Five Elements and Relationships: Relationships (Part Two) 

Such great learning with teacher ! Thanks for sharing.

Im waiting for more vídeos, great Job

I want to involve two elements to do the 'balancing' work on " fire-water" relationship as specified by the creator. First , allowing more ' earth' element in, to reduce the excessive ''power' of water and adding the 'wood' element in considerable amount to give 'fire' element more strength. However, I like to watch ' Mist-of-Iching' channel not only for his knowlwdge parameters but also his simplicities. I love his focus pattern which is direct on-topic and no show of 'overbearing' attiude , that most of the channels do.

Hello yang, I hope you will continue to make more I ching videos. I am a new subscriber and I am learning a lot from these videos! Please keep posting 🙏

Fire can be nourished by wood element. And also water can be restrained by using earth element.

Thank you 😊

Earth will absorb water; wood will increase fire.

Thanks for a great video! I've seen different sources explain how Metal supporting Water works but I'm curious what most of the Chinese literature says. I've seen this relationship described as being because: - Metal is providing minerals to Water, nourishing it - Water is able to condense on Metal and turn into drops, seemingly being "created" by the Metal - Metal vessels provide containers for Water - Metal melts and flows like Water Do you know what the standard examples are that are typically given in most Chinese literature? It seems like this particular relationship is the most abstract amongst all of the creation and destruction relationships so any clarity you could provide here would help. Thank you!

Answer: You would have to hold the Water in check by the element that restrains it, which is Earth.

In this kind of element system: would water be reduced by nourishing wood? If yes the balance could not only be attained by reducing the water with earth or nourishing the flame with wood but also by water nourishing wood. But again that would require the assumption that an element will be reduced by generating other elements.

earth conquers water reduces waters effectiveness against fire

if fire is too much restraint by water hmmm.. Fire is generated by wood and fire generates soil Soil restrains water and soil restrained by wood So we can probably resolve this by using the soil to restain water eventually wood will come and fire can be generated again

water can be drained by wood and support fire
