Alongside wood, fire, earth and water, metal is one of the 5 elements/phases of change. The character Jin / metal means gold and represents something desirable for people.
For this reason, it expresses human desire and vanity. Metal is highly structured and hard, it represents assertiveness and organizational talent. The element metal is the symbol of money and effectiveness par excellence. It is something that likes to be hidden. It is hidden underground in nature and in order to enjoy its qualities it must first be brought to light. Yang metal is the ore in the ground that has to be unearthed through hard work. Yin metal is the fine, already worked metal that serves as an instrument or ornament for people and can therefore be harnessed. Metal is the transformation phase in which fire and water meet peacefully. If you heat the metal, it changes, it deforms like water. Left to itself, it is rigid and cold. Metal thus symbolizes rigidity and loyalty to principle, and its determination can be helpful on the one hand, but can also become a threat on the other. It has a deep affection for the transformation phase fire. Metal can only be harnessed with the help of fire. Metal is also a symbol of cooperation and system building.
