The five basic elements are:
Wood (Chinese: 木, pinyin: mù) --> Green
Fire (Chinese: 火, pinyin: huǒ) --> Red
Earth (Chinese: 土, pinyin: tǔ) --> Yellow
Metal (Chinese: 金, pinyin: jīn) --> White
Water (Chinese: 水, pinyin: shuǐ) --> Black or Blue
The doctrine of five phases describes two cycles, a generating or creation (生, shēng) cycle, also known as "mother-son", and an overcoming or destruction or Co (克/剋, kè) cycle, also known as "grandfather-nephew", of interactions between the phases.
Co Cycle in Acupuncture (see figure purple arrow)
This cycle means: control or control growth.
Between five basic elements, there are the relationships that the one control the other one element.
Example:
• Wood parts Earth (such as roots);
• Earth absorbs (or muddies) Water;
• Water quenches Fire;
• Fire melts Metal;
• Metal chops Wood.
This cycle might also be called "controls", "restrains" or "fathers".
