Jin Mu's five elements are restricted by fire, water and soil.

The Five Elements is China's ancient material view. Mostly used in philosophy, Chinese medicine and divination.

Five elements refer to: gold; Wood; Water; Fire; 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 made up 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.

At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty in China, there was a simple materialistic "Five Things Theory". From Yu Zheng's "Earth is mixed with Jin Mu's fire, water and soil to form everything" to Zuo Zhuan's "Five natural things are used by the people, and nothing can be discarded", and then to Shang Shu Hong Fan's "Five elements: water, fire, wood, gold and earth", which are moist, inflamed, straight, golden and fertile. It is salty when wet, bitter when inflamed, sour when straight, spicy when leathered and sweet when cultivated. "Record, began to abstract the attributes of the five elements, deduction to other things, constitute a fixed combination. In the late Warring States period, the idea that the five elements win each other (grams) was put forward, which fixed the order of victory (grams) and fate, formed a model of the interconnection between things, and spontaneously reflected the internal structural relationship of things and their overall grasp. During this period, Neijing applied the theory of five elements to medicine, which played an important role in studying and sorting out a large number of clinical experiences accumulated by the ancients and forming a unique theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine.

The five elements coexist: Jin Kemu, Muketu, Tuke Water, Fire, Water and Fire.

The five elements are born together: gold begets water, aquatic wood, wood makes fire, fire begets soil, and soil begets gold.

Through long-term contact and observation, the ancient working people realized that the five elements had different performances. "Straight wood is straight" means that wood has the characteristics of growth and rising; "Fire is said to get angry", which means that fire has the characteristics of heating up; "Soil-made crop wall" means that the soil has the characteristics of planting crops and biochemical substances; "Gold says that it changes with leather" is that gold has the characteristic of killing change; "Moisturizing" means moistening downward. Based on this understanding, the ancients classified all kinds of things in the universe into five elements, so conceptually, they are not wood, fire, earth, gold and water, but a large class of abstract attributes that can be compared with various things and phenomena in characteristics.

The category of five elements thought in the history of China's philosophy: "Up to now, we have basically analyzed the various meanings of the five elements. For the sake of clarity, we comprehensively list these meanings as follows:

It refers to the five principles of behavior, and doubt is held by Xunzi.

It refers to five physical attributes, such as those in Shang Shu Hong Fan and Zhou Zi Taiji Map.

It refers to the five essential material conditions of life, such as those held by Cai Mo in Zuo Zhuan.

It is the five principles of taxonomy, such as those held by Lu Chunqiu.

It refers to five "forms of existence" that exist through the flow of yin and yang, such as Baihutong and Huangdi Neijing Suwen.

Refers to wood (plants), fire, earth, gold and running water. Their symbolic meanings are vitality, activity or change, gestation or cultivation, prohibition and concealment. Xiao Ji took this.

The five elements and six meanings mentioned above, except (1) and (3), are the complete meanings of the five elements in the thought of Yin-Yang and Five Elements if the other four elements (2), (4), (5) and (6) are combined.
