4 element history

It developed from the simple materialist philosophy theory of ancient Greece. The Pythagorean school put forward the primitive four elements, which they thought were composed of earth, water, gas and fire. Later this theory was carried forward by Aristotle. In ancient times, the four elements were an attempt for people to understand nature. Now, the four elements in tarot cards tend to be more symbolic, spiritual than simple materialism, and more material. Well, the theory of four elements is equivalent to the theoretical basis of western mysticism.
