Basics 1, Yin Yang and Five Elements.
What is Yin and Yang? Yin and Yang are actually two sides of the same thing, and these two sides have a relationship of opposition, unity, mutual root, growth and decline, and transformation. For example, the time in our lives is divided into day and night, the space in our lives is divided into heaven and earth, the people in our lives are divided into men and women, etc. What are the five elements? The five elements are actually five different attributes of all things in the world, and we call these five different attributes gold, water, wood, fire, and earth respectively. There are two most basic relationships between the five elements, which are mutual generation and mutual restraint. . The relationship between yin and yang and the five elements is that the five elements are divided into yin and yang. For example, metal has yin metal and yang metal, water has yin water, yang water, etc. What needs to be emphasized here is that theoretically speaking, the Yin-Yang and the Five Elements encompass all things in the universe, including time, space, people, things, things, etc., both material and non-material. In other words, the Yin-Yang and the Five Elements are everywhere and omnipresent. , in this sense, if a person wants to achieve the so-called "jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements", I am afraid that the only way for a person to not exist in this universe is.
Basic 2: Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
Heavenly stems and earthly branches, referred to as stems and branches, are further refinements of all things in the world on the basis of yin and yang and the five elements. Among them, there are ten heavenly stems, namely A, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui; there are twelve earthly branches, namely Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao and Chen. , Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai. The main knowledge that must be mastered in learning the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches is: 1. Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are divided into Yin and Yang and the Five Elements; 2. The interrelationship between Heavenly Stems, the interrelationship between Earthly Branches, and the interrelationship between Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches; 3. The signs of Heavenly Stems , the signs of earthly branches, and the signs of stems and branches, that is, what the heavenly stems, earthly branches, and stems and branches represent respectively in time, space, people, things, things, as well as the material aspect and the non-material aspect.
Basic three, positioning of the ten gods.
The ten gods are actually the further deepening of the stems and branches in the horoscope prediction. The essence of the Ten Gods is the Ten Heavenly Stems, which re-divided the Heavenly Stems with the "Sun Lord" as the center. The day Lord is the day of the day, which is the representative of the owner of the horoscope, referred to as the Life Lord. The one whose birthday is ruled by the Sun is Zhengyin or Partial Yin; the one who is defeated by the Sun is the official or partial official; the person born with the Sun's Lord is the God of Cookery or the injured official; the person born with the Sun's ruler is Zhengwei or partial wealth. The five behaviors of the same type as the Sun's are equal and robbery. , there are ten situations in one, so they are called "Ten Gods". To learn knowledge about the Ten Gods, the most important thing is to master the images of the Ten Gods, that is, what the Ten Gods represent in time, space, people, things, things, as well as the material and non-material aspects.
Basic 4. The combination of birth, restraint and conflict.
The conflict between the stems and branches and the five elements embodies the exchange, concentration, and transformation of energy among all things in the world. Beginners to learn the horoscope only need to master the conflict between the stems, branches and the five elements. It is not required. Master things like punishment and harm, because the essence of punishment and harm is also a combination of birth, restraint and conflict. The combinations of heavenly stems include Jiaji combined with earth, Yigeng combined with alloy, Bingxin combined with water, Dingren combined with wood, Wugui combined with fire. The combinations of the earthly branches include Liuhe, namely Zichou combines with earth, Yinhai combines with wood, Maoxu combines with fire, Youchen combines with alloy, Sishen combines with water, and Wuwei combines with earth. Three combinations include Shenzichen combines with water, Yinwuxu combines with fire, and Haimaowei. Hemu and Siyouchou are alloyed together, and the three associations are that Yinmaochen meets wood, Siwuwei meets fire, Shenyouxu meets metal, and Haizichou meets water; the earthly branch clashes include Yinshen, Sihai, Ziwu, and Maoyou. Chou and Chou are not in conflict with each other, and Chen and Xu are in conflict with each other.
