So far, we have touched on the subject of 10 Heavenly Stems. Now, from tomorrow onweard, I shall proceed further to investigate the characteristics of FIVE Elements.
Some may wonder is there a need for re-visiting such a seemingly simple concept :)
My view is such that :
All forms of Chinese Metaphysics has its origin from the ancient text : 易经 (I - Ching). Most of the scholars translated it as The Book of Changes.
I would, however, view it otherwise. To me, I - Ching is "The Book of Simplicity". It is just that human being complicate it.
I would like to quote the statement made by Charles Mingus :-
Making the simple complicated is commonplace ; making the complicated awesomely simple, that's creativity.
