Cycles
The doctrine of five phases describes two Cycles of Balance, a generating or
creation (生, shēng) cycle and an overcoming or destruction (克/剋, kè)
cycle of interactions between the phases.


[edit] Generating
The common memory jogs, which help to remind in what order the phases are,
are:

Wood feeds Fire;
Fire creates Earth (ash);
Earth bears Metal;
Metal carries Water (as in a bucket or tap);
Water nourishes Wood.
Other common words for this cycle include "begets", "engenders" and
"mothers." two cycles of balance is yin and yang this generates energy for
the elements to take power to good or evil


[edit] Overcoming
Wood parts Earth;
Earth absorbs Water;
Water quenches Fire;
Fire melts Metal;
Metal chops Wood.
Also:

Wood absorbs Water;
Water rusts Metal;
Metal breaks up Earth;
Earth smothers fire;
Fire burns Wood
This cycle might also be called "controls", "restrains" or "fathers".


Interactions of Five Chinese Elements - Cycles of Balance and Cycles of
ImbalanceThere are also two Cycles of Imbalance, an overacting cycle (cheng)
and an insulting cycle (wu).
