Wuxing War

(Copy and edit from Wikipedia):

It is a fivefold conceptual scheme that many traditional Chinese fields used to explain a wide array of phenomena, from cosmic cycles to the interaction between internal organs, and from the succession of political regimes to the properties of medicinal drugs. The "Five Phases" are Fire (火 huǒ), Water (水 shuǐ), Wood (木 mù), Metal (金 jīn), and Earth (土 tǔ). 

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

The Generation Cycle is:

• Wood feeds Fire
• Fire creates Earth (ash)
• Earth bears Metal
• Metal collects Water
• Water nourishes Wood

The Overcome Cycle is:

• Wood parts Earth (such as roots or trees can prevent soil erosion)
• Earth dams (or muddies or absorbs) Water
• Water extinguishes Fire
• Fire melts Metal
• Metal chops Wood
