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.

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.
