In Chinese philosophy, wood (Chinese: 木; pinyin: mù), sometimes translated as Tree,[1] is the growing of the matter, or the matter's growing expanding stage.[2] Wood is the first phase of Wu Xing when observing or discussing movement or growth. Wood is the lesser yang character (yin within yang) of the Five elements, fuelling Fire. It stands for springtime, the east, the planet Jupiter, the color green, windy weather, and the Azure Dragon (Qing Long) in Four Symbols. Blue and cyan-type colors also represent wood.
