Fire (wuxing)

In Chinese philosophy, fire (Chinese: 火; pinyin: huǒ) is the second phase of Wu Xing.

Fire is yang in character. Its motion is expanding and its energy is fermenting, ripening and convective.

Fire is associated with Summer, the South and the planet Mars, the color red (associated with extreme luck), hot weather, daylight, and the Vermilion Bird (Zhu Que) in the Four Symbols.

There is debate based on the logic of fire, summer and the south as to whether feng shui should be changed for the southern hemisphere
