The joys and taboos of the five elements are an important concept in the Chinese cultural tradition. The five elements refer to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which represent different elements and attributes. Joy refers to the feeling of mutual generation, that is, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal. These five are constantly generating each other and have the benefit of mutual generation. Taboo refers to the feeling of mutual restraint, that is, metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains metal. These five restrain each other, forming mutual restraint. Therefore, the five elements, happiness and taboos are widely used in daily life and Feng Shui.
In Feng Shui, the five elements are often used to decorate homes or furniture. For example, in Feng Shui, a home with a "gold" brand helps with wealth, a home with a "wood" brand helps with relationships, a home with a "water" brand helps with wisdom, a home with a "fire" brand helps with popularity, and a home with a "earth" brand helps with popularity. A healthy home contributes to your health. At the same time, avoid placing "gold" tiles between "wood" tiles, and avoid placing "fire" tiles between "water" tiles. These rules can not only improve the overall Feng Shui atmosphere in the room, but also have a positive impact on personal fortune.
The manifestations of the five elements’ joys and taboos in daily life
The five elements’ joys and taboos are also reflected in many aspects of daily life. For example, wood likes fire, so electrical appliances such as TVs and heaters are often placed on wooden tables or cabinets, which not only improves the functionality of electrical appliances, but also improves the feng shui of the home. "Water" likes "gold", and people like to take baths. When washing hands and brushing teeth, it will be smoother to use gold faucets and faucets. For another example, the corresponding element of the liver is wood. Eating more celery, fungus, mushrooms and other vegetables that are good for liver health in your diet can help balance the five elements and eliminate negative effects.
