Since the original text knows the bones of the gods, it is necessary to distinguish between rigidity and softness. If you combine hardness with softness, the five elements will generate grams, which is the so-called "innate seed." Supplement is not enough, but more venting. News and life are linked, which is more obvious.

After the translation is confirmed, we should further distinguish between rigid and flexible. The combination of rigidity and softness stems from the interaction of the five elements, which Taoism calls "innate seeds" and is inherited by human beings. It is necessary to supplement the deficiency of rigidity and softness, and eliminate the surplus, so that rigidity and softness can be combined to achieve a harmonious state. The combination of rigidity and softness and the rise and fall of yin and yang are closely related to people's fate, which is easy to find in comparison.

It turns out that the five elements are legal, wood and fire are combined, and wood and hydration are consistent. Followed by rich people, even if it is expensive, it is also between ups and downs. Gold and fire are enemies, sometimes combined with fire, which is natural for people who push earth and water. This inverse combination is very expensive. However, the so-called inverse combination, the gold shape with fire is natural, and the fire shape with gold is thirty dead; Soil has soil and nature, and soil and water are lonely and lonely; If the wood is made of gold, then the sword will be carried with you. In addition, when they are linked together, they are all mixed, and scholars will soon be right.

There is a relationship between the five elements, which is called "harmony", and "harmony" can be divided into "harmony" and "opposition", such as Muhuo and aquatic wood. Most harmonious people are rich, but they have not become rich. Even if they get rich occasionally, it can only be a temporary thing, and it is difficult to last. Gold hates fire, sometimes fire and gold are complementary, and this is the relationship between water and soil. This is the opposite. People with this inverse combination are often important. However, there are differences in inversion.

If it is a golden man in fire, it is a good thing. On the contrary, if it is a fire-shaped person, it has a metallographic phase and died at the age of 30; It's no problem for a native to carry soil. If it is water-shaped, then he will be lonely all his life. Woodenhead would be very noble if he had a golden image. On the other hand, if you look at a man with a wooden face, you will have a sword disaster and a fatal disaster. As for other far-fetched statements, they are all mixed-up models and cannot be classified as literati orthodoxy.

The original five acts are rigid outside and soft inside, so those who are angry, jumping and deep are also. The joy is high and the anger is heavy, which is almost "rude". It is simply "stupid" not to squat or jump. At first, I was superficial, but later I went deep, close to "rape." Mole, fame can be expected. Half-stupid people will win people's lives. Pure rape can be open-minded, and a man will eventually succeed. If you are simple and careless, you will give up halfway. Nine times out of ten, people will ignore it.

The five elements are just the external expression of the spirit of combining rigidity with softness, which is called rigidity outside and softness inside, and rigidity inside refers to emotion, excitement and mentality.

When you meet a happy event, you will be overjoyed. When you encounter troubles, you will be furious and your emotions will be forgotten in an instant. This temperament borders on rudeness. There is no publicity when you are calm, and you will not be excited when you meet happy things. This kind of person is too feminine, and his temperament is close to "stupid". When encountering something, the initial consideration is superficial, but on second thought, it is thoughtful and in-depth. This kind of person is masculine and feminine, and his temperament is close to "rape". A mole, that is, a person with a quick mind, can often achieve fame and fortune. Rude and stupid people can dominate their hearts and make themselves happy in know life, so their life span often exceeds that of ordinary people. A pure traitor is a quick-witted person. If he is open-minded, he will eventually succeed in his career. If you are careless, you must give up halfway.

Observing people from the aspect of inner hardness and softness is often overlooked, and nine times out of ten people will make this mistake.

Comment on "God" and "bone" are mutual foundations, and only with this can there be seeds. "Combining rigidity with softness" is the "innate seed" of phase. In other words, "spirit" and "bone" are very important, and "rigidity" and "softness" are equally important. Only by distinguishing between rigidity and softness can we gain enlightenment.

Judging characters with the combination of rigidity and softness of yin and yang and five elements has a long history and is most respected by astrology. Zeng Guofan thought that people's "innate" character and destiny can be compensated by the method of "insufficient to make up, excessive to vent", and also inherited the Taoist theory to some extent. In particular, his theory of "being rigid inside and being soft outside" revised the mechanical tendency of "being rigid outside and being soft inside", emphasizing that people should observe and judge characters through their words and deeds, thoughts and conduct, and focusing on analyzing the qualities of three kinds of characters: rough, stupid and treacherous. This has changed from the theory of "being firm on the outside and being soft on the inside" to the theory of "divination", such as the so-called "happiness is high and anger is heavy, and it is forgotten at a glance, which is close to" rough ". It is almost "stupid" not to squat or jump. I was superficial at first, but later I changed my mind deeply and approached' rape'. "

Zeng Guofan believes that people can't stand on their own feet without rigidity, and they can't stand on their own feet without self-improvement. People can't be soft. If they are not soft, they won't get along. If they don't get along, they will be isolated. But if it is too rigid, it will fold, and if it is too soft, it will be frustrated. Only the combination of rigidity and softness is the highest state of "happiness". Zeng Guofan himself was strong in his early years, offended many powerful people in the DPRK, and was therefore excluded. Later, he seriously studied Huang Lao's theory, realized that Yin and Yang were born together, and rubbed it with Confucius' "golden mean", so he became famous and retired. From this perspective, this "combination of rigidity and softness" way of looking at people is a summary of his own life experience after vicissitudes.
