Case Review
Original writing · hindsight review · anchored in known history, viewed through chart structure
Jia (甲) Wood is the towering tree, supported by Gui (癸) Water as Direct Resource in the year. Traditionally, Direct Resource signifies virtue and protection. Looking back on Yue Fei’s life of “serving the country with utmost loyalty”: his army’s rule, “even freezing to death, do not tear down houses; even starving, do not plunder,” and his mother’s teaching to “serve the country with utmost loyalty” mirror the character of Direct Resource. Wood nourished by Water flourishes, and the stirring passion of his ci lyric “The River All Red” offers a point of observation.
Rob Wealth revealed in the month signifies a life of much competition and obstruction: the twelve gold-lacquered recall orders and the injustice at Fengbo Pavilion can be observed in hindsight from the angle of “Rob Wealth seizing the momentum.” Strong Wood with no Metal to control it: his drive to “strike straight at Huanglong” and his lack of skill in court politics form a footnote to the temperament of “straight Wood that seldom bends.”
This is a cultural retrospective at the level of three pillars, not a fatalistic judgment.
