Heavenly stems

병화(丙火)

the graph of the sunlight

What it means

丙 byeong is the graph likened to the sun at midday.

It is the third of the ten heavenly stems and belongs to the yang aspect of fire.

It shines on all alike, so it is bright and unhesitating.

It suits the exposed place but cannot hide what is inside.

What the document says

Bright and hot.

Wherever it stands, it shows.

It cannot hide what it feels.

Govern that heat with steadiness and it shines long.

Original

한낮의 볕과 같아 감출 것이 없더라. 숨기지 아니하니 사람이 절로 모이고, 그 밝음이 때로 눈을 상하게 하더라.
