Wood Element Flag — 木元素標誌

So what are the ancient elements?  Half the world includes Earth, Air, Fire, & Water while the other half thinks about Earth, Fire, Water, Metal and Wood.  It all depends on which culture you grew up in.  But since the world is basically one big city, it is time to harmonize of the ancient elemental notion with a modern view.

Basically, the cultures that follow Western-Roman Astrology use four elements, while cultures that follow Eastern-Chinese Astrology came up with five elements.  Both the Eastern and Western Zodiacs agree with three original elements: Fire, Water, and Earth.   The difference is that East has a category for Metal and Wood, which the West does not.  Yet, the West has a category for Air, while the East does not.

One theory is that the Western Mind knew that matter could exist in different forms: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.  Thus in a way, the early Western model of elements had a rudimentary understanding of the different states of matter: solid-Earth, liquid-Water, gas-Air, plasma-Fire.

Likewise in the East, another rudimentary aspect about matter was understood.  Ancient Chinese thinkers figured that matter could be categorized as metallic or non-metallic with their Wood and Metal classifications.  Wood is mostly made up of non-metallic matter like: carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and such. While the vast majority of other atoms are metal.  There is even a few that straddle the line like Silicon and Selenium being 'Trans" so to speak. 

But this post is about the Ancient Element of Wood.  The modern flag for the Wood Elemental is a vertical tri-bar of green, brown, and buff.  

Since Wood is composed of Organic Atomic Elements, it represents the vast multitude of  personal identity traits that express themselves naturally independent of religion, ethnic, nation, or language.   For example being left or right handed falls under the Wooden Elemental framework.  Also, being a twin, albino, dwarf, or super tall are Wooden Identities.

Nearly all genetic/congenital conditions are Wooden Identities.  Sexuality is also a Wooden trait, although a small minority disagrees.  Here is laundry list of Wooden identities: Zodiac Sign (Eastern & Western), where you were born, ability to see or not see colour, any kind of food/medicine allergy, atypical sex chromosomal orders, and left or right eye dominance is another Wooden aspect.  Currently, one of the most intense and noticeable foci of their Wood Elemental is sexual and gender identity. 

Thus all persons who are Albino are united under Wooden Albino Tribe banner in a similar manner to a group of people who share the same religion, language, or nationality.  Usually when Albinos meet other Albinos of different races and political sections, they instantly have a connection that others outside the Albino Tribe will never ever understand, the same goes for people of certain genetic conditions like being a dwarf.  


In a way Wood unites peoples across borders, different faiths, blood lines, and languages.  The Gay Pride Flag is perhaps the most known flag of a Wooden nature.

那麼,古代元素是什麼? 世界的一半包括地球、空氣、火和水,而另一半則考慮地球、火、水、金屬和木材。 這完全取決於你成長於哪種文化。 但是,由於世界基本上是一個大城市,是時候將古代元素概念與現代觀相協調了。

基本上,遵循西羅馬占星術的文化使用四個元素,而沿襲東西方占星術的文化則提出了五個要素。 東部和西部十二生肖都同意三個原始元素:火、水和地球。  不同的是,東方有一個類別的金屬和木材,而西方沒有。 然而,西方有一個空氣類別,而東方沒有。

一種理論認為,西方頭腦知道物質可能以不同形式存在:固體、液體、氣體和等離子體。 因此,從某種意義上說,早期的西方元素模型對物質的不同狀態有初步的瞭解:固體-地球、液態水、氣-空氣、等離子體-火。

同樣,在東方,人們也理解了關於問題的另一個基本方面。 中國古代思想家認為,物質可以分為金屬或非金屬,其木材和金屬分類。 木材主要由非金屬物質組成,如:碳、氧、氮、磷、硫等。而絕大多數其他原子是金屬。 甚至有幾個跨越線像矽和硒是'Trans]可以這麼說。

但他的帖子是關於古代的木材元素。 木元素的現代標誌是綠色,棕色和淺綠色的垂直三欄。

由於木材由有機原子項目組成,它代表了大量的個人身份特徵,這些特徵自然地獨立于宗教、種族或語言。  例如,左手或右手屬於木元素框架。 作為一個雙胞胎,白化,矮人,或超高是木身份。 幾乎所有的遺傳/先天性疾病陽性和陰性都是木制身份。 一性也是一種木質特質。 這裡有木身份的長洗衣清單:十二生肖標誌(東方和西方),你出生的地方,能夠看到或看不到顏色,花生過敏,任何類型的食物/藥物過敏,和被輪椅綁定。 

因此,所有阿爾比諾人作為某個部落在"木元素"概念下團結在一起,其方式與同一宗教、語言或國籍的一群人相似。 通常,當阿爾比諾斯遇到其他不同種族和政治階層的白化州人時,他們立即有了阿爾比諾部落以外的其他人永遠無法理解的聯繫。
