Traditional Chinese medicine uses them to metaphorically describe the connections between physiology (including organ and tissue pathology) and the environment, the natural elements.
They are in perpetual interaction, acting on each other, both in creative cycles (production, generation) and restrictive cycles (submission, subjection); these 2 types of interaction are represented by the arrows giving the shape of a pentagram (restrictive cycle) and the shape of a pentagon (creative cycle).
