Jin Sui: To Yin to Masculine is the same, Yang Sui gives fire to Yin to water, and the five elements are transformed into reincarnation.
Among the five elements, one of the attributes of gold is its stable nature. The golden flint cast at the day of the first day of May every year is often called the Yang Sui, and the golden flint cast at the solstice hour of the year is called the Yin Sui on the day of the Renzi in November every year. According to rumors, the golden flint cast on the day of Bingwu can be used to make fire, and the yin flint cast on the night can be used to make water.
Passers-by said: The ancients knew about the stability of the chemical element gold for a long time, but because they did not know the principle, they have been explaining it according to the theory of yin and yang of the five elements. The reason why gold can be stable in nature is because it is the most masculine and rigid thing in the world, so the yang flint created at the time of the extreme yang is full of yang attributes, and can be directly used to make fire, and because yin and yang can be transformed into each other, the yin flint forged at the extreme yin moment has yin attributes and can be used to generate water.
Judging from today's knowledge points, yang gives birth to fire and yin gives birth to water, which is somewhat contrary to common sense. However, there is indeed such an item as a golden flint in history. However, in the hands of the ancient working people of our country, Jin Sui was mainly used to make fire, not to make water. Of course, Jin Sui's principle of taking fire is not based on the theory of the five elements of yang making fire, but on the knowledge point of primary school: the principle of convex lens. According to historical sources, the golden flint was mainly made of copper or other metals, and resembled a pointed cup or a concave mirror.

Statement: "Sou Shen Ji" is the Eastern Jin Dynasty historian Gan Bao (?—336 A.D.), in terms of the age of creation, there is also a history of nearly 1,700 years, during which Chinese myths and stories are also a process of continuous evolution and completion, and the characters described will inevitably deviate from the current mainstream image. Therefore, this article is mainly based on the reading notes made in the original text of Sou Shen Ji, mainly based on the translation of the original text and the addition of brain holes. Due to the limited level of personal knowledge, the translation of some words is inevitably not accurate enough, and the understanding of some of the characters in the text is not too comprehensive in the records outside of "Sou Shen Ji".
