What are the attributes of the five elements?
First, the understanding of nature.
The meaning of gold corresponds to two metals, such as copper and iron, which are sharp and cold because they belong to cutting objects. So it corresponds to the "autumn" of the four seasons. Autumn harvests everything. This is why it is golden autumn. It also represents the moon in the sky, the so-called silver hook and silver plate.
The meaning of wood is not only big trees and big grass, but also wooden furniture. Because spring is full of vitality, wood corresponds to the "spring" in the four seasons.
When is the most powerful water? Not in spring and summer, but in winter, when it freezes, it reaches freezing cold in both volume and hardness, so water corresponds to winter.
Fire is easy to understand. It is hot and naturally belongs to summer. Almost everything that glows and gives off heat can be classified as fire, such as the sun.
What if there is one more soil? Just in the months when the four seasons alternate, such as spring and March, the wood turns to fire, and the wood fire is weak, so the soil will flourish-this is called the four seasons to send prosperity. At the same time, soil also represents mountains!
Second: the description of people themselves.
The five elements were invented by people and will eventually serve others themselves. Therefore, the five elements are related to people themselves. Humanity, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith are the five characteristics that embody people's own characteristics.
Woodenhead, you ren. Golden people represent righteousness. Representative ceremony of fire type people. Water-type people represent wisdom. Aboriginal people represent faith.
The man asked, "What kind of Woodenhead?" ? Bian Xiao can only say, one, you can push it back. If someone is kind, you can say that he is a Woodenhead. Second, it involves the category of fortune telling. Fortune-telling used to have a four-pillar personality, and the daily work reflected the self, so if the daily work was A or B, it was Woodenhead, and the rest were analogies-of course, let's have fun with it.
At the same time, Chinese medicine also introduced this concept for human internal organs and so on. For example, the heart belongs to fire, the liver belongs to wood, the lung belongs to gold, the spleen belongs to earth, and the kidney belongs to water.
Therefore, the essential attribute of the five elements is to convey the unity and indivisibility of nature and human beings. It expresses people's cognitive state of nature and self.
