This is the only Day Master (DM) where people will work hard to dig it up from the ground. A Xin 辛 DM, also known as the Yin Metal, can be recognized as diamond, jade or jewellery. They are unique and are like no other. A Xin 辛 is classy and elegant and gets all the attention because of its' unique beauty. That is why All Xin DM does not like to share the stage with other people.
This is because they must be the ones shining through and the centre of attention. Hence, the hallmark of Xin DM is that they tend to be more talkative than other DMs. Or even if they do not wish to talk - they are doing it to get some attention. However, although they can be open-minded, they can also be very stubborn. You may find that they have this superficial personality because of how much they pay attention to luxurious goods and materials. But this is their motivation to enjoy the finer things in life. The biggest fallback of Xin DM is that they are the type that can talk a good game but can't always fulfil those promises. And they tend to get moody when things dont go their way. Although they carry those "I don't care vibe", deep down, they are very sensitive.
However, then again, there are six different types of Xin DM around - which all have subtle differences; just like other shiny jewellery, they come in various forms and shapes.
Based on the classical text of Liu Bo Wen :
辛金軟弱,溫潤而清,畏土之疊,樂水之盈,能扶社稷,能敕生靈,熱則喜母,寒則喜丁。
Text describes that Xin 辛 Metal is bright and shiny by nature. All Xin 辛 metal comes from the ground but it dislikes being covered by the earth because it's nature is to shine. The earth here are either Ji 己 Earth, followed by hard soil, Wu 戊 Earth. However, it loves lots of Ren 壬 Water or Gui 癸 Water; it will moisten the earth and cleans the dirt from the surface of the diamond.
Xin 辛 Metal of abundant of Earth will not able to shine and feel good about themselves, which is an essential trait for a Xin DM.
Great article! Love the way you go into detail for the different types.
It is interesting to read about the elements but of all things the Ren article; " How to be a better Ren ? " is missing. Would appreciate your kindness to have that article publish. Thanks
