Support · Zhengyin 正印
Support is care with a structure: education, mentors, mothers, credentials, and the safety to grow slowly.
Support (zhengyin) is the 'direct seal': formal education, mentorship, family backing, credentials and care that arrives as structure. It describes the part of a person that trusts the process and values learning properly.
Strong Support charts tend to be thoughtful and well-held, and can become dependent on institutions or approval. The mature version uses the safety to take a real risk.
