Five elements of color (33)

People in China believe that color itself is an important factor in the formation of the universe. This idea is based on the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements formed at the end of the Western Han Dynasty in BC 1 century. The five elements are the material basis of all things in the universe, which can be summarized as the five elements, namely "gold, wood, water, fire and earth". Shang Shu Hong Fan records: "Five elements, one is water, the other is fire, the third is wood, the fourth is gold, and the fifth is earth." The theory of five elements combines five numbers with colorless, and the theory of five elements interacts with each other, forming the traditional color aesthetic system in China-the five elements colorimetry. In the history of China, no matter in traditional culture, modern theoretical circle or aesthetic circle, there has never been a theory of "five elements colorimetry", but in fact, under the guidance of five elements colorimetry, a fixed colorimetry system rich in China traditional culture has long been formed in China. The colors of gold, wood, water, fire and earth mentioned in the five elements are: gold is white, wood is blue, water is black, fire is red and soil is yellow, and the corresponding five elements are: wood is east, fire is south, gold is west, water is north and soil is middle.

The influence of color on people is obvious. In geomantic omen, colors are simply divided into two categories, yin and yang, and a five-color system based on five behaviors.

Does color have an effect on life? ?

It is said that there is a bridge on the Thames in London, England called Blackfulton. This bridge used to be black, and many people commit suicide on this bridge every year; Later, it was changed to blue, and the number of suicides was obviously less; Finally it was changed to pink, and there was no suicide on the bridge for a long time.

A psychologist abroad spent three years studying the influence of color on infant intelligence. He let children with the same level of intelligence test live in small rooms of different colors and retest their IQ after a period of time. The results show that the IQ of children living in bright rooms such as blue, yellow and green is higher than in the past 12 points. Children who live in rooms with monotonous and gloomy colors such as black, white and brown have lower IQ than in the past and are cute.

So how to use color in Feng Shui?

The first thing is to distinguish the yin and yang of the house. The environment belongs to yin, the environment belongs to yang, and the negative color is used.

Secondly, distinguish directions and match different colors according to the different directions of gossip. In principle, the five elements of color cannot destroy the five elements of hexagrams.

The color we usually see is actually an electromagnetic wave called light wave. Different wavelengths form different color feelings.

The "qi" in Feng Shui can be divided into "local qi" and "weather". The "weather" mentioned here can be understood as the radiation of various energy waves in the universe. And light waves are also a part of "weather", and different wavelengths produce different wonderful feelings.

Generally speaking, positive colors represent positive features; But too many positives will have an impulsive reaction.

Why are many fast food restaurants decorated in yellow or red? On the one hand, in the process of human evolution, it is found that ripe fruits are all red and yellow, which can stimulate people's appetite. On the other hand, because of positive color, people can eat faster and restaurants can get more benefits.

Generally speaking, negative colors represent the characteristics of keenness, calmness and rationality; Too much negativity will lead to negative and depressing reactions.

Negative colors can help people relieve mental stress, so friends with insomnia can try to change into blue quilts to help them sleep.

These phenomena have also been scientifically proved. The light waves of color are constantly vibrating; Red can shake 47 1 trillion in one second, which will cause the rise of blood pressure and pulse temperature and bring excitement; Blue vibrates 622 trillion times per second, which will reduce blood pressure, pulse and body temperature, thus achieving a calming effect. It is this difference in vibration frequency that has a great influence on our physiology and psychology.

Someone did an experiment, let one person enter the red room, let another person enter the blue room, only told them to come out of the room after an hour, but did not give them any timer. As a result, the people in the red room came out in less than 45 minutes, while the people in the blue room came out in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Different colors give people the illusion of different lengths of time.

For example, if the house is above the tuyere and there is no enclosure around it, it will be difficult for gas to gather and form a gas swing bureau. This kind of house is extremely heavy on cloudy days, so it is generally not recommended to live in it. However, if conditions are limited and there is no better house to choose from, positive color can be used as a remedy for geomantic omen.

Because this kind of house with air blowing on all sides will make people feel relaxed, but in the long run, people living in it will lose motivation, have no goal, no plan, no passion and knock for a day. People will get lazier and lazier, which will eventually lead to failure.

Using positive colors, such as red and orange, will make people full of confidence in life, set a good goal and strive to achieve it. Positive color makes people full of charm and shines like a flame, which can balance the negative effects brought by the environment.

The use of color is also very important, that is, the five elements of color cannot destroy the five elements of orientation.
