What is the Bath stage?
Bath (沐浴) is the stage of bathing the newborn baby. It is the first exposure to the world, so you are sensitive and full of feeling. You love dressing up and draw people's eyes, but you are easily shaken by temptation and whims, so in the past it was shunned as Paeji (敗地), the ground of defeat. Today it is seen as the energy of art and charm.
