Names are codes that accompany us throughout our lives. A nice and meaningful name can influence the direction of future development. Many people pay special attention to the eight characters and five elements when naming their children, especially the older ones in the family. The elders are even more concerned about it, so what role do the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth play in the name? Details 01
What is the role of the Five Elements in naming when choosing a name?
If your name contains gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, it can increase your Five Elements content. Language itself has the ability to absorb, and thinking also relies on language. When your name is used by you and called by thousands of people, it constantly connects you with one of the five elements of nature, whether it is gold, wood, earth, water, or fire.
The five elements refer to water, fire, wood, metal and earth. The Five Elements Theory believes that the Five Elements are the basic material elements that make up the universe. Various materials in the universe can be classified according to the properties of these five basic materials. There is a certain connection between the Five Elements. Chinese medicine borrows the Five Elements theory to explain the relationship between the inside of the human body and the human body and the external environment to supplement the Yin and Yang theory.
The five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing each other, which means to breed, promote, and encourage each other; and mutual restraint, which means to restrict, inhibit, and overcome each other. 02
The law of the five elements is: wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood. The law of mutual restraint is: wood conquers earth, earth conquers water, water restrains fire, fire restrains metal, and metal restrains wood.
In the relationship of mutual generation, any "action" has two aspects: "beget me" (mother) and "I beget" (son), which can be compared to the relationship between "mother" and "son" relation. In the relationship of mutual restraint, any "action" has two aspects: "I overcome" (what is won) and "I overcome" (what is invincible), which is called the relationship between "what is won" and "what is not conquered".
Among the five elements, there is mutual restraint; among the mutual restraint, there is also mutual development. Mutual generation and mutual restraint are indispensable conditions for all things to maintain relative balance. Therefore, it is normal for the five elements to be restrained. If any one of the five elements is too high or too low, or abnormal phenomena occur, it can lead to changes that multiply or insult each other. Cheng means taking advantage of a weakness to invade; Ji means bullying. Multiplication is excessive mutual restraint, exceeding the degree of normal restriction. The law is the same as mutual restraint, but the restrained person is weaker. Xiangqing means "counter-inhibition", also known as counter-inflict, that is, what one can defeat originally is defeated by it instead. The law is exactly opposite to that of mutual restraint. For example, normally earth controls water, but if earth energy is weak or water evil is rampant, water will in turn overpower earth. 03
