Commentary

Thunder above wind, Duration's sustaining rhythm, descends into water above wind — the Well's inexhaustible source. The Five Sacred Mountains and Four Great Rivers unite their moisture as a shared virtue. Actions do not stray from principle, and the people enjoy blessings of rest and peace. The Five Mountains and Four Rivers constitute the sacred geography of China — the cosmic framework that orders heaven and earth. Their combined moisture represents the convergence of all natural blessings into a single nurturing force. From Duration to the Well, the enduring rhythm finds its deepest expression: the well that never runs dry because it draws from underground springs that have flowed since time began. Duration here is not mere persistence but the constancy of natural law — water rising through wood, virtue rising through society, both inexhaustible when rooted in principle.
