WUXING: 

Wuxing, often referred to as the Five Elements, is a concept from ancient Chinese philosophy that helps explain the relationships and interactions between different aspects of the natural world. It consists of five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element has its own unique characteristics and qualities, and they interact with each other in dynamic ways.

 

For example, Wood feeds Fire, Fire creates Earth (ash), Earth bears Metal, Metal carries Water (as in a container), and Water nourishes Wood. This cyclical relationship between the elements helps maintain balance and harmony in nature and is often used in various practices such as traditional Chinese medicine, feng shui, and martial arts.
