How does astrology classify people according to the five elements (wood, fire, earth, gold and water)?

Five lines of gossip is divided into Yin and Yang, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams.

Yin-yang theory contains simple dialectical thinking, which holds that everything has two contradictory aspects, which can be summarized as Yin and Yang respectively. For example: Shan Zhinan is Yang, and the north of the mountain is Yin; The north of the water is yang, and the south of the water is yin; The front of the leaf is yang, and the back of the leaf is yin; Male is yang, female is yin; The sun is yang, and the moon is also called lunar. Yin and Yang are transformed into each other, and they are endless. The graphic image that shows this rule is Taiji diagram. In the Taiji diagram, when Yang is at its peak, Yin has quietly appeared; At the darkest day, Yang has quietly appeared. The philosophy of ups and downs is still very profound.

The theory of five elements was summed up by the ancients from their life practice. They believe that everything in the world is composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which have different forms of expression in different things. For example, five colors: green, red, yellow, white and black; Five tones: horn, emblem, palace, business and feather; Five flavors: sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and salty; Five internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney; Five emotions: joy, joy, lust, anger and sadness; The five permanent members: benevolence, courtesy, faithfulness, righteousness and wisdom. The five contents of everything show the five elements of wood, fire, earth, gold and water respectively. The five elements have the order of generation, mutual generation and mutual control. Produce wood, fire, earth, gold and water; The order of mutual growth is: wood fire, fire born soil, native gold, gold born water, aquatic wood; The order of mutual recognition is: water can overcome fire, fire can overcome gold, Jin Kemu, Muketu and Tuke water. -this is the so-called mutual restraint of everything. The combination of Yin-Yang and Five Elements Theory became the theory of ancient people to explain various natural and life phenomena. Divination and fortune telling are activities to predict the future. In ancient times when productivity was low, it was more difficult to grasp personal destiny and want to know more. The theory of yin-yang and five elements is used to explain a person's fate. The so-called birthday is the year, month, day and time of birth expressed by heavenly stems and earthly branches. In the pre-Qin period, people only used heavenly stems and earthly branches to remember the days. Later, heavenly stems and earthly branches could be used to remember the days, months and days. There are ten days to work: A, B, C, D, E, G, Xin, Ren and Gui. There are twelve earthly branches: Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, Chen, Wu and Hai. The combination of the two can produce sixty units, which are called sixties. The year, month, day and time of that birth were combined by heaven and earth, and there were exactly eight words, so it was called a birth, and the fortuneteller also called it the four pillars of human beings. There are also five elements in a birthday. In the sky, A and B belong to wood, C and D belong to fire, E and E belong to soil, G and Xin belong to gold, and Ren and Gui belong to water. Among the twelve earthly branches, Yin and Mao belong to wood, four or five belong to fire, Shen and UAE belong to gold, Hai and Zi belong to water, and Chen, E and Ugliness are not earthy. In this way, according to the date of birth, you can know what is missing in your life. The ancients believed that fate would flourish only if the five elements were possessed. This is called divination.

The theory of gossip is that in ancient times, Tai Chi gave birth to two instruments, and two instruments gave birth to four images. The theory of "Tai Chi" in which four images give birth to gossip is a period when Yin and Yang are not separated and heaven and earth are chaotic. The' two instruments' are heaven and earth, such as the yin and yang fish in the' eight diagrams' soil, the white fish is yang and the snakehead is yin. The ancients compared yin-yang fish to the sun, the moon and the earth. The sun is yang, the moon is yin, the earth is yin, and yin and yang surround each other, indicating the intercourse of yin and yang. The ancients used four images to symbolize the four directions and the four seasons of the year. Gossip can be divided into "gossip about celestial bodies" and "gossip about human bodies". The human body is a system with complex structure and function, and it is impossible to determine the connotation and interface of the human body at present. The meaning of' human body gossip' is to reflect the body image of human body and the application of gossip in human body diagnosis. The most important thing here is the concept of harmony between man and nature. There are not only Tai Chi Yin and Yang holograms in the human body, but also' Eight Diagrams' holograms. The human body is a gossip, and every part is covered with small gossip holograms. No matter the eyes, umbilicus, ears, hands, feet, abdomen, tongue and pulse, there are eight diagrams holograms, which can be oriented through eight diagrams. Through' gossip', it embodies the relevance and integrity of the human body. The human body is also a big Tai Chi, and there are small Tai Chi in all parts. There are two taiji instruments in the brain, five internal organs and six internal organs. The human body is a large combination of yin and yang, and other parts are small combinations. The Eight Diagrams of Human Body Operation embodies the unified whole formed by man and the universe. Man's survival can not be separated from the natural environment endowed by the universe, and the movement changes between the universes are reflected in the human body. The universe and human body have mutual induction in their respective movements, which embodies the principle that heaven and man are integrated and medicine is easy to communicate through gossip. The 20-layer content of the whole map links the movement law of celestial bodies with the operation and changes of seven meridians and eight veins, meridians and acupoints, and diet health of the human body, forming a system of harmony between man and nature. This picture shows the exciting time and natural images of the twelve meridians, which is of practical value for guiding fitness, disease treatment and rehabilitation exercise, as well as for the research of time medicine, Yi medicine and top measurement medicine.

There are nine other colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. White and black are kindness, courtesy, credibility, loyalty, wisdom, courage and strength, as well as justice and evil.

"Wood" has the characteristics of hair growth and straightness. Wood is the main benevolence, straightforward and affectionate; (Wood magic can be derived from wind magic)

"Fire" is characterized by fever and upward movement. Fire is the main ritual, its impatience and its passion; (Fire Magic)

"Earth" has the characteristics of fertility and reproduction, and its owner thinks it is heavy in nature and affectionate. (Earth Magic)

"Jin" has the characteristics of silence and restraint, and is strong in gold doctrine and emotion; (Golden magic can be derived into thunder magic)

"Water" is cool and downward. Water is the master of wisdom, wisdom and kindness. (water magic)

The order of the five elements is: aquatic wood, wood is fire, fire is earth, earth is gold, and gold is water.

The order of the five elements is: water is like fire, fire is like gold, Jin Kemu, wood is like soil, and soil is like water.

Five elements and good and bad names

The five elements in China traditional culture refer to five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The ancients believed that everything in the world was composed of these five elements, and there were biochemical constraints between them. Generally speaking, when the five elements are in harmony with each other, everything will be fine. An important criterion for choosing auspicious names in folk customs is that the five elements are mutually beneficial, balanced and auspicious, and the five elements are mutually beneficial and indispensable.

The ancients believed that everything in heaven and earth, whether natural or man-made, material or spiritual, could not escape from the category of the five elements. There are five stars in the sky, five sides on the earth, and people have five internal organs. Everything is contained in the "treasure chest" of the five elements. Even if there are more than five things or less than five things, the ancients should "cut enough to fit the shoes" and cut more and make up less. For example, poultry and livestock far exceed the multiple of "five", but the ancients only took five kinds of dogs, horses, cows, chickens and pigs; Originally, there were only four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, but the ancients insisted on adding a "long summer" to make up the number.

Biochemical constraints among wood, fire, soil, gold and water are as follows:

The first is the relationship:

Wood makes a fire-wood burns to make a fire

Fire produces soil-fire burns to ashes.

Natural gold-gold is extracted from soil and stones.

Gold is raw water-gold is liquid (watery) after liquefaction.

Aquatic wood rain moistens and plants grow.

Secondly, the relationship of mutual respect:

Jin Kemu-Knife and axe can cut down trees, but water can put out fires-water can put out fires.

Mutuko-Vegetation is rooted in soil, and fire can kill gold-fire can melt metal.

Tuke soil and water can be used to build dikes to block water.

The requirements for the auspicious names of the five elements in folk customs are: the five elements are auspicious when they are harmonious and balanced, and unlucky when they are opposite.

In folklore, surnames and first names cannot be compared, but should be. If someone is named Liu Bei, Liu Yin, Liu Ling, Liu Fang, or Jin Bei, Qian Bei, etc. It is considered unlucky in folk customs, because Liu, Jin and Qian belong to gold in the five elements, while shellfish, Yin and Lin in the name belong to wood in the five places, and gold (surname) is Kemu (name), so it is unlucky.

An auspicious name must be born from the five elements between the surname and the first name, such as Wang, which conforms to the relationship between Jin and aquatic wood in the five elements and is a good name with good luck.

There are two situations in the generation: one is that in a family, each generation takes turns to take one of the five elements. For example, in the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, except for the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the following emperors took a behavior name in turn according to the five elements:

Mao-Zhu Yuanzhang Xiaozong-Zhu Youtang (wood)

Chengzu-Judy (Wood) Five Elements-Zhu Houzhao (Fire)

Injong-Zhu Gaochi (Fire) Mu Zong-Zhu Zaihou (Earth)

Xuanzong-Zhu Zhanji (Earth) Shintoism-Zhu Yijun (Jin)

Yingzong-Zhu Qizhen (Jin) Guangzong-Zhu Changluo (Shui)

Xianzong-Zhu Jianshen (Water)

From Judy, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, wood made a fire, and fire produced earth, earth produced gold, and gold produced water, completing a cycle, and then aquatic wood began a second cycle, and so on, generation after generation, round after round, in order to be endless and endless, and to ensure that the mountains and rivers of Daming are inexhaustible. Of course, this is just a good wish of the Ming emperors, but in fact, the so-called auspicious choice is just a good wish of people's wishful thinking, nothing more. Anything else?

There is also a situation in which generations are born. In a family or even a family of the same generation, brothers and sisters each occupy a line. For example, in the old society, a family had five brothers and sisters. The eldest brother was Li Zidong, the second was Li, the third was Li, the fourth was Li, and the fifth was Li Zhiyong. This family is in harmony with each other.

The prescription of deficiency is based on everyone's physique and numerology, and it is the most common among the people.

Folk culture believes that everyone is the aggregation of the five elements according to their nature, and a perfect person should have all the five elements, with harmonious proportion and impartiality. But this kind of person is only a very small number, and most ordinary people do not lack five elements, that is, they are neither lacking nor biased, less or more.

According to folklore, the lack of five elements in people's physique and numerology has a great influence on people's fate and is very harmful. It is one of the measures to make people turn into good karma to make up for (insufficient) or suppress (excessive) by name. It is in this sense that the name of the remedy for the deficiency of the five elements must be a good name for good luck.

In this regard, the ancients had many methods.

One is the diagnostic method of traditional Chinese medicine, which judges the rise and fall of qi in a person's five internal organs by means of diagnosis and treatment, such as excessive liver fire, kidney deficiency and shortness of breath, and so on.

One is the method of observing people. The physiognomist divides people into five elements in terms of body shape, color, personality and voice.

On the surface, it can be divided into: on the character, it can be divided into:

Wood-like-green slender wood-like person, lofty and kind.

Golden shape-white square is upright, golden shape is serious and upright.

Water-shaped-black and plump, water-shaped people are smart.

Fire shape-red and pointed fire shape makes people impatient and polite.

Earth shape-yellow and honest. The shape of the earth is honest and trustworthy.

People's appearance and temperament are very different, and it is too simplistic and absolute to classify them only by the five elements. It can be seen that this ancient method of reading people's faces has many disadvantages and cannot be blindly believed.

In addition, there is a numerology deduction algorithm, that is, people's "birth" is used to calculate their five elements. We focus on how to introduce the five elements from the eight characters.

The ancients introduced the Five Elements through heavenly stems and earthly branches's collocation with the Five Elements.

The sky is dozens, the five elements are five, and two is one. The heavenly stems start from A and B, and the five elements start from wood, pushing down in turn, that is, A and B belong to wood, C and D belong to fire, E belongs to soil, G belongs to gold, and non-decyl belongs to water. The number of ground branches is 12. From the beginning of yin, Chen belongs to wood, but it doesn't fire at noon. Shenben belongs to gold, Haizi belongs to water, which is not ugly but also belongs to earth.

According to the matching relationship between heavenly stems and earthly branches and the five elements, we can write five elements, four columns and eight characters.

For example, a person born at 6 pm on August 1945 can write five lines in his eight characters.

Year column: B (wood) Moon column: A (wood)

You (Jin) Shen (Jin)

Sun column: earth column: water column.

Non-fire unitary (gold)

It seems that the five elements in this person's eight characters are: gold 3, wood 2, earth 1, water L, fire L and gold, so this person is more prosperous in numerology. When naming, use fire-related words, such as disability, benefit, prosperity, etc., to restrain gold.

In addition to the above-mentioned formal coordination of heavenly stems and earthly branches's five elements, there is also a kind of "Yin Na's five elements" in numerology, in which the five elements are matched with the symbol of combining dry and branch (namely sixty Jia Zi), such as Jia Zi with gold and Bing Yin with fire. There is a folk formula that explains the specific collocation method in detail. Its formula is:

Jia pumping sea gold easy to swim spring easy to think compound lamp.

The fire in the furnace of Bing Yin Ding Mao, the soil on the house of Bing Yin Ding Hai, and the river of Bing Yin Ding Mao in the afternoon.

Chen Wu is in Dalinmu, Wu Zi is ugly, thunder is raging, and Wu Shen is in Judah.

Geng Wu Tu Lu Geng Mao Song Bai Xin Hai Card Payment

Renshen Gui You Jianfeng Jin Renchen Qiuci Living Water Renzi Qiuci Mulberry Cup Wood

Jia hai shan tou Wu yi Xu Jia Mao da shui

Bingzi Ding Chou River enters the water, Shen Bing Ding Youshan enters the fire, and Chen Bing Ding Sisha is in the upper middle.

Wuyin Jimao Chengtou Earth House Xu Jihai Flat Wood Wuji is not on fire.

Chen Geng New Temple Bai La Jin Geng Angel Chou Qiang Tu Geng Shen Xin has pomegranate wood.

In the afternoon, there are no willows. In the afternoon, there are no willows.

Need to remind readers that the ancients evolved each line of the five elements into six specific forms:

Gold-gold in the sea, gold in the blade, gold in Bai La, gold in the sand, gold in the foil and gold in the hairpin;

Wood-big forest wood, willow wood, pine and cypress wood, flat wood, mulberry rotten wood and pomegranate wood;

Water-running water, spring water, long running water, Tianhe, big streams and big sea water;

Fire-fire in the furnace, fire on the top of the mountain, fire in the thunder, fire under the mountain, fire rekindled, fire in the sky;

Soil-roadside soil, urban soil, house soil, wall soil, column soil and sand.

The ancients thought that this evolution and difference of the specific forms of the five elements was extremely important, because with this difference, we can infer the lack of ups and downs of the five elements in someone's eight characters. For example, someone has eight characters:

Ugly pillars-gold in the sea

Moon Column Jiayin-Daxi River

Reform Movement of 1898-Hiragi

Time column boxer-dirt on the wall

As can be seen from the above, there is a lack of fire in this life, but there is also a lack of soil-how much soil can there be on the wall?

Know a person's five elements, how to name them?

As mentioned above, the perfect person is a person who has all the five elements and is impartial. There are not many such people, but there are still some. When naming such people, we should be careful not to artificially create local vacancies and destroy the existing balance.

The specific methods are as follows: First, the five elements in the name are complete, unbiased and lacking, corresponding to the existing balance; First, avoid the five elements in form and meaning, and name them with words that have nothing to do with the five elements.

But for most people, his five elements are always lacking, so they must be balanced by naming. Therefore, it is auspicious to choose a name that balances the five elements, and vice versa.

The material used for naming is Chinese characters, so we must first determine the characteristics of the five elements of Chinese characters in order to name people in the right way to balance the five elements.

The ancients believed that the five elements of Chinese characters can be determined from three aspects: form, meaning and number. The so-called shape refers to the physical composition of characters, and many Chinese characters contain gold, wood, water, fire and earth in their glyphs. Meaning refers to the meaning of words, and many Chinese characters can emit five elements from the meaning of words; Number refers to the number of strokes of a word, which is related to the theory of Yi-ology. According to the Yi-ology theory, I and VI belong to water, II and VII to fire, III and VIII to wood, IV and IX to gold, and V and X to earth.

There is no internal connection between the number and the five elements, but the Yi-ology theory insists on linking them together, which shows that this connection is completely artificial.

The ancients not only knew the situation of a person's five elements, but also knew the characteristics of Chinese characters, so they could name them according to the right medicine to save their five elements.

Corresponding to the characteristics of the five elements (form, meaning and number) of Chinese characters, there are three forms to make up for the deficiency of the five elements: tangible complement, semantic complement and number complement.

Some Chinese characters can see their five elements characteristics at a glance from their physical structure, so the simplest and most widely used remedy for the lack of five elements in naming is form complement. If you think that a person is short of gold, then use the word "gold" when naming, such as Qin, Tie, Feng and Zhen. The same is true when wood, water, fire and soil are insufficient. Some people miss not only one line, but two or more lines. At this time, it is necessary to consider several lines at the same time to remedy. If a person is considered to be short of water, then both wood and water should be taken into account when naming, such as "Liu Han" and "Zegen", or a single name with the word "wood" or "Ting". In a word, the basic principle of formal complement is one sentence: what is missing is what is missing.

There is also a principle of quantity, that is, how much is missing. At the same time, some people are short of money, and some people are short of money, so they must be treated differently. Make up for the lack of gold, and make up for the lack of gold. In interpersonal communication, we often come across names like "Jin Xin" and "Forest". They must be short of gold or have too much wood in their lives, so they make up for it. And some people just lack a line and just need to make a little remedy. If there is a slight shortage of water, it can be supplemented by "moistening", "soaking" and "clearing", and it is forbidden to use big water such as "sea", "river" and "road", otherwise it will overflow due to excessive replenishment, which is counterproductive.
