Chapter 072 Five Elements, Yin and Yang

In ancient times, there were six houses of wood, fire, earth, metal, water, and grain in charge of affairs. After King You of Zhou Dynasty abolished the grain house, the "five materials" were gradually formed.

It is recorded in "Guoyu·Luyu" and "Zuo Zhuan·The 32nd Year of Zhaogong" that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the five elements were basically determined. There were the sun, moon, stars and three stars in the sky, and the five elements on the ground.

"Five Elements" is about the presentation and continuous operation of nature. The so-called "walking", Zheng Xuan noted: "Walking means moving Qi in accordance with the sky."

The "Five Elements" mentioned in "Shangshu" have a certain symbolic meaning - "Xing".

"Xing" refers to nothing more than a natural "operation", which is continuous movement according to a rule inherent in its own presentation, and is a natural behavior.

Therefore, when Gunji flooded, the emperor was furious because this was an act that violated the laws of nature. The destiny came to Yu because Yu took advantage of the situation to control the water. The nature of water is basically flow. If you block the flow to control it, it will naturally destroy the nature of water and become bad. The nature of nature will definitely arouse the wrath of heaven, and therefore the resentment of people. Therefore, Xia Qi attacked the Hu family and believed that the crusade he carried out was "only to fulfill the punishment of heaven respectfully. If the left does not attack the left, you are not respecting the order." If the right side does not attack the right side, you will not respect your orders..."

To sum up, it can be clearly understood that the "Five Elements" means the movement of all things; it means the origin of all things. What the ancients said above actually expresses a thought: If you do not follow the "Five Elements", you will be abandoned by the destiny just like Hu and Gun!

Yin and Yang are the basic laws of the universe, and everything in the universe is produced by the interaction of Yin and Yang.

The traditional concept is that yin and yang represent the most basic oppositional relationship of all things, such as heaven and earth, sun and moon, male and female, up and down, positive and negative, etc. The concept of "yin and yang" is summarized by analogy with philosophical thinking to reflect the opposition between the two contradictory parties. Unity, growth and decline, mutual roots.

Only a few of them are in line with the extended meaning of Qian Yang, Kun Yin, such as the sun is bright and the moon is dark, men are strong and women are soft, etc.; from this, the classification of Yin and Yang is specious, such as the representative classification of Yin and Yang such as water, fire, cold and heat, movement, stillness, clearness, and turbidity. In fact, it is an artificial definition - it has the logic of hot day and cold night, and the alternation of growth and decline, rather than the original intention of Yili.

According to Mr. Bie Shifu's interpretation, the essence of the relationship between yin and yang is natural philosophy - inverse square conservation, which has specific physical meanings - expansion and gathering: in terms of state, it is nothingness and existence, and its binary mathematics is 0 and 1; In terms of energy state, it is development and potential.

Yang is the potential state of a 1-power quantity, and Yin is the unfolded state of a 2-power quantity. For example, spin is the potential kinetic energy, and the physical quantity is the angular frequency w; revolution is the unfolded kinetic energy, and the physical quantity is shown as v2.

The simplest mathematical expression of the relationship between yin and yang can only be the conservation of Xy2; and the Five Elements give X\y2 specific physical meaning - a worthy name: "False "Yi" is enlightened by a lamp, how many times can it renew reincarnation"; the Tao can be said : The cycle of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

The innate Bagua reflects the classification of basic physical energy situations (heavenly stems, such as kinetic energy): for example, stems represent spin (G), Dui represents centripetal (Gui) rotation (Xin), Kan represents frequency (Ren), and Li represents wavelength (D). , shock is the electric potential (A) and current (C), Sunda is the amplitude of the electric field (B), Gen is the magnetic sphere material (E), and Kun is the standing wave force field (J). Among them, A's electricity and V's magnetism, symplectic motion (kinetic energy) and B's vibration (potential energy) are mirror images of each other.

The acquired Bagua reflects the material state corresponding to the energy state (earthly branches, such as momentum), and the Hetu is a tool for distinguishing the four physical phenomena: Shaoyin, Shaoyang, Taiyin, and Sun are the material basis of the Bagua, and are related to the five elements of matter. Xiang Weichen and Chou Xu correspond one to one. Later generations attached the four images to metal, wood, water and fire, which is actually not the original meaning of the five elements.

Therefore, Bagua is the classification (meridian) of natural physical quantities, while Yin-Yang and Five Elements summarize the mathematical relationships (latitude) between various physical quantities.

The combination of the five elements can be literally translated as a physical equation, summarizing the fundamental operating rules of the universe. A system that is naturally balanced and self-repairing must have all the eight trigrams and the five elements in motion - just like the human body (Luo Shu Hologram).

According to textual research, the Five Elements had their roots in the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty. There is a saying of "four directions" in oracle bone inscriptions. It is not difficult to see that the Shang Dynasty advocated the center, so there was the concept of five directions. The four directions plus a center are the five directions.

Zhang Qicheng believes that the concept of the five directions is the Chinese people's awakening to space issues, and the Five Elements were born.

The word "Xing" in the Five Elements is a space.

In the Yin Ruins of "Xiaotun Village" in Anyang, there is an ancient emperor's tomb called the "Inverted Pyramid".

The shape of the mausoleum is layer by layer, with larger ones at the top and smaller ones at the bottom. When it reaches the bottom, it looks like the Asian word "亚", with a coffin in the middle. This shape is like an inverted pyramid.

According to expert research, this "Ya" is the four directions, and adding the middle is the five directions.

It is mentioned in the book "Five Elements to Know People" that the appearance of a large number of "Ya" characters in the oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions of the Yin Ruins is the beginning of the Five Elements. Therefore, the Shang Dynasty had the perspective of the five parties and advocated the "center".

...

Here comes a new question, how should he do it?

The answer is the Five Elements.

As mentioned before, after Zhou Wenwen came back, he launched the "Five Elements Dayan Gong", which allowed many people to practice and was no longer limited to a single Lihuo

The most important theory of the Five Elements in "Five Elements Dayan Gong" was accidentally discovered, deduced and realized step by step by Zhou Wenwen during the process of solving erysipelas and using Lihuo to make elixirs.

The Five Elements, also known as the Five Elements Theory, is the basic way for ancient Chinese people to understand the world. It has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, horoscopes, numerology, physiognomy, and divination.

The source of the Five Elements is the totem concept of "animism" and ancestor worship in ancient times.

Confucius's Five Elements Thoughts can be found in the chapter "Liyun", which records that Confucius taught Ziyou how to operate rituals.

The meaning of the five elements includes five basic dynamics through the evolution process of yin and yang: metal - represents gathering, wood - represents growth, water - represents infiltration, fire - represents destruction, and earth - represents fusion.

Even ancient domestic philosophers tried to use the Five Elements Theory to explain the formation of all things in the world and their interrelationships.

Because it emphasizes the whole and aims to describe the movement form and transformation relationship of things.

Yin and Yang is the ancient theory of the unity of opposites, which believes that the five elements are the original system theory.

The five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Mutual growth means mutual nourishment, promotion and reinforcement, and mutual restraint means mutual restriction and inhibition.

Among them, they believe that the five elements of wood are divided into yin and yang, the armor wood is yang, corresponding to the gallbladder, and the wood on the ground is its shape, which is a trunk, a branch, a leaf, and a spore, and its shape is upward and outward.

Yi wood is yin and related to the liver.

Based on their understanding of the five elements, later generations created the theory of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements. This theory is mainly based on the law of "the generation and restraint of the five elements".

Mutual generation refers to the relationship between two types of things with different attributes that help and promote each other. Specifically, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood.
