So what are the ancient elements? Half the world includes Earth, Air, Fire, & Water while the other half thinks about Earth, Fire, Water, Metal and Wood. It all depends on which culture you grew up in. But since the world is basically one big city, it is time to harmonize the Eastern and Western ancient elemental notions, with a modern view.
Basically, the cultures that follow Western-Roman Astrology use four elements, while cultures that follow Eastern-Chinese Astrology came up with five elements. Both the Eastern and Western Zodiacs agree with three original elements: Fire, Water, and Earth. The difference is that East has a category for Metal and Wood, which the West does not. Yet, the West has a category for Air, while the East does not.
One theory is that the Western Mind knew that matter could exist in different forms: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Thus in a way, the early Western model of elements had a rudimentary understanding of the different states of matter: solid-Earth, liquid-Water, gas-Air, plasma-Fire.
Likewise in the East, another rudimentary aspect about matter was understood. Ancient Chinese thinkers figured that matter could be categorized as metallic or non-metallic with their Wood and Metal classifications. Wood is mostly made up of non-metallic matter like: carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and such. While the vast majority of other atoms are metal. There is even a few that straddle the line like Silicon and Selenium being "Trans-gendered atoms" so to speak.
The modern Water Elemental flag represents one huge aspect of personal identity. Namely the language that you naturally speak is your Water Tribe. We all have a native maternal Water Tribe. Although people may be a different heritages, nationalities, and religions. As long as another speaks your mother tongue you can instantly exchange ideas with sound waves.
Language learning fits the water model because water takes the shape a whatever glass it is poured into, or grow up in. If you were black or white and grew up in China with a Chinese family, you'd speak perfect Chinese with regional accent and all—to the shock of many Chinese people.
This was similar situation in the US and Canada some 50 years ago. If you were not white or black, and had an East Asian phenotype, you would receive compliments on your ability to speak English, even if you were born and bred in Canada or the US. Even today, some parts of the US will be astonished by Asian people who speak standard English. But the reverse is true (for now) for black and white people who grow up in East Asia.

When learning a language, you essentially learn to sail in a particular ocean. It takes time an practice. Learning a few words means you can paddle around in a linguistic kiddie pool, but you will need native speaker help, to get things done, otherwise you may drown in an alien culture. But as you get better with different languages you can get to the doggie paddle stage. Eventually with practice and striving you will be able to swim and navigate advanced depths of an alien linguistic ocean.
那麼,古代元素是什麼? 世界的一半包括地球、空氣、火和水,而另一半則考慮地球、火、水、金屬和木材。 這完全取決於你成長於哪種文化。 但是,由於世界基本上是一個大城市,是時候將古代元素概念與現代觀相協調了。
基本上,遵循西羅馬占星術的文化使用四個元素,而沿襲東西方占星術的文化則提出了五個要素。 東部和西部十二生肖都同意三個原始元素:火、水和地球。 不同的是,東方有一個類別的金屬和木材,而西方沒有。 然而,西方有一個空氣類別,而東方沒有。
一種理論認為,西方頭腦知道物質可能以不同形式存在:固體、液體、氣體和等離子體。 因此,從某種意義上說,早期的西方元素模型對物質的不同狀態有初步的瞭解:固體-地球、液態水、氣-空氣、等離子體-火。
同樣,在東方,人們也理解了關於問題的另一個基本方面。 中國古代思想家認為,物質可以分為金屬或非金屬,其木材和金屬分類。 木材主要由非金屬物質組成,如:碳、氧、氮、磷、硫等。而絕大多數其他原子是金屬。 甚至有幾個跨越線像矽和硒是"跨性別原子"可以這麼說。
但他的帖子是關於水的古代元素,特別是它的新品牌的旗幟,應該傳達水的概念。 元素水旗是青色、深藍色和綠色的真人三杆。
現代水元素標誌代表了個人身份的一個巨大方面。 也就是說,你自然講的語言是你的水部落。 我們都有一個土生土長的母性水部落。 雖然人們可能是不同的遺產、民族和宗教。 只要別人講你的母語,你就可以立即用聲波交流想法。
語言學習符合水模型,因為水的形狀是任何玻璃杯,或者長大後。 如果你是黑人或白人,在中國長大,有一個中國家庭,你會說一個完美的中文,帶有地區口音和所有-許多中國人的震驚。
大約50年前,美國和加拿大的情況也類似。 如果你不是白人或黑人,並且有東亞表型,你會收到讚美你說英語的能力,即使你出生在加拿大或美國。 即使在今天,美國一些地區也會對講標準英語的亞洲人感到驚訝。 但(就目前而言)在東亞長大的黑人和白人的情況正好相反。
當學習一門語言時,你基本上學會在特定的海洋裡航行。 實習需要時間。學習幾個單詞意味著你可以在語言兒童池裡劃槳,但你需要母語人士的説明,把事情做好,否則你可能會淹沒在異國文化中。 但是,當你得到更好的不同的語言,你可以得到狗槳階段。 最終,通過練習和努力,您將能夠在外星語言海洋的先進深處游泳和航行。
