So far, I have covered the subject of 5 elements with special emphasis on its characteristics, 5 emotions (五志) & 5 virtues (五德).
Judging from the low participation & response rate, I suppose the readers may have the feeling that it is all too common sense & nothing to get excited about.
Indeed, it looks simple & we have learned it in the elementary stage of our metaphysical studies. However, as mentioned in my previous postings, I would deem 易经（known as I-Ching or The Book of Changes） as the Book of Simplicity. The simplicity conceals profound implications.
Before I share with your on its applications, I would like to invite all of you to return to previous posting for further investigation. I would also wish to invite you to share your insight with us after the so-called revision.
Example : Potentially which of the element can get angry, worry,.... easily?

Hi Master Goh,
why is water's virtue = 智 and water's emotion = 惊、恐?
similarly, how does the 易经 get/derived the remaining 4 elements' virtue and emotion？
Please advise. Thanks!

Thanks for your postings.

There are more reading and following than commenting :-)

Devadoy,
So sad to heard that :(
During my class, I encourage students to stretch their mind to think further & deeper. It is only thru' thinking that we learn :)
Nevertheless, enjoy reading.
