The Five Elements and the Naiyin of people born in 1974
What is "Daxishui"?
It is a type of naiyin calculation in Chinese fortune-telling, referring to the year's destiny in the system of the Sixty Jiazi. It comes from the "San Ming Huitong Lun" and corresponds to the years Jia Yin and Yi Mao. That is, people born in Jia Yin or Yi Mao years are "Daxishui" (Big Stream Water) destiny.
The Sixty Jiazi is the oldest method of chronological calculation. This way of recording time was derived from long-term life experience, and people found that people born in these years have common situations. The Sixty Jiazi existed during the Xia Dynasty, as evidenced by the large number of oracle bone inscriptions discovered that contain characters such as "Wu Wu." During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, various schools of thought emerged, and the Yin-Yang school among the three teachings and nine streams took Yin-Yang and the five elements, and feng shui as the main content of their studies. Because of the burning of books during the Qin Dynasty and the promotion of Confucianism during the Han Dynasty, the peasant uprising group of the Five Doushi sect came onto the historical stage, replacing the Yin-Yang sect. They took Laozi as their patriarch, and most of the original Yin-Yang sects declined during the Han and Tang dynasties, accompanying Japanese scholars who came to China. This is why Taoism has the custom of respecting the elderly, which is to search for the research results left by the original Yin-Yang sect.
Jia Yin Big Stream Water
Jia Yin is water in its sick state. Although it is sick, earth cannot overcome it, as the combination of branch and stem two wood can control the earth. If there is Renshen or Guimao metal, then it is more than sufficient. As stated in the "Wuyao Yaolun": Jia Yin and Rengou waters are hidden rebellions, where yin dominates over yang, leading to deceitful and harmful actions. Only by balancing with fire and earth can they become great.
Jia Yin Shentou Lu, is deep and quiet water. If supported by strong wood and weak earth, it becomes extraordinary and noble. Gengxin is not afraid, and clarity lies in Dingren. Explanation: Jia Yin belongs to water, the place where the heavenly stem is self-powered, and the union of heaven and earth gives rise to Shentou Lu. Water reaches spring and becomes sick, sinking and still. If supported by strong wood and weak earth, it is a rare and noble fate. If there is Gengxin, it is not afraid of being restrained, as Jia Yin shares the same palace. Dingren is the source of clear beauty.
Good and bad properties: Sky rain, likes summer. Good: Right official horse, lucky god; Bad: Headless, broken character, hanging needle, deaf-mute.
