Covering Lamp Fire (Fù Dēng Huǒ)
One of the sixty nayin, associated with Jiǎ Chén and Yǐ Sì, belonging to the Fire element.
Fù Dēng Huǒ (Lamp-Cover Fire) is one of the nayin in the Sixty Jiazi cycle, corresponding to the Jiǎ Chén and Yǐ Sì years. Its imagery is derived from the flame of a lamp or candle, which has limited light and requires a cover to burn steadily. In traditional date selection and fate calculation, this fire symbolizes a dependent, more restrained energy, distinct from the image of a roaring blaze. Historically, when calculating annual cycles or personal fate charts, encountering this nayin meant its characteristics were considered—for example, when analyzing its interactions with the other five elements, attention was paid to its 'covered' quality. Although rarely used in modern daily decisions, it is still commonly seen in explanations of traditional fate-calculation culture.
