Wu xing fire

[myfs_152159]

Hi master,
i had just found out my Wu xing belong to fire element.
the question is some say use fire color wear like green, brown, red, purple, orange.
Some say use white, blue, grey, black.
may I know which is the correct one?

In my opinion, presenting a gift has no direct correlation to the person's favourite colours:-
1. One consideration has more to do with one's culture or taboo.
1.1. For example, for the Chinese, it is considered very inauspicious to give someone a clock or a bell as a present. As this is like a "death wish".
1.2. Chinese also don't like giving others a pair of shoes.
2. Thus, it depends on individual cultures and taboos. Thus, I am sure that perhaps, your own culture do have certain taboos (if any).
3. In addition, some Chinese consider white as associated with "death". And often, any traditional customs or practises means giving someone wrapped in red is better. For example, during Chinese New Year, Red Hong Bao (red packets) filled with e.g. $10 notes are given to loved ones or their children.
4. For the Chinese, only at a wake do we hand over a white envelope filled with some money to the relative of the deceased!
5. Therefore, it has more to do with individual's own culture and perceptions.
6. Thus if one has a Chinese girl friend; giving a present wrapped in pure white paper to some may end up getting a tight slap!
7. Again different cultures, different views. Traditionally, Chinese wedding costumes are red in colour. As red is considered a very auspicious colour.
7.1. While for the west, white signifies purity e.g. a white wedding glown. Since white wedding dress is a common thing, and many Chinese are influenced by western culture, this is largely acceptable. But not otherwise.

thanks master for the fast response. The problem is one Feng shui master say wear on fire element & one say wear water element. For your view should follow which one fire or water?

1. Please note that this area is no hocus pocus.

2. It is strictly based on the Five Elements concept AND?

3. For example, there is a difference between a person who is a WEAK FIRE person vs a STRONG FIRE person.

4. Of course if one is a weak fire person; the his/her beneficial element or colours are Wood (Green, brown or wood tone) and Fire (Red, pink or purple).

4.1. IF one is a STRONG fire person, then, common sense under the Five Elements concept is that one should not have additional FIRE (Red, pink or purple). Water element is favourable for that person.

5. If you are into DIY, you have to understand the concept of the Five Elements.

6. As you can see from the above: A person with Para 4 can use fire element. While a person under Para 4.1 should stay clear of it.

7. This forum is not a spoon feeding session. As this concept is as mentioned, not rocket science. It is pure and simple based on the Five Elements concept.

8. You have to differentiate between being either STRONG or WEAK under Ba zi and five elements concept.
9. In a DIY environment like this, it is best that you go and research further for your own good.
10. As I mentioned earlier, if one is a fire person, one should find out if he/she is a strong or weak fire element person. And the favourable colours are not the same for a weak vs a strong person.
