Five Elements or movements? The question of rites

According to Chinese tradition the sensible world, all that we can appreciate with your senses, comes from the YANG-dell'YIN continuous transformation, the transformation of qi (气 - Breath and Vital Energy) and the transformation of WU XING (五行 - Five Elements or Movements) identified as Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, which manifest themselves through their cycles.

In the Greek view that until the Renaissance and beyond, accompanied the Western thought, the concept was very different. There were four elements: Water, Air, Fire, Earth and each of these elements, enclosed in concentric spheres, tended to stabilize until it reaches a static equilibrium. In the Chinese view each of the Five Elements / Movements produce the next (generation cycle) and simultaneously controls the element generated by the subsequent (control cycle) or in a cyclical cosmic circularity.

At this point it is appropriate to define terms and WU XING. XING has been translated by Element / Movement: An element if we want to make the analogy with the four elements of the concept greek western movement if we are to "give the right meaning to the words." The ideogram
XING (Wieger 63 C - HSING 行) consists in his left side, an element that identifies a hand with his left foot and right side of another element that identifies a hand with your right leg. It has clearly expressed a sense of "movement". WU is the number five (五 WU), which in Chinese numerology, is the organizing principle of all that exists, the center, which collects and distributes.

The traditional representation of the organization of the five movements in high places the Fire in the Water low, left and right on the metal timber. By analogy we can tie the Fire the most yang, the South, the summer maximum of yin and Water in the North, winter. For the intervening movements: the Wood, the change from Yin to Yang, the tie in the East, the spring is metal, the transition from the YANG YIN, west, autumn. The center is the place of the observer in this organization and space-time is related to the Earth and the Fifth Season, which arises as a transition or separation, between the four seasons.
