Wu Xing is a traditional Chinese philosophy whose premise is that everything in the universe is connected and interdependent through five elements - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water - that are linked together and go through cycles of Generation and Destruction.


Genesis represents the Generation cycle of Wu Xing, in which the five elements work together to create order and balance, and to create a sense of harmony and oneness.

The elements interact with each other in a continuous cycle of creation, achieving unity through the harmonious balance and flow of these elements. 


Each element generates the next one in a  cycle: 

 

WOOD generates fire to burn
WOOD generates fire to burn

FIRE generates ash to nourish earth
FIRE generates ash to nourish earth

   

 

EARTH generates metal
EARTH generates metal

                                      

METAL generates and carries water
METAL generates and carries water

 

WATER generates and nourishes wood
WATER generates and nourishes wood

These dynamic connections lead to a sense of unity, highlighting the interdependence and interrelationship of all things, and the constant transformation and renewal of the universe.
