The color associated with Wood is green. Wood's lucky numbers are 3 and 4. The role of Wood in the creative cycle according to Master Lam Kam Chuen's Feng Shui Handbook.
Wood is the child of water. The regenerative capacity of Water energy conserves, transforms, and gives birth to the creative, expanding force of Wood energy. (34)
Master Lam Kam Chuen continues to say about the role of Wood in the control or destructive cycle.
Wood controls Earth. The movement of Earth energy is prevented from closing in on itself or slowing to a stop by the influence of the expanding, growing energy of Wood. If the Wood is weak, Earth becomes sluggish. If Wood is too strong, it disturbs Earth. (35)
