mingsonjia:joeyart:It’s almost time to celebrate the Chinese New Year (2/19/15, year of Ram)so it’s sheep, goat or ram…Quoting the taoist 霄遙派掌門 on weibo, “People in far ancient China identified five kinds of Yang, standing for the five elements metal, wood, water, fire and earth respectively, matching with Yiwei, Dingwei, Jiwei, Xinwei, Kuiwei.(Those are names of years in Chinese calendar) The year 2015 is Yiwei, Yi corresponds to wood and hair, the color of Yiwei in natural five elements is like white sea shells，and the shape of Yiwei in the position of metal is like circular arc, as a result, 2015 Yiwei is the white sheep.”“中國上古定義了五種羊分別為金水火土木對應乙未丁未己未辛未癸未。 2015 是乙未, 乙為弱木為毛髮，乙未先天五行為海中金色如海貝硨磲白也。乙木臨金位形如圓弧。所以乙未 2015 是白色的綿羊。”Hope this translation doesn’t confuse you, I try to do my best here. He is using traditional Chinese Fengshui knowledge to analyze it. Happy white sheep year. -- source link
