The reason why the five elements belong to gold is called wooden life is because in the eight-character numerology, the five elements belong to gold and represent their own money and material, and the five elements belong to wood and represent their own career and ability. Based on the interpretation and prediction of the attributes of the five elements, when there is more gold in the five elements, it is easy to have the characteristics of the five elements, including high emotional intelligence, good expression and strong communication skills. Therefore, some eight-character numerology believes that most people who belong to the five elements are also wooden.
In addition, this statement may also be related to the theory of heaven, earth and man in the Book of Changes. In the Book of Changes, the sky is yang, the earth is yin, and people are in the middle. The metallicity in the five elements is considered to represent human wealth. In this sense, the statement that the five elements of gold are mostly wood life is based on the comprehensive analysis of heaven, earth and people.
However, it should be noted that everyone's numerology is complex and cannot be simply summarized by five elements. Eight-character numerology is just a kind of traditional numerology, and it can't completely determine a person's fate.
