A room of Wood · 木
One of the five phases behind your Primal Zodiac Animal
the green dragon
Wood is the east, the spring, and the first stirring of life, and Chinese myth fills it with green dragons, sacred trees, and the farmer who tasted the herbs.
The Azure Dragon 青龍 (Qīnglóng) guards the east and the spring, one of the four celestial animals. 神農 (Shénnóng), the Divine Farmer, invented the plow and tasted a hundred herbs, 嘗百草, to teach medicine and agriculture, the culture-hero of the Wood domain. Myth also names the sacred sun-tree 扶桑 (Fúsāng), from which the suns rise, and the world-tree 建木 (Jiànmù) at the centre of the earth.
Wood carries China's evergreen virtues: the Four Gentlemen 四君子 of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, and the Three Friends of Winter 岁寒三友, pine, bamboo, and plum, symbols of endurance and integrity. Bamboo 竹 bends without breaking; pine 松 holds green through the cold. The proverb 十年树木百年树人, ten years to grow a tree and a hundred to raise a person, carries Wood's long patience.
