Mungo Zhangruibo is a final year PhD student at De Montfort Univeristy. His research, CHEARS, focus on the Electroacoustic Music Study, also well-known as Music and Technology, which consists of the translation and adaptation of terminology from English with its alphabet to Chinese and its pictograms, or the other way around. Having taken the terminology research as the basis, he is also trying to introduce a classification system interacting with the Western and the Eastern method. For example, Taxomony vs. the Five Elements: the methodology is traced back to Aristotle in Greece and the Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth in Chinese culture originally.

*Folksonomy: "The Five Elemental Energies of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water encompass all the myriad phenomena of nature. It is a paradigm that applies equally to humans." (Source: The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine in 2nd century BC)

Flavours (Tastes in Chinese food)
In traditional Chinese philosophy, the Five Elements theory can be applied to everything and is used to describe interactions and relationships between phenomena in the universe. This theory is actually fundamental to the Chinese health care system and the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine.
sour to the liver
bitter to the heart
sweet to the spleen
spicy to the lungs
salty to the kidneys
Sour wood-energy foods are prescribed for weak livers but not advised for overactive livers.
Spicy metal-energy foods stimulate the lungs and large intestine.
Salty water-energy foods have a diuretic effect on the kidneys and bladder.
