Chapter 2 Five Elements Personality and Destiny

People's emotions come from their character. To master one's emotions and change one's disposition, one must recognize one's character.Psychologists like to classify and study human personality, and there are various classification methods. Traditional psychology classifies human personality according to Yin-Yang and Five Elements.This is the five-element personality, and each personality has both Yin and Yang sides. What are the characteristics of the five personalities of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth? Which one is good and which one is bad?In fact, these five personalities have their own characteristics, there is no distinction between good and bad, each of which has two extremes of yin and yang.The five-element character is paired with yin and yang, so wood character has yang wood and yin wood, yang wood is the advantage of wood character, yin wood is the defect of wood character, and so on.We might as well list the main characteristics of these characters here first, and then analyze them carefully later: Yang Jin's character characteristics are: being loyal, lively, alert, considerate, and good at discovering the strengths of others.The characteristics of Yin Jin's personality are: frivolous, self-righteous, snobbish, and like to treat people around him differently.Jealous and stingy.

The characteristics of Yangmu's character are: upright, assertive, self-reliant, and benevolent.The characteristics of Yinmu's personality are: arrogant, disobedient, self-willed, not easy to listen to other people's opinions, go its own way, and easily confront elders or superiors. The characteristics of Yangshui's personality are: peaceful, quiet, elegant, and full of wisdom.The characteristics of Yinshui personality are: lazy, slovenly, worried, easy to withdraw, easily irritable, and impatient. The characteristics of Yanghuo's personality are: deep sense of reason, humility, etiquette, and generous demeanor.The characteristics of Yinhuo's personality are: cautious behavior, love of vanity, like to argue with others, refuse to let people get the reason, and sometimes do absurd things.

The characteristics of Yangtu's personality are: being honest, magnanimous, and doing things steadily and practically.The characteristics of Yintu personality are: suspicious, clumsy thinking, rigid behavior, indecisive in situations, fond of complaining about others, dishonest, often contradictory. In this way, there are ten basic personality types. Of course, some people will say: "I have so many excellent qualities listed in the five elements of yang, I have many kinds, and I am not limited to any one line." Or say: "I have all the problems listed in the five elements of yin. What's going on? ?” Because people are very complicated, and they don’t have only one personality, but a mixture of various personalities, but there are more of some of them than others.We can find out the most obvious character of ourselves or others, which is his main character, and other characters are derived from this main character.

For example, the author himself is tall and thin, self-reliant, upright, and assertive since he was a child. Sometimes he is easily disobedient and likes to do his own way. Therefore, it can be concluded that I am a person with a wooden personality, and both Yangmu personality and Yinmu personality account for part of it. Most of them are Yangmu.As for other personalities, such as fire personalities such as arguing with others and politeness, they are derived from wood personalities, because wood can make fire, and wood personalities are most likely to derive fire personalities. People's emotions come from their character. To master one's emotions and change one's disposition, one must recognize one's character.Psychologists like to classify and study human personality, and there are various classification methods. Traditional psychology classifies human personality according to Yin-Yang and Five Elements.This is the personality of the five elements, and each personality has its own yin and yang.

Personality affects mood, and mood induces disease. Five kinds of personalities may go to the bad side, that is, yin metal character, yin wood character, yin water character, yin fire character, and yin earth character. "Five poisons", that is, the five bad emotions that can make people sick.Annoyance damages the lungs, anger damages the liver, resentment damages the spleen, hate hurts the heart, and anger damages the kidneys. All diseases in the human body are nothing more than the five major systems of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, which are born from these "five poisons" .

The Yin-jin personality is easy to irritate, which is the mental state when dealing with people and things that you don't like and can't get rid of.Annoyance is often due to jealousy, always feeling that things are not going well, can't explain clearly, and the way is unclear; sometimes make a little gesture or say a few harsh words to vent your emotions, but then immediately cover it up. Yinmu's character is easy to make people angry, that is, he loses his temper when he sees others go against his own will, or he is indignant when he sees something unreasonable.At this time, people's rationality and so on are all gone, and in severe cases, they will even do some stupid things recklessly.

Yinshui personality is easy to make people annoying, and annoying is a depressed state of being useless and inferior.I am incompetent and slow to do things, but I always feel that others are not in line with my own wishes; I am not decisive when encountering things, I hesitate, and I regret it; the serious thing is that I always sulking in self-isolation. The yin fire personality is easy to make people hate, that is, when one's own interests are violated, or desires are not satisfied, or self-esteem is hurt, one will be brooding and have no chance to vent their anger, so they will hide it in their hearts, wait for an opportunity to vent, and plan How to retaliate, how to vent your anger.This feeling is hate.Serious hatred will never be forgotten for a moment, always thinking about how to get revenge, wishing to eat its flesh immediately and sleep its skin.

The yin-earth personality is prone to resentment, that is, when one is bullied or suppressed, when things go wrong, or when one suffers a disadvantage, one feels unspeakable.Resentment, I only blame others, I feel that others are bad, I am too wronged, so I feel more and more aggrieved, and when it is serious, it is easy to envy others.Resentment doesn't hurt others, it only hurts yourself. These five emotions are all generated by the heart.The heart is the king, and the other four organs are the important officials of the court. Every move of the heart is closely related to these four ministers.When the heart is angry, the liver bears all the consequences; when the heart has resentment, the spleen is responsible for all the effects; when the heart is angry, the lungs cannot eat; when the heart is upset, the kidneys have to pay for it; , Where is broken, no one can afford it, it has to be responsible for itself.The five viscera originally had their own jobs, but now they are required to serve the monarch and be responsible for these bad emotions generated by the monarch. It is an additional job of wiping the ass. Would people be willing to do it?Once the five internal organs are not happy, the toxins will be stored; when the five internal organs are overwhelmed, won't it be injured?

So, when the heart is angry, the poisonous gas enters the liver, the liver governs the tendons, and the poisonous gas enters the liver and finally resides in the tendons; when there is hatred in the heart, the poisonous gas enters the heart, the heart governs the blood vessels, and after the poisonous gas enters the heart, it is finally stored in the cardiovascular system; when there is resentment in the heart, When the poisonous gas enters the spleen, the spleen governs the flesh. When the poisonous gas enters the spleen, it finally distributes in the meat; when the heart is upset, the poisonous gas enters the lungs, and the lungs govern the fur. After the poisonous gas enters the kidneys, it finally hides in the bones.

The five poisons are the culprits that infringe the five viscera, and these culprits are sent by the king himself. Isn't such an emperor very confused?So the culprit is the mind itself. Do good deeds with good intentions, and good results will naturally follow. Character determines destiny, and heaven and earth have the virtue of being good at life, and they will not make things difficult for anyone. Therefore, people's destiny is originally a good destiny because of a bad personality, which ruins the destiny.Therefore, in this world, there are people with good fate and those with bad fate. People with good fate can get help wherever they go, and they can do everything right and wrong; Either you are poor, or your husband and wife are at odds, your children are unfilial, your friends are unrighteous, and everyone bullies you... Who is to blame for bad luck?You can't blame others, you have to blame your own character.What kind of character a person has is what kind of fate he will have. In the short term, it is not obvious, but in the long term, there is nothing wrong with it.

There are several best-selling books at the moment, called "Details Determine Success or Failure", "Details Determine Health", etc. These books draw attention to the universal connections in all aspects of our lives, and warn everyone to pay attention to everything in order to achieve our careers , to keep us healthy.But I was thinking, there are too many details in our life, if we pay attention and worry about it all the time, how tiring it would be!The details determine success or failure and health, so what determines the details?is character.Rather than worrying about the details, it is better to fundamentally change the character. There is a famous case in Zen Buddhism. Han Shan asked Shide to say: "Someone in the world beats me, scolds me, humiliates me, bullies me, scares me, cheats me, slanders me, despises me, bullies me, makes fun of me, tortures me, what should I do?" What should I do?" Shide replied: "You just have to endure him, teach him, fear him, avoid him, let him, humble him, ignore him, let him alone, ignore him, in a few years, you will see He." In this passage, what the monk Shide said is that you can't move your heart, don't move your temperament, and you can achieve great things only if you can endure humiliation. Naturally, it's good to die later; if you follow the way of ordinary people, it must be "annoy him, anger him , Curse him, take revenge on him", blindly mobilizing my temperament, fighting and fighting, I am afraid that in a few years, someone will still beat me, scold me, and bully me.Comparing the two, it is natural to see the great wisdom of "not being tempted". Those who are greedy and stingy are often poor, and those who are greedy for ease are often hard-working, because the bad things in their character make people have more haste than they want, and consume more energy instead. Of course, some people will retort that some people are born with a lot of money, while others are born with nothing. Isn't this destiny?What does it have to do with character?In fact, a noble birth is not necessarily a blessing, and a poor birth is not necessarily a misfortune. There are too many changes in life. Wealth is like the dew in the morning, and fate changes as soon as it is said!Some children from poor families grow up to be great, and some children from rich families become scum.What determines this change?Still character.Those who are rich and unkind, or those who give up on themselves in the face of adversity, must have no good fate. The five-element character of a person is the basic character of a person. It determines what disease a person is most likely to suffer from, and also determines the fate of a person. How is it determined?Let's talk about it in detail. Yin and five elements induce "five poisons": anger, hatred, resentment, annoyance, and annoyance.The consequences are very serious: life is also bad, and disease also comes. Yin Jin's personality is hypocritical, frivolous, and jealous. This kind of person always speaks with accusations, pretends to be unintentional, but actually insinuates the speaker, intentionally displeases the other party, and is not easy to argue with him .This is called scratching.Yin Jin is hypocritical, loves to take advantage of small things, and is unwilling to help others sincerely, so over time, others will alienate him, and he will not get help from others when things happen, and he will become poor if he is not careful.Yin-jin people are so annoying. When you see someone you don't like, you will have a strange feeling in your heart. It is very appropriate to describe it as "like a gnat in the throat".If you are stuck in the throat of others, others will not have a good impression of you. In the end, everyone's hearts will become more and more distant. Yinmu has a disobedient personality, lacks benevolence, is self-centered in everything, and often speaks without considering the feelings of others, so he tends to contradict others, and he feels that he has offended many people, but he doesn't know it yet.People with a wooden personality can feel this way even themselves. When they meet someone for the first time, they have a good impression of him. They feel that he is an upright, straightforward, insightful and excellent person. Willing to associate with him.He himself didn't know why.Because Yinmu is irritable and straightforward, and often speaks in disregard of other people's feelings, making it difficult for others to accept; Yinmu also likes to show off, and in real life, he often "shoots the first bird", so wood-natured people are easy to recruit. .When it came time to ask for help, old friends had no choice but to pretend not to see it, and not many were willing to help.Who is to blame?Is the world really hot and cold?I'm afraid not at all. Yin Shui's personality is lazy and stupid, lifeless, misunderstood others at every turn, dull and stupid by himself, always feel boring and lack of passion with this kind of person.Yinshui becomes irritated whenever he encounters troublesome people or things. This irritability not only hurts the kidneys, but also turns his mood, life, and career into a pool of stagnant water. Yinhuo's personality likes to argue, impatient, greedy, and has a fluke mentality all day long, wanting to get this and that.When this kind of person speaks, on the one hand, he likes to argue with others, making people feel that he is very reasonable and dare not approach; on the other hand, his words can also arouse others' greed.This is called scorching people, like fire. When arguing for reason, others dare not approach, and when the Lord is greedy, it makes people's brains burn.Yinhuo's fluke often leads to misfortune. An impatient person is greedy for nothing, and this is the most painful thing in life!Yinhuo itself has a lot of hatred, and his fate and encounters have made him have more hateful people and things, and the hatred increases. Not only does the disease come, but also the bitter fruit he has planted in his life has to be swallowed by himself. Yintu is clumsy, suspicious, and lacks integrity.He is unresponsive, and his understanding ability is very limited, and he cannot judge accurately when encountering a situation, so he instinctively protects himself and is afraid of being fooled.Because he himself cannot persuade others through normal means, he often makes up all kinds of lies as his own basis to overwhelm others.People with an earthy personality speak very bluntly and forcefully, which makes people breathless and feels oppressed.A liar must have a great ability, at least a super memory. He must remember every lie he tells, otherwise he will not be able to speak correctly in the future and will reveal his truth.So the more lies you tell, the heavier your physical and mental burden will be, can you not be burdened?The shady personality makes life tiring. For the sake of intuition, make a table below to summarize:
