What does the rise and fall of the five elements mean?

The five elements have different strengths and weaknesses in a year. According to their ups and downs, the ancients in China summarized five trends: prosperity, prosperity, interest, imprisonment and death.

Prosperity-the most prosperous time, the five elements are in season, and the Jews are in their prime, so they are called "prosperity".

Phase-the second prosperity, the five elements were born in the commander, and the Jews had the help of their mother Wang (Jin), so it was the second prosperity, called "phase".

Hugh-a small decline, born with five elements, but also having children, having children is very tired (retired) and needs a little rest, so it is a small decline, called "Hugh."

Imprisonment-in the middle of decline, the commander-in-chief of the five elements paid a fee for lecturing. There is also the power to resist gram, and the damage is not light, so it is in the middle of decline, called "prison".

Death-the most declining, overwhelmed by the vigorous spirit of the five elements of the season, still old and weak, met an opponent in the prime of life. It is not far from death, so it is the most declining, called "death."

The law of the rise and fall of the five elements is: "I" represents the season of the five elements. When the season is prosperous, I will prosper, I will live, I will rest, I will be imprisoned and I will die. If Chunmu is in season, then Muwang; Fire makes wood, and fire is the phase; Water is the mother of raw wood. When the wood is already flourishing, the mother will retire and the wood will rest. Gold is strong wood, wood is strong, but gold is in a prisoner's position; Soil can be overcome by wood, and wood is strong and prosperous, while soil is dead.

Among the four seasons, one of the five elements in the seasonal solar terms is the most prosperous. Relatively born in a state of vigorous vitality, the vitality is weak. Don't live in the first place, retire if you succeed. The prisoner was in the position of king Dick, and there was nothing I could do, but I was captured. The deceased was in Wang Qi, and his momentum was the weakest, so he died.
