How to define the five elements of a Chinese character
According to the principles of Yixue, Chinese characters also exist (gold, wood, water, fire, Earth) Five Elements Attributes. The role of the Chinese characters Five Elements is mainly used to change names (names of people or companies). Usually, people usually analyze the birth owner’s horoscope and business projects, and then based on the horoscope of the person’s horoscope, Then use Chinese characters to correct errors and fill in the gaps when naming, so as to achieve as much satisfaction as possible. Therefore, correctly determining the five elements of a character is the most basic premise when naming. So, how to define the five elements of a Chinese character? ,
1. Number and Five Elements Definition Method
Currently the popular "Five-frame Numerology" naming method (Five-frame Counting Nomenclature) was developed by Mr. Takeo Kumazaki of Japan. It was founded at the beginning of the last century, which means that the five elements used in mathematics and nomenclature came from the East. The five elements in mathematics are: 1 and 2 are wood, 3 and 4 are fire, 5 and 6 are earth, 7 and 8 are gold, and 9 and 10 are water.
Some people think that as long as the Chinese characters with the above-mentioned stroke numbers are mistaken for the five elements of a certain character, they blindly look up the numbers and ignore the true meaning of the Chinese characters themselves, for example: soil is 3 paintings, wood is 3 4 paintings, simply deducing based on this logic, the five elements of "wood" and "earth" become "fire"... It is obvious that Mr. Kumazaki Kenou will not make such a stupid mistake. So many Chinese characters in China use such extremely simple logic to calculate and apply the Five Elements. It is obviously far-fetched and unreasonable. It is inconsistent with the profound meaning of the laws of nature and social development of the Yi Xue, let alone Takeo Kumazaki. Sir's intention. In fact, the Japanese Mr. Takeo Kumazaki who created the method of "five-frame counting nomenclature" also derived it based on the Chinese Book of Changes. The numbers he used here were originally intended to be calculated using the "five-frame mathematics" The overall "five-frame counting" of a name is: the five elements of numbers in the sky grid, the ground grid, the personality, the outer grid, and the total grid. That is to say, the "five elements" of the "five-frame counting" and the "five elements" of the Chinese characters themselves are each their own. What is used is not contradictory, and it is not using numbers to directly determine the five elements of the Chinese characters themselves. In short, in one sentence, the "five elements" of "five-frame counting" and the "five elements" of Chinese characters themselves must be used correctly and reasonably in order to come up with a qualified name.
[Note: my country’s traditional Feng Shui mathematics uses five elements: 1 for water, 2 for fire, 3 for wood, 4 for gold, 5 for earth, 6 for water, 7 for fire, and 8 for wood. , 9 is gold, 10 is earth; that is: 1, 6 is water, 2, 7 is fire, 3, 8 is wood, 4, 9 is gold, 5, 0 is earth]
2. How to define the five elements of radicals
In Chinese characters, the characters with grass next to wood belong to wood, the characters with gold or jade belong to gold, the characters with fire and sun belong to fire, and the characters with earth and mountain The character belongs to earth. This method mainly uses the radicals and radicals of Chinese characters to define the five elements of Chinese characters. This is in line with the meaning of the five elements of the Yi study, but it is still a little thin, because the reason why the Yi study is broad and profound is that for thousands of years, people have learned through the laws of nature and society. An empirical summary of the law of development. This law cannot be explained by a simple single method. The profound meaning of Yi Xue lies in this.
Disadvantages: According to this method, it is difficult to determine the five elements without these radical characters, such as: big, much, little, heaven, mother, view, long, straight, square, mysterious, heaven, Er, etc., it seems that this method is also very limited and is only suitable for those characters with strong radicals.
3. The method of defining the five elements of phonology
It is the five elements of phonology that are divided according to the pronunciation of Chinese characters.
Disadvantages: Very few people use it.
4. The method of defining the five elements by combining the meaning of the word with the radicals and radicals
For example, for the word "Li", some computer software measured the five elements as gold, while other software measured the five elements as wood. Some software measures water.
A common problem with the five elements of Chinese characters measured by computer software is that no matter what character there is, there is only one five element. Then we use the meaning of the Chinese character to analyze the five elements of the character "李": the character "李" has "木" above it, and its own meaning is " "Plum tree" is still wood, thus determining the main five lines of "Li" Zi as "wood", the lower half of the character "Li" as Zi, and Zi as Zi water, thus defining the secondary five lines of "Li" Zi as "water" ", therefore, the five elements of the word "Li" are finally defined as wood and water; another example is the word "dan". The word "dan" is a character with strong five elements in the radical part. One has three points of water and two points of fire. If the radical part is used, The first five elements of Chinese are used to define this Chinese character. The word "dan" is next to the word water, and the five elements are water. There is a certain reason to use this method for this character. However, the meaning of the word is used to define the five elements of the word "dan". "Although the word "water" is a word for fire, and it is one water and two fire, the word itself fire is greater than water, but the meaning of the word is mainly water, because we know that the word "dan" is usually understood as fresh water, and it is not said to be "light fire". The main function of "dilute" is to describe water. "Dilute" means changing from strong to "weak", that is, light. It can be seen that the main five elements of the word "light" are water, and the second five elements are fire, because it is water that weakens the fire. The word "light" is light, and the five elements of the word "light" contain fire. Therefore, the five elements that finally define the word "light" are water and fire. There are many words that are similar to the five elements that are incompatible. It can be seen that it is not very easy to change the name and use the five elements of Chinese characters to compensate for the five elements of the eight characters. It can be seen that it is relatively reasonable to define the five elements of Chinese characters based on their meanings and radicals.
5. The meaning of the five elements can be divided into strong and weak ones
The five elements meaning of the word can be divided into strong and weak ones, such as: river, river, lake, sea and ocean. The five elements are all water, but they are divided into strong and weak, big and small. Everyone needs to be clear about this. Don’t blindly replenish water after hearing that you are short of water in your Bazi. It also depends on the size of the water, whether your destiny is suitable, etc.
Through the above analysis, it seems that the five elements of a Chinese character are too difficult to determine. So how should we define the five elements of a Chinese character more reasonably? First of all, we need to understand the principle of root-seeking in doing things. Analyzing from the most fundamental point of things, most Chinese characters, especially commonly used characters for names, are composed of two or more radicals. This shows that a multi-radical character Chinese characters cannot be determined by one type of five elements. In the end, the key to determining the five elements of a character is based on the meaning of the word, because the sound and shape of Chinese characters come first, and the five elements come after. They are divided by the sound and shape of the character. Currently, almost no one uses Defining Five Elements because it is difficult to grasp the criteria. Therefore, the best way is to define the main five elements or the secondary five elements of a Chinese character based on the meaning of the Chinese character combined with the radicals.
