Yí (頤) — Nourishment

Mountain above Thunder — the mouth, what enters it and what comes out of it. "Watch what you take in; seek your own nourishment." Both dimensions matter equally: the quality of what you consume and the quality of what you produce. The cauldron of the self is shaped by what passes through it. This extends past food — what you attend to, what you repeat, what you spend your days making.
