What it means

墓 is the seat of being buried among the twelve stages.

Here it gathers and stores; it is also called the storehouse.

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

The figure of persistence, gathering and putting away.

It is strong at thrift and at finishing, and keeps what is of substance.

Set down excess of parsimony and clinging, and the heart grows ample.
