Extended data

The meaning of Yin Na's five-line names in Sixty Jiazi can be analyzed from the word meaning, and the following information can be obtained:

First, Yin Na's five elements express the quality of material five elements, which is a metaphor for human ability. Such as gold in the sea, gold in the blade, gold in the ash, gold in the sand, gold in the foil and gold in the hairpin, among these six kinds of gold, the quality of gold in the sea is greater than that in the sand; The quality of gold in sand is greater than that of Jianfeng gold; The quality of Jianfeng gold is greater than that of hairpin gold; The quality of hairpin gold is greater than that of gray gold and gold foil gold.

Therefore, high quality, great consistency and great strength mean that it is not easy to be injured and damaged; Small mass, low consistency and low strength indicate that it is easy to be damaged. Therefore, people with high quality in Yin Na's five lines are mainly capable, and vice versa.

Secondly, Yin Na's Five Lines expresses the application of material five elements, which is a metaphor for human character. If Jian Feng Jin can be used as a weapon, cut down trees, etc. Then the main people are extroverted and strong. Gold can be used as decorations, etc. , making the owner introverted and cowardly.

Thirdly, Yin Na and the five elements express the material space of the five elements, which is a metaphor for people's mood. Gold in the sea, if hidden in the sea, must be cautious. There is gold in the sand, and it is easy to find gold in the sand, so it is mainly carelessness and inadequacy.

Fourthly, Yin Na's five elements show whether the relationship between health and grams can be established, and it is a metaphor for whether people can live in harmony. If the big sea water can't produce any trees that listen to sounds, because the sea water is salty, it means that people who regard listening to sounds as big sea water can't live in harmony with people who belong to listening to sounds.

However, the long-running water, Tianhe water and other Nayin waters can produce any Nayin wood, that is to say, among the six Nayin waters, people with the other five Nayin waters can live in harmony with any Nayin wood people.
