Due to the complexity of Chinese characters, since ancient times, there has been no final conclusion and no standard about the attributes of the five elements of Chinese characters. This is correct, because Yi is changing, and Chinese characters are constantly evolving and evolving. The meaning of a Chinese character is the soul of a Chinese character. Therefore, to correctly define the five elements of a Chinese character, you must first observe its meaning, that is, the meaning of the character, and then combine it with the radicals. Let’s analyze it first. In addition, analyzing traditional Chinese characters and traditional radicals is also a method.
Inappropriate ways to define the five elements of Chinese characters: based on strokes, based on pronunciation, relying solely on radicals, these are all wrong ways to define the five elements of Chinese characters.
In addition, some Chinese characters not only have one type of five-element attribute, but also have multiple five-element attributes.
After we understand the basic attributes of the five elements, it is actually very simple to define the five elements of Chinese characters:
Wood: gentleness, kindness, uprightness; represents Chinese characters : Lin, Yi, Liang, Shan; representative radical: wood, 艹.
Fire: bright, glowing, swaying; represents Chinese characters: 煜, 光, 光, 明; represents radicals: 日,火.
Tu: Accommodating, carrying, and stabilizing; representative Chinese characters: Kun, An, Tang, and Sheng; representative radicals: soil, mountain.
Gold: hard, strong, killing; representative Chinese characters: Gang, Jun, Li, Feng; representative radicals: 钅, 刂.
Water: Wisdom, coldness, flow. Representative Chinese characters: Run, Lin, Hai, Quan; Representative radicals: 氵, rain.
Example 1: What are the five elements of the word Jie?
Many people think that the five elements of the character Jie belong to wood because there is wood in the character Jie, but this understanding is biased. The four dots of water under the character Jie are evolved from the character fire. The upper part of the character Jie is wood. Wood produces fire, and fire is stronger than wood. Therefore, the main five elements of the character Jie belong to fire, and the second five elements belong to wood. The meaning of the word Jie is outstanding, outstanding, outstanding, etc. It is also the upward and bright characteristic of fire in the five elements.
Example 2: What are the five elements of the word Rong?
The prefix "艹" has the radical "wood", and the five elements of "rong" must be wood, right? No, the main meanings of the word "Rong" include glory, prosperity, prosperity, glory, etc. These are the attributes of fire in the five elements. In addition, the traditional Chinese character for Rong is "Rong", and there are two fire characters on the head, which combines the meanings of the characters. Therefore, "Rong" is a Chinese character for fire that contains wood. Because wood generates fire, the character "Rong" as a whole is full of fire.
Example 3: What are the five elements of Bang?
The original meaning of state is the feudal state of ancient princes. The radical is 阝, and on the right side is the right ear knife. Youerdao is derived from the word Yi (y), which is related to city. Therefore, the original meaning of the word Youerdao is mostly related to town and place names, such as capital, suburb, state, county, Guo, Zheng, etc. Judging from the meaning of the radical, the Chinese character beside "阝" mainly has five elements: earth.
Based on the analysis of the meaning and radicals of the word, the five elements of the word "Bang" are undoubtedly "earth". When used in names, it mainly means ambitious, mature and steady, steady and steady, wealthy and happy, virtuous and shining.
In addition, the five elements of Chinese characters are divided into strong and weak ones, so you should pay attention to this. For example: the five elements of river, river, lake, sea, ocean and spring are all water, but they are divided into strong and weak, big and small. Don’t blindly replenish water after hearing that the fate is short of water. It also depends on the size of the water, whether the baby’s fate is suitable, etc.
