During the Warring States Period, Zheng Yan of the Yin and Yang family used the "five elements to restrain each other" to explain all things in nature, humans, and things. However, the concept of "the five elements are mutually reinforcing" requires It was not developed until the Western Han Dynasty that the "Five Virtues Beginning Theory" influenced China's political philosophy (for example, Qin Shihuang believed that the water virtue was the beginning, and its color was still black), folk customs and traditional technology (the theory of Feng Shui). Mutual relations: wood produces fire (imagine a forest burning with fire), fire produces soil (what remains after a fire is ashes), soil produces gold (there are often mineral deposits in the soil), gold produces water (when ancient people dug mineral deposits, underground water often flowed out, so It is thought that minerals will generate water) and aquatic trees (plants need water for irrigation). Mutual restraint relationships: water restrains fire, fire restrains metal (melted metal), metal restrains wood (axe cuts wood), wood restrains soil (plants absorb nutrients from the soil, making the soil less fertile), earth restrains water (water comes to cover the earth) *corresponds to the five flavors (In the order of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water): sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty * Corresponds to the five colors: green, red, yellow, white, and black * Corresponds to the five development processes in nature: birth, growth, Transformation, collection, and storage* correspond to five climates: wind, heat, dampness, dryness, and cold; * correspond to five seasons: spring, summer, long summer, autumn, and winter; * correspond to five directions: east, south, middle, and west ( Therefore, the autumn wind is also called the golden wind and the west wind), and the north * Corresponds to the five internal organs of the human being: liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys * Corresponds to the human internal organs: gallbladder, small intestine, stomach, large intestine, and bladder * Corresponds to the five human organs: eyes, tongue , mouth, nose, ears *corresponds to the five human bodies: tendons, veins, flesh, fur, bones *corresponds to the five wills (five emotions) of the human being: anger, joy, thought, sadness, fear.
