Knowing the elements in design is the chief requirements for a designer. With the deep research on elements, it becomes complicated, which makes it difficult for the designers. We need to find a way to make it simple. First of all, I made a comprehensive analysis on the elements to find the features and bring in `five elements balance´ theory to sort out it but not simply delete. More important, the research based on Chinese traditional philosophy can help the designer to get a clear understanding of the relationships among them. The research can serve better to the creative design.
