The original name for the philosophy of stems and branches in the Chinese Classics is "the five movements and six energies", based on the five elements Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water and the six original energies, being the Growing qi, the Expanding qi, the Full Grown qi, the Changing qi, the Gathered qi and the Hidden qi. They generate the 10 heavenly stems and 12 earthly branches, which are well known for their use in the Chinese calendar, but less known as a technique in acupuncture to treat the constitution of people.
This article describes the origin of the five element cycle from Heaven, and their transformation to the level of Man.

The original concept
The original concept of five elements derives from Heaven (Qian), containing four virtues: Yuan, the initial cause; Heng, liberty; Li, goodness; Zhen, perfection.
These four virtues are called the four emanations or the four faces of Heaven, and are, together with Qian (Heaven) the archetypes of the Five Elements or Five Transformations.

Qian: The Oneness, the central Heavenly force, reveals itself as One, as Qian. The four emanations flow from this new central consciousness in the four directions, East, South, West and North. The four emanations are, on a mystical way the same as Qian, but seen from another point of view and perspective. The consciousness of the Oneness is divided, and will be divided more and more along the line of revelation. The concept of a higher or lower consciousness, does not mean a concept with hierarchy, but with more or less awareness of oneness. The more we experience limitations, discriminations, variety and multiplicity, the more we experience a lower consciousness. The more we experience oneness, harmony and equality, the more we experience a higher consciousness. Revelation comes forth from a radiating principle and is centrifugal. Development of consciousness on the other hand is centripetal, in the direction of the centre of our being. Revelation and consciousness are other words for radiating out and in.

Qian means substance and form of Heaven, and is equivalent to force of action or activity. It is the time for doing, being the origin and beginning of all beings and things.

Yuan: The emanation of the East. The creating force, rooted in Zhen and rises in the direction of Heng. Yuan means original cause, being the beginning of all things and beings, at the level of the four directions, acting as the guiding principle. “In the beginning…. does not mean a static initial force. It is a force guiding the processes coming forth from that beginning. In this way it is the origin and guiding principle of all actions of Man on earth.

Heng: The emanation of the South. Heng means the movement rising up of all things, liberty, giving rise to intelligence. It also means to penetrate, to have an influence (of Heaven) upon all things and beings, with the aim to make them prosper. Heng describes the influence of the spiritual world on Man. It is the ever penetrating force of the South, the ever penetrating consciousness; Life of the inspired matter. All matter in any form has life.

Li: The emanation of the West, meaning goodness. It is the beneficial force, the force of gathering. Li gives limitations to the liberty of Heng. This is the time of the harvest, of the capacity to satisfy ones needs, to profit. Li is the opposite of Yuan, the beginning, symbolizing that death and life belong to the same cycle. The limiting and gathering quality of Li is needed to nourish the next cycle of life.

Zhen: The emanation of the North, meaning perfection. It is the invariable, determining energy and is called the primal force of all things and beings. It feeds Yuan and exists through the gathering of Li. It is unchangeable like hereditary energy. Through the determination of this energy we see discrimination between things. Zhen means natural and perfect development of all things and beings. Uprightness, sincerity and purity.

Yuan gives rise to Wood
Heng gives rise to Fire
Li gives rise to Metal
Zhen gives rise to Water
Qian gives rise to Earth

Heaven-Earth-Man concept of 5 elements
Qian and the four emanations are the archetypes of the five elements, generating three levels of the five element cycles. The level of Heaven, which cannot be influenced by Man, is symbolized by the five heavens in the sky.
The Earth level, consisting of the so called Great Movements and the Celestial Stems, transform and transport the qi of Heaven, to make it applicable for Man. The Great Movements are the dynamic part of the Celestial Stems.
The Man level is the well known ‘ordinary’ level of five elements.

Heaven: The five heavens in the sky:

The central heaven of the Yellow dragon (Qian, Earth)
The eastern heaven of the green-azure dragon (Yuan,Wood)
The southern heaven of the red-vermilion bird (Heng, Fire)
The northern heaven of the black turtle, the snake or the dark warrior (Zhen,Water).

Every heaven has his own ruler in the form of a planet. The inner planets Mercury and Venus are the planets between the sun and the earth and are Yin. The outer planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are orbiting around the sun with a larger orbit than the Earth, and are Yang.

Earth: The 10 Great Movements
Each lunar year is ruled by one of the planets with its related element. At this level the five elements are called the Great Movements (Dai Van), meaning that they rule every movement or cycle on earth in that specific year. The five planets make orbits around the sun, having a Yang and Yin phase in relation to the equatorial plane. Therefor there are 5 Yang Great Movements and 5 Yin Great Movements.

The Great Movements describe the Earth; the cycle of the Great Movements starts with Earth, describing the cycle of the development of a plant from the seed in the ground (Earth), needing minerals (Metal) and fluids (Water) for nourishment and growth. These steps in the development of the plant take place hidden under the surface of the earth. Then, during springtime (Wood) the plant comes above the surface to reach for the light, where it will flourish and blossom (Fire).

YANG YIN 1 + 2 - 3 + 4 - 5 + 6 - 7 + 8 - 9 + 10 - Yang Earth Water Fire Metal Wood Yin Metal Wood Earth Water Fire Years ending with 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3

The first five Great Movements are Yang, the second five Yin; they also alternate from Yang to Yin. The odd numbers are Yang, the even numbers are Yin.
The Great Movements which are Yang (odd) are active (+), and those which are Yin (even) are passive (-).

A Great Movement being active or excessive, has an effect on the element next in the Ko (Ke) cycle, giving it a deficiency. Hence, when the Water Great Movement is active, it leads to a deficiency of Fire.

A Great Movement being passive or insufficient, has an effect on the element preceding it in the Ko-cycle, giving it excess. Hence, when the Water Great Movement is passive, it leads to an excess in Earth.

This seems a bit odd, but is understandable, when we look at the Mo cycle, or reverse Ko cycle, as the cycle of friendship, instead of the insulting cycle. This cycle of friendship is based on the need of every element to express itself, by use of the other element in the Mo cycle. This is a normal and harmonious relationship.

Earth needs Water, otherwise it becomes too dry and will be blown away as sand.
Water needs Fire or warmth, otherwise it becomes ice.
Fire needs Metal. The consciousness or the spirit needs a form (metal) to cling on, as fire or light needs matter to express itself. E.g. the light of the sun during the darkness of the night is only visible when it hits planets or the moon. Without matter, fire is not visible.
Metal, which we find deep in the ground, needed plants and wood to become metal.
Wood, the roots of a tree, needs Earth to find stability. If there is not enough Earth, the tree will fall down.

When the Fire is active, in excess, there is an excess of heat. It will subdue the lungs. This can be felt on the pulse at Lu-9
When the Earth is active, in excess, there is an excess of dampness. It will subdue the kidneys. This can be felt on pulse Ki-3
When the Metal is active, in excess, there is an excess of dryness. It will subdue the liver. This can be felt on pulse at Liv-3 in male, and at Liv-9 or in the groin in female.
When the Water is active, in excess, there is an excess of coldness. It will subdue the heart. This can be felt on pulse at Ht-7
When the Wood is active, in excess, there is an excess of wind. It will subdue the spleen. This can be felt on the pulse at St-42 in male, and at Sp-11 in female.

When the Fire is passive, insufficient, it leads to more Water, to more coldness.
When the Earth is passive, insufficient, it leads to more Wood, to more wind.
When the Metal is passive, insufficient, it leads to more Fire, to more heat.
When the Water is passive, insufficient, it leads to more Earth, to more dampness.
When the Wood is passive, insufficient, it leads to more Metal, to more dryness.

These rules of the Great Movements are applied on weather situations, and also on the internal climate, the internal energies of people. When one is born in a Fire active Great Movement year (excess), one has a tendency to have insufficient Metal, especially the lungs. And when one is born in a Fire passive Great Movement year (deficiency), one has the tendency to have more energy in the Water element, which leads to more coldness in the body.

At this point it is important to understand that constitutional weaknesses are in general challenges in peoples life’s, giving direction to a certain development on a physical, emotional and spiritual way. We have to find solutions for the request for energy. Often in clinic, one sees patients who search for a short term solution, giving a quick boost to their weaknesses, resulting eventually in exhaustion. A well know example of this pattern is the tendency of people to eat a lot of sweets, to boost their weak Spleen, after which it falls back to more insufficiency.
Long term solutions for constitutional weaknesses are found in right diet, emotional and spiritual behaviour. In the example of the weak, insufficient Spleen, patients feel attracted to sympathetic and empathetic environments. Their choices in profession, for their relationships, for holidays etc. etc. are often directed by this need for a support of Spleen energy. But there is always the danger of over-doing and over-asking for getting a quick boost. Constitutional weaknesses receive positive support by long term, regular solutions, never by a strong, short stimulus of energy. It is the difference between receiving a pat on the back or a strong push.
Spiritually a weak Spleen (with Great Movement Earth passive or Great Movement Wood active) benefits from an attitude in which one seeks for awareness, without judgement or ethical standard. One should experience life as it comes, without frustration, laxity or passivity. It comes close to Wu Wei, doing by not doing, which does not mean doing nothing, but excepting the laws of nature and follow them without questioning them.
A weak Lung (Great Movement Metal passive or Great Movement Fire active) benefits from an attitude in which people are and become receptive for "cosmic" energies. This could be anything of a heavenly concept, like religion, mysticism, new age, as long as people seek for interpretation and direction for a spiritual structure in their daily life.
Weak Kidneys (Great Movement Water passive or Great Movement Earth active) benefit from interest in wisdom and from a creative attitude. This creativity can be expressed in any direction, in profession, hobby's, thinking, cooking, as long as the creativity is performed with joy and love.
A weak Liver (Great Movement Wood passive or Great Movement Metal active) benefits from a development of mental capacities and of decision making. Expressing the desire to live life and the ability to express and control love and hate, are also long term beneficial answers.
A weak Heart (Great Movement Fire passive or Great Movement Water active) benefits from an attitude of in-sight and under-standing.

Earth and Man: 10 Celestial Stems and the five elements

The 10 Great Movements together with the 10 celestial stems transform the heavenly energy, making it applicable for Man. The system of the celestial stems is, in contrast with the cycles of the sun, the moon or the planets, a metaphysical system, invented by man, but based on accurate observation of nature. It is a very old system by which the sages in the past tried to understand and to explain the natural cycles in life. The famous Emperor Yü, the River Emperor, who divided his country in 9 divisions, wrote The Great Plan, also with nine divisions, inspired by well defined signs on the back of the shell of a turtle, to help him reign the country. The forth of these nine divisions says:

"The harmonious use of the five dividers of time: The year of the planet Jupiter, the moon, the sun, the stars and the planets and the zodiac and the calculations of the calendar."

The 10 celestial stems (with the 12 earthly branches) are the essence of the Chinese calendar, helping the Emperor reigning his country, by describing processes on earth. They also have a highly spiritual meaning, but the explanation of this spiritual meaning is unfortunately beyond this article.

The cycle of the celestial stems The old Chinese characters describe the meaning of the stems quite understandable.
The names in brackets are the Pin Yin names.

1. Chia (Jia)

Yuan/Wood Emanation Heaven
Earth Great Mvmt Earth
Chia Stem Earth
Gallbladder Organ Man

The meaning of the character is a root or a bud in its protective husk, at the point where it is breaking out, symbolising that Yang moves in the East, to sprout seeds from the winter. The root of Chia is in the preceding stems 9, Jen and 10, Kuei related to the winter. Chia belongs to the East and Spring.
The Great Movements describe the earth, so this cycle starts with Earth. Combined with the stem Chia it forms the pathway for the heavenly qi to create the Yang of Wood/ Gallbladder.

2. Yi (Yi)

Yuan/Wood Emanation Heaven
Metal Great Mvmt Earth
Yi Stem Earth
Liver Organ Man

The meaning of the character is a shoot leaving the bud, a symbol of strong growth and a general notion of movement, of effort.
Another meaning is a twisted plant, symbolising strong growth, but also indicating creative vibration of spring. Here we find the Great Movement Metal combined with the growing energy of Liver, standing for minerals and physical nourishment necessary for growth.

3. Ping (Bing)

Heng/Fire Emanation Heaven
Water Great Mvmt Earth
Ping Stem Earth
Small Intestine Organ Man

The meaning of the character is the housing of the power of fire. The meaning is a flower or blossoming in the Summer. During the time of Ping (and Ting) the energies of Heaven make things blossom and ripen. The power of Fire is concentrated in Ping. Where Man is concerned, this means that Man houses the consciousness (Heng) with the aim to develop and blossom.

4. Ting (Ding)

Heng/Fire Emanation Heaven
Wood Great Mvmt Earth
Ting Stem Earth
Heart Organ Man

The meaning of the character is the sting of a bee, burning like fire in the Summer. Another commentary states that it is a like the nail, which is the result of fire and the material where the nail is made from. Without fire, nothing can burn or exist. Here we see how Fire (the Shen) and Wood (the Hun) create Man as a tool.

5. Wu (Wu)

Qian/Earth Emanation Heaven
Fire Great Mvmt Earth
Wu Stem Earth
Stomach Organ Man

The meaning of the character is a hand holding a cutting instrument, cutting something. It gives the idea of reaping. The meaning is abundance, just before the first harvest in Late Summer. The first five stems are Yang in relation to the later five. This stem is the last and the peak of Yang and the end of prosperity. Ceasing of energy will start.

6. Chi (Ji)

Qian/Earth Emanation Heaven
Earth Great Mvmt Earth
Chi Stem Earth
Spleen Organ Man

The meaning of the character symbolises originally the thread of the weft, on the weaving loom. According to the commentaries this signifies full bloom in Late Summer. The thread symbolises the connection of Chi with the Winter, with hibernation. It also means a person, one's self, I, myself. It is the first of the five Yin stems.
The change from Yang into Yin stems will be guided by the element Earth (Great Movement and Organ are Earth).

7. Cheng (Geng)

Li/Metal Emanation Heaven
Metal Great Mvmt Earth
Cheng Stem Earth
Colon Organ Man

The character is a clear representation of two hands, one on the left and one on the right, holding and waving with something. This indicates threshing rice in a mortar, harvesting and gathering.
The Yang organ of Metal, Colon, works in Autumn together with the Great Movement Metal producing a strong inward movement to collect things, to be prepared for the Winter.

8. Sin (Xin)

Li/Metal Emanation Heaven
Water Great Mvmt Earth
Sin Stem Earth
Lungs Organ Man

The origin of this character is an image of attack or punishment after offending ones superior. The consequence for it is pain and bitterness. It is the time for death penalties.
The Yin organ of Metal relates to the Great Movement Water, to receive stillness and peace, necessary for protection of the harvest in the Autumn.

9. Jen (Ren)

Zhen/ Water Emanation Heaven
Wood Great Mvmt Earth
Jen Stem Earth
Bladder Organ Man

The origin of this character is the image of a man carrying a yoke with his own troubles, hanging at each end. The meaning of this is the Yin at its peak, Yang is born. The Yang of Water, Bladder, is combined with the Great Movement Wood giving a stimulus for creation or conception. This stem in the Winter is the power behind the growth of the first stem Chia.

10. Kuei (Gui)

Zhen/ Water Emanation Heaven
Fire Great Mvmt Earth
Kuei Stem Earth
Kidney Organ Man

The meaning of the character is mats or decorations made of grass on which offerings are placed, to give thanks to the ancestors for their deeds. One looks back and gives thanks for what is gathered for the Winter. Everything which will be created lives still protected and in the seclusion of the earth. The Yin organ of Water, Kidney, needs the warmth of the Great Movement Fire, symbolising the enormous storage of qi and fertility in the seed, to become visible during the time of Chia, the Spring.

The heavenly stems are inextricable connected to the earthly branches, which describe the human psyche in relationship with society. To describe the cycle of the 12 branches and their relationships, I would like to share my Chinese Allegory with the reader. The first branch relates to the Gallbladder, the second to the Liver etc.

A Chinese Allegory

This allegory describes, in a mystical way, the character of the organs and their influences on the human psyche. It can help to understand the underlying energetic problems behind behavior anomalies and to sharpen our diagnosis. However, one should read it with a flexible mind, because nothing in Chinese medicine is pure black and white. It is likely possible that patients show only a few aspects of the presented organ. Further more, when someone for instance has a hypochondriac attitude, you can’t say, just from this allegory, that he has a Gallbladder problem. One should always check it in tandem with all the possible methods of diagnosis that Chinese medicine provides, such as body- pulse- and tongue diagnosis. Then it will be a good guide in finding causes behind psychological problems and their possible treatments.

One Chinese New Year a long time ago Buddha invited all the animals to meet him. Nearly all of them ignored his invitation, being preoccupied with important things like eating, drinking, sleeping and mating, but twelve animals did come to see him. In order of arrival came the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
Buddha offered each animal a year, which would be named after him till the end of time and would express the symbolic character of the related animal. Such is the legend.

To you Rat, I give my seed and the honour of sowing it.
Every seed will become a plant and multiply a million times,
But you will have no time to see it grow.
You are like a small child, determined, without a plan.
You are the starting point, renewing the Idea.
You are the governor of the Gallbladder.

Your life means action, providing people with good judgement, assertiveness, decisiveness and determination. For your good work, I give you the virtue of Self-Assertion.
But beware. It is not your task to feed and develop or to doubt the Idea or to use your qualities for other reasons; Then you will be the cause of unreasonable anger. Furthermore you will show signs of poor judgement, indecisiveness and a lack of self-assertion even becoming hypochondriac, or you may overcompensate, becoming a self-satisfied person complaining about all the mistakes other people make. You have a sensitive sense of justice; the world seems wrong to you.
So use your qualities well.

To you Ox, I give the power to create matter from the seed.
To support growth of young plants.
You have a difficult task which needs patience.
You are like a young plant, with a plan to reach for the light,

Your life means growth, knowing how to plan effectively and being flexible to adjust to different circumstances. You are characterised by your personal drive and good understanding of the moral standard.
For your good work I give you the virtue of Flexible Power.
But beware. This power is flammable. When you use your flexibility for other reasons than reaching for the light, it will harm you. It will cause irritability, expressing anger. Your flexibility will cease, becoming stubborn, with a poor ability to cope with your world. You may experience signs of depression with the tendency to hyperventilate.
So use your qualities well.

Your life means freedom based on a firm structure. You provide people with a good opportunity to have an easy social interaction, with a social self-confidence.
For your good work, I give you the virtue of Peace
But beware. If you influence the process between heaven and earth to benefit yourself, it will harm you. Life will become constricted and condensed, to bring you guilt, grief, sadness and despair. You suffer from an inadequate social life, which can develop into emotional and physical claustrophobia or into overconfidence.

So use your qualities well.
To you Rabbit, I give the courage to strive forward,
To let go of the experiences of the past.
Your door is always open to new movements and excitements .
You mirror life’s foundations as feelings and emotions,
which assemble in the ‘brains’ of the belly.
You are the governor of the Colon.

Your life means growing fast into the future. You give people the great strength necessary to let go of the experiences of the past, and the fulfilment within by that which you experience from without.
For your good work, I give you the virtue of Courage.
But beware, if you become greedy, addicted to the fulfilment, your life will become full of anguish, desperation, grief and guilt. You will lose the insight that everything relates to everything else, and will think only of your future gain.
So use your qualities well.

Your life means creation through transformation of the heavenly energy based on ordination. You show discipline and order; by these you will know how to organise your internal reality. Your strength comes from concentration and meditation through self contemplation.
For your good work, I give you the virtue of Positiveness.
But beware, if you forget the love through which you work, your discipline and order will change into fixation and blockage, showing as excessive pensiveness and obsessions, intractable habits and dogmatism. Then you are especially focused on negative experiences, which can develop into melancholy.

Your sharp sense of discrimination is expressed by a disciplined use of your mental facilities together with a fluent powerful use of language. For your good work, I give you the virtue of Perseverance.
But beware, if you become too dominant or arrogant, your joy will change into worries, you will live a life lacking in spontaneity. You will try to overcome this by showing the tendency to intellectualise your emotions and experiences and by compulsive talking.

This is the way to overcome times of misfortune.
For your good work, I give the virtue of Humour
But beware, if you become dogmatic and unreceptive, forgetting your sense of humour, your actions will end in failure.

You seek lonely places, surveying the situation.
You work in a state of ferment creating new potential,

You prepare the earth for the next sowing season.
You are the hinge between potency and reality.
This Love first causes decline yet is based on loyalty.
You are fully committed to the future race.
You are the governor of the Heart Constrictor.

Your life means serving, with minor, personal involvement. You show the capacity for commitment.
You listen to the rhythm of life, giving love where needed. Sometimes you destroy, giving the freedom to follow a new direction.
For your good work ,I give you the virtue of Freedom.
But beware, if you involve yourself too personally, trying to personify yourself with the Love, you will fail to hear anymore the rhythm of life. Then you will show self-preoccupation with excessive self-containment You will lose your freedom, fearing over-exposure.
So use your qualities well.

It is through humility that you serve.
You are the governor of the Three Heater.

Your life means involvement. You give people an emotional and physical harmony with their environment. By good regulation you show the capacity to generate and accept change.
For your good work, I give you the virtue of Humility.
But beware, if your humility is misplaced, it will show as excessive caution and an over regulated lifestyle. Your efforts to evangelise my Idea will fail every time, without understanding why. This will frustrate you and make you lonely.
So use your qualities well.

Then the Buddha said: Every one of you carries part of my Idea. Every one of you is perfect, but that you will only know, when all of you become One. Only then the Plan will be revealed.
