1. The five elements are five ways of movement

The 'five elements' in the five elements are the five ways of movement, and the line is the meaning of movement, the five elements are born and destroyed, and the world evolves.

The five ways are,

Gold: represents stability, convergence;

Wood: represents vitality, germination;

Water: represents soft, flowing;

Fire: represents consumption, outbreak;

Soil: represents bearing, acceptance.

It can also be said to be the five elements of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith.

The five elements are in opposition, and the five elements are in harmony

The five elements have 'five elements of mutual growth' and 'five elements of mutual restraint'. 'The five elements are born together' means to prosper each other. It means generative education, and the 'five elements are mutually refutable, fighting, and balancing.

in the five elements. The only thing that has vitality is wood, and life needs to be moistened by water to grow, so "aquatic wood". The earliest artificial fire obtained by human beings was to drill wood to make fire, so "wood makes fire", life lies in movement, and the process of life movement is also the process of energy release, that is, the generation process of fire. "Fire is said to be on the fire" refers to the release of energy, and when the energy is exhausted, life also comes to an end. Only a pile of ashes remains, and life is reduced to a handful of loess, so "fire gives birth to earth". The soil is neutral, it is the turning point of upward, extroverted, and expanded to the extreme, and contains the power of fame, as well as downward, slaughtering, and convergence, so it is "native gold". "Gold gives birth to water", the ancients believed that the earth hides gas, and the air rises into clouds and falls into rain. This is the cyclical state of aquatic wood→ wood for fire→ fire for earth→ earth for gold→ gold for water.

2. The five elements of yin and yang

In the whole change of yin and yang movement, there are also two states of yin and yang equilibrium. The spring and autumn equinoxes in the changing seasons of the year are the most direct examples in life. In order to express yin and yang more concisely and clearly, the ancients replaced the state of yin and yang in the law of yin and yang change with the image of "wood", the double yang limit state with the image of "fire", and the yang and yin state with the image of "gold". The image of "water" was used instead of the limit state of heavy yin, and the state of balance of yin and yang was replaced by the image of "earth", so that the five substances of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were produced. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five different states of existence in the process of yin and yang movement. It is both dynamic and relatively static. Zhang Jingyue said in "Similar Classics Tuyi" that "the five elements are the quality of yin and yang, and yin and yang are the qi of the five elements." Qi is not qualitative, and quality is not qi. Those who do it, so they do the qi of yin and yang", this sentence is also heaven-breaking. The five elements are the product of the interaction between yin and yang, and yin and yang are the driving force behind the change of the five elements.

(1) Smooth birth and reverse restraint

In traditional Chinese medicine, if the qi is good, all diseases will be eliminated, and if the qi is reversed, all diseases will be born. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the order of nature, 1234, the order of numbers, is in line with the laws of nature, so it is born in accordance with the laws of nature, and if it violates the laws of nature, it will die, so it is very simple, so the ancients said: the road is simple. Gold, wood, water and fire, spring, summer, autumn and winter are all qi, from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, the flow of qi, the laws of nature, can not be violated, and if it is violated, it will destroy itself. It should also be understood here. Shunsheng, from spring to summer, so wood makes fire, from autumn to winter, so gold gives birth to water, from summer to autumn, is it fire to gold? No, from spring to summer, the yang energy gradually rises, and from autumn to winter, the yin energy gradually rises and falls. The yang ascends, the yin descends, and there are many examples of nature. Lifting is in line with the theory of yin and yang, rising to yang, descending to yin, so yang on yin and down, by extension, male and female, natural position, don't say that even male yang and female yin don't know, then it's not right if it's female and male down, hey, it's a formalism again, yin and yang are two qi, not a form, the flow of qi, unpredictable, only the trajectory can be found, yin and yang are so simple to be right, men and women, or women and men, but the two forms of yin and yang flow,

From summer to autumn, because there is an anode and yin, the cathode and yang, yin and yang conversion, so it is not possible to fire to produce gold, but there is a hub of intermediate conversion, the name is the earth, the soil is in the middle, so far the five elements are complete, it can be seen that the anode and the yin, the yin and the yang, is not to say that the change is changing, but there is a process of change, this process is very easy to understand, because the fire is the sun, what becomes the beginning of the yin, but the next gold is less yin, not the beginning of the yin, from the beginning of the yin to the less yin, there must be a process, so the first fire gives birth to the earth, the soil regenerates gold, and it is from the yang to the yin, The yang is born, and the yin is dead, the yang is the main advance, the yin is the main retreat, the main yang is obeyed, and the main yin is reversed, so from fire to gold there is fire to earth, and the earth is born of gold, and from water to wood, only water is born of wood, and there is no transfer of intermediate soil. Fire turns into gold, thanks to the work of the earth, yang becomes yin, the original is reversed, because there is soil, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, shun is born, yin becomes yang, it is originally shun, so water is wood. This is the principle of the five elements, and the principle that the five elements restrain each other.
