Epilogue

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth are five living elements, five energies that are constantly operating, interacting, blending, and changing to produce everything in the world.

Next time you have the fortune to enjoy a bowl of rice, observe carefully. The sun, rain, and soil provide nutrients for rice growth. After being processed with metal farm tools and cooked with heat, it becomes our staple food.

If we carefully observe our home, school, nature… as well as our body and mind, do we not see the Five Elements everywhere? Our immediate surroundings influence and depend on the operations of the Five Elements. When the Five Elements are balanced, harmony is achieved. This is the wisdom of our Chinese culture.

Think carefully

Love ourselves, love nature and respect others.
