What does Wu Earth fear most?

Wood Overpowers Earth: Wood can restrain Earth. Therefore, the strongest threat to Wu Earth is strong wood. If the power of wood is too strong in the Eight Characters and there is not enough fire to neutralize it (fire can generate Earth), then Wu Earth will appear weak, which may negatively affect the person's fortune. For example, if Jia Wood or Yi Wood appears in the Eight Characters (especially when they are in a strong position) and there is no corresponding fire to balance them, it may put pressure on Wu Earth.

Water Drains Earth: Although it is not a direct restraining relationship, excessive water can also weaken Earth. Water can penetrate and take away nutrients from the soil, making the Earth loose and powerless. If the water force is strong in the Eight Characters and there is no metal to control the water (metal can generate water), it will also be unfavorable to Wu Earth.
