The five elements are also "the five elements win", which refers to the orderly relationship of restraint and restriction between wood, fire, earth, metal and water, and is later extended to the dialectical relationship between matter, one thing descends to one thing, which is one of the contents of the ancient Chinese Five Elements Theory. The order of the five elements is: wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes gold, and gold overcomes wood. In the process of the five elements, the energy field of one side is transferred to the other side and is canceled out by the other. The five elements are mutually restrained, which refers to the weakening and inhibition of the energy field of one of the five elements on the other.

Xiao Ji of the Sui Dynasty said in "The Great Righteousness of the Five Elements: On Mutual Restraint": "Those who are restrained are punished for righteousness, and their strength is strong to control the weak, so wood overcomes earth, soil overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes gold, and gold overcomes wood." In the relationship between the five elements, any line has two aspects of the relationship of "gram self" and "self restraint". The "Neijing" refers to the relationship between mutual restraint as the relationship between "victorious" and "invincible": those who "overcome me" are "invincible", and those who "overcome me" are "victorious". Therefore, the restraint of the five elements is actually the restraint and restriction of one of the five elements on the line it wins. For example, taking wood as an example, because wood overcomes soil, "I overcome" is soil, and soil is "victorious" by wood; Because of the gold and wood, the one who "recks me" is gold, and the gold is the "invincible" of wood.

Jin Kemu: Rigid and soft, so Jin Shengmu. For example, metal cutting tools can be used to cut down trees; Minerals (metals) do not grow vegetation on the land. Mu Ketu: Specializing in San, so wood wins soil. For example, the roots of the tree absorb nutrients from the soil to replenish themselves, and the tree becomes stronger. If the soil is not replenished, it will naturally weaken. Tuke water: the real is better than the virtual, the homeland is better than the water. For example, soil can hold back water. Water overcomes fire: the nature of heaven and earth, many are victorious, so water is better than fire. For example, a fire is extinguished when it encounters water. Fire is gold: fine is better than strong, so fire is better than gold. For example, fire melts metal.

The theory of "five elements of mutual restraint" and "the victory of the five elements" are the theories of naïve materialism used by ancient thinkers to explain the changes of all things in the universe. "Spring and Autumn Dew" has "The Victory of the Five Elements", which explains the truth of the victory of the five elements. Wang Chong said in "On Balance": "Heaven uses the qi of the five elements to give birth to all things, and man uses all things to do everything. It can't be controlled, it can't be used, it can't be harmed, and it can't be used. Gold does not steal wood, wood does not work. Fire does not shine gold, and gold does not become a vessel. Therefore, all things benefit from each other, and the blood-containing insects win each other, eat each other, and eat each other, all of which are made by the five elements of qi." All things are born to make all things work together, so they have to make each other harmful. It is the coordination and combination of this relationship that makes all things in the universe always in a state of equilibrium, and can provide a good feng shui environment for human beings.

So, what are the conditions for the five elements to be born? The condition for the restriction of the five elements is that the five elements must be young, vigorous, and powerful. Only when you have the energy can you give birth to or overcome the other five elements. Nowadays, there are many books on the market that rarely explain the conditions of the five elements clearly. What kind of five elements can be born, and what kind of five elements can be controlled, which is not in line with the laws of nature. Only when we understand the conditions of Shengke can we accurately grasp the route of Shengke in practical application.

Otherwise, it will lead to errors in judgment. Some of the things that seem to be able to give birth are actually fake births and do not play a substantive role. For example, Xiangsheng: Only if you have the ability can you help others. On the contrary, you are in danger of your own, and of course you will have no time to take care of yourself. In the same way, the five elements are the same: the gram is a kind of power that kills and kills, and makes a certain kind of five elements lose their life. For example, the soldiers on the battlefield are young and strong.

The five elements are the two most basic forces for maintaining balance. So, when a set of information contains both raw and grammed information, is it the raw or the gram? There is a pattern to this. When the five elements are prosperous to a certain extent, the preferred instinct is to live.

Let's take water as an example: when the water is prosperous to a certain extent, it will not go to the gram first, as long as there is wood around, it will grow wood, and discharge its excessive energy through raw wood to achieve balance; If there is no wood around when the water is strong, the water will instinctively overcome the fire, and consume its own energy by overcoming the fire, and the balance is also achieved. So, what to do when there is neither wood nor fire around the water to consume its own excess energy? At this time, the water likes the soil, and the energy consumed by the relatively prosperous soil is balanced. Shengke is hierarchical and distinctive. The instinctive order is: give birth to one gram and be gram.
