Heavenly stems

무토(戊土)

the graph of the mountain

What it means

戊 mu is the graph likened to mountain and embankment.

It is the fifth of the ten heavenly stems and belongs to the yang aspect of earth.

Thick earth that does not move, so it is dependable and heavy.

It stands where something must be held back, and when it hardens it becomes stubbornness.

What the document says

Heavy and dependable.

Ordinary trouble does not shake it.

It changes slowly and holds fast to its way.

Take in the new current and it grows larger.

Original

큰 산과 같아 스스로 움직이지 아니하되 만물을 품더라. 무겁고 더디나 한번 정하면 옮기지 아니하느니라.
