What are my birthday and five elements?

Birthday, or eight characters, is actually another way of saying the four pillars of Zhouyi. Four pillars refer to the time when a person was born, that is, year, month, day and hour. When people use "heavenly stem" and "earthly branch" to represent year, month, day and hour respectively, such as Jiazi Year, Shen Bingyue, Xin Ugly Day and Renyin Time. There are two words in each column and eight characters in four columns, so fortune telling is also called "measuring eight characters" According to the relationship between yin and yang attributes and the five elements of heaven and earth, it is inferred that human body is responsible and blessed. However, what I want to talk about here is not how to "measure eight characters", but how to calculate eight characters. The four columns are arranged in a figure of eight, which refers to the year, month, day and time when a person was born. Four-column arrangement refers to finding a person's date of birth. It is mainly divided into four steps. Chronological columns, that is, the year when a person was born, are represented by branches. Note that the dividing line between last year and next year is based on the intersection time of beginning of spring, not on the first day of the first month. For example, a person was born at 22: 00 on February 4, 2000 in the solar calendar 17, and was handed over to beginning of spring at 20: 32 on February 4, 2000 in the lunar calendar, so his chronology is listed as 2000. Instead of 1999, the moon columns are arranged, that is, the branches indicate the festival when the person was born. Note that the main branch of the month is not based on the first day of the lunar calendar, but on the festival, which is the festival of last month. After the festival, it will be the festival next month.

Beginning of winter to heavy snow, from heavy snow to slight cold, from slight cold to beginning of spring moral: In the first month, beginning of spring: "Li" means the beginning, which means that the spring of everything's recovery has begun again. The warmer weather and the renewal of everything are the signs of the beginning of farming activities. February 4th or 5th of the solar calendar is the beginning of spring.

China's ancient thinkers used the theory of five elements to explain the formation of all things in the world and their relationship. Traditional Chinese medicine uses five elements to explain various physiological and pathological phenomena. People who predict the future use the five elements to calculate people's fate. The theory of five elements first appeared in Taoism. It emphasizes the whole concept and aims to describe the movement form and transformation relationship of things. If Yin and Yang are the ancient theory of unity of opposites, the five elements can be said to be the original general system theory. The theory of five elements is China's ancient theory of material composition, which is similar to the western theory of four elements: earth, water, fire and wind. However, in the modern era of emphasizing pure science, this theory, which combines philosophy, science (physics, chemistry, biology), sociology and many other sciences, has not received due attention and research, let alone absorbed the essence and carried forward it. Yao, what are the five elements and how are they explained in history? The word "Five Elements" first appeared in the Book of History by Shi Gan and Hong Fan. In Shi Gan, it means "a Hu Shi threatens the five elements, neglects the three principles, and kills people with heaven". "Hong Fan" pointed out that "guns are flooding, and five elements of Chen Qi are gurgling; The emperor was furious, but he didn't kill Hong Fan's nine domains ... Gun died, Yunis flourished, and the sky was the nine domains of Xi Yu Hongfan, and it was a reunion. Five elements: water, fire, wood, gold and earth. The "five elements" have been clearly defined as water, fire, wood, gold and earth in Hong Fan, and are considered to be the first. In Zhou Youwang, the "five elements" are considered as five matrices that make up everything. There are also "five elements" in Zuozhuan. Here, he is considered as a "native five elements", which is closely related to the "five materials" and the reproduction of the earth. " The five elements are related to the presentation and continuous operation of nature. The so-called "line", Zheng Xuan noted: "Qi Tian, Shun Tian also. The "five elements" mentioned in Shangshu have a certain symbolic meaning-"line". What "line" refers to is nothing more than a natural "operation" and a natural behavior that keeps moving according to a rule inherent in its own presentation. Therefore, whenever there is a flood, the emperor will get angry, because it is against the laws of nature. Destiny fell on Yu because Yu guided the situation to control water, and water-based nature is basically flowing. Blocking the flow to control it will naturally destroy the water-based nature, which will inevitably lead to anger and therefore people's resentment. Therefore, Xia Qi's Crusade is considered as "a Crusade." To sum up, we can clearly understand that "five elements" refer to basic substances; It means Lord of all things. What the ancients said above is actually expressing an idea: if you don't follow the "five elements", you will be abandoned by fate like a husband and widow! Although a bit idealistic, it is not unreasonable. Let nature take its course and guide the situation according to the situation, which will be smoother than blindly and recklessly. Classification of objects: Jin Mu fire, water, soil, fire, white, blue, black, red and yellow; five acupoints: west, east, north, south, middle, autumn, spring, winter and summer; five kinds of qi, dryness, wind, cold, heat, dampness, five kinds of bitterness, bitterness, five thieves' anger, joy, sadness, joy, five eyes, nose, eyes, mouth, soul and spirit. The five elements are interrelated (five-material theory): Jin Shui Sheng, aquatic wood, wood fire, fire generates soil, and soil generates gold. Golden raw water: golden needle melts raw water; Aquatic wood: Water moistens logs; Wood fire: wood dry warm fire; Fire-born soil: burning wood-born soil; Natural gold: Natural mineral deposits produce gold. The five elements coexist: Jin Kemu, Muketu, Tuke Water, Fire, Water and Fire. Just wins softness, so Jin wins wood; Because knives can cut down trees; Specializing in scattering, so wood beats soil; Because wooden stakes can be inserted into the soil; Reality is better than emptiness, and homeland is better than water; Because the dam can stop the water flow; The public wins the minority, so water wins the fire; Because floods can put out flames; Fine wins strength, so fire wins gold; Because fire can dissolve metal.
