There is a basic theory of all disciplines (feng shui, metaphysics, medicine, etc.) in Chinese traditional culture . The five elements of life are born and cured, and there is nothing to do when you are free. Since I am a fan of traditional culture, I will think of using the simplest sentences to popularize the science for you.
The most basic concept of the so-called five elements is actually five directions: that is, southeast, west, north, and middle. Then let’s talk about it one by one according to the direction.
General:
In addition to the direction, the Chinese five elements will also correspond to the five different attributes, five organs, five colors, five sound rhythms and five sounds respectively through their correspondence with the ten heavenly stems.
Ten Heavenly Stems Fingering the Jade Yi Bing Ding Wu Ji Geng Xin Ren Gui. Starting from Jia, each two Heavenly Stems correspond to a direction:
East = Jia Yi
South = Bing Ding
Middle = Wu Ji
West = Geng Xin
North = Ren Gui
East:
1. According to the saying in "Su Wen", the east produces wind and wind produces wood, so the corresponding attribute of the east is: wood, commonly known as the east Jia and Yi wood.
2. The corresponding organ in the east is the liver, the corresponding color is cyan (blue green), the corresponding sound is horn (JUE), and the corresponding sound is hu.
South:
1. According to the saying in "Su Wen", the south generates heat, and heat generates fire, so the corresponding attribute of the south is: fire, commonly known as the southern Bing Ding Fire.
2. The corresponding organ in the south is the heart, the corresponding color is red (red), the corresponding sound is ZHI, and the corresponding sound is laugh.
in:
1. According to the saying in "Su Wen", the center produces wetness, and wetness produces earth, so the corresponding attribute of the center is: earth, commonly known as the center Wu and Ji earth.
2, the organ corresponding to the center is the spleen and stomach, the corresponding color is yellow, the corresponding sound is the palace, and the corresponding sound is the song.
West:
1. According to the saying in "Su Wen", the West produces dryness, and dryness produces metal, so the corresponding attribute of the West is: metal, commonly known as Western Geng and Xin metal.
2. The corresponding organ in the West is the lungs, the corresponding color is white, the corresponding rhythm is quotient, and the corresponding sound is crying.
North:
1. According to the saying in "Su Wen", the north produces cold, and cold produces water, so the corresponding attribute of the north is: water, commonly known as the northern Rengui water.
2. The corresponding organ in the north is the kidney, the corresponding color is black, the corresponding rhythm is feather, and the corresponding sound is moan.
brief table is as follows:
East=A Yi=wood=Liver=Cang=Jiao=Hu
South=Bing Ding=Fire=Heart=Cheng=Zheng=Laugh=Hiao
Middle=Wu Ji=earth=Spleen=Yellow=Gong=Gong=Song=Song=Song=Song=Song=Song=Song=Song=Song=Song=Song=Song=Song=Wei=Gold=Lung=White=Shang=Crying

Basic explanations end here. The next chapter talks about the relationship between life and restraint, and the basic application of Feng Shui geomantics.
