The classical relation

Six harmony

Favourable

The two branches form one of the six pairs that combine. The classical tradition sees a natural understanding in it, a bond that builds without effort.

These relations come from the tables of the classical Chinese tradition, which link the twelve earthly branches.

The five elements

WoodRabbit
restrains
EarthDog

The element of the Rabbit tempers that of the Dog: one keeps the other in check, fruitful while it stays respectful, heavy once it turns into control.

In the cycle of the five phases, each element nourishes another (Wood feeds Fire) and restrains another (Water restrains Fire).

YinRabbit
+
