Introduction to the five elements of Shuike

Water suppresses fire, because fire goes out when it meets water.

The five elements are the philosophical thoughts created by the Chinese nation. Mostly used in philosophy, Chinese medicine and divination. The theory of five elements is an important part of China civilization. Ancient ancestors believed that everything in the world was composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and they were related. The five elements refer to the movement and change of five substances: wood, fire, earth, gold and water. So in China, the "five elements" have a long history.

Wood, fire, earth, gold and water refer to the five changing substances in the five elements. The five elements refer to the movements and changes of five substances: wood, fire, earth, gold and water. The first thing to pay attention to when learning it is "walking". Inferring good or bad behavior with the five elements is called Fan Fortune-telling. If fortune tellers tell fortune, they think it is absolutely wrong to walk. When we read the Book of Changes, we read the sentence "Tian Xing Jian", which means movement, that is, "kinetic energy". The biggest relationship between matter in the universe lies in this kinetic energy. There are five kinds of "kinetic energy", represented by gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Like hexagrams, they are traditional symbols, so don't take them too seriously. The so-called "gold" is not gold, and "water" is different from the water in a cup. Don't think that the five elements are five substances. The five elements of China culture, namely, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, are modern humanistic culture and interpersonal culture, and are the elements that constitute the earth. The five stars outside the earth have a lot to do with us.

"Book Oath": "If you have a Hu family, you are afraid of the five elements and abandon the three meanings." Confucius and Ying Da wrote: "Five elements, water, fire, gold, wood and earth."

"Five Emperors in Confucius' Family Language": "The five elements of heaven, water, fire, gold, wood and earth are cultivated into everything in time. "
