What exactly does the "five elements" in fortune telling mean?
The five elements refer to water, fire, wood, gold and earth. According to the theory of five elements, the five elements are the basic material elements that constitute the universe, and all kinds of substances in the universe can be classified according to the attributes of these five basic substances, and there are certain connections between the five elements. Traditional Chinese medicine borrows the theory of five elements to explain the relationship between human body and external environment to supplement the theory of yin and yang.
(1) The five elements are mutually generated, which means that they nurture, promote and encourage each other. Mutual restraint means mutual restraint, restraint and overcoming.
The five principles are: wood makes a fire, fire produces soil, soil produces gold, and gold produces water, aquatic wood. The rules of mutual respect are: Mutuko, Tukeshui, Shuihuoke, Huojinke and Jin Kemu.
In the symbiotic relationship, any "line" has the relationship between "giving birth to me" (mother) and "giving birth to me" (son), which is compared to the relationship between mother and son. Every "line" in the relationship between the two parties has the relationship between "I can overcome" and "I can overcome", which is the so-called relationship between "winning" and "invincible".
The five elements coexist and restrain each other at the same time; There is also a life of mutual restraint. Mutual prosperity and mutual restraint are indispensable conditions for all things to maintain relative balance. So it is normal for the five elements to be restrained. There are too many or too few "lines" in the five elements, and there is an abnormal phenomenon, which will cause the change of multiplication or attack. Take advantage of it; Bullying is bullying. Multiplication is an excessive mutual constraint, which exceeds the degree of normal constraint. Its law is the same as mutual constraint, but the victim is weaker. Opposition means "xiangke", also called xiangke, that is, everything you can defeat is defeated by it, and its law is just the opposite of xiangke. For example, under normal circumstances, the soil is full of water. If the rural spirit is weak, or water evil is rampant, water will invade the soil in turn.
