Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 76 Five Elements
  "Five Elements? You just said that Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu is a wood-based yin and yang technique. Is there anything else?" Chen Cong is truly a top scholar and responded quickly.

"Yes, Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Ryu is the yin and yang technique of the wood element, one of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Of course there are others. But Xiaoyi only remembers Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Ryu."

"Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth? What are the five elements?"

"Isn't there a theory of the Five Elements in our mainland?"

"No, only the Yang family of Qijue Gong has something similar. It has the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They are called Wuling. They found that these five attributes have a certain correlation and have some fusion skills." Similarly, there are gold on the mainland. There are five attributes of wood, water, fire and earth, but there is no systematic overall concept of operation, symbolization and transformation like the five elements.
  "Ah" Chen Xiaojun was a little stunned, touched his chin, and thought: "Except for Qi Jue Gong, there is indeed no other martial spirit in Douluo Continent that has these five attributes. It is not surprising that it is not found, and it would not be surprising even if it is found. Deep interpretation.”

Looking at Chen Cong's expression of curiosity, Chen Xiaojun also said: "The Five Elements, also called the Five Elements Theory, is the basic way to understand the world. The meaning of the Five Elements includes five basic dynamics through the evolution process of Yin and Yang: Gold represents gathering, wood represents growth, water represents infiltration, fire represents destruction, and earth represents fusion. Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu is the yin and yang technique that represents growth.

In Xiaoyi's inheritance, the Five Elements Theory is used to explain the formation of all things in the world and their interrelationships. It emphasizes the whole and aims to describe the movement forms and transformation relationships of things. Yin and Yang is the theory of the unity of opposites, and the Five Elements is the system theory. "

"System Theory?"

"Well, the 'Xing' of the 'Five Elements' refers to a kind of 'operation' of nature, which is a continuous movement in accordance with a rule inherent in its presentation. It is an act of nature.

The essence of the Five Elements Theory is that the world is composed of the five most basic material characteristics and conditions of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The development and changes of various things and phenomena in nature are due to the continuous movement and change of these five different conditions. The result of the interaction.

The Five Elements Theory uses the method of analogy to classify everything in the world into five categories: gold - metal, wood - plants, water - liquid, fire - heat energy, and earth - earth.

On the basis of the five attributes, the relationship between life and restraint is used to illustrate and explain the interconnection and changes between things. Like yin and yang, there is a law of mutual growth and restraint between the five elements.

Mutual generation refers to the relationship between two types of things with different attributes that help and promote each other; specifically: the warmth of wood stems generates fire; the fire burns wood to generate earth; the mineral deposits in earth generate gold; the condensation of gold generates water; and the moistening of water generates wood. .

Mutual restraint is the opposite of mutual generation, which means that the relationship between two types of things with different five attributes is mutual restraint; specifically: hardness overcomes softness, so metal overcomes wood; specialization conquers looseness, so wood overcomes earth; reality overcomes emptiness, so earth overcomes water. ; Many defeat few, so water overcomes fire; essence overcomes solid, so fire overcomes metal.

It seems that they are in conflict with each other, but in fact they are mutually reinforcing.

Mutual growth and mutual restraint are two inseparable aspects of anything. Without mutual generation, there would be no occurrence and development of anything; without mutual restraint, there would be no coordination and balance in the occurrence and development of things.

Mutual generation ensures the driving force and possibility of the development of things, and mutual restraint ensures the control and coordination of the development of things.

This kind of relationship between things, where there is restraint and restraint, and they complement each other and make use of each other, promotes and maintains the continuous growth, change and development of things.
  To sum up, using the various characteristics of the Five Elements, with metal, wood, water, fire and earth as the center, any phenomenon, characteristics, form, function, performance and other aspects in nature are similar to the characteristics of a certain element in the Five Elements, then we can In which row it is summarized, it is divided into five categories. On the basis of the five attributes, the categories are systematically summarized, and various complicated phenomena are sorted out into the laws of the five elements, so that the connections and changing relationships between the categories can be explained. "

When Chen Xiaojun described this passage, he was thinking clearly and speaking eloquently, and Chen Cong basically understood it.

"What is the relationship between yin and yang and the five elements?"

"The relationship between yin and yang and the five attributes in form and content. In other words, the content of yin and yang is reflected through the physical phenomena of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and the five attributes are in the form of existence of the content of yin and yang.

Therefore, yin and yang and the five elements complement each other. Yin and yang include the five elements, and the five elements contain yin and yang. The five elements must combine with yin and yang, and yin and yang must combine with the five elements. They are two aspects of one body. So if you want to study Yin and Yang, you can start from the five elements. ”    Looking at Chen Cong who was listening attentively, Chen Xiaojun had a flash of inspiration. He finally understood what was the biggest ideological difference between the two worlds of Douluo Continent and Blue Star in his previous life.

It's philosophy!
  On Douluo Continent, both the soul power system of soul masters and the bloodline system of soul beasts are expressed by attribute power. Douluo Continent scholars have relatively mature theories in terms of attribute application and summary. ,developed.

But it lacks the underlying logic, the understanding and concept of the world, the overall system theory, and the summary and elaboration of the overall world view.

What causes this deviation in thinking? I think it must be the church!
  Thousands of years ago, human beings were precarious, their lives were always in danger, and they only wanted to solve the problem of survival.

After the angel God swept away the darkness, the church has always existed for thousands of years, and multiple religions have developed simultaneously.

Because of Wuhun, because of this extraordinary personal power, the sects of aristocratic families focused on Wuhun and force, but lacked an overall systematic thinking and research on the operation of the world, so they all focused on studying Wuhun and its related aspects.

But it is actually the church that has ideological control. The church is actually closer to the general public because it requires faith.

The church only believes in gods, and the divine power of the gods only contains a very small number of rule attributes. Their priesthood is the embodiment of rules. For example, the God of Fire only understands the rules dominated by fire, and does not study and understand water. , soil.

To put it simply, because there are gods and the soul master system, Douluo Continent lacks the soil for the birth of great thinkers and philosophers.

The reason is very simple. Philosophy is really useless at the application level. The masters of the past have said:

"The use of philosophy is the great use of futility.

The uselessness of philosophy means that philosophy is different from specific knowledge and science and technology. Unlike science and technology, it is closely related to people's actual interests and can help people solve practical problems such as food, clothing, housing and transportation. In a sense, all science and technology serve people's actual interests in different ways and at different levels, so philosophy has no practical use in the real, tangible world.

The great use of philosophy means that philosophy is of great use in the existence of the invisible world that transcends reality. It can transform both the objective world and the subjective world. Regarding the objective world, philosophy can help people change their ideas. Any change in ideas will cause rapid or slow changes in the real world. Changing ideas means changing the world. For the subjective world, philosophy can help people improve their spiritual realm, experience values ​​higher than morality, and even help people resolve their doubts spiritually. "

So the same is true in Douluo Continent. Philosophy and thought don't add much to force, so no one has made any discoveries in this regard.

No, there may be, a soul guide! This is the product of human beings' application of the soul power of heaven and earth, and it has its own cognition and logic!

Obviously, its civilization perished, with only the Sun and Moon Continent remaining, but its underlying thoughts also no longer exist...
