The five elements of horse belong to fire, and the five elements of dry divination belong to gold. Why is the animal represented by Gangua a horse?

The five elements of horse belong to fire because the corresponding zodiac sign is noon, which belongs to yin fire among the twelve branches of earth and is not remitted to the Southern Fire Bureau at noon.

The reason is complicated. We can make a simple understanding from the symbolic meaning of hexagrams. When hexagrams symbolize animals, they represent horses, because the nature of hexagrams is vigorous (the nature of hexagrams is strong, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement). A horse is an animal that travels thousands of miles every day, which fits this attribute very well.

The Book of Changes: dry for the sky, round, monarch, father, jade, gold, cold, ice, scarlet, good horse, old horse, barren [jí] horse, barge horse and wood fruit.

But in the same way, other hexagrams can also represent horses, such as: earthquakes are good for singing horses; Kan Mei Wei Ma Ji, etc. ..........

Therefore, hexagrams have many symbolic meanings. You can read Zhouyi if you are interested, so you are a horse among elephants. It belongs to gold in the five elements because the nine palaces and eight diagrams in the west and northwest belong to gold, the dry palace is in the northwest and the exchange palace is in the west. The acquired gossip divination belongs to gold.

To sum up: dry for gold, for horses; Does not conflict with Ma Wuxing's fire. Because the two meanings you said are not in the same use category. Only by comprehensively applying the realm of five elements and the realm of gossip can the accuracy be improved.
