I don’t know if this dear friend made a typo or if his basic knowledge is not solid. But no matter what the reason, I happened to see it passing by and couldn't bear to be misled by the poster. I corrected the content below.
Among the five elements, earth overcomes water, rather than water overcoming earth.
The specific mutual interactions are as follows: metal defeats wood, wood defeats earth, earth defeats water, water defeats fire, and fire defeats metal. This is a mutually exclusive relationship.
Metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal. This is the relationship of mutual generation.
