Why did the ancients think that "immortality" was better than "linguan"?

Among the twelve immortals, there are "four Wangs", namely the Crown Belt, the Immortals, the Linguan and the Diwang. Among these four wangs, the crown belt and eternal life are generally prosperous, the Linguan is very strong, and the Diwang is extremely prosperous. So, which of these four booms is the one that the ancients thought was the "best"? It's immortality. (Image from pexels)

"Twelve Immortals" is named after Eternal Life, because Eternal Life is the first of the "Twelve Eternal Lives". Why is eternal life the first of the twelve eternal lives? It is because eternal life represents the state of birth. The ancients described the twelve eternal lives in terms of the state of the sun in the middle of the day: the sun that had just risen in the morning was immortal, while the sun at noon was linguan and diwang in chronological order. The morning sun, its development trajectory is step by step upwards. Although the midday sun is the hottest, the subsequent trajectory is slowly setting westward, in a process of "from prosperity to decline". Therefore, the morning sun is more energetic, just like the eternal life in the eight characters.

school

The ancients gave a lot of special connotations to eternal life, the most "well-known" of which is "school". In the "Five Elements Essence", it is said: "The Stagecoach Academy occupies the position of immortality, and the official position is in the land of Wangxiang, and the rich and noble articles are in the place of printing." It is also said: "The Orthodox Scholar, in the Position of The Five Elements of Eternal Life, Jia Yihai, Ding Ding Yin, Peng Hen Nong Shen, and Gengxin Mi are also", "The Zheng Xuetang is in the land of the Five Elements of Na Yin Immortality, such as the Jia Zi Jin Ren", which shows that the Lu Ming Fa regards the place of eternal life of the Five Elements and the Five Elements of Na Yin as "The School".

The Ziping Fa is different from the Lu Ming Fa, and the Three Lives General Society says: "Zi Pingyun: 'The scholar, the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the pure and beautiful qi of the yin and yang, the god of the five elements of immortality'. It is the case of A seeing the sea, B seeing noon, etc., or a person who sees it in the month is, it is not necessary to be complete at the same time", it can be seen that the Zi Ping Fa is based on the eternal life of Tiangan as the school star, not the eternal life of the five elements. In this regard, the original theory adopted by the Lu Ming Method and the Ziping Method is the same, but the details are different.

People who have an academy star in the eight characters have a high talent in learning and have a "bonus" to academic performance. We all know that people who are yinxingwang study well, but the eight characters of the two indian stars are almost prosperous, and the eight characters with the school are generally better than the eight characters without the school.

Lu and eternal life

There are many terms about immortality in the Five Elements Jingji, such as "Immortal Horse", "Immortal Wealth", "Immortal Lu", etc., all because the Immortal Qi is full of vitality and more momentum. As far as "longevity wealth" is concerned, its wealth will become more and more prosperous, so it is more liked by everyone.

If we look at the "Three Lives Of The Society", there are "slightly minor words" for Lu, such as "Yang Blade, Shoulder to Shoulder, Defeated Wealth, and Jianlu, although the names are different, it is actually a god of the same qi", and it will divide the fortune stars of the Lord of Life. However, there is no such assertion in the book's description of eternal life, which shows that the "positive" effect of eternal life on the fate lord is more obvious, while "Lu" is "positive and negative".

In the eight characters, the four linguans are not as good as the four immortals, because the four linguans are too prosperous, and the four immortals have no problem of excessive prosperity. It can also be said that one immortal in the eight characters is not too few, four immortals are not too much, the more the merrier - this is why the ancients thought that "eternal life" is better than "linguan".
