SHENG AND KE CYCLES • SHENG: Generative cycle. WOOD GENERATES FIRE, FIRE GENERATES EARTH ( as ASHES ), EARTH GENERATES METAL, METAL GENERATES WATER, WATER GENERATES WOOD. • KE: Control Cycle. Water controls Fire ( or puts out fire ), Wood controls Earth ( or invades it ), Fire controls Metal, Earth controls Water and Metal controls wood ( or cuts it! ).
