What does golden soil mean?

Golden soil means: the five elements belong to golden soil.

The Five Elements is a systematic view of ancient Taoism in China, including five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. They restrict and depend on each other and are closely related to everything in the universe. According to the theory of five elements, gold and earth are two important elements.

Gold refers to metals, including precious metals such as gold, silver and copper. Among the five elements, gold is a positive element, which has the characteristics of convergence, sedimentation and cleanliness, and can eliminate excessive internal heat and relieve excessive humidity. In human health, gold represents the respiratory system, lungs and nose, so these parts are prone to problems.

Soil is the most stable element in the five elements, representing the earth's surface and soil. Soil has the characteristics of bearing, receiving and transforming, and can transform the material energy of everything. From the perspective of human health, soil corresponds to the digestive system, stomach and other parts, so the spleen and stomach are prone to problems. Therefore, gold soil is the attribute of gold and soil in the five elements, which represents the characteristics of gold and soil in the five elements.

The origin of five elements

The Five Elements is a systematic view of ancient Taoism in China, which can be traced back to the "order of the Five Elements" mentioned in Shang Yu Shu Gong, that is, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are arranged in a certain order.

The origin of the five elements theory can be traced back to ancient divination and astronomical observation. By observing astronomical phenomena and natural phenomena, the ancients linked them with the five elements, and thought that the five elements were the basic elements of everything in the universe.

For example, gold represents autumn, because the sky is clear and the climate is cool in autumn; Wood represents spring, because everything revives and plants grow in spring; Water represents winter, because winter is cold and glaciers are widely distributed; Fire represents summer, because summer is very hot and everything grows luxuriantly; The earth represents the central position, because the central position is in the square.

The theory of five elements has been further developed in classics such as the Book of Changes and the Book of Songs. In the Book of Changes, the five elements are endowed with more profound philosophical significance. Gold represents change, wood represents growth, water represents wisdom, fire represents enthusiasm and earth represents stability. The theory of five elements is widely used in Taoism, and it is believed that it can affect people's fate and health.
