The Five Elements Tale: The Fire Snake of Yisi（乙巳）
Prologue: The Journey into the Mystical Realm of the Sixty Jiazi
As Tianlai wandered in meditation, he found himself immersed in the wondrous realm of the Sixty Jiazi, where every combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches painted a story of life. Today, in the year 2025, it is the turn of number 42: the Fire Snake of Yisi. "Hello, Fire Snake of Yisi!" he greeted warmly.
Act I: The Veiled Lamp Fire
The Fire Snake of Yisi carries the element of the "Veiled Lamp Fire"—a fire shrouded yet steadfast, illuminating quietly under the cover of a lamp. Tianlai chuckled to himself:
"Why worry about a fire extinguishing simply because it's veiled?
The beauty of the Veiled Lamp lies in its resilience—it burns softly, enduringly, protecting itself from the harsh winds of the world."
The Fire Snake replied in a gentle tone:
"Fire is not weakened by its covering; rather, it learns patience, waiting for the moment to shine."
Act II: The Collective Heart of the Six Serpents
Though the Fire Snake stands as number 42, it draws strength from a rich tapestry of support—the collective essence of the other fiery beings within the Sixty Jiazi. They form a dazzling array of resources, as though the fires of heaven and earth have united:
- Veiled Lamp Fire: From the Fire Dragon (41) and Fire Snake (42), glowing quietly yet persistently.
- Heavenly Fire: Blazing high with the Fire Horse (55) and Fire Goat (56), igniting the heavens.
- Furnace Fire: The Fire Tiger (3) and Fire Rabbit (4), warming the world with their steady glow.
- Mountain-Top Fire: The Fire Dog (11) and Fire Pig (12), casting light upon the peaks of existence.
- Thunderbolt Fire: The Fire Rat (25) and Fire Ox (26), shaking the earth with electrifying brilliance.
- Mountain-Bottom Fire: The Fire Monkey (33) and Fire Rooster (34), hidden yet nurturing life beneath the soil.
Tianlai laughed heartily:
"With such boundless resources behind you, why fear the words ‘Veiled Lamp Fire’? It is not a sign of dimming but a reminder of hidden potential, a fire waiting to roar."
Act III: The Blossoming Spirit of the Sixty Jiazi
The Sixty Jiazi, often called the "Sixty Blossoming Jiazi", reflect unity and harmony across time and elements. Tianlai mused:
"Why is it called 'Blossoming'? Because life itself is a garden of blooming moments. To live is to bloom, and to bloom is to see oneself, others, and the world as petals of a boundless flower."
No matter their element or name, each being in the Jiazi radiates the same truth:
- The Fire Snake glows not only for itself but for all.
- Each life unfolds like a flower, creating poetry and painting beauty across the universe.
Finale: The Profound Meaning of the Sixty Jiazi
As the Fire Snake of Yisi withdrew, its veiled light continued to burn in the hearts of all. Tianlai, gazing at the starry sky, softly recited a verse:
"The veiled lamp is not diminished; it guards its light and warmth.
The Sixty Jiazi blossom as one; a single heart holds infinite worlds."
