The relationship between gold and fire

Fire and gold are born, and the five elements are born. Fire is compatible with gold, but gold needs to be refined before it can be made into instruments.

The five elements are the philosophical thoughts created by the Chinese nation. Mostly used in philosophy, Chinese medicine and divination. The theory of five elements is an important part of China civilization.

Ancient ancestors believed that everything in the world was composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and they were related. The five elements refer to the movement and change of five substances: wood, fire, earth, gold and water.

Extended data:

The five elements coexist and resist each other, which means that there is a gradual restraint and restriction relationship among wood, fire, earth, gold and water.

The order of the five elements is: Mutuke, Tukeshui, Shuihuoke, Huojinke and Jin Kemu. In the relationship between the five elements, every line has the relationship between "I" and "I".

In Neijing, the relationship of mutual containment and restriction is called "victory" and "invincible": those who resist me are invincible, and those who resist me win.

Therefore, the mutual containment of the five elements is actually the containment and restriction of a certain line in the five elements to its victory.

Take wood as an example, because wood can overcome soil, the "I can win" is soil, and the soil is the "victory" of wood; Because of Jin Kemu, the person who "beats me" is gold, and gold is the "invincible" of wood.
