The third NINE, undivided, shows that, while there is no state of peace that is not liable to be disturbed, and no departure (of evil men) so that they shall not return, yet when one is firm and correct, as he realises the distresses that may arise, he will commit no error.

看這一卦的象
第 11 卦，下卦乾（Heaven）、上卦坤（Earth）——下為創造之力向上推進，上為承載萬物的厚土。傳統把這個組合讀成「Pervading」的緣由正在這裡：通泰順暢：天地交感。小人退去，大人進場。每當搖出這一卦，經典的提示，都會回到這兩股力量的交會。
關於第 11 卦的常見問題
第 11 卦「泰（tài）」是什麼意思？
易經第 11 卦名為「泰」（tài），通行英譯作「Pervading」。這一卦是下卦乾（Heaven）、上卦坤（Earth）；傳統的象，是創造之力向上推進在下、承載萬物的厚土在上。
第 11 卦的象傳（大象辭）怎麼說？
《象》曰：天地交，泰；后以財成天地之道，輔相天地之宜，以左右民。這是大象傳對第 11 卦的取象——由乾與坤的組合看出這個局面，再指出君子在這樣的局面裡怎麼做。
第 11 卦在感情上怎麼解讀？
在感情占問裡，「泰」指向通泰順暢：天地交感。小人退去，大人進場。這一卦由乾（Heaven）在下、坤（Earth）在上組成——創造之力向上推進在下、承載萬物的厚土在上，傳統上正是這股力量在兩個人之間運行的樣子。
第 11 卦對事業與金錢有什麼提示？
事業與金錢的問題，從卦象本身讀起：下卦乾（Heaven）、上卦坤（Earth）——創造之力向上推進在內、承載萬物的厚土在外。白話說，通泰順暢：天地交感。小人退去，大人進場。卦爻辭中出現 3 次「吉」，所以讀作可行——前提是照爻辭所說的舉止去做。
第 11 卦的動爻（變爻）怎麼看？
第 11 卦起出動爻時，六爻的爻辭（下方經文，自初爻讀到上爻）就是動爻的依據；動爻是這一卦在你所問之事裡「醒著」的那一部分。爻一動就變為相反的一爻，整卦隨之變成另一個卦：第 11 卦六爻全變，得第 12 卦否（Obstruction）。本頁下方「逐爻詳解」另有六頁，逐爻對讀經文與 Legge 英譯。
第 11 卦跟其他卦是什麼關係？
第 11 卦六爻全變，得第 12 卦——否（Obstruction）。上下顛倒，得第 12 卦——否（Obstruction）。互卦——二至五爻的內在紋理——是第 54 卦歸妹（Converting the Maiden）。
要解讀，不要只有卦文
同一個卦，一路讀到底：
- 每一爻都替你解——動爻在你所問之事裡的含意
- 之卦指向——事情正往哪裡去，變局怎麼讀
- 直答你的收束——行動、等待，還是說出口
