used namespaces

using System;

using YiJingFramework.FiveElements;

to get or convert elements

FiveElement wood = FiveElement.Wood;

_ = FiveElement.TryParse(" metal \t\n", out FiveElement metal);
_ = FiveElement.TryParse(" 木 \t\n", out _);
// case-insensitive and allows white spaces preceding and trailing.

FiveElement fire = (FiveElement)6;
// we don't suggest this, unless you are (de)serializing something.
// ...
// -2: 金 Metal
// -1: 水 Water
// 0: 木 Wood *
// 1: 火 Fire *
// 2: 土 Earth *
// 3: 金 Metal *
// 4: 水 Water *
// 5: 木 Wood
// 6: 火 Fire
// ...

Console.WriteLine($"{fire.ToString()} {(int)fire} OVERCOMES {metal} {(int)metal}!");
Console.WriteLine($"{fire.ToString("C")}克{metal:C}");
Console.WriteLine();
// Output: Fire 1 OVERCOMES Metal 3!
// 火克金

to use the relationship between elements

FiveElement water = wood.GetElement(FiveElementsRelationship.GeneratingMe);
// water generates wood.
Console.WriteLine($"fire to {water}: {water.GetRelationship(fire)}");
// water overcomes fire
// Output: fire to Water: OvercameByMe
