The Moon overhead, its phases, and the path they light.
The phase of growth and spring
mù · east · spring · the virtue 仁 rén, benevolence
Wood is the phase that bends and straightens, 曲直 (qū zhí). It is the first green push of the year, growth reaching upward and outward, the young yang of spring and new life. In Chinese thought Wood is not one thing: it is a towering tree and a climbing vine at once. Meet both below.
The centrepiece · 甲 and 乙
Every phase has a yang face and a yin face. For Wood they even carry their own names: 甲 the great tree and 乙 the grass and vine. Tap one.
Where Wood sits on the wheel
Wood is fed by one phase, feeds another, holds a third in check, and is held by a fourth. Follow any thread to that phase.
