Feng Shui: the five elements

philosophical basis of Feng Shui and Chinese art of prediction is the theory of the five elements.It is believed that these elements - metal, wood, fire, water and earth - form all things in the universe and have a tremendous impact on everyday life.

Everything in the world can be classified using this theory.For example, the lion - a metal;Tiger - is the Earth;a boy born in 1988 - a tree, and so on.Since the five elements constitute the five basic forces in the universe, everything (except the gods) subject to their influence.There are natural

rules governing the interaction of the five elements.A clear understanding of this interaction is the starting point in the study of feng shui.There is a circular relationship between the elements, also called the cycle of generation or creation.
