Wu Xing

"Wu Xing" (Five Elements) is an important aspect of ancient Chinese philosophy and natural science, similar to the concept of the four elements.

Even today, many people consult the theory of Five Elements when building houses, naming children, and making other significant decisions. Aims to balance the energies, ensuring blessings and good fortune.

Classification of the Five Elements:

The five elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element represents a set of related attributes and energies. They are not literal substances but symbolic concepts used to explain and describe various phenomena and processes in nature and human life.

Symbolic Meanings:

Wood symbolizes growth and vitality,
Fire symbolizes passion and energy,
Earth symbolizes stability and solidity,
Metal symbolizes wealth and value,
Water symbolizes flow and insight.

Generating and Overcoming Relationships:

There exist generating and overcoming relationships among the five elements, These relationships among the five elements can be represented by a CIRCLE & STAR ! 

Generating means one element can promote or give rise to another element:
Water nourishing Wood,
Wood feeding Fire,
Fire producing Earth,
Earth yielding Metal,
Metal enriching Water.

Overcoming means one element can control or weaken the effects of another element:
Water extinguishing Fire,
Fire melting Metal,
Metal cutting Wood,
Wood breaking Earth,
Earth absorbing Water. 

Yin Yang

Yin and Yang are often represented graphically by a circle divided into two halves: one half is black (Yin) and the other half is white (Yang). This symbolizes the relativity and complementarity of Yin and Yang, while implying their dynamic balance and interdependence.

Yin and Yang is a concept of complementary opposites, revealing the relative yet interdependent forces in the universe and life. Yin represents darkness, softness, and stillness, while Yang represents brightness, firmness, and activity. This opposition is not merely static; it involves a dynamic interplay of generation and inhibition, mutual transformation.

The philosophy of Yin and Yang teaches us that the changes and harmony of everything in the universe depend on this dynamic balance. This balance evolves and adjusts continually, shaping the diverse and perpetual flow of the world.

Feng Shui 

Feng Shui is an extremely complex system that refers to ancient Zhouyi, Yin Yang, Five Elements, Birth fate, Architectural environment and other theories... Here we only talk about some simple things.

Basic Feng Shui Knowledge Includes:

Flow of Qi:

Feng Shui theory posits Qi as a flowing energy in nature and human environments. Good Feng Shui requires Qi to flow freely without obstruction.

Five Elements Theory:

Feng Shui is closely related to the theory of Five Elements, which include Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Their interactions affect the energy balance of the environment.

Environment:

It emphasizes adjusting the layout and design of environments to promote health, happiness, and success.

Destiny of the House:

Based on the individual's birth date and time (part of Chinese astrology), Feng Shui practitioners analyze the destiny of the house to guide interior layout and decoration.

Interior Layout:

This includes the orientation of beds, placement of furniture, color choices, etc., which can affect Qi flow and the fortune of residents.

*In daily life and personal habits, people can adopt some basic Feng Shui practices:

Maintain Cleanliness:

A clean and orderly environment is conducive to a good Qi field.
Avoid Sharp Angles:

Sharp corners and objects obstruct Qi flow; they can be softened with plants or furniture.

Emphasize Lighting:

Adequate natural light promotes positive Qi; it's beneficial to have windows and good lighting fixtures.

Avoid Negative Energy Areas:

Such as doors directly facing beds or seats, which can destabilize energy.
