"They're complementary" is a trite and too-easy response, but it has the advantage of being true, at least if you presuppose the broader underpinnings of Chinese philosophy (which has always been a bit more pragmatist and less concerned with the expressly metaphysical than, say, Indian philosophy). I think how I'd like to interpret this question is which you think precedes the other, and I would tend to agree with the posters saying or implying that Confucianism precedes Taoism insofar as the Taoist theory of everyday life is among other things structured as liberation from some of the demands of the Confucian one.
