In the ancient 5-Element theory, Spring relates to the Wood element, which comprises the Liver and Gall Bladder meridians.
The Gall Bladder assists the Liver in maintaining the standards the Liver sets for the body. It can be likened to the executive officer to the general (Liver) whose responsibility is to implement the general’s orders.
