Stick Thirty-Eight — Stick Thirty-Eight · Xinchou, the Silver in Winter Soil

辛丑

FavorableThe wind is with you, if you sail.

What the frost holds, the frost keeps safe.
Silver does not rust
for being buried a season.

Xinchou keeps fine metal in cold, storing earth: value preserved through a slow season. As a career reading, this stick reassures more than it directs — credentials, reputation and craft are not depreciating while circumstances hold them below ground. The favourable counsel is to use the storage season on polish: the portfolio refreshed, the skill renewed, the network kept warm. Buried silver, brought up bright, sells as new.
