Water is the child of Metal. The descending energy of Water condenses out of the contracting and inward movement of energy symbolized by Metal. (34)

Master Lam Kam Chuen continues to say about the role of Water in the control or destructive cycle.

Water controls Fire. The upward rush of Fire energy is balanced by the opposite downward pull of water. If Water energy is weak, Fire blazes up. If Water is too strong, it may extinguish Fire. (35)
