A more literal translation would be five phases or five movements, so as not to lose the dynamic and transformational quality that it has in Chinese. This theory is applied to fields as diverse as music, traditional Chinese medicine, agriculture or Feng Shui.<\/p>\n
The five elements are: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. This theory describes the cycles of each generation, the domination and the balance between them.<\/p>\n
According to the generation cycle<\/strong> (also called the creation cycle):
\nthe wood feeds the fire.
\nthe fire, with its ashes, produces earth.
\nthe earth contains the minerals.
\nthe minerals nourish the water.
\nthe water gives life to the wood.<\/p>\nAccording to the domination cycle<\/strong> (also called the destruction star):
\nthe wood is nourished by the earth.
\nthe earth retains the water.
\nthe water puts out the fire.
\nthe fire melts the metal.
\nthe metal cuts the wood.<\/p>\nAccording to the balance cycle<\/strong> (also called compensation star):
\nbitter + sweet + salty, balances the bitterness.
\nsweet + spicy + acid, balances the sweetness.
\nspicy + salty + bitter, balances the spiciness.
\nsalty + sour + sweet, balances the saltiness.
\nacid + bitter + spicy, balances the acidity.<\/p>\nThe understanding of the seasons of the year at the agricultural level is very important, this is because a fifth season happens and is the transitional period between seasons lasting 18 days. This interpretation is much better suited to the viticultural reality that we face each growing season.<\/p>\n

It is also called the 5 phase theory because, according to Chinese tradition, these elements are related to each other in a cyclical way, in a certain order, but without a beginning or an end. Through this, each element becomes the next. In addition, each element is corresponds to a moment in life and certain emotions. This is what traditional Chinese medicine is based on in order to heal someone, to balance elements
\nand emotions. By learning about each element and how it relates to nature, you can learn how to renew your own balance.<\/p>\nFrom a technical point of view, agriculture operates based on two sciences; Trophobiosis (from the Greek trophos – food and biosis – vital use), which asserts that as long as a plant has nutritional balance, meaning, as long as there is no nutrient excess or deficiency, the plant will have excellent tools to defend itself against the attacks of pests and diseases.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, there is Allelopathy (from the Greek alleton – mutual and pathos – harm), which deals with the science studying the active principle of plants, and how these concepts generate a positive or negative effect on other living things and chiefly insects.<\/p>\n
In summary, agriculture is considered a balance management sequence, where the first must lead to the correct management of a plant\u2019s internal nutrition (what it obtains naturally plus how we artificially manage it by bringing in the necessary ecological microelements to the soil, which are not easily found), consciously applying our \u201ctrophobiosis theory\u201d and subsequently, the \u201cgeneration theory\u201d must be managed, to ensure the balance between the target crop and its neighbors, the companion plants; finally and in case the rest does not work or if there is some change or pest, the \u201cAllelopathy theory\u201d must be used, to find the correct balance between the target crop and the insects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_full_width=”true” thb_row_padding=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1490800868894{padding-top: 7vh !important;padding-bottom: 7vh !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}” el_class=”align-center”][vc_column][vc_row_inner thb_max_width=”max_width” el_class=”align-center”][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-9″]\t

\nCrollius, in 1608; and, from the current era, The Four Agreements in \u201cThe Four Agreements\u201d by Miguel Ruiz and \u201cThe 7 Laws of Nature\u201d by Luis Ardila.<\/p>\n
These ideals coincide by understanding the physiology of plants, because when they are balanced, they work with air, earth, water and fire (represented by the sun), to carry out their purposes: to be born, to grow, to reproduce and to die. This occurs completely naturally in forests and other areas not touched by humans.<\/p>\n
It is important to point out that nature is made up of energy and information; on the other side, Paracelsus explains that nature is formed by force and resistance and that it is the action of the second on the first, which allows nature to generate life. For practitioners of this type of agriculture, resistance corresponds to information as it serves nature to control the processes, as Paracelsus describes.<\/p>\n
Likewise, force corresponds to energy, which drives and maintains nature and all the beings that belong to its four Kingdoms. These concepts help to identify a specific idea: that the two qualities of consciousness are required to understand and work together with these process; these two qualities are attention and intention, which operate on energy and information, respectively.<\/p>\n
From all of this, the statement becomes clear and clearly shows agriculture from the \u201cfive elements theory\u201d, becoming a clear principle:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever we work with a living being in balance and carry out <\/strong>an operation, any action, on it, we bring that being out of balance, <\/strong>discovering through attention the elements that generate this <\/strong>imbalance; after that, we seek to restore its balance, with it being <\/strong>our clear intention, the need to return it to its most natural state\u201d.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row thb_full_width=”true” thb_row_padding=”true” full_height=”true” mouse_scroll=”true” el_class=”text-center align-center” css=”.vc_custom_1647304644777{background-image: url(https:\/\/cote.wine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/filosofia6.jpg?id=667) !important;}”][vc_column thb_color=”thb-light-column” offset=”vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-10″][vc_column_text] PHILOSOPHY Sometimes words are not able to express the message in a wine…[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”align-center” css=”.vc_custom_1490812464967{padding-top: 7vh !important;padding-bottom: 7vh !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-9″][vc_column_text el_class=”text-center”] … Wine according to COTE [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text] After traveling over a short but intense journey, we came to the conclusion…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1218,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cote.wine\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/1332"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cote.wine\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cote.wine\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cote.wine\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1332"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/cote.wine\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/1332\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1464,"href":"https:\/\/cote.wine\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/1332\/revisions\/1464"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cote.wine\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cote.wine\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cote.wine\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
