The theory of five elements holds that there is a connection between things, and this connection promotes the development and change of things. There is a law of mutual growth and resistance between the five elements. Common growth means common growth and common promotion. Mutual restraint means mutual restraint, restraint and inhibition.
The five elements are born together: gold begets water, aquatic wood, wood makes fire, fire begets soil, and soil begets gold.
Wood fire: because the fire uses wood as fuel, when the wood is burned out, the fire will automatically go out;
Fire produces soil: because after fire burns an object, the object becomes ashes, and ashes are soil;
Natural gold: because clay contains gold, it is refined after smelting;
Gold produces water: because if gold is burned, it will dissolve into liquid, and the liquid belongs to water; Water is dredged by iron;
Aquatic wood: Because water irrigates trees, trees can flourish.
The five elements coexist: Jin Kemu, Muketu, Tuke Water, Fire, Water and Fire. The public wins the minority, so water wins the fire; Because fire goes out when it meets water.
Fine wins strength, so fire wins gold; Because fire can dissolve metal.
Just wins softness, so Jin wins wood; Because cutting tools made of metal can cut down trees.
Specializing in scattering, so wood beats soil; Because roots and seedlings are powerful, they can break through the obstacles of soil.
Reality is better than emptiness, and homeland is better than water; Because the soil is waterproof.
Mutual growth and mutual restriction, just like yin and yang, are two inseparable aspects of things. Without life, there would be no occurrence and growth of things. Without gram, it is impossible to maintain the balance and coordination in the development and change of things. There is no mutual assistance without mutual assistance, and there is no mutual assistance without mutual assistance. This mutually beneficial relationship promotes and maintains the normal growth, development and change of things. "Natural machines cannot be born, nor can they be manufactured uncontrollably. It develops irrationally, and it is harmful to do nothing. " ("Similar Figure Wing")
Confrontation and anti-aggression
If the relationship between the five elements is abnormal, the coordination of things will be destroyed and abnormal changes will occur, which are manifested in natural disasters and human diseases.
The abnormal phenomena between the five elements are mainly "excessive multiplication" and "anti-aggression"
When you get carried away, things get very, very high. Everything can't be higher. Take advantage of the situation, take it by surprise, bully the weak and fear the hard, and resist the other side too much.
In the anti-aggression, there are not only shunke but also anti-ke in the five elements, such as the decline and strength of Kelly. Such as: the soil is flourishing and the wood is declining, and the wood is from the soil; Wang Mu gold fell, and gold was subject to Muk; Water decays and fire flourishes, and water suffers from fire; Soil declines and water flourishes, and soil is affected by water; Wang Jin's fire dropped, and the fire was influenced by Jinke. This kind of resistance is called anti-gram, also called anti-humiliation. Resist bullying and bully in turn.
