Quick Reference Manual of the Sixty Jiazi Na Yin (with Modern Career and Psychological Analogies) - White Wax Gold

⚔️ 17. Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch Combination: Gengchen (Metal-Earth)

🔮 Na Yin Five Elements: White Wax Gold (Metal)

---

📜 Traditional Symbolism:

“White Wax Gold” is unformed gold, like ore or gold wax, which needs to be refined by fire to become a sharp tool.

Geng is Yang Metal, strong and sharp; Chen is Yang Earth, containing water vapor, known as “wet earth hiding gold.” It symbolizes ore just exposed, uncarved jade.

Gengchen gold is hard but unformed; if refined by fire, it shines.

San Ming Tong Hui states:

“White Wax Gold is a piece of jade from Kunshan, interweaving the light of the sun and moon, condensing the qi of yin and yang, with clear form and pure body; it is the true color of gold.”

---

💬 Vernacular Translation:

Gengchen’s Na Yin is “White Wax Gold,” representing gold in a state like uncarved jade or unrefined metal. Although it possesses noble qualities and talent, it requires external stimulation.

If the destiny sees fire (such as water-based fire like Dingsi), it can refine this gold and make it shine; if fire is lacking or dampness is heavy, it indicates difficulty in displaying talent and achieving ambitions.

Such a person often has strong abilities and ideals but is easily limited by reality, suitable for self-growth through challenges and refinement.

🔮 Na Yin Five Elements: White Wax Gold (Metal)

📜 Traditional Symbolism:

Xin is Yin Metal, Si is Yin Fire. Metal resides in fire place, representing gold being refined, i.e., “White Wax Gold.”

White Wax Gold is like a piece of jade from Kunshan, waiting to be carved into a vessel. This gold has pure body and hard quality, needing fire refining and water assistance to reveal its sharpness.

Si contains Bing, Geng, and Wu, having both fire refining and metal qi, forming an image of metal-fire fusion, hardness and softness complementing each other.

San Ming Tong Hui says: “White Wax Gold is the true color of gold, condensing the qi of yin and yang, interweaving the light of the sun and moon.”
