Water from the Spring (泉中水) — nayin of the jiazi cycle

Water

The thirty nayin of the sixty-jiazi cycle — the classical five-element image each stem-branch pair carries.

泉中水 Quánzhōng Shuǐ

甲申乙酉,泉中水

Water from the Spring images the wellhead rising from deep earth: long of source, cold and clear, inexhaustible in drawing and generous in use. This water does not race — its worth is having a true source.

Destiny texts read it as a clear, steady nature: ability supplied by endurance rather than outburst, and affection earned by reliability rather than noise. Modern reading: the source temperament — deepening the well deserves more of your time than splashing the water higher.
