Stick Twenty-Three — Stick Twenty-Three · Bingxu, the Bonfire at Dusk

丙戌

FavorableThe wind is with you, if you sail.

At dusk the bonfire is lit
and the scattered field
remembers it is a circle.

Bingxu sets great fire on late-autumn earth: the gathering flame at the end of a working season. As a relations reading, it favours convening — being the one who lights the fire others assemble around. A dinner, a call, a small deliberate reunion knits scattered people back into a circle, and the warmth returns multiplied to its source. Hospitality, this stick suggests, is the most undervalued position on the board.
