We Chinese have a lot of Feng Shui knowledge that has been passed down to this day since ancient times. For example, when choosing a name, you have to calculate based on your five elements. If you are missing something, you can add it to the name. More auspicious!
What are the five elements? How do you know what is missing from the Five Elements? What is the relationship between jade and the five elements? Let’s learn about it together!
The "Five Emperors" chapter records: "...the sky has five elements, water, fire, metal, wood and earth, which are transformed and cultivated in time to form all things. Their gods are called the Five Emperors." The so-called "Xing", Zheng Xuan noted: " The "Five Elements" means the movement of matter; it means the origin of all things.
Feng shui is the most important aspect of traditional Chinese culture. The heavenly stems and earthly branches are original creations of the Chinese. The ten heavenly stems are A, B, B, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui. ; The twelve earthly branches are Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. At the same time, the heavenly stems and earthly branches also correspond to the year, month, day, and hour when each person was born.
Different heavenly stems and earthly branches have different five elements: Jia, Yi, Yin and Mao belong to the eastern wood, Geng, Xin and Shenyou belong to the western metal, Bing, Ding and Siwu belong to the southern fire, Renguizihai belongs to the northern water, Wujichen and Xu Chou It does not belong to the four directions. Finally, based on the different year, month, day and time of birth of each person, the different five element attributes of each person are calculated.
Jadeite itself also has different five-element attributes depending on its color, shape, shape, etc. According to the principle of the five elements mutually reinforcing each other, if you choose and wear your own jade jewelry, you can pray for peace and good fortune.
The five major categories of "gold", "wood", "water", "fire" and "earth" mentioned earlier, each of the five elements has a "correct color" to match it, and jade can just match it. Corresponding:
Water: black (black) color, blue; black
Fire: red (red) color, purple; red
Wood: green (green) color, blue color; green
Gold: white (light) color, gold; white
Earth: yellow (brown) color, brown. Yellow
In fact, as early as ancient times, jade culture has always been inseparable from our Feng Shui customs. In addition to the five elements, there are many rules for wearing jade that are worth learning. For example:
1. If it’s not your jade, don’t carry it with you. Only your own jade can protect yourself.
2. If jade comes into contact with people for a long time, it will slowly be affected by people, and people will also be affected by jade. If the wearer is a good person, then the jade on him will have sufficient positive power and keep people safe; if he is an evil person, the jade will be very violent and will bring disaster.
3. The ancients said: A gentleman never leaves his body without reason. For friends who have brought jade by themselves, especially those who have brought it since childhood, it is best not to take it off easily without special reasons.
4. If the jade is broken, it must have helped you avoid the disaster. It should be wrapped in red paper (cloth) and buried. This is the origin of "jade burial". It is best to give it to you later. Treat yourself to a piece.
5. Jade can be given as a gift or bought, but it cannot be given as a free gift. You took the jade given by others in vain. That jade is not your protector.
6. Ancient jade does not need to be consecrated, so don’t be deceived.
7. Ancient jade can ward off disasters. Some people have encountered some accidents, but they are fine, but the jade is broken. This is jade helping you to ward off disasters.
Although these Feng Shui customs are rarely taken seriously nowadays, they are the same classic traditions left by our ancestors as our jade culture. No matter how long they can be passed down, we should maintain them. Learn about it with respect!
So, if your elders tell you that there is something missing in the Five Elements, you might as well use the corresponding jade to make up for it. It means that there are never too many beautiful things, right? !
