This concept has a rather complicated interpretation, which is an Eastern understanding of the basic law of struggle and the unity of contradictions. The interaction of these principles gives rise to five elements: fire, metal, earth, water, and wood. This concept is based on the interaction of these elements that create the whole world, including Man. Surprisingly, this concept is still fundamental not only in philosophy, but also in Chinese medicine, martial arts, gymnastics, cooking, and linguistics.
