Chapter 073 Ancient Proverbs

Mutual restraint is the opposite of mutual generation, which means that the relationship between two types of things with different Five Element attributes is mutual restraint. Specifically: wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, fire restrains metal, and metal restrains wood.

Zhou Wenwen, who stands out from the crowd, summed up what he believed to be the five elements.

The five elements refer to the five elements or energy and power of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

However, the relationship between the five elements can be inferred from the representatives of the power of the five elements.

Gold - metal, wood - plants, water - liquid, fire - thermal energy, earth - earth.

The corresponding relationship is that the five elements are mutually reinforcing, wood → fire → earth → metal → water → wood.

Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood, and the cycle continues.

Zhou Wenwen was even able to find scientific arguments and prove them.

Gold refers to solid metals such as gold, silver, iron, aluminum, and lead.

Wood refers to the cells in plants, such as chlorophyll a, b, c and d, as well as bacteriochlorophyll and chlorophyll of the genus Chlorophyll.

Water refers to liquid. To break it down, it can also be called water composed of hydrogen and oxygen.

Why can water produce wood? Because water is an important component of cell protoplasm

Water also plays a role as a solvent and transporter in the body, can dissolve a variety of electrolytes, and can also deliver nutrients, metabolic waste, and endocrine substances such as hormones.

Fire refers to heat energy.

Zhou Wenwen believes that in this world, which is similar to the one he was in before, any object has the attributes of the highest temperature—the melting point and the lowest temperature—the zero point from the moment it is born.

Only in this way can we explain that no matter how hard the paper is, it will still soften when exposed to high temperatures. In the end, the elements that make up the paper cannot support it and crack down to the melting point.

Under this premise, the relationship between fire generating earth and water extinguishing fire can be explained.

Because water has high thermal conductivity and specific heat, it can be used as a "heat carrier" to transfer heat between the body and the skin surface, helping the human body regulate body temperature.

Earth represents the earth and is the land of the earth, and most of the elements that make up earth are carbon- and silicon-containing compounds, which can just complement the relationship between earth and metal.

Yang wood restrains fire, yang fire restrains earth, yang earth restrains metal, yang metal restrains living water, and yang water restrains wood.

In summary, wood makes fire, and warm dry wood makes fire.

Fire produces earth, fire burns wood and produces earth.

Gold comes from the soil, and gold comes from the soil and minerals.

Metal generates water, and metal condensation generates water.

Water produces wood, and moisture produces wood.

In summary, wood generates fire because the wood trunk reaches the ignition point and produces fire; fire generates earth because fire burns the wood and produces earth.

Gold is born from soil because soil produces gold under gravity, chemical and other reactions.

Gold produces water because gold can turn into "water" or remove impurities to produce water.

Water produces wood because there is wood in the water.

Since there are five elements that are mutually reinforcing, there are also five elements that are interfering with each other.

The traditional five elements are gold → wood → earth → water → fire

Metal defeats wood, wood defeats earth, earth defeats water, water defeats fire, and fire defeats metal.

Hardness beats softness, so metal beats wood, because a knife can cut down trees.

Specialization is better than scattering, so wood is better than soil, because trees can take root in the soil.

Reality beats virtuality, homeland beats water, because dams can stop the flow of water.

Many are better than few, so water is better than fire, because great water can extinguish flames.

Spirit is better than solid, so fire is better than metal, because strong fire can melt metal.

What seems to be conflicting is actually mutually reinforcing.

Although Zhou Wenwen agreed, he also had his own understanding.

Metal overcomes wood because there is nothing in metal that can keep wood alive. Metal generates water, but this "water" is also poisonous to wood, such as copper water, aluminum water, and gold water that are melted by burning in the distance. Silver water is also like the metal nearby mercury.

And what about Muketu?

Zhou Wenwen thought for a while, and in the end only plants and cells needed elements from the soil. Even if gold was born in the soil, plants still needed a small amount of metal elements.

The best example is chemical fertilizers.

Or the chlorophyll mentioned above.

Chlorophyll is a type of green pigment contained in higher plants and all other organisms capable of photosynthesis.

There are many kinds of chlorophyll, such as chlorophyll a, b, c and d, as well as bacteriochlorophyll and Chlorophyll chlorophyll. The two types of chlorophyll a and b in higher plants are mainly related to food.

The common feature of its structure is that the structure includes a porphyrin ring composed of four pyrroles, and the four pyrroles are combined with the metal magnesium element.

So the remaining question is, how should we understand that earth controls water, water controls fire, and fire controls metal?

It is easy to understand that water defeats fire and fire defeats metal. As mentioned before, water can be used as a "heat carrier" and a heat extinguisher because of its high thermal conductivity and specific heat.

The principle of the heat extinguishing body is based on the laws of thermodynamics and the law of conservation of energy. In this process, water transfers the heat energy of fire away, and then fire can no longer continue to generate heat energy, because it is not a perpetual motion machine.

The first law of thermodynamics is the law of energy conservation and conversion in the field of thermal phenomena, reflecting the conservation of different forms of energy in the process of transfer and conversion.

It is expressed as: the increase in the internal energy of an object is equal to the sum of the heat absorbed by the object and the work done on the object.

That is, heat can be transferred from one object to another, or it can be converted into mechanical energy or other energy, but during the conversion process, the total value of energy remains unchanged.

Its extension and essence is the famous law of conservation of energy, and its expression is △U=Q+W.

This law has been verified by many physicists such as Mayr and Joule.

In the mid-19th century, based on long-term production practice and a large number of scientific experiments, it was established in the form of scientific laws.

The increase in the internal energy of an object is equal to the sum of the heat absorbed by the object and the work done on the object. The expression is △U=Q+W.

When the system is in an adiabatic state, the work only depends on the energy of the initial and final states of the system and has nothing to do with the process.

The energy of an isolated system is always conserved.

When the system goes through an adiabatic cycle, the work done by it is zero, so the first type of perpetual motion machine is impossible (that is, a machine that does not consume energy to do work).

At the beginning of the 19th century, due to the further development of steam engines, there was an urgent need to study the relationship between heat and work and make a theoretical analysis of the "power output" of steam engines. Therefore, the mutual conversion of heat and mechanical work has been extensively studied.

Evatt studied the relationship between the heat generated by the combustion of coal and the "mechanical power" provided thereby, and established a quantitative connection.

Danish engineer and physicist Kolding also studied the relationship between heat and work.

He engaged in experiments on frictional heat generation. In 1843, the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences signed the following comment on his paper: "The main idea of ​​Kolding's paper is the loss of mechanical action due to friction, resistance, pressure, etc., causing For heat, electricity, and similar actions within an object, they are proportional to the force lost."

The Russian Hess obtained the ideas of energy transformation and conservation from chemical research much earlier.
