These are all broken marriages.
In the old days, local magicians also associated the zodiac with the five elements, which evolved into a phenomenon that the zodiac and the zodiac also shared each other. Such as "in general? This is recorded in the article on material potential. The five elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth. In ancient China, some people used these five common substances to explain the origin and changes of everything in the universe. It contains simple materialism.
The breakdown of marriage is only a small part of the eight characters, and it can't fully represent people's fate.
However, the alchemists mystified it and applied it metaphysically at will, resulting in many contradictory loopholes and vulgarization, thus becoming ruthless. In terms of the zodiac, because the twelve earthly branches belong to the five elements, that is, Yin and Mao belong to wood, four or five belong to fire, Chen, Wei, Xu and Ugly belong to earth, Shen and You belong to gold, and Hai and Zi belong to water. Therefore, there are five matching animal genera, namely, tiger and rabbit belong to wood, snake and horse belong to fire, dragon, sheep, dog and cow belong to soil, monkey and chicken belong to gold, and pig and mouse belong to water. Similarly, because there is a correlation between fire, water and earth in the five elements of golden wood, there is also a correlation between the zodiac. This relationship applies to all kinds of interpersonal relationships, so it is also used in marriage. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Chong opposed the idea of mutual restraint of the zodiac. "Water is better than fire. Why don't mice chase horses?" Jin Shengmu, why don't chickens peck rabbits? ..... soil wins water, why don't cattle and sheep kill tapirs, ... fire wins gold, why don't snakes eat macaques? "Finally, his conclusion is that" it is especially inappropriate to take the birds of the twelfth birthday as the effect and the insects of the five elements as the qi (gram). " However, the superstitious activities of local warlocks among the people did not stop because of the persuasion, persuasion and even refutation of a few atheists, Rainbow Chong. On the contrary, their activities are becoming more and more popular. Of course, the vulgarization of this superstitious activity is related to the ignorance of the people and the advocacy of the ruling class. Due to the oral nature and variability of folk culture inheritance, the principle of mutual restraint of the five elements in the later period of the zodiac is quite different from the original appearance in ancient times, and some taboo principles of the zodiac in marriage have long deviated from the original track and become unrecognizable. For example, in Lun Heng, "wood beats soil, so dogs, cattle and sheep are served by tigers. "If it is used to get married, it should be avoid cows, sheep and dogs, avoid sheep for cows and avoid tigers for dogs. But later, in some folk almanac lists of "good or bad marriage between men and women", tigers should not belong to cows, sheep and dogs, but only to monkeys and snakes. Strangely, all people who belong to cattle, sheep and dogs are attached to tigers. It can be seen that the subsequent zodiac signs are not the inheritance of the five elements, but the "synthetic facts" of various folk cultures. ?
