Four seasons correspond to the orientation of yin and yang and five elements

China's traditional culture is always inseparable from the five elements, such as Chinese medicine, martial arts, physiognomy and geomantic omen. They are closely related to Yin and Yang, and the five elements play an indispensable role in traditional culture.

So, which four seasons do Yin-Yang and Five Elements correspond to respectively? Come and have a look with me!

The five elements have ups and downs in every season and direction.

Five elements of wood: vigorous spring, representing the east, heavenly stems as "A and B" and earthly branches as "Yin Chen Mao"

The five elements belong to fire: summer is vigorous, representing due south, heavenly stems are "Ding Bing" and earthly branches are "noon".

The five elements belong to gold: autumn is vigorous, representing the west, the heavenly stem is "Geng Xin" and the earthly branch is "application for permission"

Five elements of water: winter is vigorous, representing the true north direction, the sky is dry and the earth is ugly.

Five elements of soil: the prosperity of the four seasons (Chen, Wei, Xu and Ugliness), the last month of each season, representing the central government, the heavenly stem is "Wuji" and the earthly branch is "Chen Xu Ugliness"

Each season is divided into three months, and the five elements flourish in the four seasons, namely, beginning of spring, Changsha, beginning of autumn and beginning of winter, and there are 18 days before the establishment of the four seasons. That is to say, there are 72 days in Chunmuwang, 72 days in Summer Huowang, 72 days in Autumn Jinwang, 72 days in Winter Shuiwang, and 72 days in the four seasons. The five elements are equally divided throughout the year, totaling 360 days. The above are the seasons and directions represented by Yin-Yang and Five Elements, which you should be familiar with, because Feng Shui numerology, Chinese medicine and so on are inseparable from Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
