The Ten Stems
Jia (Yang Wood)
(Kinoe / Jia)Symbolizes a towering tree. Honest, straightforward, and unyielding.
Jia represents Yang Wood, symbolizing a massive, towering tree like an oak or a pine. Those with a Jia Day Master are straightforward, honest, and possess a strong sense of justice.
Just as a large tree grows straight up toward the sun, they are ambitious and continuously strive for growth. They make excellent leaders because they are reliable and protective of those under their canopy.
However, because a large tree cannot easily bend, they can be incredibly stubborn and inflexible. If they encounter a storm (hardship) they cannot withstand, they may break entirely rather than bending. Learning flexibility is their lifelong lesson.
