About the Five Elements
The Five Elements is an important concept in ancient Chinese philosophy. It is an induction and interpretation of the basic elements and their interrelationships that constitute all things in the universe. It contains profound cultural connotations and cosmic wisdom.
I. The basic concept
The five elements refer to the five basic substances or elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The ancients believed that all things in the universe were composed of these five basic elements and constantly developed and changed under their interaction.
II. Characteristics
Wood: It has the characteristics of growth, growth, and smoothness. Anything or phenomenon with such characteristics can be classified as a wooden row.
Fire: with warm, rising, bright and other characteristics, like things with heat, light, upward and other attributes, mostly belong to fire.
Soil: It has the characteristics of biochemistry, bearing, and acceptance, and has the function of nurturing and nourishing all things, representing the power of tolerance and biochemistry.
Gold: With the characteristics of chilling, convergence, settlement, etc., things related to the hardness, sharpness, and transformation of metals are often classified as gold.
Water: It has the characteristics of moisturizing, descending, cooling, and closed storage. All things or phenomena with the characteristics of flowing, moisturizing, and cooling can be classified as water travel.
III. The relationship between mutual growth and mutual restraint
Symbiosis: refers to the relationship between the five elements that promote each other and support each other, specifically wood generates fire, fire generates earth, native gold, gold generates water, and aquatic wood
Compromise: It means that there is a relationship of mutual restriction and mutual restraint between the five elements, that is, wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes gold, and gold overcomes wood.
IV. Application
The theory of the five elements is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, numerology, feng shui, divination and other fields. In traditional Chinese medicine, the five elements correspond to the five internal organs, five organs, and five senses of the human body, and are used to explain physiological and pathological phenomena and guide the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In the fields of numerology and feng shui, the five elements are used to calculate people’s fate and judge the good or bad of the environment.
V. The five elements and incense beads
The thought of the five elements has been fully applied in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs of the human body correspond to the five elements: the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to soil, the lungs belong to metal, and the kidneys belong to water. Fragrance beads can achieve the purpose of health and peace of mind by adjusting the balance of the five elements. This overall concept and dialectical thinking coincide with the development trend of modern medicine.
VI. The five elements and crystals
Using the principle of five elements, crystal matching can enhance energy. Such as wood fire, green ghost with redstone can make energy smoother. Fire, redstone with citrine can promote energy flow. Native gold, citrine with white crystal can increase energy. Gold raw water, white crystal with aquamarine can enhance energy. Aquatic wood, aquamarine with green ghost can enhance energy.
If the five elements appear to resist each other, such as wood and soil, gold white crystal can be added between green crystal and citrine, and gold and wood can be used to relieve the resistance and play a balancing role.
