Chapter 58: Unlocking
Looking at the wooden door in front of me, I not only remembered the five elements, but the flame symbol on it must be the fire in the five elements. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I saw this, I hurriedly asked the rest of them, "Do you see if there are any signs on the other doors?" ”
Qianyu was the first to reply, and she said, "There is a wood-shaped pattern here, like wood in the five elements. ”
Then the second uncle on the right said: "There is a dripping water-shaped pattern here, maybe it is the water in the five elements." ”
Soon the old lady and Li Yahong also came to answer, which were the sign of gold and the sign of earth, but soon Abu complained: "But there are locks on this door, and this wooden door looks too thick to be smashed at all, and Ji Ming can't open so many wooden doors with that key." ”
After hearing this, the master replied lightly: "One handful is enough!" ”
"Master, you mean that this key can open all the wooden doors?" I asked back.
"Yes." The master said affirmatively.
As soon as I heard it, I was shocked, if there is nothing wrong with the inside of the five-element wooden door, it may have something to do with the five-element disc, but I must understand the simple meaning of the five elements.
First of all, the Five Elements is a systematic view of ancient Chinese Taoism, which is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, kanyu, numerology, physiognomy and divination.
The meaning of the five elements is also very complex, encompassing the five basic dynamics of the evolution process of yin and yang, the first is water, which represents runxia, which of course also includes the direction, the second is fire, which represents the flame, the third is gold, which represents convergence, the fourth is wood represents stretching, and finally the earth, which represents neutralization, which is all-encompassing, and cannot be explained clearly in half a sentence.
Many ancient Chinese philosophers used the Five Elements Theory to explain the formation of all things in the world and their interrelationships. It emphasizes the whole and aims to describe the form of movement of things as well as the transformational relationships. Yin and Yang is the ancient doctrine of the unity of opposites, and the five elements are the original system theory, so the wooden door in front of us may have a craftsman who used the five elements to make a different design.
There are also relevant records in many classics, among which there are five basic elements in the "Willing Oath" and "Hong Fan" of the "Book of Shang", which are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
He mainly talks about the formation of all things and their interrelationships.
Moreover, the history of the Five Elements is also very long, and the legend first appeared in the doctrine of Huang Lao and Taoism, which aims to describe the form of movement and transformation of things.
However, the Five Elements Theory is the ancient theory of taking images and analogies in our country, not the five elements, but the five items of all things according to the nature of Runxia, Yanshang, Quzhi, Congleather, and Crops to the five items of water, fire, wood, gold, and earth, which is different from the four elements of the ancient Western earth, water, fire, and wind, and it is not surprising that it is a collection of philosophy, fortune telling, calendar, Chinese medicine, sociology and many other theories used in the tomb.
Of course, the five elements refer to the ancients' division of all things in the universe into five natures, that is, into five categories: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and called them the "five elements".
The earliest record in "Shangshu Hongfan": "Five elements: one is water, two is fire, three is wood, four is gold, and five is earth. The water is said to be moist, the fire is said to be hot, the wood is said to be straight, the gold is said to be from the leather, and the soil is said to be cropped. Moisten the bottom for salty, the flame for bitterness, straight for sour, from leather for bitterness, grain for sweetness. Here not only is everything in the universe classified, but the properties and characteristics of each class are defined.
Later, according to the understanding of the five elements, later generations created the theory of mutual growth and restraint of the five elements, which is mainly embodied in the law of "five elements and restraint", which describes the life plan of people.
Symbiosis refers to the relationship between two types of things with different attributes that help each other and promote each other, specifically talking about wood giving birth to fire, fire giving birth to earth, earth giving birth to gold, gold giving birth to water, and water giving birth to wood.
The five elements are the opposite of the five elements, which means that the relationship between two different types of things belonging to the five elements is mutually restrained, specifically as follows: wood and earth, earth and water, water and fire, fire and gold, and gold and wood, and the order of these wooden doors is arranged according to the position of mutual growth and mutual restraint, because the wooden doors have connected lines, and perhaps there are other meanings.
I thought of the correspondence between the five elements and the eight trigrams, gold - corresponding to dry, exchange, first dry for the sky, exchange for Ze. Fire corresponds to detachment, and detachment is fire. Wood corresponds to earthquake, Xun, earthquake is thunder, Xun is wind. Water corresponds to kan, and kan is water. The soil corresponds to Gen, Kun, Gen is the mountain, and Kun is the earth.
Moreover, the correspondence between the five elements and the earthly branch is also very complicated, first of all, the earthly branch is triad: the son and the mouse, the Chen and the dragon, the Shen and the monkey and the water bureau, the Si and the snake, the unitary and the chicken, the ugly and the cow alloy bureau; , Yin and the tiger, the afternoon and the horse, the fire bureau with the dog; Hai and pigs, Mao and rabbits, not with sheep and wood.
In addition, it is the earthly branch of Liuhe, the son (rat) and the ugly (cow) are combined to turn into earth, Yin (tiger) and Hai (pig) are combined to turn into wood, Mao (rabbit) and 戌 (dog) are combined to turn into fire, Chen (dragon) and you (chicken) are combined to turn into gold, Si (snake) and Shen (monkey) are combined to turn into water, and Wu (horse) and Wei (sheep) are combined to turn into the sun and moon.
In addition, the relationship between the earthly branch and the five elements and directions:
Zi (rat) belongs to Yang Shui, northern; Hai (pig) belongs to **, the north, and the second uncle is out of the north in front of them.
Yin (tiger) belongs to Yangmu, Eastern; Mao (rabbit) belongs to Yin wood, the east, and the wooden door between Zhang Yuntian and the old lady is in the east, all because Li Yahong has already held the compass in his hand and tested the direction.
The second is the Yin Fire (snake), which belongs to the south; Noon (horse) belongs to the yang fire, the south, and the wooden door in front of me is the south.
Shen (monkey) belongs to Yangjin, Western; You (chicken) belongs to yin gold, in the west, in front of Qianyu is the so-called wooden door with metallic signs.
Finally, Chen (dragon) and 戌 (dog) belong to the yang soil, the Chinese side, the ugly (cow) and the Wei (sheep) belong to the yin soil, and the wooden door in front of them is such a wooden door, which is in the middle.
"You all pay attention, the lines in the middle of these wooden doors should be connected, I will see if I can open these wooden doors now." I said, and then I took the key out of my chest.
I could feel the old lady's nervousness, everyone was staring at my hand while I had put the key on the brass lock.
When I put the key inside the brass lock, there was no special reaction at first, until I twisted the key slightly, and suddenly with a pop, the copper lock suddenly fell from the wooden door to the ground.
"I'm open?" I asked, looking at the wooden door.
"Don't rush to open it yet, come and see if that key can open the wooden door over here!" Xiao Ye hurriedly said.
I answered, and hurriedly walked to the wooden door in front of the master, and at this time, Qianyu was also standing aside, it was a metal wooden door.
The master's statement is not wrong, this key actually opened the copper lock of this golden gate.
I then opened the other wooden doors.
