What are the colors of Yin-Yang and Five Elements?
What are the colors of Yin-Yang and Five Elements? There are all kinds of colors in the world, and different colors have different visual impacts on us, and colors are closely related to the five elements. So what color are Yin-Yang and Five Elements? Let me take you to find out!
What are the colors of Yin-Yang and Five Elements? 1 1, Yin-Yang and Five Elements Theory and Modern Chromatics
People in China believe that color itself is an important factor in the formation of the universe. This idea is based on the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements formed at the end of the Western Han Dynasty in BC 1 century. The five elements are the material basis of all things in the universe, which can be summarized as the five elements, namely "gold, wood, water, fire and earth".
Shang Shu Hong Fan records: "Five elements, one is water, the other is fire, the third is wood, the fourth is gold, and the fifth is earth." The theory of five elements combines the theory of five numbers with colorless and the theory that the five elements coexist and resist each other, forming the traditional color aesthetic system of China-the five elements color science.
In the history of China, there has never been a theory of "Five Elements Chromatics" in traditional culture, modern theoretical circles and aesthetic circles, but in fact, under the guidance of Five Elements Chromatics, a fixed China Chromatics system with China traditional cultural connotation has already been formed.
The colors of gold, wood, water, fire and earth mentioned in the five elements are: gold is white, wood is blue, water is black, fire is red and soil is yellow, and the corresponding five elements are: wood is east, fire is south, gold is west, water is north and soil is middle.
2. the relationship between yin-yang, five elements and color
According to the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the five elements, namely wood, fire, water, gold and earth, can coexist and control each other.
The "wood" in the five elements corresponds to cyan. Then the human viscera corresponds to the liver and gallbladder.
The "fire" in the five elements corresponds to red. Then the heart and small intestine correspond to the fire of human viscera.
The "earth" in the five elements corresponds to yellow. Then the viscera of the human body corresponds to the spleen and stomach.
The "gold" in the five elements corresponds to white. Then the soil corresponding to the human viscera is the large intestine and lungs.
The "water" in the five elements corresponds to black. Then the human viscera corresponds to the bladder and kidney.
Alternate: wood fires, fire produces soil, soil produces gold, and gold produces water, aquatic wood.
Xiangke: Mu, Tukeshui, Wei, Huo and Jin Kemu.
These are the key points and outlines. When we eat, we can also choose food according to our physical condition and color.
For example, if you want to tonify the kidney, you can eat more black food, such as black sesame seeds, black rice, black beans and fungus.
If you feel disharmony between the spleen and stomach, you can eat more yellow food, such as bananas, millet and yellow pepper.
In short, if you pay attention to your diet every day, it is better to eat some foods of various colors every day.

4. Why should the five elements of color be divided into yin and yang?
Many people choose colors according to the five elements of their birthdays: Happy E Lai. For example, people who like fire in the five elements will choose the colors corresponding to the five elements of fire, namely red, purple and pink.
But many people don't know that there are actually two dimensions when defining a birth: one is to like and avoid gods, that is, XiShen (dual-purpose god) and avoid gods; The other is the god of good or ill luck, that is, the god of good luck (also known as the normal ten gods) and the god of evil (also known as the partial ten gods).
Why do you need two dimensions? This is the theory of yin and yang, because many things are not black and white, nor are they either good or bad.
For a simple example, your child doesn't study hard and is addicted to games all day, which makes you feel broken. Is your child your XiShen or jealous?
It is said that Xi Shen really doesn't let you worry, and even makes you angry; Suppose he is jealous of God. After all, he is your child, and your blood runs through him.
He just makes you love and hate. Then, this is obviously not a single dimension that can be clearly expressed by Western gods or jealousy.
This is why birthdays have both happiness and jealousy, as well as good luck and bad luck.
And a pair of auspicious gods and fierce gods belong to the five elements. For example, if poplar is an auspicious god, then Yin Mu must be an evil god; If poplar is an evil soul, then Yin Mu must be an auspicious soul.
This is why the five elements of color should be divided into yin and yang.
5. The culture behind color
China culture behind color is the traditional concept of color in China. Our views on color are different from those of other countries, nations or religions.
Color, everyone will come into contact with in life every day, but many times, it is not busy. People pay attention to it. So, what is the use of knowing traditional color knowledge for our own life?
In fact, there is a lot to be done, from observing the situation of the times to improving the quality of life to understanding the traditional colors, which is a key to open the door to China culture.
Color is essentially a cultural phenomenon. Ancient colors may be mysterious to modern people, because thousands of colors in the world are contained in the cosmic framework system of yin and yang and five elements.
Yin-Yang and Five Elements are China's unique ideology and culture. Everything in the universe is rooted in Tao. Tao is one, Yin and Yang are two. Tao gives birth to yin and yang, which can sum up everything.
Everything that is bright, upward, positive, fiery, positive, masculine and strong belongs to the category of Yang. On the contrary, dark, downward, negative, cold, negative, female and weak all belong to the category of yin.
Yin and Yang are everywhere: Yang during the day and Yin at night; Work exercise is yang, rest and sleep are yin; The front of the clothes we wear is positive and the back is negative; The theme of a painting is Yang and the background is Yin. In a family, the man is the yang and the woman is the yin; The elder is Yang, and the younger generation is Yin.
