How to judge the five elements of a Chinese character?

However, because there are many schools of eight characters, that is, the level of the same school is different, and the attribution of the five elements of Chinese characters is also very different, which makes the theory of eight characters and five elements not unified. Even professionals can hardly tell who is right or wrong and which is more reasonable, let alone non-professionals who don't know how to study easily. In this article, I will explain how to define the five elements of a Chinese character in vernacular. Whether you are a professional or not, I believe you can get inspiration from it until you understand it. At present, there are several methods commonly used in society: 1. Chinese character strokes have three talents and five elements, namely genius, genius and geographical genius, which are the single digits of heaven, earth and people respectively. If the unit number is 0, it is calculated as 10, and the five elements are obtained by mathematics. The relationship between the five elements is: wood, fire, earth, gold and water, which are adjacent to each other and separated from each other. In this way, according to the internal relationship between mathematics and five elements, the calculated configuration relationship is the configuration of three talents. 1, 2 is wood, 3, 4 is fire, 5, 6 is earth, 7, 8 is gold, 9, 10 is water. Disadvantages: This method was introduced to China from Japan. It is a foreign numeral method and China's five elements. Every number has good or bad luck. It means fortune telling, and it has many superstitious elements. Chinese characters are just counting five lines blindly. This method is often used by renaming software, which leads to many irrationalities. Many names listed on the street are named in this way. The name has no sense of the times and is very fresh. Words with gold and jade beside them belong to gold, words with fire and sun belong to fire, and words with earth and mountains belong to earth. This method mainly defines the five elements of Chinese characters through radicals. Such as: wood: Ben, Pu, Shu, machine, bridge, banyan, forest, barrel, etc. Fire: energy, decay, inflammation, torch, beacon, brilliant and other earth: earth, hard, Kun, Tan, Pei, Zeng and so on. Gold: sword, steel, button, copper, tin and other water: spring, ice, sink, river, ze, pie, pottery and so on. Disadvantages: According to this statement, what are the five elements without these radicals? Isn't there five elements? For example, most young Tianma are famous for their straight and mysterious ears. This method is too limited and only applies to some characters with strong radicals. Third, to determine the so-called meaning from the meaning is the meaning of the word. Many Chinese characters can determine the five elements from their meanings. For example, art, fragrance and Chinese can all be classified as wood. Light, glow and light belong to fire, mountains, rocks and peaks to earth, Liu, Lie and Li to gold, and fresh, thunder, culture and flying to water. Fourth, the five elements of phonology are divided according to the pronunciation of Chinese characters. Gkh belongs to wood, zcsdtnljq belongs to fire, aoeieaieiaoouanenangengerin belongs to soil, xzhchshri belongs to gold, and bpmfvuyw belongs to water. Such as: dry open, peaceful, strong, Huo, A, Ao, Xiong, Zhong, Jin, Bo, Pu, Yuan, water shortcomings. First of all, we must understand the root cause of things. From the most fundamental point of view, most Chinese characters, especially commonly used names, are composed of two or more radical radicals, which shows that a multi-radical Chinese character cannot be determined by one five elements. How to determine the five elements of a word? The key is to define the five elements according to the word meaning, because the sound, shape and meaning of Chinese characters come first and the five elements come last. At present, no one has defined the five elements by the sound shape of Chinese characters, because the criterion is difficult to grasp, so the best way is to define the main five elements and the secondary five elements of a Chinese character according to the meaning of the word. Like the word "Li", some software measures five elements of gold, some software measures wood, and some software measures water. There is a common fault in the five elements of Chinese characters measured by software, that is, no matter what word is just a five elements, then we analyze the five elements of the word "Li" with the meaning of Chinese characters, and the word "Li" is a big surname. Of course, no one uses surnames to define the five elements, only the meaning of the word "Li". The word "Li" is "wood", which itself means "plum tree" or wood. Let me give you another example: the word "Dan", which is a character with strong radicals and five elements, one is divided into three parts, and the other is divided into two parts. If Chinese characters are defined by radicals and five elements, the word "Dan" is next to the word "water" and the five elements are water, then this method is reasonable. Let's define the five elements of the word "light" by its meaning. Although the word "light" is a word of fire and water, and the word itself is that fire is greater than water, the meaning of the word is mainly water, because the function of the word "light" is usually called fresh water, not light fire, and its main function is to describe water, dilute it, from strong to weak, which is light. This shows that ". So the five elements of the word "light" are fire, and finally the five elements of the word "light" are fire and water. Everyone thinks that fire and water are incompatible, but it is also a word. There are many words that are incompatible with the five elements. This shows that it is unreasonable to use the five elements of Chinese characters to remedy the eight-character five elements. Unless you have a good understanding of the eight-character five elements and Chinese characters, it is easy to produce contradictions. The five elements of a word are strong and weak, like a river. The main five elements of the word "river, lake, sea and ocean" are all water, and there are strong and weak points because of water. Let's be clear about this. Don't listen to the word "water shortage" and blindly replenish water. It depends on the size of the water, whether your life is suitable, and so on.
