Bing fire has great power, because Bing fire restrains Jia wood, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other.
Chinese five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
1. Origin of the Five Elements:
When heaven and earth are not divided, it is called a state of chaos. Heaven, earth, heaven and earth are mixed together, the sun, moon and stars are not formed, day and night, cold and heat do not alternate, there are no wind, rain, thunder and lightning above, there are no vegetation, mountains, rivers, people, birds, insects and beasts below.
At this time, a spiritual energy was entangled and moving inside, so water was born from Taiyi, fire was born from Taichu, wood was born from Taishi, gold was born from Taisu, and gold was born from Taisu. Tai Chi is born and unearthed. The five elements come from this. Since then, heaven, earth and people have developed in their own ways.
2. The five elements are interdependent:
If the sky had no soil, it would not be able to cover the earth; if the earth had no soil, it would not be able to sustain all things on the earth, and grains would have nowhere to grow; if humans were Without soil, there would be no natural reproduction and the five permanent elements would not be established. Therefore, heaven, earth and humans cannot be without soil.
If wood has no soil, it will lose the power of cultivation; if fire has no soil, it will not be able to shine in all directions; if metal has no soil, it will be difficult to exert sharp energy; if water has no soil, it will not be able to flow out in all directions through the terrain. If earth has no water and no wood, it cannot grow and support all living things; if there is no fire and no metal, it cannot reproduce. This is the indispensable principle of the Five Elements, and the Five Elements are built from this.
3. The five elements correspond to the human body:
Anyone with blood and energy must use yin and yang to establish the nature and the five elements to form the shape. In the body, it is composed of wood bones, metal tendons, earth muscles, wood blood, and fire energy, which are the symbols of the five things. The reality of the five things is that each has its own benefit.
The substances in the world can be divided into five categories: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The five substances correspond to the five colors, green, red, yellow, white, and black, which are reflected in the human body and mind. Corresponds to sadness, panic, joy, crying, and illness.
Among the five elements, wood, fire, metal, and water each govern a season. For example, spring is the growth period of vegetation, so wood is the most prosperous, which is the king. The fire generated by wood is the second most prosperous, which is the phase, and metal It is in a state of imprisonment, because the second most prosperous fire restrains it, the earth restrained by the most prosperous wood and the water consumed by the birth of wood are in a dead place.
By analogy, the colors corresponding to the five elements are also the same as the state of the human body and mind: blue (sadness), red (fear), white (crying), black and yellow ( disease, celebration) death. All these five colors are judged by the four seasons. If the time and color are obtained, the king and phase will be auspicious. If the time and color are not obtained, the king and phase will be average, and the prisoner will be unlucky.
That is to say, the colors corresponding to the five elements and the corresponding physical and mental state of the person will also show different states as the seasons dominated by the five elements change. These five colors match the seasons. If the complexion matches the king color of this season, it will be smoother and more auspicious. If the complexion does not match the king color of this season but matches the prison color, it will be unlucky. If the complexion matches the death color, it will be unlucky. If they match, it will be very bad.
