Chil-Jang - Concept of Mountain (Gan)
Gan, meaning "top stop" or "mountain", is the seventh symbol. Mountains are stable and fixed. They are formed by accumulation of smaller parts over great periods of time, and are not quickly changed. The mountain symbolizes stopping to think before acting, and firm resolution once a decision has been made.
