Seasonal relationship
The five elements refer to the five modes of movement of gas.
Spring belongs to the wood and represents the movement of gases spreading around. In spring, flowers, plants and trees grow luxuriantly, and the branches of the trees stretch out to all sides, transporting nutrients to the branches, so spring belongs to the wood.
Summer belongs to fire, which represents the upward movement of gas. The characteristic of fire is upward. In summer, various plants grow upward and rapidly, so summer belongs to fire.
Changxia belongs to earth. Changxia is a transitional period between summer and autumn, when the weather is hot and humid and crops mature, so Changxia belongs to earth.
Autumn belongs to gold, which represents the inward contraction of gas. The characteristic of gold is stability. When people harvest in autumn, people save food to prepare for the winter, and leaves fall, so autumn belongs to gold.
Winter belongs to water, which represents the downward movement of gas. Water flows to lower places, and everything goes dormant in winter to accumulate nutrients for spring, so winter belongs to water.
The ancients believed that a year can be divided into five seasons, corresponding to the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
