What it means

冠帶 is the seat of putting on the cap and belt among the twelve stages.

Here coming of age, so the will is set and begins to step forward.

The twelve stages are found by setting the day stem against each branch; yang stems run forward and yin stems run back.

What the document says

Strong in standing alone, and clear in purpose.

Its wish to go out into the world and accomplish is large and unashamed.

Govern stubbornness and conceit and it gains more regard.
