Birthdays look at the five elements (the five elements know each other)

Ling Xiaochong interprets the cold knowledge of Jin Yong's martial arts and literary masterpieces for you. Click on the attention to read a series of articles. The theory of five elements is an analogy theory in ancient China. It is not the five elements, but all things belong to five elements according to the nature of moistening, inflammation, straightness, culture and cultivation. It is different from the theory of earth, water, fire and wind in ancient western countries, and it is a theory that integrates philosophy, divination, fortune telling, calendar, traditional Chinese medicine and sociology.

Here ling bug takes you to know the cold knowledge related to the five elements:

The origin and popularity of the five elements are very ancient, and the concept of "five elements" was put forward as early as "Shang Shu Hong Fan".

Five elements: water, fire, wood, gold and earth. Water is moist, fire is inflamed, wood is straight (curved and loose), gold is leather (dense and well divided), and soil is fertilizer (meaning sowing and harvesting). Moisten the bottom to make it salty, make it bitter on the inflammation, make it sour on the straight, make it pungent on the leather and make it sweet on the crops.

From this point of view, China's theory of five elements has had a relatively complete basic system structure since the ancient Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

The five elements theory we are quoting now is really popular, and Ling Xiaochong personally thinks it is during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many schools of thought contended with retro plots, and developed their academic thoughts with the help of ancient books. Among them, Zou Yan, the eldest brother of Yin and Yang family, inherited and developed the theory of five elements most profoundly.

With the help of the concept of five elements, Zou Yan put forward the theory that "five elements give birth to victory", trying to explain the universal law of the movement and change of things. He believes that wood makes a fire, fire produces soil, soil produces gold and gold produces water. Aquatic wood is the transformation form of the five elements, which shows that there is an antagonistic relationship between things. Because of Zou Yan's profound research on the theory of five elements, people also call "Yin-Yang family" as "Yin-Yang family of five elements".

He used the theory of five elements to explain dynasty changes and social changes, and extended the theory of "five virtues ending in the beginning". Zou Yan's theory of "five virtues ending in the beginning" laid a theoretical foundation for Wang Qimin to call East Emperor and Yan Zhaowang to call North Emperor. Later, he was taken by Qin Shihuang to serve his throne and rule. "Historical Records" said: "Zou Zi's disciples finally discussed the life of the five virtues, and the Qin Emperor played it, and the first emperor adopted it." Zou Yan's theory of "Five Virtues in the End" was absorbed by Dong Zhongshu's Neo-Confucianism in Han Dynasty, which became the theoretical framework supporting the theory of "divine right of monarchy" and had a far-reaching influence on later generations.

Take chestnuts for example. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Pi deposed the emperor and usurped Ada, while Liu Bei proclaimed himself Emperor Zhaolie. This is because the Han Dynasty belongs to the category of "fire" in Zou Yan's Five Virtues Theory, so there will be fire-related names such as "Yan" and "Zhaolie" in the titles of the Han Dynasty.

Do you know all the five elements? Take a look at the five elements in the five elements theory, and everyone must know it. Even primary school students can say: "Jinshui, aquatic wood, wood makes fire, fire makes soil, native gold" and "Jin Kemu, wood makes soil, native water, aquatic fire, fire makes gold".

Here, Ling takes you to understand the saying that "the five elements oppose production and grams" derived from the five elements.

On the other hand, it is gram: "gold is born in the soil, and more gold is buried in the soil." Soil depends on fire, fire depends on soil, fire depends on wood, and wood is stuffed with fire. Wood depends on water, but wood depends on Shui Piao. Water is Lai Jinsheng and gold is turbid water. " Gold is born in soil, but too much soil has buried gold, which makes gold lose its due role. For example, if a person is strong and eats ginseng supplements, the result is not only that he does not play a role in strengthening his body, but that he is too sick (such as nosebleeds), which is a great reversal of life.

Anti-grams: There are not only shungrams in the five elements of generating grams, such as Jin Kemu, Muketu, Tukeshui, water can kill fire, fire can kill gold, Kelly declines, and strong can kill weak; There are also anti-grams, such as "golden wood, wood is strong and gold is lacking." Wood can break soil, but the soil is heavy. Soil can overcome water, and water is full of soil. Water can overcome fire, and fire is flourishing and water is dry. Fire can kill gold, and gold can extinguish more fires. "For example, if you cut a giant tree with a knife, the knife will break it, which means that gold is weak and wood is strong, but gold is wood.

Brother, you are short of five elements ... In TV series and novels, when a newborn child is named, the adult or fortune teller at home will calculate the child's birth time (date of birth) and then say, "Your child is short of water (or other five elements)".

This miss is still related to the Five Elements of a Birth and heavenly stems and earthly branches.

In ancient China, the time was calculated by the trunk-branch method. I won't go into details here. Let's take a simple example-the current time is 2065438+ 10: 30 in the morning of August 30th, 2009, then the time converted into the main branch is "It's time to return to the moon in Jihai, it's Jihai Day", and the birthday of the child born at this time is "Jihai Gui You Jihai".

Specifically, let's take a look at the five elements in the eight characters, or learn about heavenly stems and earthly branches's five elements first.

As can be seen from the above table, the five-line distribution of this child's birth date is "Jihai Gui You Jihai Keith" versus "Earth, water, gold, earth, water, earth and fire". Look carefully, there are four lines of "golden water, fire and earth" and no "wood", so the child born at this time is "short of wood" according to the five elements theory. If the adults in the family are superstitious, they will give their children the names of "grass prefix" or "side character" to make up for the lack of "wood".
