PREFACE 序言

大約五年前某日，突然醒覺到，過去十多年的農曆新年及其他節日，我及身邊大部份碰到的人，都是講很簡單、重複的祝福語，沒有人能講超過五句祝福祝賀語；加上，我打算教懂母語為英語的海外親戚 Pete, George, Julie Yee’s 等等，希望他們也能學懂，聆聽及講好達標的節日祝福語 (zuk1 fuk1 jyu5)。因此，因緣念起，我決定開始收集港式廣東話祝福詞語，及全面、適當的翻譯為英語，使他們明白真正含意。這就是緣起，誕生此「祝福語 (zuk1 fuk1 jyu5) 」文稿的故事。

One day about five years ago, I suddenly realized that during the Lunar New Year and other festivals in the past years, most of the people around me only used to say very simple and repetitive blessings, and no one can use over five sentences in total; in addition, we plan to teach our overseas relatives Pete, George, Julie Yee’s, etc., who are native English speakers and hope they can learn, listen and speak up the standard of holiday blessings in Cantonese. Hence, based on the thoughts of karma, I decided to start collecting and gathering all those Hong Kong-style Cantonese blessings phrases, and translate them into English comprehensively and appropriately, so that they can understand the true meaning clearly. This is the origin, the story that gave birth to this article of blessings phrases (祝福語zuk1 fuk1 jyu5)

之後，發覺文稿內容，對初學者來講，太多及複雜。故此，從中抽出18 +3 句，目標能夠在 24 小時內，學會聽、講及寫出，並理解那些「祝福語 (zuk1 fuk1 jyu5) 」的意義。詳細請看 「24 小時内學識 18 +3 句 香港節日祝福語：雙語版」。該「通勝 (tung1 sing3) 」是全球第一本，專題初學者的港式「祝福語通勝 (zuk1 fuk1 jyu5 tung1 sing3)」。

Later, I found that the content of the manuscript was too much and complicated for beginners. Therefore, 18 +3 sentences were extracted from it, with the goal of being able to learn, to listen, to speak and write within 24 hours, and understand those actual meanings of blessings. For details, please search for “Mastering 18 + 3 the Hong Kong-Style Cantonese Holiday Blessings Phrases in 24 Hours: Bilingual Version” via the internet. That was the world’s first special Hong Kong-style “Blessings Phrases All Victory (祝福語通勝 zuk1 fuk1 jyu5 tung1 sing3)!” for beginners.

這裏，是第二本相關的進階課題，是初級的延續，給中、高級水平的用家，一本大全、通勝。另該等「祝福語 (zuk1 fuk1 jyu5)」，最少已在香港流傳及使用超過七年。另在構思本專題「通勝 (tung1 sing3) 」的中間過程，因涉及到「十二生肖紀年」，進而需要了解「禽 （kam4）、虫 (wai2, cung4)、蟲 (cung4) 及龍 (lung4)」的意義等，而其中又需要涉及古代天文學，甲骨文、陰陽、五行、歷法等范疇的基礎認識。

Here, the second 「通勝 (tung1 sing3) 」(book) is related to advanced topics and is a continuation of the elementary level. It is a complete, comprehensive, collections (3C), All Victories 「通勝 (tung1 sing3) 」(book) for intermediate level users. These blessings have been circulated and used in Hong Kong for at least seven years. In addition, in the process of conceiving this special “通勝 (tung1 sing3) ” (book), because it involves the “Twelve Zodiac Years”, it is necessary to understand the meaning of “「禽 (kam4)、虫 (wai2, cung4)、蟲 (cung4) 及龍 (lung4)」“, etc., and it also needs to involve ancient astronomy, oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文), yin and yang, five elements, calendar and other categories. basic understanding.

最後，也順手加入了相關題目的詩、詞、歌、賦，使本通勝內容更加豐富，讀者能夠從中更加了解中國古典文學之優雅、獨特、唯美及傷感！其他現存使用的語言中，並沒有太多類似的應用形式及題材。

Finally poems (詩), lyric (詞), song (歌), and odes (賦) on related topics are also added to enrich the content of this “All Victories! (通勝 tung1 sing3) (book)”. Readers can better understand the elegance, uniqueness, beauty, and sadness of Chinese classical literature! There are least similar application forms and themes in other existing languages.

另當年有一位我的芬蘭朋友， Lauri Iso-xxxx，曾問我，可否解釋及翻譯一下，關於中國的歷法及節氣等資料，他想多了解一下，因當年無法找到，相關英文版的參考書。故此，本通勝某些段落，也是來得較晚給他的回覆，希望他不要失望。

In addition, a Finnish friend of mine, Lauri Iso-xxxx, once asked me if I could explain and translate it. He wanted to know more about the Chinese calendar and solar terms, as he could not find any relevant reference books in English. Therefore, some paragraphs of this edition of 「大全 通勝 (daai6 cyun4 tung1 sing3)」‘s replies to him, but it may come a bit relatively late, and I hope he will not be disappointed.

最後，祝願大家：zeoi3 hau6, zuk1 jyun6 daai6 gaa1：

Finally, I bless you all:

身體健康！法喜常滿！san1 tai2 gin6 hong1! faat3 hei2 soeng4 mun5!

Body in good health! The dharma joy is always full!

六時吉祥！千喜萬福1！luk6 si4 gat1 coeng4 ! cing4 hei2 maan6 fuk1!

Be auspicious for the six time periods of day and night！ Thousands of joy and ten thousand blessings!

闊哆喇鬧，我愛您2！kuo4 duo1 la3 nao4, ngo5 oi3 nei5 !

Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, Kidney, I love you!

1.1 The Methodology of Translation 翻譯的方法

本「通勝 (tung1 sing3)」，是學習及模仿美國佛羅達大學，佛學及華人宗教，伯理奧教授的講座及著作，如何翻譯佛經的方法為基礎。簡單來說，盡量參照中文的原本意義，直接翻譯為簡單易懂的英語。地方或人名如有對照翻譯的英文，則使用英文，如沒有則保留拼音，全通勝的拼音以粵語及正體中文為主，普通話拼音為副。

This “通勝 (tung1 sing3) (book)” is based on the translation methods of Buddhist scriptures from Professor Mario Poceski’s (伯理奧教授), Buddhism and Chinese Religion (佛學及華人宗教) at Florida University (佛羅達大學) in the United States (美國). To put it simply, we aim to translate the Chinese characters directly into simple and easy-to-understand English, while maintaining the original meaning and tone. If there is a corresponding translation of the name of a place or person in English, then we use English. If not, we will keep the pin-yin. The whole “通勝 (tung1 sing3) (book)” is mainly Cantonese and traditional Chinese, with Mandarin pin-yin as the secondary.

另要一提的是，正體或繁體中文字體的演化源頭，跟據考古及歷朝文獻，都是指向商朝的甲骨文，或金鼎文等。另粵語或廣東話的歷史非常悠久，可追溯到中原漢朝以前的官話，雅言 (ngaa5 jin4) 等。故懂得粵語及正體或繁體中文字的，閱讀古代文獻及書籍等，相對較容易理解。另古代文獻及書籍等，是沒有標點符號，各標點符號的位置，會影響到各字句的意思。

It should also be mentioned that the origin of the evolution of regular script or traditional Chinese characters, according to archaeological and historical documents, points to the oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文) or metal tripod inscriptions (金鼎文) of the Shang Dynasty. In addition, Cantonese has a long history, which can be traced back to official Mandarin (官話), Elegant (Ya) language (雅言 ngaa5 jin4), etc. dating back to before the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains (中原), making it a unique and complex language. Therefore, it is relatively easy for those who understand Cantonese and traditional Chinese characters to read ancient documents and books, while ancient documents and books do not have punctuation marks. The position of each punctuation mark will affect the meaning of each sentence.

目前，已知粵語或廣東話，是全球最難學習的語言之一。粵語每個字體，都有九個聲調，每聲調都是另一個字，各字都擁有各自獨立的意義，而普通話祇有四個聲調。

Currently, “Yue language (粵語)” or Cantonese (廣東話) is known to be one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world. Each character in Cantonese has nine tones (九個聲調); each tone is another character; and each character has its own independent meaning, while putonghua (普通話) has only four tones (四個聲調).

每句正體或繁體中文字數量不等，組合成句，長度和結構也不同，單字、雙字、参字、四言至十一言體等也有，也各自有獨立的組合意義或故事。故對初學及中級使用者來說，要快速睇得明白及完全理解內容，真的非常復雜。再加上語言的複雜性，對於初學者、中級使用者（包括人工智慧）來說，在沒有導師的情況下，一次性正確、準確地理解是非常具有挑戰性的。

Each sentence has a different number of regular scripts or traditional Chinese characters, it can vary in length and structure, from single character, double characters, three characters, four-character style (四言體) to eleven-character style (十一言體) phrases, etc. Each sentence has its own independent, combined meaning or its origin story. Therefore, it is really complicated for beginners and intermediate users to quickly and fully understand the content. This, combined with the complexity of the language, it can make it very challenging for beginners, intermediate users, including AI to understand correctly and precisely in one go without proper tutor.

故此，各字句及組的意義，可以非常濃縮及精簡，需要仔細分析和解釋。翻譯前，必需把相關字句按意義展開，把其他相關隱藏的字顯現，準確及精確地還原原文意義。否則，翻譯出來的意思，可能會出現極大的扭曲、偏差，導致誤解或不準確。。

Therefore, the meaning of each sentence can be very condensed and streamlined, requiring careful analysis and interpretation. Before translation, it is essential to expand the relevant sentences according to their meanings, reveal other related hidden meanings, words, and restore the original meaning accurately and precisely. Otherwise, the translation may be greatly distorted, deviated, leading to misunderstandings or inaccuracies.

另各讀者的中文水平，各人都不相同，這會影響他們對內容的理解。由於語言層次和文化理解的個體差異，每個人理解的內容和意義可能有所不同。 翻譯中，使用的英語詞彙和理解的深度，也可能存在差異，導致許多情況下，每個人理解的內容有差異。

In addition, the Chinese proficiency of each reader is different, which can affect their understanding of the content. Due to individual differences in language proficiency and cultural understanding, the content and meaning understood by each person may vary. The English vocabulary used in the translation and the depth of understanding may also differ, leading to variations in the content that each person understands in many cases.

故此，本「通勝」內的古代文言體的理解及其翻譯語文，乃作者的對該等文獻的理解及演譯，有機會跟其他人類似，或完全不相同，希望大家能理解。大家如有本「通勝」的意見，可電郵給作者。感謝大家！

Therefore, the understanding of ancient classical Chinese styles, literature and their translation languages in this “通勝 (tung1 sing3) (book)” is based on the author’s interpretation. It may be similar to others, or completely different, depending on the individual’s background and perspective. I hope everyone can understand it in advance.

1.2 Application of Blessings Phrases 祝福語的應用

1.2.1 The Etiquette (禮) of “Arch Mudra”. 「拱手禮 （gung2 sau2 lai5）」

1.2.2 What is 「言出法隨(jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」? 何謂「言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」?

1.2.3 Typical Example of 「言出法隨(jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」 「言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」實例

1.2.4 Why use「通勝 (tung1 sing3)」instead of 「書 (syu1) (book)」? 為何用「通勝 (tung1 sing3)」取代「書 (syu1)」？

祝福語的應用，非常簡單，包括，但不限製如下：

1、口講，一般需配合「拱手禮 （gung2 sau2 lai5）」。

2、書寫，紙張或即時通訊軟件。

3、雕刻、繪畫或刷塗。

4、用意念讀、寫、講、及注入。

5、吞食飲喝，等等。

操作應用的形式很多不能詳列，而最高級的效果，是「言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」，或如用較負面的字描述為「烏鴉嘴 (wu1 ngaa1 zeoi2)」、「好嘅唔靈，醜嘅靈！(hou2 ge1 m4 leng4, cau2 ge1 leng4!)」。

The application of blessings is very simple and includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Oral speaking, typically accompanied by the etiquette (禮) of “Arch Mudra (拱手印)” (a hand gesture used in Chinese practices).

2. Writing, on paper or digital form (input into any instant messaging software).

3. Engraving, painting or brushing, etc.

4. Using a thought or Ideology to chant, write, speak, or infuse into things.

5. Ingesting (swallowing, eating, drinking, etc.)

There are many forms of operation and application that cannot be listed in detail. The most advanced effect and outcome is “言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)” (literally “words become reality”), or in more negative terms, “the crow’s mouth (烏鴉嘴)(wu1 ngaa1 zeoi2)” (meaning bad things come true), or “good things don’t work, ugly and dishonourable things work! (好嘅唔靈，醜嘅靈！)(hou2 ge1 m4 leng4, cau2 ge1 leng4!)“.

一般來說，書寫在紅紙上做「揮春桃符 (fai1 ceon1 tou4 fu4)」，一般垂直方式，由上向下寫，並黏貼於牆壁上；及或掛在桃花枝上；及或寫在即時通訊軟件。「揮春桃符 (fai1 ceon1 tou4 fu4)」意思是揮舞毫筆，書寫優美語的中式書法。它代表桃木上彫刻的古代符瑞、符籙，用作慶賀新春及護衛家宅辟邪！

In general, writing for the “Red Banner Peach Charm” (揮春桃符 fai1 ceon1 tou4 fu4), usually written vertically from top to bottom, and pasted on the wall；and/ or hung on peach blossom branches；and/ or sent via instant messenger.

The ”Red Banner Peach Charm” (揮春桃符 fai1 ceon1 tou4 fu4) means waving the brush and writing beautiful Chinese calligraphy. It represents an ancient auspicious charm and talisman symbols carved on the peach wood, which is used to celebrate the New Year and protect the home from evil spirits!

BACK

1.2.1 The Etiquette (禮) of “Arch Mudra”. 「拱手禮 （gung2 sau2 lai5）」

一般口講的新年祝福語，必需配合正確的「拱手禮 （gung2 sau2 lai5）」，即「拱手印 （Arch Mudra）」，方能達到禮儀的標準。該「拱手印」分男式及女式，左及右手動作相反。

Ordinary New Year Blessings, such as those spoken verbally, must be accompanied by the correct “拱手禮（gung2 sau2 lai5）“, that is, a traditional Chinese greeting gesture, the “Arch Mudra （拱手印）“, to meet the etiquette (禮儀) standards. That “Arch Mudra （拱手印）” is performed differently for men and women, and the movements of both left and right hands are opposite.

男式「拱手」如下：右手握拳舉在胸前，左手掌從左邊包著右手拳頭，左手大拇指放在右手拳頭頂部，再把右手大拇指放在左手大拇指上，形成「X」形狀。馬上可以口講祝福語，直至完成，方可雙手鬆開垂直放下。該手印代表「卍（萬）福」兩字，吉祥如意 ( gat1 coeng4 jyu4 ji3) 之義。

For men, the “Arch Mudra” involves making a fist with the right hand and raising it in front of your chest. The left palm then wraps around the left palm around your right fist from the left, with the left thumb placed on top of your right fist. The right thumb is then placed on top of your left thumb to form an “X” shape. The blessing phrases can e spoken immediately followed by releasing both hands and putting them down vertically. That gesture “Arch Mudra” represents the two characters “ten thousand （卍， 萬) blessings (福)”, which means “Be as auspicious as you hope! (吉祥如意！)”.

女性的「拱手禮」也類似，但左手握拳，右手從上方圍住。其餘步驟相同。。

For women, the “Arch Mudra” is similar, but the left hand forms the fist, and the right hand wraps around it from the right. The remaining steps are the same.

1.2.2 What is 「言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」? 何謂「言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」?

「言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」：言語講出之後，法力法則，馬上跟隨生效及顯化為物理現實！

After the words are spoken, the law of mana, a concept found in certain spiritual or magical traditions, will immediately take effect and manifest into physical reality (言出法隨jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4).

BACK

1.2.3 Typical Example of 「言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」 「言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」實例

前段時間，J 君跟遠道歸來探訪的親戚 T，及家族成員聚會。同臺的一位年長的親戚 Y 閑聊時提出，經常有打固網電話給住在離島的某親人 K，但無法接通、無人聽電話。當天早上，連綿大雨，香港天文臺預測局部地區會有雷暴，天雨路滑，住在離島山上的年長親人 K 沒有出席聚會。當時，J 君的意見解釋就是，親戚 Y 可能不太清楚一個實況，住在香港新界及離島的家庭，會有較多該方面的經驗。但凡，如遇到打雷雷暴的天氣時，家中的電子電氣產品，如已經一直接上了電源，系會好大機會瞬間被雷電劈死。故此，很多電子及電氣產品，使用完畢，必需拔出插頭。

Some time ago, Mr. J had a gathering with relatives T and family members who had returned from afar to visit. An older relative Y who was on the same table mentioned in a casual chat that he often made landline calls to a relative K who lived on an outlying island, but could not get through and no one answered the call. That morning, there was continuous heavy rain, and the Hong Kong Observatory predicted that there would be thunderstorms in some areas. The rain made the roads slippery. K, an elderly relative who lives in the mountains on the outlying island, did not attend the party due to the inclement weather. At that time, Mr. J’s explanation for his opinion was that relative Y might not be aware of the actual situation. Families living in the New Territories and outlying islands of Hong Kong would have more experience in that area. In any case, if you encounter thunderstorm weather, once the electronic and electrical products in your home have been connected to the power supply, there is a high chance that they will be struck to death by lightning in an instant. Therefore, many electronic and electrical products must be unplugged after use immediately.

被雷電劈死次頻最多的產品，系固網電話，一年內需更換兩次或以上，也不出奇。如連續打了數次固網電話，無法接通或無人接聽，那就有機會系固網電話，已被劈死，或話筒未放好，或電話線路老化及接觸不良引起。

The products that are most frequently killed by lightning are fixed-line telephones. It is not surprising that they need to be replaced twice or more within a year. If you make several fixed-line calls in a row but cannot get through or no one answers, then it is possible that the fixed-line phone has been hacked, or the telephone receiver and microphone is not placed properly, or the phone line is ageing and has poor contact.

聚會完畢後已是下午，J 君電話聯絡親人 K，親人 K 聊到當區今午某時，有雷暴，電箱有跳閘。雷暴大雨過後，電閘推回位後，發覺那新購的日本雪櫃沒有燈，也沒有馬達震動感覺，似乎打雷時劈死咗！經檢查後，兩組電源插頭內的 fuse 正常，雪櫃確認無功能，電子線路板可能劈死咗！數日後，再安排總代理的維修師傅檢查，更換雪櫃背後的電子線路板後，馬上正常運作。至此，J 君從那個案已明白及知道，他不能隨便開口說話，最好多講祝福語，因「言出法隨 (jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4)」系有可能發生及馬上顯化。

Later that afternoon after the party. Mr. J called his relative K. K told J that there was a thunderstorm in the area at some time this afternoon and the electric box tripped. After the thunderstorm and heavy rain, after pushing the circuit breaker safety switch back, then found that the newly purchased Japanese refrigerator had no lights and no motor vibration. It seemed that it had been killed by thunder!

Figure 1: Typical Example of circuit board assembly of refrigerator. Photo taken by John Geitsiang.

After a quick inspection a few days later, it was found that the fuses in the two sets of power plugs were normal and the refrigerator was confirmed to be non-functioning. The electronic circuit board may have been damaged! A few days later, the maintenance technician from the general agent was arranged to come and check. After replacing the electronic circuit board on the back of the refrigerator, it started to operate normally. At that point, Mr. J has learned and understood from that case, he cannot speak casually, and it is best to say more blessings phrases, because “After the words are spoken, the law of mana will immediately take effect and manifest into physical reality(言出法隨 jin4 ceot1 faat3 ceoi4).” its may occur and manifest immediately and instantly.

1.2.4 Why use「通勝 (tung1 sing3)」instead of 「書 (syu1) (book)」? 為何用「通勝 (tung1 sing3)」取代「書 (syu1)」？

那個很簡單，中文「書 (syu1)」字的讀音，跟「輸 (syu1) 」字的讀音相同，「輸 (syu1) 」意思為「輸掉，有損失，虧本」，睇到都不吉利。

故大部份廣東及香港人，多不喜歡使用該字， 他們偏向使用「通勝 (tung1 sing3)」取代，該用法歷史悠久。「通勝 (tung1 sing3)」的意思為「通通勝利 (All Victories)」，那非常鼓勵勵志及正面。

That’s very simple. The pronunciation of the Chinese characters “書 (syu1)” and “輸 (syu1)” is the same in Cantonese. However, the character “輸 (syu1)” represents “lose, have a loss, lose money.” and is considered unlucky. No one want to see and use it.

As a result, most people in Canton and Hong Kong prefer to use “通勝 (tung1 sing3)” instead. That usage has a long history. “通勝 (tung1 sing3)” means “All Victories”, which is very encouraging and positive.

“Yin Yang (陰陽 jam1 joeng4)“, is also called「兩儀 (loeng5 ji4)」, and 「儀 (ji4)」means “Instruments (儀表), Appearance (儀容), Ceremony (儀式). Therefore, 「兩儀 (loeng5 ji4)」, represents “Two, Dual Appearance (兩儀容 loeng5 ji4 jung4)“, or “Double Appearance (雙重外貌 soeng1 cung4 ngoi6 maau6)“.

2.2 The Five Elements 五行 (ng5 hang4)

2.2.1 《The Great Meaning of Five Elements • Roll One • Explaining Why Things are Named • Eastern Han Dynasty • Xi Liu》《五行大義 • 卷第一 • 釋名 • 東漢 • 劉熙》

2.2.2 The Great Meaning of Five Elements 五行大義 (ng5 hang4 daai6 ji6)

五行 (ng5 hang4)，即 木 (muk6)、 火(fo2)、 土 (tou2)、 金 (gam1)、 水(seoi2) 五種物質，那是古代道家視為構成萬物的基本元素。五者相生及相剋，並使宇宙萬物運行變化，形成各種現象，包括日常生活所有事物，如方位、季節、五色等等。

The Five Elements (五行 ng5 hang4 ) are five substances: Wood ( 木muk6), Fire ( 火fo2), Earth ( 土tou2), Metal ( 金gam1), and Water ( 水seoi2). Ancient Taoists (道家) considered these five substances to be the fundamental elements of ten thousand (all) (萬) things (物). The five are mutually reinforcing (相生) and interfering with each other (相克), causing ten thousand (all) things to move and change constantly in the universe. This includes various phenomena (現象) in daily life, such as Directions (方位), Seasons (季節), Five Colours (五色), etc.

五行 (ng5 hang4)，是中國古代道教哲學的一種系統觀，廣泛用於中醫、堪輿、命理、相術、占卜等方面。

The Five Elements (五行 ng5 hang4) is a systematic view (系統觀) of ancient Chinese Taoist philosophy (道教哲學), which is widely used in Traditional Chinese medicine (中醫), land surveying the region, observing and judging the Winds and Waters of the land (堪輿) (Feng Shui), numerology (命理), physiognomy (相術), divination (占卜), and other areas of traditional Chinese culture.

Figure 3: Typical application scope of the Five Elements. 五行 (ng5 hang4) 的典型應用

範圍。

五行 (ng5 hang4) 的意義，包涵藉着陰陽演變過程的五種基本動態：木（代表伸展）、火（代表炎上）、土（代表中和）、金（代表收斂）水（代表潤下）。例如，木代表成長、擴張，火代表能量和轉化，土代表穩定和支持，金代表細化和收縮，水代表流動性和適應性。

The meaning of the Five Elements (五行 ng5 hang4) includes the five basic dynamics through the evolution of Yin and Yang (陰陽): Wood ( 木muk6) (representing stretching), Fire ( 火fo2) (representing inflammation), Earth ( 土tou2) (representing neutralisation), Metal ( 金gam1) (representing convergence), and Water (水 seoi2 ) (representing moistening). For example, Wood represents growth and expansion, Fire represents energy and transformation, Earth represents stability and support, Metal represents refinement and contraction, and Water represents fluidity and adaptability.

中國古代哲學家，用五行 (ng5 hang4) 理論來，說明世界萬物的形成及其相互關係。它強調整體，旨在描述事物的運動形式，以及轉化關係。

Ancient Chinese philosophers used the Five Elements Theory （五行理論）to explain the formation （形成）and interrelationship （相互關係）of all things in the world. It emphasises the whole （強調整體）and aims to describe the movement patterns （運動形式）of things and their transformative relationships （轉化關係）.

2.2.2 The Great Meaning of Five Elements 五行大義 (ng5 hang4 daai6 ji6)

《五行大義 • 卷一 • 一者 釋五行名 • 蕭吉》：夫萬物自有體質，聖人象類而制其名，故曰：「名以定體。無名乃天地之始，有名則萬物之由。以其因功涉用，故立稱謂。」

《The Great Meaning of Five Elements (五行大義) • Roll one (卷第一) • Explaining why things are named （釋名）• Gat Siu (蕭吉) of the Sui Dynasty（隋）》said: “Ten thousand (all) (萬) things (物) have their own physique (體質) and characteristics, and sages use Symbols (象) to classify (類) them, and give them names. It is said that the name to be fixed as a body, that is the essence of a thing. Before the creation of names, there was only the primordial state (No name) at the beginning (始) of heaven and earth (天地). Names gave rise to the origin (由) and existenceof ten thousand (all) things (萬物). The need for names arose from the function (功) and applications (用) of things (物). Therefore, the system of appellation (稱謂) was established.

《禮記》云：「子生三月，咳而名之。」及其未生，本無名字。五行為萬物之先，形用資於造化。豈不先立其名。然后明其體用？

《Book of Rites (禮記)》says: “The infant, who was aged three months old, and was named after coughing.” Before he was born, he had no name. The Five Elements (五行) are fundamental and the first (先) to ten thousand (all) things (萬物), its form (形) and function (用) contribute to creation (造化) of all things. Shouldn’t the name be given (先立其名形) before understanding (明) its physical (體) use and application (用) ?
