When Mao Wood is strong and Chen Earth is weak, Mao Wood shows its firm side, like a wooden stake driven into a dam. Chen Earth is damaged, and Mao Wood also loses some of its sharpness. At the same time, Mao Wood can make Chen Earth more solid to a certain degree, so the result is that both Chen Earth and Mao Wood are harmed.
When Mao Wood is weak and Chen Earth is strong, Mao Wood behaves more like a vine, attaching itself to Chen Earth. Chen Earth is basically not harmed and can provide soil for Mao Wood to cling to. If Chen Earth is too strong, has a stronger water quality, and Mao Wood has shallow root energy, the root of Mao Wood can be damaged. In this case, the result is mainly unfavorable to Mao Wood.
