Metal is the child of Earth. It is out of the action of the Earth energy that the contracting movement of Metal is born. If Metal energy is weak, it may be because it is not being nourished by its parent, Earth. (35)
Master Lam Kam Chuen continues to say about the role of Metal in the control or destructive cycle.
Metal controls Wood. The outward-moving energy of Wood is balanced by the opposite, contracting, and inward movement of Metal. If Metal is weak, the effect of Wood may become excessive. If Metal is overpowering, it may harm Wood. (35)
