What are the five complementary elements?

"Life" means mutual development, mutual education, mutual promotion and mutual encouragement. "gram" means to contain, restrict and restrain each other. The birth of the five elements shows that the movement and change of things are not isolated and separated, but a connected and related whole. In human body, it is mainly used to reflect the relationship between viscera in normal physiological process.

The coexistence of five elements means that wood, fire, earth, gold and water develop, encourage, stimulate and promote each other, such as wood fire, fire earth, native gold, golden water and aquatic wood. In this relationship, any line has its own two aspects: giving birth to me and giving birth to me. People compare this relationship to a mother-child relationship, that is, my mother gave birth to me and my son gave birth to me.

Take Jin Xing as an example, because Jin was born in his native land, and his native land is the "mother" of gold; But gold begets water, so gold is the "mother" of water, that is to say, water is the "son" of gold. This is the mother-child relationship in the five elements.

Mutual meaning of five elements:

Wood makes a fire because it is warm, and the fire is hidden inside.

Fire can burn wood because heat produces soil. Wood turns to ash when burned, and ash is soil, so fire produces soil.

Gold comes from earth, because it needs to be hidden in stones and attached to mountains. It comes from Tianjin. When soil gathers into mountains, stones will come from mountains, so they come from soil.

Gold produces water because the temperature of the yin is moist, gold depends on water, and forged gold can also be turned into water, so gold produces water.

Aquatic wood, because the water is warm and humid and trees grow, aquatic wood.
