Yuk-Jang - Concept of Water (Gam)
meaning "water", is the sixth symbol. Water is liquid and formless. It never loses its nature, always flowing downward. Through perseverance, it erodes away obsticles and never hesitates as it creates new paths. Water gathers, starting as small drops until it forms great oceans. Water symbolizes the over-coming of obsticles, not through brute force, but rather by persistance and fluidity.
