What is the "five thunder" of "five thunder in the sky"? Is there any source?

? Since childhood, we have always seen people swearing in film and television works, saying, "If I ..., I will be struck by lightning five times a day." This line is also often used when swearing. This type of thread is familiar to everyone. This generally means that people will be punished naturally after doing a very bad and unnatural thing. But have you ever thought about what a body blow is? Is it just a simple five thunder? Actually, it is not.

That will be traced back to a systematic view of ancient Taoism in China-the Five Elements. The ancients divided everything in the world into five attributes, namely, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The "five thunders" in the "five thunders in the sky" are also, as the name implies, golden thunder, wooden thunder, thunder, fire thunder and mine. Although it is called thunder, it is not the same as everyone thinks, and it does not completely refer to lightning. They each represent different punishments.

Gold represents metal, wood represents plants, water represents liquid, fire represents heat energy, and soil represents land. Golden thunder generally refers to accidents caused by metals, such as car accidents caused by scratching and stabbing us with iron weapons, swords and axes, or metal products such as cars hitting us. Wood thunder means that wood products are harmful to us, such as being pinned down by trees. Where's Huolei? That's what we often say: lightning strikes, electric shocks, and fires. I mean drowning, or something happened when we went out, or we got sick. Tu Lei means houses collapse and so on.

Now do you understand the meaning of "body blow" in "body blow"? We have to feel the profoundness of China culture.
