Why the five elements

There are several parts to this project that are of interest. I've decided to use the five elements to describe each response. The five elements are: water, wood, fire, earth and metal. Together they are the building blocks of life.

Water --> CBC--> Believes that he/she is half Chinese; half Canadian (black/blue)
[this element reflects adventure and exploration. It is relaxing and calming. Black is not a color- it is a lack or absence of color. However, when melted with another element it signifies a fusion of power.]

Fire --> Canadian (red)
[this element is signified by the color red, which denotes, happiness, prosperity. It is the color like fire that produces heat and warmth. When combined with other elements; it adds to it by producing comfort."

Earth --> Chinese (yellow)
[this element represents a connection to the roots. Yellow is the national color of old China, sacred to the emperor and assumed only by him and his sons or the lineal descendants of his family. This element represents balance and when combined with other elements provides a sense of groundedness and connection to the roots.]
--------------------------------
Wood --> Writes/Comprehends Chinese (blue)
[This element is the shelter element. Blue is a color that signifies tranquility; reflects love; heals and relaxes.When combined with other elements this element will overpower by providing a homey feeling of comfort.]

Metal --> Does not comprehend/write Chinese (White)
[Metal helps hold water and is created by the Earth. White signifies purity and honesty. When combined with other elements; metal creates balance and harmony.]

Each person's response, would then be a combination of one from each of the two categories above. Their responses are printed on the side of the bottles, and the colors are mixed from the two elements.
