Based on the five elements

More perfect with the theory of five elements theory and extension, the five elements concept in people's minds gradually accepted, people began to use named after the five elements theory as a theoretical basis, with five elements theory.Five elements theory of the universe, are made by wood, fire, earth, metal and water the operation of the five basic substance (movement) and change.It emphasizes that the overall concept, describes the relationship of structure and the movement form things.If there is a kind of ancient theory of the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang, five elements, can be said to be a primitive general system theory.

Five elements theory was used to study the social phenomenon in long ago, during the warring states period, jar, Shouting "there will be a Wang Zhexing" in five hundred, his "historicism", is influenced by the theory of five elements.

Chinese traditional culture, the Yin and Yang five elements theory is very important, a very profound effect theory.

, the five elements refer to wood, fire, earth, metal and water five kinds of substances.Yin and Yang five lines of theoretical model includes many natural phenomenon and social phenomenon, such as five colours (green, red, yellow, white, black), channel (Angle, micro, palace, shang and feather), five tastes (sour, bitter,

Sweet, bitter and salty), the five internal organs (liver, heart, spleen, lung, kidney), and the five permanent members (benevolence, righteousness, propriety, faith, intelligence) and so on.

Five elements theory is simple materialism and dialectics.Actually, not just to play an important role in the development of natural science in ancient China, and the Chinese society and people life also had a significant influence.The following five lines do some simple introduction, let everybody can have a more profound understanding on the five elements.

(1) the characteristics of the five elements

(1) the characteristics of wood."Wood matters and yue"."Song", also;"Straight", and also."Pass", refers to the branches of the trees have grown, soft, straight to curved and characteristics, therefore, to everyone who has growth, fu, article, happy nature or function, all belongs to wood.

"Lip", refers to the characteristics of the water to moisten downward.So to everyone who has moist, downward, cold, closed hidden nature or function, such as category in water.

(2) the five lines of classification of things

Five elements tune five colored five of five gas five parties five season five zang-organs five relieving facial features of modern form channel change Angle of wood acid green gave birth to the east wind in the spring of courage mesh reinforcement anger shout with bitter red long south in the summer heat, fire heart small intestine sorrow GongGan yellow soil wet tongue veins laughter long summer taste mouth meat Hui ShangXin white gold circles accept dry west autumn lung e. nasal skin sad cry salty water feather black Tibetan cold northern winter kidney bladder ear bones will groan chestnut

(3) the relationship of the five elements

The relationship of the five elements, the most basic is that life and phase relationship.The sages in ancient China the five kinds of substance in the daily life to illustrate the unity of the world, the origin of all things and diversity, puts forward the principle of "based on the five elements".

Phase, is one of the five elements of a substance to another substance breeding, encourage and promote relations, such as wood to fire, fire generates, native gold, gold water, aquatic wood.

Phase grams, is one of the five elements to another line of restraint, the relationship between constraints, such as wood, earth, earth, water, fire, water, fire, metal, metal restricting wood.

That life and phase grams is wood, fire, earth, metal and water five kinds of material, the basic relationship between each row is another line of breeding, feeding, again by another line of restraint, restraint.

Between five elements multiplication and phase; all are born restraint between the five elements relations after destruction phenomenon of abnormal phase grams, both can be made of any line in the five lines of "too" or "less".

Multiplied by the order of the recursive phase restraint between the five elements, the phase threat is contrary to the order of the five lines of mismatched and phenomenon of the g.Without multiplication, phase can appear at the same time.

Lu a little bit a novel had been involved in "hometown" in a way named after the five elements theory.In his novels

Deep blue sky hung with a golden circle month, below is the sand of the sea.All kinds of the endless green watermelon, during which there is a young people at the age of 11, 2, a silver ring, hand a knife steel fork, to thrust a horse Cha try my best, but the Cha will a twist, the escaped from his legs.This boy is RunTu.I had heard the name RunTu, and knew that he and I seem to age, leap month, five line lack of soil, so his father sent him RunTu."

RunTu name, is based on the theory of five elements.With five elements theory, named the wisdom of the ancient China have occurred and names, which on the other hand, the name for most Chinese is a very important thing.

The han dynasty period, people are keen to begets five lines.Five line of order, therefore, was to replace the concept phase grams of the five elements, and is used to mark the change in the history of the dynasty.Begets five lines of sequence are used to explain the evolution of history, become a kind of fashion.

Initially, people with five elements to represent the historical change of dynasties, found that use of the doctrine of the five elements was born on behalf of the father and son

The relationship between the more orderly and conform to the truth.

Then in the tang dynasty, some people named has adopted five lines of order, take a gold, wood, water, fire and earth Chinese character component name of the word, author has been passed in the family pecking order.If father earth words next to the name, the name of the son, and he took gold, grandson will name beside water word.According to five line phase sequence, native gold, gold water.

Named after the song dynasty period, the five elements theory is used to more examples.Insistance of song dynasty neo-confucianism, for example, one of the founders of zhu xi and, using the theory of five elements.Zhu xi's father named c, pine is the wood beside the word;Zhu xi's name under the character "xi" is not the water at 4 o 'clock, but the fire, because said wen jie zi "interpretation of the cloud:" xi, acupuncture is also."Was meant to barbecue, called the son of zhu zhu, is the soil beside the word.Three generations of a wood fire, fire generates, order is restored.

Using phase are named after the example, the five elements are not rare in history, and mostly occurs in the family of social elites.

People use named begets this way, the five elements reflected the concept of people at that time a survival, is a reflection of the Chinese wisdom.

Using the theory of five elements named, not only implied, for progeny's intentions, and are influenced by Confucianism deep Chinese provides a theoretical basis on the name.A few names together, constitute the five lines of operation mode, both solved the existence descendants of later generations a perennial demand, and for the idea of life and afterlife, later generations fate, opened up a channel concept of cycle of cause and effect.

For ordinary people, although there are children, endless desire, but its low low social status, to make them with the desire of the order in the five elements compared with high social status, good living, hope forever, long children rich upper-class people desire in weak light a lot.They are more in real life, desire to change themselves or the fate of the successors.

They on naming, ranking attaches great importance to the sequence of the five elements is not enough, and the relative importance to themselves or their offspring of qi, and try to use of Yin and Yang five elements theory, by naming to achieve an offset, five line lack of make up for their own or their offspring.

The ancient Chinese philosophy of "nature and humanity", emphasis on "heaven" and "humanity", "natural" and "human".More modern people put this theory as the basis for harmony between man and natural Oriental culture.Although the "nature and humanity"

Later caused a feudal mysterious doctrine "induction between heaven and man", but pays attention to the relationship between human and nature, after all, there is a scientific reason.

Using the theory of five elements to consider man of genius, and according to the genius of the five elements of named, is China's Confucian theory, named after the development of a birth horoscope.
