About Wu Xing Calculator
Discover the story behind our project and our mission to share traditional Chinese wisdom with the world.
Our Mission
The Chinese Wu Xing Calculator was created to make traditional Chinese wisdom accessible to everyone. We believe that the ancient concept of the Five Elements (Wu Xing) offers valuable insights into understanding ourselves and the world around us.
Our mission is to bridge Eastern and Western perspectives by presenting the Wu Xing theory in a modern, user-friendly format. We aim to help people discover their elemental attributes and understand how these energies might influence their lives, relationships, and well-being.
While we present this information with respect for its cultural origins, we also recognize that the Wu Xing Calculator is primarily for educational and entertainment purposes. We encourage users to approach these insights with an open mind and critical thinking.

Our Approach
We've taken great care to present the Wu Xing theory in a way that respects its cultural origins while making it accessible to a global audience. Our calculations are based on traditional methods, adapted for clarity and ease of use.
The Wu Xing Calculator uses your birth date to determine your year element and date element, providing insights into different aspects of your personality and tendencies. We also analyze the relationship between these elements to offer a more nuanced understanding.
While we strive for accuracy, we acknowledge that different schools of thought within Chinese philosophy may have varying interpretations of Wu Xing theory. Our approach aims to present the most widely accepted principles while acknowledging the rich diversity of this ancient wisdom.
