Fire of the Sheltered Lamp (覆灯火) — nayin of the jiazi cycle
FireThe thirty nayin of the sixty-jiazi cycle — the classical five-element image each stem-branch pair carries.
覆灯火 Fùdēng Huǒ
甲辰乙巳，覆灯火
Fire of the Sheltered Lamp images a flame under its shade: light that crosses no more than one room, yet burns unwavering through the night, devoted to a single desk. This is fire that "keeps to one thing" — the wind is kept outside, the flame simply shines.
Destiny texts read it as quiet focus and an inward mind: no chasing of noise, one line of work pursued deep — scholarship and craft suit it best. Modern reading: the deep-work temperament — one lamp lights more books than a whole plaza does.
