Which book does black and white impermanence come from?

Black-and-white impermanence is a deity in Taoist belief, usually manifested as two immortals, one black and one white, dressed in official clothes. They are the recorders in the book of life and death in the underworld, responsible for recording people's life and death, so they are regarded as servants of the underworld in Taoist beliefs. In the Taoist classic "Tai Shang Induction", there are images and responsibilities that record the impermanence of black and white. In addition, in the traditional culture of China, black and white impermanence is also a common literary image, which appears in many novels, operas, movies and cartoons.
