　　The five elements of traditional Chinese medicine are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They are a cyclic mechanism of mutual reinforcement and mutual restraint: wood affects the liver, fire affects the heart, earth belongs to the spleen, metal controls the lungs, and water affects the kidneys. They are interlocked. Human attributes are not completely single. It may be that water is partial to earth, or wood is partial to fire.
