死

死 is the seat of subsiding among the twelve stages.

Here movement ceases, so thought is deep and the seat is still.

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

The figure of the scholar who digs one road deep.

It has a gift for thought, for study and for craft, and accomplishes greatly when it is quietly absorbed.

Add the company of people and it is even.
