Five Basic Elements of the Universe

Chinese Wisdom

The Five Basic Elements are Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood.

These elements are understood as different types of energy in a state of constant interaction and flux with one another.

The Five Elements do not only mean Fire, Earth, Water, Metal, and Wood. They also mean Movement, Change, and Development. They are changing, moving, waning, and expanding all the time.

 

 

Balanced Business

The most important of all is the balance of all five elements. The movements of five elements are stable and predictable when they are in balance, and vice versa.
