Zhouyi bagua fengshui
Eight diagrams is the ancient ancestors' understanding of nature, and the five elements are the understanding of nature during the Warring States period, and different times take different views of nature. And gossip is the image of nature, and the five elements are the image of yin and yang, so it is different. Eight diagrams can also be matched with five elements, such as doing things for heaven and doing five things for gold; Kun is the land, and five acts are the soil; The shock is thunder, and the five actions are wood; Change ze, five acts of gold; Xun is the wind, and five behaviors are wood; Roots are mountains, and five behaviors are soil; Separation is fire, ridge is water, and the five elements are fire and water respectively. This is because Gan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan and Li all have five elements of images. See Shuo Gua for details. But why are the five elements not water but gold? It is because the ancients took fire and water as disasters, so the five elements of gossip, water and fire are all one, and the others are all two. For example, Kungen is earth and the earthquake is wood, so the exchange is a group of harmony, and the five acts are gold.
