3. Key significance in metaphysics
1. Fate (eight characters):
- Strong fire: If it is a favorable god, the person will have a successful career and be energetic; if it is an unfavorable god, the person will have a bad temper and be prone to conflicts.
- Weak fire: Wood is needed to generate fire (such as a name with wood attributes), or fire helps the body (such as wearing red); avoid water to suppress fire too much.
2. Fengshui:
- The south belongs to fire: it is suitable to arrange lights and red decorations to enhance vitality, but avoid excessive use (such as a kitchen stove that is too strong and needs to be adjusted).
- The way to balance: When there is too much fire element (such as a hot environment), earth (pottery) can be used to release the fire, or water (black, flowing design) can be used to balance it.
3. The five elements generate and suppress each other:
- Fire generates earth: Fire energy can enhance stability (e.g., enthusiasm leads to actual results).
- Fire suppresses metal: excessive fire consumes metal (e.g., impatience undermines decisiveness).
- Wood generates fire: Wood is the source of fire (e.g., learning new things can stimulate action).
- Water suppresses fire: excessive water suppresses fire (e.g., emotional indifference weakens enthusiasm).
4. The wisdom of fire application
- Harmony suggestions:
- People with strong fire: practice patience (such as meditation), and get in touch with blue/black (water element) to calm the mind.
- People with weak fire: cultivate action, wear red, get in touch with sunlight, and supplement B vitamins (Chinese medicine theory).
- Cultural metaphor:
Fire symbolizes civilization (The Book of Changes: "Li is fire, representing light and attachment"), and also warns that "too much is as bad as too little" - balance is the foundation.
