also some other east asian languages refer to days of the week based on the five "elements" (wuxing) plus yin and yang

where each of those is associated with a planet. i think that's neat

  • Sunday | Sun | Yang
  • Monday | Moon | Yin
  • Tuesday | Mars | Fire
  • Wednesday | Mercury | Water
  • Thursday | Jupiter | Wood
  • Friday | Venus | Metal
  • Saturday | Saturn | Earth

  • fire 火

  • water 水

  • wood 木

  • metal 金

  • earth 土

  • Tuesday 火曜日

  • Wednesday 水曜日

  • Thursday 木曜日

  • Friday 金曜日

  • Saturday 土曜日
