The five elements are in conflict with each other. The ancients believed that everything in the world is composed of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There is a relationship between these five elements. There is a restrictive relationship of mutual support and mutual restraint. When naming their children, many parents will choose the most suitable name based on the absence and strength of the five elements. Let’s take a look at the five elements mutual restraint and mutual support table. Table 1 of the mutual restraint and mutual development of the five elements
The five elements are mutually dependent: metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal.
Metal generates water - because the Qi of Shaoyin (gold Qi) is warm and flowing, metal depends on water, and forging gold can also turn into water, so metal generates water.
Aquatic trees—trees grow because the water is warm and moist, so aquatic trees grow.
Wood makes fire - because wood is warm in nature, fire is hidden in it, and it drills into the wood to make fire, so wood makes fire.
Fire generates earth - because fire is hot, it can burn wood. After the wood is burned, it turns into ashes. Ash is earth, so fire generates earth.
Gold is born from the soil - because gold needs to be hidden in the stone, attached to the mountain, moistened and nourished, and the soil is gathered into the mountain. If there is a mountain, the stone must be born, so gold is born from the soil.
The five elements are in conflict with each other: metal defeats wood, wood defeats earth, earth defeats water, water defeats fire, and fire defeats metal.
Jin overcomes wood - because metal-cast cutting tools can saw down trees. (Grass does not grow on land with mines)
Wood overcomes soil - because tree roots absorb nutrients from the soil to replenish their own use, the trees are strong, but if the soil is not replenished, it will naturally weaken.
Turtle overcomes water - because soil can waterproof. (Soldiers will block water and earth will cover them)
Water defeats fire - because fire is extinguished when it meets water.
Fire defeats metal - because fire can melt metal.
Mutually reinforcing and inhibiting each other, like yin and yang, are two inseparable aspects of things. Without birth, there would be no occurrence and growth of things; without restraint, there would be no way to maintain balance and coordination in the development and change of things. If there is no mutual generation, there will be no mutual restraint, and if there is no mutual restraint, there will be no mutual generation. This kind of restraint within the growth, growth within the restraint, opposite and mutual complementation, promote and maintain the normal growth, development and change of things.
The five elements are five different substances that exist in different states of time and space and have a certain amount of energy and movement. The "Xing" of the Five Elements means movement, and moving matter is bound to have a certain amount of energy. Therefore, the basic attributes of the Five Elements are movement and energy. In the process of external expansion of its energy field, there are opposite or opposite forces - —That is, the generation and suppression of the five elements.
The interaction between the five elements is realized in the form of expansion of the energy field. The mutual generation of the five elements means that one of the five elements strengthens and promotes the energy field of the other; the mutual restraint of the five elements means that the five elements One party weakens and inhibits the energy field of the other party. Therefore, the ancients’ understanding of the five elements was never mechanical. The movement of the five elements determines the relationship between the five elements, and the energy of the five elements determines the degree of generation, restraint, consumption and release of the five elements.

Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other
First: The terminology of the Five Elements:
(1: Yingyang 2: Dove candle represents gold) Metal (5: Xie Kui 6: Jie Zhen represents water) Water, (5: Xie Kui 6: Jie Zhen represents water) Water (3: Gu Yu 4: Rhino Ying represents wood) Wood,
(3: Gu Yu 4: Rhino Ying represents wood) Mu Sheng (7: Silk Tie 8: Wu Tie represents fire) Fire,
(7: Silk Tie 8: Mist Tie represents fire) Fire (9: Lai Zhu 0: Lai Yuan represents earth) Earth,
(9: Lai Zhu 0: Lai Yuan represents earth) Earth (1: Ying Yang 2: Jiu Zhu represents gold) gold.
Modern people’s understanding of the mutual development of the five elements
Metal produces water, because the most primitive water on the earth is transformed from the interior of the earth; water produces wood, because water irrigates trees, and trees Then you can thrive;
Mutual growth and mutual restraint
Wood makes fire, because fire uses wood as fuel material. When the wood burns out, the fire will automatically extinguish.
Fire produces earth, because after fire burns objects, the objects turn into ashes, and the ashes are soil;
Earth produces gold, because gold is contained in soil and stones and is smelted. Only then did the metals be extracted; Table 3 of the five elements' mutual restraint and mutual restraint
The five elements were named after the mutual restraint and restraint of the five elements
The five elements of the pronunciation of the name: metal, dental sound, wood, dental sound, water, labial sound, fire, tongue sound, earth sound, guttural sound
The five elements are auspicious
1. Two-character name: metal produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal
2. Three-character name: three-character name Water produces wood, produces fire, wood produces fire, earth produces earth, fire produces earth, produces metal, soil produces gold, water produces gold, water produces wood, water produces wood, wood, wood produces fire, wood produces fire, wood produces fire, fire, fire, earth, fire, earth, earth, earth, earth, metal, earth produces gold, gold, gold, water, gold, water.
The Five Elements Conquer each other
1. A two-character name, earth, water, water, fire. Fire, gold, metal, wood, wood, earth.
2. A three-character name, earth, conquers water. Water overcomes fire, water overcomes fire, metal, fire overcomes metal, wood, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water.
The name should not only pay attention to the auspiciousness and birth control of the pattern and mathematics, but also pay attention to the auspiciousness and birth control of the Chinese characters. But speaking from Chinese characters, Chinese characters are also composed of five elements. We have already told you about the mutual restraints of the five elements, such as earth restraining water, water restraining fire, etc. At this time, the five elements are more taboo, such as metal producing water, water producing wood, etc. At this time, the five elements are more promoted.
When choosing a name, you should not only pay attention to the auspiciousness of the pattern and mathematics, but also pay attention to the birth and restraint of the elements.
The five elements of Chinese characters are in conflict with each other, and sometimes this unhealthy factor lurks. For example, in the name of the song Song Xiaobo, Xiaodai Day belongs to fire, Bo Dai belongs to water, and water and fire are in conflict with each other. This is a factor that is not good for health.
So how to distinguish and define the five elements attributes of Chinese characters in names?
Some people use numbers to make the distinction: count the number of strokes of Chinese characters and determine the attributes of the five elements. For example: if the number is 1 or 2, it is considered to be wood; if it is 3 or 4, it is considered to be fire; if it is 5 or 6, it is considered to be earth; if it is 7 or 8, it is considered to be metal; if If it is 9 or 0, it is considered to be water.
Another method is to distinguish by radicals. This method is more scientific in principle, because Chinese characters are originally hieroglyphs. Those with fire belong to fire, those with water belong to water, and those with water belong to water. What is wood is wood, what is earth is earth, and what is gold is gold.
The first method of distinction is wrong. Let’s take a look at the two words water and wood as an example. For example, the word "水" is originally indisputably water, but because it has 4 strokes, it is considered to belong to "fire"; the word "wood" is originally indisputably wood, but because it has 4 strokes, it is also considered to belong to "fire". It belongs to "fire"; so it can be seen that this method of using the number of strokes of a single Chinese character to distinguish its five-element attributes is mostly wrong.
The second method is to follow people's science, but there is also a shortcoming in that it is easy to distinguish Chinese characters with radicals, but it is difficult to distinguish the five elements attributes of Chinese characters without radicals.
If it is a Chinese character without a radical, it is best to distinguish it according to its meaning. If it is a Chinese character with several radicals, it depends on which five elements are dominant and which five elements are secondary. After comparing the two types of five elements, we can then distinguish their primary and secondary, which can be divided into the primary five elements. With the next five elements, you cannot choose one of the five elements and ignore the role of the other five elements. The method of differentiation should not only refer to which radical the character belongs to, but also consider the actual or symbolic meaning of the character.
Another example is the word "Liang", which contains water, wood, and gold, because "knives" are generally made of metal. There are three types of five elements in one word. But its radical is wood, which is derived from water. In fact, it is also wood that has been processed by "knives and axes" and can be used as the material of pillars. Therefore, no matter whether there is water or gold in it, its original intention is still to use wood as the material. Lord, water is the second, and gold is the third.
A really good name. It must look beautiful and elegant, sound fresh and pleasant, and be easy to write.
