The ancients believed that everything in the world was composed of Jin Mu's five elements, and there was a restrictive relationship between them. The five elements are not only closely related to the internal organs of the human body, but also related to animals and plants. Next, let's look at the pictures of the five elements.

What are the five elements in Jin Mu's diagram 1? The Five Elements Theory was created by Zou Yan, a Yin and Yang scholar at the end of the Warring States Period. It refers to five natural forces, namely wood, fire, earth, gold and water. Zou Yan's combination of Yin-Yang and Five Elements had a great influence on the ancient culture of China.

generation among the five elements

The five elements were born in the order of "wood, fire, earth, gold and water".

Wood fires, fire produces soil, native gold, gold produces water, aquatic wood.

The ancients like to use the following metaphor to express the relationship between the two, which is convenient for future generations to understand and remember (but remember, this is just a metaphor, not a principle. ): the tree burns to make a fire, and the fire turns to ashes and becomes soil. There is iron and stone substance under the soil, which turns into gold. When gold melts, it becomes liquid and water. Finally, water is used to plant trees, so aquatic wood.

generation among the five elements

Mutual reciprocity of the five elements is based on "wood, fire, earth, gold and water".

Mu, Tuk Shui, Shui, Huo, Jin Kemu.

For the relationship of mutual respect, the ancients also used a similar metaphor, which is convenient for future generations to understand and remember: trees broke ground, so they broke ground; The water flow is blocked when it meets the land, so the soil blocks the water flow; Fire is extinguished by water, so water can kill fire; Fire melts gold and becomes a device, so fire grams gold; Iron logging, so Jin Kemu.

Five elements produce grams:

The relationship between the five elements can be represented by the following chart:

Above, the red arrow in the outer circle is the relationship of five elements.

And the blue arrow inside is the relationship between the five elements.

The characteristics of the five elements:

The wood owner is kind and affectionate.

Advantages: kindness, faithfulness, kindness and rationality.

Disadvantages: stubborn and extreme, not easy to accommodate.

Fire is the main ritual, impatient and respectful.

Advantages: positive, cheerful and enthusiastic.

Disadvantages: irritable, impulsive, frivolous.

The earth god believes, kind and quiet.

Advantages: integrity, honesty, stability and reliability.

Disadvantages: slow, lazy, lazy, lazy.

Golden principle, lean and keen.

Advantages: energetic, brave and decisive.

Disadvantages: The war is fierce and cruel.

Water is wise, intelligent and active.

Advantages: versatile, smart and alert.

Disadvantages: opportunistic, I don't know how to advance and retreat.

The five elements are restrained:

Wood depends on water, and water makes wood drift.

Fire depends on wood, and wood is full of fire.

Soil depends on fire, and more fire can't burn.

Gold comes from soil, but more soil is buried with gold.

Water is Lai Jinsheng, but gold is much more turbid.

Golden wood, water, fire, earth and five elements are complementary and mutually restrictive.

The five elements refer to the movement and change of water, fire and earth in Jin Mu, and the mutual growth refers to the relationship between them, while the mutual restraint refers to the relationship between them. Even if the self-regulation mechanism of the system they form is an internal operation law.

Jinshui, aquatic wood, Muhuo, Huotu and Tujin are endless;

Jin Kemu, Mutuke, Tukeshui, Shuihuoke and Huojinke are so reciprocal and mutually restrictive.

Any line is in the relationship between life and punishment, "those who gave birth to me"-those who gave birth to me; "I"-"I"

Gold: Gold begets water-native gold; Kinkemu-Huo;

Wood: wood makes a fire-aquatic wood; Muktu-Jin Kemu;

Water: aquatic wood-Jinshengshui; Water is like fire-soil is like water;

Fire: fire produces native gold; Fire grams of gold-water grams of fire;

Soil: native gold-fire-born soil; Tukeshui-Muketu.

Without life, there is no production and development; Without gram, there is no balance restriction, which makes things develop disproportionately, thus leading to the imbalance of ecological relations. So this relationship is an ecological network (relationship network). If a link goes wrong, it will lead to problems in the whole relationship network.

Fire, water, earth and five elements coexist in Jin Mu. Figure 3 The human body has five internal organs, including heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney. The six fu organs are the collective name of six organs: gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, triple energizer and bladder.

The function of the five internal organs is to store essence; The main physiological functions of the six fu-organs are to receive and decompose Shui Gu, secrete turbid qi, transmit essence, and expel the dregs from the body without leaving them.
