Seasonal relationship

The five elements refer to the five movement modes of gas.

Spring belongs to wood, which represents the movement mode of qi spreading around. In spring, flowers and trees flourish, the branches of trees spread around and nutrients are transported to the branches, so spring belongs to trees.

Summer belongs to fire, which means that qi moves upward. The characteristic of fire is upward. In summer, all kinds of plants grow upward and rapidly, so summer belongs to fire.

Long summer belongs to the soil, which is the transitional period of summer and autumn. The weather is hot and humid, and the crops are maturing, so the long summer belongs to the soil.

Autumn belongs to gold, which means that qi contracts inward. Gold is characterized by stability, harvest in autumn, people save food for winter and leaves fall, so autumn belongs to gold.

Winter belongs to water, which means that qi moves downward. Water flows downwards, and everything sleeps in winter, saving nutrients for spring, so winter belongs to water.

The ancients thought that a year can be subdivided into five seasons, corresponding to the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold and water respectively.
