Wood of Pine and Cypress (松柏木) — nayin of the jiazi cycle
WoodThe thirty nayin of the sixty-jiazi cycle — the classical five-element image each stem-branch pair carries.
松柏木 Sōngbǎi Mù
庚寅辛卯，松柏木
Wood of Pine and Cypress images the evergreen of the cold season: unfalling through winter, greener after frost — the wood of "keeping faith". It does not chase spring blossoming; it is its own four-season green.
Destiny texts read it as constancy and long life: the road once chosen is walked to the end, and time stands on their side. Modern reading: the evergreen temperament — compound interest’s best friend; just beware hardening persistence into stubbornness.
