is yin.

wood, fire, earth, metal), and each element contains

Stems clashes

 Competition with the opposite side


 Stronger then regular control DING

 Yin with yin GENG

 The clash of stems creates potential


for a change (branches make the final YI XIN
result. And that means that the stem
without a branch is meaningless).

3. The polarity must be like the main element. REN XIN
4. Competition/ jealousy- when 2 or more want
to transform.
 Yang wood + yin earth = earth
5. When there are 2 without root- combination  Yang metal + yin wood = metal

 Yang fire +yin metal = water
6. DM transforms only with month or hour  Yang water + yin fire = wood
