Is the Five Elements Theory Superstition or Science?

The theory of five elements is a simple dialectical materialism philosophy of ancient Han people.

The basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine is established by applying the five characteristics of wood, fire, earth, gold and water in ancient philosophical theory to understand and explain the system structure and methodology of nature, so as to explain the relationship between human organs, the attributes and movement changes of organs and the relationship between human body and the external environment. "Five elements" are closely related to "five internal organs" and "five aspirations", which are mutually restricted by life and life. When the five elements can't maintain the physiological balance of interaction, the relationship between life and system is transformed into the relationship between multiplication (taking advantage of the situation and overstepping the system) and bullying (being bullied by the strong and bullying the Lord), resulting in corresponding pathological changes. Applying the "Five Elements Theory" to the treatment of psychosomatic diseases can promote the rehabilitation of psychosomatic diseases by adjusting emotions and using drugs skillfully.
