SMTH 戊 Wu Earth
戊土洪蒙未判, 天地既分，厚载万物，聚于中央，散于四维。
Wu Earth exists before Hong Meng is judged (before heaven and earth separated), and after the heaven and earth separated, carries the load of ten thousands being, it gathers in the middle, disperses at the four borders.
在天为雾，在地为山，谓之阳土。
In heaven as mist, on earth as Mountain, is named Yang Earth.
其禄在巳，巳为炉冶之火，锻炼成器，叩之有声，其性刚猛，难以触犯。
It is t the stage of 'Lu' in Si, Si as the furnace of furnace and smelt, trained to become useful, knocked and it sounds, its behavior strong and ferocious, difficult to be offended.
喜阳火相生，畏阴金盗气。
Likes Yang fire to engender, fears Yin metal robs its Qi.
阳火者，丙火也，丙生于寅，寅属艮，艮为山，山为刚土，即戊土也，赖丙火而生焉。
Yang Fire is Bing Fire, Bing Fire is born at Yin, Yin belongs to Gen (8 Gua), Gen as mountain, Mountain as strong Earth, is Wu Earth, it relies to Bing Fire to be engendered.
至于酉地，酉属兑，金耗盗戊土之气，乃金盛土虚，母衰子旺，又金击石碎，岂能延寿？
And on You land, You belongs to Dui, Metal wastes and robs Wu Earth of its Qi, and when Metal is prosperous, earth is weak, mother is weak and child is prosperous, and also when metal hits rocks are broken, how can it live longer?
故戊土生于寅而死于酉。经云：土虚则崩。正此谓也。
Thus, Wu earth is born at Yin and dies at You, the classics says: Weak earth collapse, that is the meaning of this.
