Let's explain heavenly stems and earthly branches's five elements: A and B are trees, representing C in the east, fire, E in the south, earth, Geng Xu and Jin in the center, benevolence in the west and stagnant water in the north. It is not so easy to see them, because there are often one, two or at most three heavenly stems in the soil branches. The above words, that is to say, the earthly branches are often composed of several elements. Let's talk about the topic of earthly support, that is, what the earthly support hides and what the five elements hide. Hiding in the shade: A, C, E, Mao: B, Chen: E, B, Gui: C, G, E, I didn't hide in the middle: I, D, B: G, N, E: Xin, Xin, Ding Hai. For example, if the strength of Yin is 100, then the strength ratio of A, C and E is about 60:25: 15, and A accounts for a large proportion, so A is called Yin's "vitality".
The reason is clear. Let's look at an example. Suppose a child's eight characters are: ugly, ugly. In fact, this person was born in the year of Wuzi, Jiaziyue, ugly day, ugly time is dry, that is, the dry day of ugly day "Xin" represents the child himself. The child's five elements belong to gold because Xin belongs to gold. Let's take a look at the five elements of four days' work: E, A, Xin and Ji. Check the list and you will know that they belong to earth, wood, gold and earth respectively. Let's look at the four branches: Zi, Zi, Ugliness and Ugliness. Look-up table 2: the child is only decyl. Look-up table 1 shows that decyl is water, so it belongs to water. What is hidden in ugliness is: self-confidence, which is soil and golden water respectively. Looking at the above four heavenly stems and earthly branches comprehensively, we can find that the only one of these branches lacks five elements of fire! Therefore, this eight-character five-line lacks fire!
