What do you think the five elements lack?

Five elements; Gold (gold), wood (wood), water (water), fire (fire) and earth (earth)

The Five Elements is China's ancient material view. Mostly used in philosophy, Chinese medicine and divination. The five elements refer to: gold, wood, water, fire and 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 composed 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.

The word "five elements" first appeared in Shangshu by Shi Gan and Hong Fan. In Shi Gan, it means that "Hu Shi threatened the five elements, neglected the three meanings, and destroyed his life by heaven". "Hong Fan" pointed out that "guns are flooding, and five elements of Chen Qi are gurgling; The emperor was furious and couldn't destroy the nine realms of Hong Fan ... Gun died, Yu Naisi flourished, the sky was in the nine realms of Hong Fan, Yi Lun and He ... Five elements: water, fire, wood, gold and earth. The "five elements" have been clearly defined as water, fire, wood, gold and earth in Hong Fan, and are considered to be the first. In Zhou Youwang, the "five elements" are considered as five matrices that make up everything. There are also "five elements" in Zuozhuan. Here, he is regarded as a "native five elements", which is closely related to the "five materials" and the reproduction of the earth. Traditionally, Shang Shu Hong Fan and Shang Shu Shi Gan are works of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Because there are few "five elements" in the works before the Warring States period, the ancient skepticism school thinks that the works with "five elements" before the Warring States period must be forgeries of later generations. This argument is inappropriate. Nie Wentao pointed out that the "five materials" mentioned in Zuo Zhuan is the application or extension of the five elements thought, not the origin of the five elements theory. "Materials" did not mean "doing" in the Spring and Autumn Period. " Zuo Zhuan: "Five talents are born, and people can use them and abandon them", which shows the great influence of the theory of "Five Elements". "Five elements" are mentioned in Sun Tzu of the same period of Zuo Zhuan, and it is difficult for skeptics to prove that Sun Tzu is a fake in the late Warring States period. Skeptics in ancient times once assumed that Shangshu was a work of Han Dynasty, but bamboo slips from Guodian Chu Tomb proved that Shangshu was not a fake of Han Dynasty. To be sure, in the late Warring States period, the idea of five elements winning each other (grams) was put forward, which fixed the order of victory (grams) and fate, formed a mode of contradictory unity between things, and embodied the internal structural relationship and the idea of overall grasp. Because 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. "Five elements" are related to the presentation and continuous operation of nature. The so-called "line", Zheng Xuan noted: "Qi Tian, Shun Tian also. The "five elements" mentioned in Shangshu have a certain symbolic meaning-"line". What "line" refers to is nothing more than a natural "operation" and a natural behavior that keeps moving according to a rule inherent in its own presentation. Therefore, whenever there is a flood, the emperor will get angry, because it is against the laws of nature. Destiny fell on Yu because Yu guided the situation to control water, and water-based nature is basically flowing. Blocking the flow to control it will naturally destroy the water-based nature, which will inevitably lead to the wrath of heaven and therefore arouse people's resentment. Therefore, Xia Qi's Crusade is considered as "a Crusade". "To sum up, we can clearly understand that the' five elements' are material movements; It means Lord of all things. What the ancients said above is actually expressing an idea: if you don't follow the "five elements", you will be abandoned by fate like a husband and widow! Although a bit idealistic, it is not unreasonable. Let nature take its course and guide the situation according to the situation, which will be smoother than blindly and recklessly.

The origin of rumors

Bagua originated from China's ancient thoughts about the formation of the basic universe, the rotation relationship between the earth and the sun, and the combination of agricultural society and life philosophy. The original data source is the Book of Changes in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which contains 64 hexagrams, but no images. "Yi Zhuan" records that "it is easy to have Tai Chi, and two instruments are born. Two instruments give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip. " The two instruments are yin and yang, which can be extended to heaven and earth, day and night, and the difference between men and women. These four images are Shaoyin, Shaoyang, Taiyin and Sun. In different periods, it can correspond to four directions, four seasons and four elephants respectively. Qinglong lives in the east, with the spirit of spring, and shaoyang is the main one; Suzaku lives in the south, the breath of summer, the sun is the master; The white tiger lives in the west, with autumn qi and less yin; Xuanwu is located in the north, and the atmosphere in winter is mainly lunar. The four seasons of health care also correspond to: birth, growth, harvest and hiding. Eight diagrams, that is, dry, Kun, Xun, exchange, gen, earthquake, separation, Kan. Representing heaven and earth respectively. Some scholars in the Song Dynasty thought that the four images played eight diagrams (directions) and eighty-eight generated sixty-four hexagrams, which was Fuxi Eight Diagrams, also called innate gossip; Some scholars believe that gossip should come from Zhou Wenwang's theory of feeling Kun. He believes that the intersection of heaven and earth produces everything, and heaven is dry and earth is Kun. The other six hexagrams of gossip are their children: Zhen is the eldest male, Kan is the middle male, and Gen (pronounced in Mandarin: gè n; Cantonese: gan3, the same as "Jin") is a boy; Xun (Mandarin pronunciation: xù n; Cantonese: seon3, the same as "Xin") is the eldest daughter, and it is the gossip of Wang Wenzhi, also known as the gossip of the day after tomorrow. The eight diagrams symbols usually appear together with the Taiji diagram, which represents the ultimate truth of China's traditional belief (Confucianism and Taoism): "Tao". The "hexagram" of eight diagrams is a cognitive word, which comes from Gui Cong Bu. Gui, referring to Tu Gui, began to measure the shadow of the sun with mud columns. Bu, the meaning of measurement. Set up eight diagrams to measure the sun shadow, that is, summarize and record the observed sun shadow from the four corners to form the image of eight diagrams. The most basic unit of gossip is hexagram, which is mostly a special symbol describing the change of sun shadow. There are two kinds of yin and yang. Yang represents sunshine and Yin represents moonlight. Each hexagram has three hexagrams, representing three talents in heaven and earth. The celestial part of the three talents, including the whole celestial movement and meteorological changes, was called astronomy in ancient times. Terrain refers to the method of calculating the annual cycle by observing the sun shadow and understanding the whole process of growth and collection by using the principle of land use. The human sector refers to the combination of astronomy, geography and personnel in order to carry out production and life according to these laws. The arrangement order of each hexagram is from bottom to top, the bottom horizontal line is called the first hexagram, the middle horizontal line is called the second hexagram, and the last horizontal line is called the third hexagram. Eight diagrams represent eight basic images: dry represents heaven, Kun represents earth, earthquake represents thunder, Xun represents wind, gen represents mountain, exchange represents ze, ridge represents water, and separation represents fire. They are always called classics, and the arrangement of two of the eight classics constitutes sixty-four hexagrams.
