The ancient greeks already thought of that when assigning qualities for the four elements (wich are from greek phylosophy, as oriental elements are five: water, wood, earth, fire and metal). There were three characteristics that made each element special and showed affinity towards another: dry/humid, hot/cold, dark/light

Air: humid, light, hot

Fire: dry, light, hot

Water: humid, dark, cold

Earth: dry, dark, cold
