Summary

From ancient times people tried to understand the world as a harmonious and holistic entity. Observing carefully all the phenomena in the surrounding environment, they recognized five patterns for existence and transformations in nature. These five patterns, under different names, are the building blocks of the main esoteric systems:

Chinese system: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water
Indian System: The five tattvas (in Sanskrit = principles) are: Earth (Prithvi), Fire (Tejas), Sky (Akasa), Water (Apas), and Air (Waju)
Hermetic system: Akasha or "æther", Earth, Fire, Water, and Air

These systems are similar and not contradictory, but we'll only approach here the one related to the Chinese metaphysical system.

Everything in the Universe starts from the "unnamable", the TAO, and manifests a dual character expressed with the help of Yin and Yang principles. Everything around can be categorized in one of the five patterns enumerated above and explained based on the interactions between these p[patterns. Even if they are called elements and they are referred to as Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, they must be regarded in a more metaphoric mode as principles or in other words as different forms of energy - Qi.

From Chinese metaphysics we'll only talk about Ba Zi, Feng Shui, and Ze Ri, and all of them are based on three basic concepts:

Yin and Yang theory
The principles of the 5 elements
The cosmic trinity

Course Structure - guideline

The Ba Zi Advisor blog represents an introductory course in Chinese metaphysics, divided into several chapters, each further subdivided into several blog articles. The structure and content of these will be outlined below.
