Wood of the Great Forest (大林木) — nayin of the jiazi cycle
WoodThe thirty nayin of the sixty-jiazi cycle — the classical five-element image each stem-branch pair carries.
大林木 Dàlín Mù
戊辰己巳，大林木
Wood of the Great Forest images an endless forest: canopies reaching the sky, birds flocking to shelter in it. One tree is not a forest; the power here is scale and cover, not solitary beauty.
Destiny texts read it as broad capacity and natural leadership — willing to shelter others, able to gather collective strength while staying unassuming itself. Modern reading: the platform temperament — measured by how many thrive in your shade.
