Black is a color related to the five elements and belongs to the water element in the five elements theory. The theory of five elements is an important theory in China's ancient philosophy, and it is also one of the cornerstones in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine, geomantic omen and Yijing. The five elements refer to wood, fire, earth, gold and water, which respectively represent five basic substances and forces in nature and their interaction.
In the five elements, black belongs to the water element, because the color of water is black. Water represents life, mobility, femininity and stillness, while black has similar characteristics. Black is a deep, mysterious and low-key color, which can express introverted, self-disciplined, calm and quiet feelings.
The origin of five lines of gossip
Five lines of gossip is divided into Yin and Yang, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. The "five elements" specifically refer to the golden thread, the wooden thread, the waterline, the fire line and the earth line, while the eight diagrams are the continuation of the five elements of yin and yang, or everything is divided into eight diagrams.
Eight diagrams began in infinity (infinity is a place of chaos), and it is said that Pangu opened the sky, cracked infinity, rose lightly and fell heavily, and then there were two instruments (two instruments: Yin and Yang, Yin gathered into water, Yang gathered into fire, and water and fire were the essence of Yin and Yang), and then there were four directions (four directions: Dongmu, Nanhuo, Xijin and Beishui).
Four elephants in pairs are four elephants (four elephants: southeast of Muhuo, southwest of Hawking, northwest of Jinshui and northeast of Shui Mu), and when they are combined together, they form the Eight Diagrams, which is the origin of five lines of gossip.
