Wood is one of the five elements of Chinese alchemy.
Wood's attributes are considered to be strength and flexibility, as with bamboo. It represents springtime when new growth sprouts from the earth. Its associated direction is east.
In Chinese medicine, wood is associated with feelings of anger or depression. Organs associated with this element are the liver (yin) and the gall bladder (yang).
