Feng Shui: The Five Elements What are the Five Elements? The five elements can be more accurately described as Five Transformation of Chi, from Yin to Yang and vice versa. The term Five Elements or "Wu-Xing" in Chinese means "Five Movements" or "Five-Transformations." The phases of Chi when it transforms form one state to another changes from one form of energy to another. The interaction of the different transforming phases effects the balance of the universe. Chinese believe that ALL MATTER can be classified under one or more of the Five Elements. And these interact to influence a person's destiny and his interaction with the environment. The types of Chi are:
When the elements move in a positive transformation, it is a forward cycle or "Xiong Sang." This means "Producing." When an element "produces" another, it is in a harmonious cycle.
When there is a naturally "producing" order, it will lead to harmony, prosperity and happiness.
