Abstract:As a core indigenous philosophy of fine traditional Chinese culture, Wu Xing Theory features systematic thinking of "generation, restriction, transformation and dynamic balance", which boasts cross-domain application value. However, its abstract qualitative expression has restricted its implementation in modern scenarios such as science and technology, industry and education. Taking the "Five Spirits Divine Kids" as the exclusive embodiment symbols of the five elements attributes, this paper constructs a Five Spirits Divine Kids digital model with quantifiability, visual perceptibility and scenario adaptability. It disassembles the core attributes of the five elements — "Earth represents perseverance, Wood symbolizes vitality, Fire stands for courage, Metal embodies sharpness, and Water signifies agility" — into quantifiable indicators, and transforms the generation-restriction logic into digital early-warning rules and mutual-generation adaptation formulas, thus realizing the conversion of Wu Xing Theory from a traditional philosophical concept to a modern digital model. Through the construction of an indicator system, the quantification of a logical model and the binding of embodiment symbols, the research enables Wu Xing Theory to meet the needs of scientific and technological research and application. Meanwhile, with the Five Spirits Divine Kids as the carrier, it achieves the popularized dissemination of indigenous philosophy, providing a feasible practical path for the modernization and digital translation of fine traditional Chinese culture, as well as a decision-making tool integrating local roots and digital thinking for fields such as regional governance, health management and industrial development.
