The Five Elements Theory
The five elements are metal (金), wood (木), water (水), fire (火), and earth (土). Chinese people use this five elements theory for a lot of things, from the interaction between internal organs to politics, Chinese medicine or even cuisine.
Yin & Yang, it's about trying to find the perfect balance between the five elements. There are two main relationships between these five elements, one is called “mutual generation (相生)” and the other one is called “mutual overcoming (相剋).”
