Chinese characters are so beautiful: the five elements coexist (15)

The five elements belong to Jin Mu fire, water and soil, wood belongs to fire, fire produces soil, soil produces gold, gold produces water, and aquatic wood.

Let's start with wood. Wood, in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, is a tree with branches on the top and roots on the bottom, born underground. Wood, with a cross in the lower part, becomes "Ben", which means root. And the top of the tree is added with a horizontal line, which becomes the "end", which refers to the end. When the branches regenerate on the wood, add a horizontal line, which means "no", indicating that the branches are lush.

Words related to wood include wood, carpentry, wood, fungus, log, redwood, Chinese fir and so on. In addition to representing trees, wood can also represent unchangeable and inflexible, such as wood and numbness.

There are many characters with wood as the radical, and all the tree names have wood characters next to them, such as poplar, cypress and oak. In ancient times, all kinds of wooden utensils were made of wood, such as tables and chairs, fences, columns, chopping boards, coffins and so on. Many plants with roots also have wood, such as Lycium barbarum and durian.

Wood can make a fire. Fire, at first resembling the shape of a mountain, represents flame.

Words related to fire include lamp, stove, burning, kang, frying, cannon, stove and so on. Words related to fire include torch, fire, stove, spark, kindling, fireworks and burning. ......

Fire, because its attributes are often related to violence and dryness, leads to the words heat, firepower and getting angry.

Fire breeds soil. The earth is a mud mound standing on the ground, which means the medium used to spit out everything. It is practical and uncontroversial, silently providing nutrients for the growth of all things, but it is often ignored, so there is a saying that it is regarded as dust.

The earth is the earth. China has experienced thousands of years of agricultural society. The peasants turned their backs on the loess and worked hard, but they were not respected. In the face of the rise of commerce and urbanization, the land that has supported the people of China for thousands of years is gradually regarded as lagging behind the trend, resulting in such derogatory terms as local tyrant, rustic and scum.

The words related to soil include ridge, ridge, ridge, field, slope, culture, garbage and so on. For people who live and eat by the sea, it is difficult to remember the words ridge and ridge. But for people who eat by the fields on the Loess Plateau, the words next to the local characters will be very vivid.

Natural gold. Gold, there is no Oracle Bone Inscriptions glyph, because it was not until the Bronze Age that the word appeared with metals. Gold is a precious metal, and its red and yellow particles are hidden in sediments and alluvial deposits. There are few bad words related to gold, even gold teeth don't sound so bad, not to mention good words such as gold mine, gold list, golden expensive, golden wedding, gold medal, golden voice, golden rice bowl, gold exchange, to beno. 1, golden house hidden with charming, etc ... People's pursuit of valuables has a long history and has never changed.

As a radical, Gold is simplified to the word gold, which refers not only to gold, but also to all metals, such as silver, copper, iron, tin and lead. There are also gold lettering beside metal utensils, such as inscriptions, mirrors, clocks, locks, bracelets and chains, as well as cymbals and shackles.

Jin Shengshui. Water, in its earliest form, is like a drop of water falling on a cliff. Mountain spring is water, the source of water flow is spring, mountain spring merges into a stream, and the stream merges into a stream on the ground. Many streams merge into streams and many streams merge into rivers. The biggest river is the Yangtze River, and the longest river is the Yangtze River. Where there are rivers, there are often civilizations, such as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, which are the sources of Chinese civilization. Water is the source of life.

State, also from water, refers to the alluvial sandbar in the middle of the river, such as the Book of Songs:

Later it became an independent administrative region, such as Guangzhou, Suzhou, Taizhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou and Wenzhou.

Forever is the original word of "swimming", which means that people swim in the river instead of walking. The ancients found that you can swim far downstream, so "forever" has a lasting and long-lasting meaning. In the ancient Book of Songs, there was "rivers flowing endlessly", but today there is Stephen Chow's "rivers flowing endlessly".

"One is water, the other is fire, the third is wood, the fourth is gold, and the fifth is earth", which is a systematic view used by ancient Taoism to explain the relationship between everything. Interestingly, because the five elements are the main elements in nature, they are everywhere. In Chinese characters, three repetitions are the most. Mulinsen, one tree doesn't make a forest, two trees make a forest, which means that trees are connected with each other, and three trees are called forests, which means big forests. Water and Miao, gold and Xin, soil and ridge, fire, inflammation and beauty can all be seen in the numerous elements in life.
