The formation and development of the five-line doctrine is generally considered to have gone through the origins of the original concept, the abstraction of the five-line characteristic, the classification of the five-line attribute of things, the exploration of the biological restraint rule, and the gradual improvement of the whole doctrine. With regard to the meaning of the five lines, the following are the main views of the academic community:
One, five
The five pillars refer to five basic substances in nature: wood, fire, earth, gold, water. The twenty-seven years of leftistism read: “five things are born and used by the people.” five types of water produce specific substances necessary for life. The twenty-five years of leftist zhao zhao read: “the world and earth are angry with them, using their five lines”. "thirty-two years left to zhao" says: "three in five rows in the sky." “five lines, so reproduction.” the words “five lines” are “five blocks”。
Two, five
From an examination of the great tombs of anyang yin, half of the mass graves are “asian”. According to the kingdom's examination for the temple of ming dynasty, the site of the temple of haut-ming was also “asian”. The above-mentioned asian shape can be broken into five squares, each representing five. It is documented in the book that sang-soon yao-soon quantuan is on a five-way and five-lane route, and in yao-chou xiao cai-cai-wu, the king's quintling quartet on the end of the week, is on a five-lane and five-lane basis. It is clear that the ideas of the five parties are born in the era of commerce。
Three or five say
According to the story of the calendar, “the huang cau calendars for five lines.” (the pipelines five lines say: “the former emperor stood five lines in the sky.” the fifth line was considered to have been created by the huang. The first five lines are intended to be five years of life. The five lines of pipelines contain the last five lines, which divide the 365 days of the year into five sections, combining wood, fire, earth, gold and water, and re-constructing the five gas epidemic maps, which flow in five rows。
Four or five stars
In ancient times, astronomer knowledge was more widespread. So-called “three generations or more, everyone knows the astronomical. In july, there was a fire, a farmer's word; there were three stars in the sky, a woman's word; there was a month away from china, a pawn's act; and there were rumours of children in the dragon's tailings and mornings. "five rows of chaos, five stars." in observing changes in the celestial bodies, the ancients gradually discovered a regular movement of water, gold, fire, wood and saturn, which is observed in the eyes of the naked eye, so that, “five lines in the sky” would refer to five stars, such as the stars, the stars, the stars, the stars, the stars and the stars (or the fillers) of the towns. At the same time, the ancients found that the motion patterns of the five stars in the universe were closely linked to changes in the four-time climate, so hanson renaissance said, "the five stars are not lost, but they are rich."
Five planets and suns and moons
Five, five
The five-line concept has been expanded from something specific to philosophical theory, from specific five-line to abstract five. The meaning of the word “line” is one that, according to some scholars, has the meaning both of a four-way road and of a popular, operational and moving verb. A five-way “walk” is a combination of the two, resulting in an entirely new world view。
The fifth line, as a philosophical concept, begins in sang-suk hongfan: “five lines: one water, two fire, three wood, four gold, five japanese earth. The water pours down, the fire rises, the wood rises straight, the gold rises, the earth grows. It is salted, it is bitter, it's sour, it's bitter, it's sour, it's sour, it's sour.” quite a lot of talent. A five-wayer, if it is in the sky, will be popular, even in the world.” the change of name from “five” to “five lines” has led to a process of physical to abstract improvement, thus marking the formation of five lines as a philosophical concept. The “five lines” can serve as a model for the sum of nature's society, everything, only after they are abstractly five functional attributes。
After the spring and autumn, ancient thinkers began to explore the relationship between the five lines, gradually establishing the interlinkage between the five lines of wood, earth, water, water, fire, fire, the “shak” of wood, fire, earth, earth, gold and water, and aquatic wood, which is widely used to explain nature's society, the relationship between everything and its evolution. This marks the maturity of the five lines of doctrine。
