Yilin Verse
歲暮花落，陽入陰室；萬物伏匿，藏不可得。
At year's end the flowers fall; yang retreats into yin's chamber. The myriad things lie hidden; stored away, impossible to find.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
Commentary
Fire beneath the mountain fades as the year draws to its close. Flowers fall at year's end, and the yang force retreats into the yin chamber. All creatures hide themselves away, concealed beyond finding. This is a portrait of winter's deep withdrawal: not death but strategic dormancy. The seasonal cycle demands that what flourished must now shelter within the earth. From Grace to Great Possession, the paradox sharpens — how does hiding lead to abundance? Because fire in heaven (Great Possession) burns brightest after its period of concealment. The mountain's decorative fire must first retreat underground before it can blaze as heavenly radiance. Concealment is the condition for great possession, not its opposite.
