The river map says: The number of aquatic is one, and the number is six;The number of fire is two, and the number is seven;The number of wood is three, and the number is eight;Jin Sheng is counted four, and the number is nine;The number of natives is five, and it is dozens.
1. On water
Water is the order of the north, and the number of births is one, and the number is six. The five elements are yang with odd numbers, even numbers are yin, and one yin and one yang are the way. Water is the yin thing, why is it the yang?Just like fire is yang, why is it yin?
It has long been explained from the Yin and Yang Escape of Qimen Lunjia, analogous to climate change, the days are shorter and the nights become longer during the winter solstice, and the yin is prosperous and the yang is declining at this time, so it is Yang Dun;The summer solstice is long days and short nights, and the yang is prosperous and the yin is declining, so it is a yin retreat. This embodies a philosophy that the extremes of things must be reversed, the anode is yin, and the yin is urgent, so the heaven and earth are repeated, the cold comes and goes, and the summer solstice and the winter solstice determine the extremes of the climate of the four seasons.
2. On fire
Fire is the order of the south, from the acquired gossip can be seen to be born in the yin and become in the yang, and the same as the water is the same thing that is ordered, the fire is the south and the water is the north, the water breeds all things, and the fire burns and destroys all things, so the water and fire work together to become the twenty-eight stars, the former Vermilion Bird, and the latter Xuanwu Dingzhi.
3. On wood
Wood is the thing that the East has ordered, so it is A B wood, A wood such as tall wood, B wood such as weeds of wood, with the image of all things, can be curved and straight, if the gold is repaired, it can be a wood of the wood, can be rigid and soft.
Fourth, on gold
The golden nature of the West is a thing that is ordered. Gold is strong and not fleshy, water is the son of gold, gold is the mother of water, water is soft and not rigid, so it is the theory of mother and son. If gold is tempered by fire and turned into gold, it can also become a weak thing, so gold must be made by fire, and fire can be refined into a vessel.
Fifth, on the soil
The soil is carried by the four seasons, the soil is in the middle, Chen is the wet soil, the dry soil is the dry soil, the wide range of changes, the evolution in the four seasons, the soil is rich in gold, wood, water, fire and changes all things, so it is the terrain Kun, the gentleman should be in the thick of the virtue.
