Hello, the Five Elements is a systematic view of ancient Chinese philosophy, which is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, horoscopes, numerology, physiognomy and divination. The meaning of the five elements encompasses the five basic dynamics through the evolution process of yin and yang: metal (representing gathering), wood (representing growth), water (representing infiltration), fire (representing destruction), and earth (representing fusion). Ancient Chinese philosophers used the Five Elements Theory to explain the formation and interrelationship of all things in the world. It emphasizes the whole and aims to describe the movement form and transformation relationship of things. Yin and Yang are the ancient theory of the unity of opposites, and the Five Elements are the original system theory.
Nowadays, many people choose names based on the five elements. There is not much scientific basis. They just follow traditional cultural concepts and choose a psychological comfort.
