Why does the Chinese character Hu in the Five Elements book belong to fire? What’s the matter? Li Mingju’s book says it belongs to fire. Why?

4. The Five Elements Method of Mathematics

The so-called Mathematics refers to the number of strokes of a word. Those whose mantissas are 1 and 2 have the attribute of wood; the mantissas of each number are 3 and 4. , the attribute is fire; numbers ending in 5 or 6 have the attribute earth; numbers ending in 7 or 8 have the attribute gold; numbers ending in 9 or 0 have the attribute water. There are two things to pay attention to when using the mathematical five-element method:

(1) The number of strokes of Chinese characters must be calculated in traditional Chinese characters.

(2) Some special radicals are calculated according to prescribed strokes.

(1) "氵" means four points of water and four strokes. Such as: Qing, Jie, etc.; (2) Count four strokes next to "扌". Such as picking, poking, etc.; (3) "Moon" is counted as six strokes next to the meat. Such as Fu, Fat, Pulse, etc.; (4) "艹" counts as six strokes. Such as Ying, Ping, Rong, etc.; (5) "辶" counts as seven strokes. Such as Da, Mai, Xun, Guo, etc.; (6) "阝" on the left counts as eight pictures, Yang, Yin, Chen, Lu, etc.; (7) "卩" on the right counts as seven pictures, such as Ji, Deng, Kuang, etc.; ( 8) "Wang" counts as five paintings, such as Wan, Amber, Rose, Rose, etc.; (9) 绻 (SH), counts as five paintings with the word "SHOW"; (10) 褤 (衣), counts as six paintings with the word "clothes" ; (11) "犭" counts as four strokes. Such as Di, Meng, Du, etc.; (12) 忄 (心), standing next to the heart, is counted as four pictures with the word "心"; (13) The name has "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight" The words ", nine, ten" should be drawn as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 respectively.

The Five Elements Method of Mathematics is rooted in the "Five Elements Method" introduced from Japan in the 19th century (also known as "Saki Ken's Nameology"). This is the most criticized method of dividing the Five Elements. According to this method of classifying the five elements of Chinese characters, it often leads to big jokes such as the character "wood" belongs to fire (4 pictures), the character "water" belongs to fire (4 pictures), and the character "earth" also belongs to fire (3 pictures).

The division of Chinese character meanings into five elements is very important for naming. According to the traditional nomenclature, if there is an imbalance in the five elements in the innate numerology, the five elements should be used to make up for it when naming. The most reasonable, reliable and effective way to make up for the five elements is to make up for it based on the shape and meaning of the characters.
