What did the ancients mean by three talents?

Three talents are the floorboard of five grids, namely, heaven, personality and geography.

The so-called three talents, namely genius, talent and local talent, are the configuration and combination of heaven, personality and geography respectively, reflecting the comprehensive internal fortune. The relationship between the five elements is that wood, fire, earth, gold and water are adjacent and separate. In this way, according to the internal relationship between mathematics and five elements, the calculated configuration relationship is the configuration of three talents.

Sancai Yijing put forward the great theory of "heaven, earth and man" at the earliest, clearest, most systematic and deepest. This theory is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese nation for a long time and runs through the daily life of the Chinese nation. It has firmly cultivated the spirit that the Chinese nation is willing to integrate with heaven and earth and live in harmony with nature, and holds extremely pious love for heaven and earth and nature.

The harmony between the Chinese nation and the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth will be of great significance for improving, adjusting, rationalizing, integrating and coordinating the balanced and harmonious development between man and heaven and the natural environment, for the balanced and harmonious development between man and society, man's mind and man's body (even if the three states of ecology, world status and mentality develop synchronously, in a balanced and harmonious way), for establishing and implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, for realizing world peace and development, and for creating a better tomorrow for mankind.
