Their Productive Cycle
Earth produces/ supports Metal (mined from veins therein);
Metal produces/supports Water (liquefying when molten and also via pans and bowls);
Water produces/supports Wood (via irrigation and cultivation);
Wood produces/supports Fire (via conflagration);
Fire produces/supports Earth (via its ashes) then, once again Earth produces Metal!
This 10-Year Cycle where each Element supports/produces the next in line is represented by the Pentagon (Elements inthis sequencemanifest in the human body at the Tan T'ien). It produces the changing Year Elements accompanying the 12 Animal Years and individuals' Birth Year Elements.
Their Destructive Cycle
Earth destroys Water (river banks force it into predetermined courses);
Water destroys Fire (Fire-fighters all agree!);
Fire destroys Metal (oxy-acetylene torches cut it up);
Metal destroys Wood (via axes and saws);
Wood destroys Earth (vegetation covers it and extracts nutrients
This 10-Year Cycle where each Element removes the next-but-one from the original list is represented by the Pentagram (approximatingthe human form with outstretched arms and legs, thisrelects the elimination of stale 'shar' Qi at body-surface level)...

The Universal and Human Form
Earth Solids: bones, flesh teeth etc; also the spleen which governs transport of waste matter (i.e. faeces) for excretion and return to Earth.
Metal Gases: respiration, digestion, flatulence etc; also the lungs--all light but powerful (high power-to-weight ratios characterise Metals).
Water Liquids: (blood, semen, bile, saliva etc) and the kidneys which control hormonal secretions into the bloodstream and urination.
Fire Energies: (temperature, nervous and synaptic responses, bio-electricity, Qi etc) and the Heart which powers bodily functions and makes us warm-blooded.
Wood Spirit: (fuel, motive power source, live energy source) obtained via eating grasses, vegetables and fruit etc or animals which do: The Liver governs its extraction and delivery to the heart via the bloodstream which it conditions.
Wood-Spirit isn't Qi, which is energy, or (obviously) the Gu Shen (Valley Spirit) from the Shen Gu/Spirit Valley,between brain hemispheres, but the body's energy-source in this superstition-free 5 Elements definition which is synthesised from our diet of this Element. This fuels bodily activities invisibly via internal processes 'moving mysteriously' within us!
