How to understand the Twelve Longevity Palace?

The previous article introduced the meaning of the twelve longevity palaces, and this article will talk about how to understand the twelve longevity palaces.

First of all, there is a misunderstanding. Many people think that the Twelve Longevity Palace refers to the specific life span period, but it is not at all. The Twelve Longevity is mainly used in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to define the strength of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

In addition to yin and yang, the five elements are also divided into strength and weakness. The strength is further subdivided, which is the difference between quantitative and qualitative.

What is quantitative? Here are a few examples for your understanding. For example, as we said earlier, the water is big and the wood drifts. Although the wood is nourished by water, if you throw a tree into the lake, or just give the tree a bowl of water, the tree will definitely not survive. It is also true that there are many fire plugs in wood. In a dense forest, it is not so easy to ignite a fire directly on the trunk. The lake water here, the forest is quantitative, the original situation will appear if there is too much water or too much wood. above problem.

What is qualitative? There are also a few examples. For example, if there is a shortage of wood and gold, there is only one tree, but the current state of this tree is the "Diwang" in the twelve longevity, which is equivalent to the strongest age of human beings. You take a handful of rust stains. When Banban's sword goes to chop down a tree, the state of the sword is equivalent to the "disease" in the twelve longevity.

Similarly, if the wood is in the "bath" state in Twelve Longevity, it is equivalent to a small sapling. If you use the sword in the "longevity" and "diwang" state to cut down the sapling, the sapling will easily become two pieces. , this kind of situation is what we normally understand Jinkemu.

Yin and Yang are used to distinguish the attributes of the five elements, and the twelve longevity are used to measure the quality of the five elements.

For example, fire is divided into C fire and Ding fire. In terms of meaning, C is the sun in the sky, and D is the flame of the world. But the sun and the flame are also strong and weak. It does not mean that the Ding fire is necessarily inferior to the Bing fire, but also depends on the state of the Bing fire and the Ding fire. For example, the warmth of the sun in the early morning of winter is far less than that of a campfire.

So, do you understand the Twelve Longevity Palace?
