What exactly does five lines of gossip mean?

Two instruments: 1. Refers to heaven and earth. "Yi Cohesion": "It is easy to have Tai Chi, which is the second instrument." Kong's Ying Da Shu: "If you don't talk about heaven and earth, the two devices refer to their things; The bottom is opposite to the four images (gold, wood, water and fire), so it is called two vessels, which means two bodies contain vessels. "Lu Chunqiu Da Le": "Taiyi was born ~ ~, ~ ~ was born with Yin and Yang. "Jin Shuzhi Jade Biography": "If you test two instruments, there is no hiding in the world; If you are right for three days, there is no room for absurdity. "The third fold of the fifth volume of Wang Shifu's The West Chamber in the Yuan Dynasty:" On the same day, the three talents began to judge, and the second instrument was divided; Gan Kun: Those who are clear are dry, those who are turbid are Kun, and people are mixed in. " Jin Yi's view of literature and art: "Look up and be ignorant, look down and make a chapter, locate the height, so the second instrument comes into being." "

Four Elephants: Four Elephants (or four phases) refer to the dragon, white tiger, suzaku and Xuanwu in the traditional culture of China, representing the four directions of east, west, north and south respectively. In "Twenty-eight Nights", four images are used to divide the stars in the sky, also known as four gods and four spirits. In the theory of astronomical yin and yang in the Spring and Autumn Period, it refers to the natural weather in four seasons, which are called Shaoyang, Sun, Shaoyin and Taiyin respectively. The traditional orientation of China is that the south is above, which is different from the modern north. Therefore, when describing the orientation of the four elephants, they will also be represented by Zuo Qinglong (east), You Baihu (west), Qianzuzha (south) and Houxuanwu (north), which echoes the orientation of the five elements (East Muxijin, North Shuinanhuo). The concept of "Four Elephants" was highly valued in ancient Japan and Korea, which were often called "Four Saints" and "Four Holy Beasts". It is worth noting that, although recently influenced by Japanese pop culture, I began to get used to this statement, but in fact, China never said four icons. Generally speaking, the four saints are Fuxi, King Wen, Duke Zhou and Confucius. The four images also refer to wind, rain, thunder and electricity, four natural weather and meteorology.

Five elements: Five elements are China's ancient material view. Mostly used in philosophy, Chinese medicine and divination. The five elements refer to: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It is believed that nature is composed of five elements, and with the rise and fall of these five elements, nature changes, which not only affects people's fate, but also makes everything in the universe circulate endlessly. According to the theory of five elements, everything in the universe is composed of the movement and change of five basic substances: wood, fire, earth, gold and water. It emphasizes the whole concept and describes the structural relationship and movement form of things. If Yin and Yang are an ancient theory of unity of opposites, the five elements can be said to be a primitive general system theory. Bagua: A set of symbols in ancient China. With "one" for Yang and "-"for Yin, three such symbols form eight forms, which are called Eight Diagrams. Each six-pointed star represents something. Dry represents the sky, Kun represents the earth, ridge represents water, far represents fire, earthquake represents thunder, roots represent mountains, rafters represent wind, and pairs represent ze. Eight diagrams are matched with each other to get sixty-four hexagrams, which are used to symbolize various natural phenomena and personnel phenomena. In traditional Chinese medicine, gossip refers to eight acupoints around the palm.
