The water of the five elements matches the wisdom of the five virtues, why?

"The Book of Changes" talks about image, number, and theory, among which "number" is the calendar number, which is the time of day. The time of day determines the end of the journey of all things, so Confucius said "time is also destiny". The saint divides the journey of all things into five stages, called the "five elements", which are represented by wood, fire, earth, gold, and water. Among them, "wood" represents the stage of growth of all things; "fire" represents the stage of prosperity; "earth" represents the stage of nurturing offspring when all things rise and fall; "gold" represents the stage when all things retreat and harvest; "water" represents The stage of closing all things and returning to their destiny. One life, one fall. Life conforms to nature, as everything has five elements. If a person follows the five elements, he is blessed by God, and there is no disadvantage to good fortune. The five elements of life, each stage has different characteristics and actions in each stage, so the saint summed up the five virtues of man and matched it with the five elements. The five virtues are benevolence, rituals, faith, righteousness, and wisdom, among which benevolence is matched with wood, ritual is matched with fire, faith is matched with earth, righteousness is matched with gold, and wisdom is matched with water. Let's first talk about why water is wisely distributed below.

When talking about the five virtues with the five elements, the most inseparable thing is Tianshi. "Yi" takes the time of stems and branches, and Jianyin as the head of the year. Among them, Yin, Mao, and Chen are spring, Si, Wu, and Wei are summer, Shen, You, and Xu are autumn, and Hai, Zi, and Chou are winter. According to the five element attributes of , Mao and Chen belong to wood; Si and Wu belong to fire; Wei and Shen belong to Xiantu; You and Xu belong to gold; Hai and Zi belong to water; Ugly and Yin belong to hidden soil. "Yi" uses the six yao hexagrams to deduce the principles of the world. The sixty-four hexagrams all have their own time, and the twelve message hexagrams are the source hexagrams of the sixty-four hexagrams, and the sixty-four hexagrams are all derived from the twelve message hexagrams. Therefore, the twelve message hexagrams represent the time of the year and twelve months. Among them, "Lin" is the Yin hexagram, "Thai" is the Mao hexagram, "Dazhuang" is the Chen hexagram, "夬" is the Si hexagram, "Gan" is the noon hexagram, "姤" is the Wei hexagram, and "遁" is the Shen hexagram , "No" is the unitary hexagram, "Guan" is the Xu hexagram, "Fei" is the Hai hexagram, "Kun" is the Zi hexagram, and "Fu" is the ugly hexagram.

Golden water.There was Haishui first, and Haishui came from Xujin. Therefore, when talking about Haishui, first look at Xu Jin. The twelve news hexagram representing Xu Jin is "Guan Gua". "Guan Gua" is a news hexagram. "Guan Gua" and the time of the Gua changed is Xu. "Xu" represents the month of the season of autumn in the year, the solar term is , cold dew, frost, and Xuzheng is the frost day; "Xu" also represents the evening of the day, the time is between 19 and 21 o'clock, Xu Zheng That is 20 o'clock. The five elements in Guan Gua are metal and will be transformed into water. According to the sixty-four hexagram change system, "Guan Gua" will become " Meng Gua ", and then "Meng Gua" will become "Solution Gua". The theme of "Meng Gua" is to talk about enlightenment education. "Meng" is the state of ignorance. Enlightenment is the development of wisdom, which is the beginning of intelligence. Xu belongs to gold and is the origin of wisdom, righteousness is matched with gold, gold will produce water, and righteousness will be transformed into wisdom, so wisdom is matched with water.

" Preface Gua Zhuan " says: "Materials must be deceived, so they must be received by "Meng". Those who are deceived are also deprived, and things are immature." This shows that "Meng Gua" is Refers to the next generation of people or everything is in the childish (childhood) stage. A childish thing is naive and ignorant, like the source of water, clear and untainted, like a piece of white paper, without writing yet. Enlightenment education plays a key role in whether life is wonderful or not, so "Meng Gua" talks about education.

"Meng Gua" is a change from "Guan Gua". The time of the sky is Xu. At that time, the five elements are metal and gradually transformed into water. Human virtues emphasize righteousness and gradually tend to emphasize wisdom. The season has reached late autumn, and the handle of Big Dipper points to the north by the west, and the sky is the virtue of northwest. When the sun has set, the night has fallen, and the activities of people are transferred to the inner room, so there are many things to do. Upright officials only decide on housework. Many family disputes cannot be resolved entirely by reasoning. Gentlemen use wisdom when they are all involved in their families. Therefore, humanity will shift from emphasizing righteousness to emphasizing wisdom, and the development of intelligence is the work of "Meng Gua". theme. The moon of season and autumn, at dusk, symbolizes the aging stage of life. Everything is decayed, but it is time for it to attach importance to educating the offspring. When people are old, they have accumulated a lifetime of life experience, while their descendants are ignorant and naive, so "gentlemen use fruit to educate morality" to strengthen the enlightenment education for the next generation.

"Guan Gua" Tian Shi is Xu,In the hexagram of Jiqiu, the five elements are gold and will be transformed into water. "Guan Gua" the yang disappears, and then it will become " stripping hexagram ". In the "Peeling Gua", the time of the day is Hai, and the Gua of Meng Dong, and the five elements belong to water. In addition to the natural yin and yang news, there is only one way to change the hexagram in "Peeling Gua", which is to first change to "Qian Gua", and then "Qian Gua" to "Master Gua". These hexagrams are all about wisdom. "Qian Gua" talks about the above-mentioned modesty and modesty, humility is a kind of wisdom, and its purpose is to "respect those who save their place." "Shi Gua" talks about the use of soldiers, soldiers, and tricks. The trick is to win by wisdom, and the art of war is tricky.

"Peeling Gua" continues the yin and yang news, it will become " Kun Gua ". "Kun Hexagram" is the child when the sky is, the hexagram of Midwinter, and the five elements belong to the water. There is no yin and yang mixed hexagram form, only the yin and yang news will continue to become " compound hexagram ". "Fu Gua" is ugly in the sky, and the five elements belong to the soil instead of the water. In this way, apart from "Peeling Gua", "Qian Gua" and "Shi Gua", only the five elements of "Kun Gua" belong to water. "Kun Gua" talks about Kun Dao, Kun Dao, minister Dao, wife Dao, and Zi Dao. "Kun Dao is compliant, inheriting the sky and going with the times." Kun Dao is the way of a supporting role. A supporting role speaks of obedience. To talk about obedience, one must understand the will of the protagonist. Those who are well-earned, such as Yi Yin, such as Zhougong , such as Huo Guang , such as Zhuge Liang, such as Liu Bowen , etc., which one is not tactical and intelligent!

Water morality teaches wisdom, wise men enjoy water. The son said: "The one who knows is happy with water, and the benevolent is happy with mountains; the one who knows moves, the benevolent is quiet; the one who knows is happy, and the benevolence is longevity." (The Analects of Confucius • Yongye Sixth) The wise man is like water, he who walks freely, knows how to be flexible, so he is called "the one who knows moves." ,The abdomen has a purpose, happily knows fate, so always happy. The wise are happy and have something to return. The image of water is taken from Kan, and the "Yi·Shuo Gua Zhuan" says: "The Kan is the water, the gua of the north, the labor gua, the home of all things". He also said: "It (the hurdle) is also good for people, it is to add to the worry, and it is for the heart disease." People without thought, he must worry about. A wise man is worried, but he has something to return. The wise are happy with water, and the sacred heart of heaven is also.

" I Ching " is the gene of Chinese traditional culture. All the problems in traditional culture can be traced back to the "I Ching". The wisdom of the five virtues is matched with the water of the five elements, and it can be said that it is worthy of the name to examine the "Book of Changes". The Five Elements and the Five Virtues are not isolated, they have different focuses. The five elements have the relationship of mutual growth and mutual restraint, and the five virtues also have the relationship of mutual growth and restraint. Ren produces rituals, so rituals are the highest state of benevolence. Confucius said that Yan Hui said that "denying oneself and restoring rituals for benevolence" is sincere and credible. In the same way, rites produce faith, which is the highest state of rituals; faith produces righteousness, and righteousness is the highest state of faith; righteousness produces wisdom, and wisdom is the highest state of righteousness; wisdom produces benevolence, and benevolence is the highest state of wisdom. The essence of wisdom is to keep accomplishment and have finality, as Confucius said when he talked about "Qian Gua": "Those who are modest and respectful are those who save their place." A gentleman is successful, but without a high IQ, it is difficult to be successful.
