Wood of the Pomegranate (石榴木) — nayin of the jiazi cycle
WoodThe thirty nayin of the sixty-jiazi cycle — the classical five-element image each stem-branch pair carries.
石榴木 Shíliu Mù
庚申辛酉，石榴木
Wood of the Pomegranate images the pomegranate tree: late to flower in spring, alone red in autumn — it does not compete with the hundred blossoms, but sets its fruit as the other trees shed. The wood of "late completion".
Destiny texts read it as ripened greatness: unremarkable in the first half, laden branches in the second. Modern reading: the late-maturing temperament — others bloom in spring; your season is the fruiting.
