Is it not true that Ancient Chinese Cosmology had 2 qualities for the 5 elements - BIG & Small?

As in BIG Fire, small Fire, BIG Metal, small metal, BIG Wood, small wood, BIG Earth, small earth and BIG Water and small water.

The interactions of ten characters is much more intricate and interesting than what has been expressed about five characters.

Of interest, the five characters can also represent a set of natural resources.
