A person's constellation consists of year, month, day and time. In other words, it consists of four heavenly stems and four earthly branches. Moreover, each heavenly stems and earthly branches has five corresponding attributes (gold, wood, water, fire and earth).

Note that it doesn't mean that a person must make up these five elements if he lacks anything. According to the eight-character pattern, what five elements are needed to supplement what five elements. For example, although someone is short of water, the pattern of this character is taboo, so it is a good thing to hit the water shortage.

theory of the five elements

In fact, the theory of five elements has always been China's analogy theory of taking images in ancient times, not the five elements, but the theory that everything belongs to the five elements of fire, water, fire and wind according to the nature of moistening, inflammation, straightness and cultivation. It is different from the theory of four elements of earth, water, fire and wind in ancient western countries, and it is a theory that integrates philosophy, divination, calendar, traditional Chinese medicine and sociology.

The five elements mean that the ancients divided everything in the universe into five things: wood, fire, earth, gold and water, which are called "five elements"

See the dialogue between Ji Zi and Zhou Wuwang recorded in Shang Shu Hong Fan: "Five elements: water, fire, wood, gold and earth. Water is wet (moist), fire is burning (burning), wood is straight (bent, loose), gold leather (dense composition, easy to divide), soil fertilizer (meaning sowing and harvesting). Moisturizing is salty, inflammation is bitter, straight is sour, leather is spicy, and farming is sweet. "

Here we not only classify everything in the universe, but also define the nature and characteristics of each category, which is the five elements in our life.
