無妄
“Without Embroiling” —— 文王第 25 卦
純真自然。順著正理走,意料之外的好事會跟著來。
卦辭 THE JUDGMENT
元亨利貞。其匪正有眚,不利有攸往。
Wu Wang indicates great progress and success, while there will be advantage in being firm and correct. If (its subject and his action) be not correct, he will fall into errors, and it will not be advantageous for him to move in any direction.—— The I Ching, trans. James Legge, 1899(公有領域)1
象傳 THE IMAGE
《象》曰:天下雷行,物與無妄;先王以茂對時,育萬物。
大象傳取象:由震與乾的組合看出這個局面,並指出君子在此局面中的做法。——《周易》象傳,公有領域2
六爻 爻辭
無妄,往吉。
The first NINE, undivided, shows its subject free from all insincerity. His advance will be accompanied with good fortune.
不耕穫,不菑畬,則利有攸往。
The second SIX, divided, shows one who reaps without having ploughed (that he might reap), and gathers the produce of his third year's fields without having cultivated them the first year for that end. To such a one there will be advantage in whatever direction he may move.
無妄之災:或繫之牛,行人之得,邑人之災。
The third SIX, divided, shows calamity happening to one who is free from insincerity - as in the case of an ox that has been tied up. A passer by finds it (and carries it off), while the people in the neighbourhood have the calamity (of being accused and. apprehended).
可貞,無咎。
The fourth NINE, undivided, shows (a case) in which, if its subject can remain firm and correct, there will be no error.
無妄之疾,勿藥有喜。
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows one who is free from insincerity, and yet has fallen ill. Let him not use medicine, and he will have occasion for joy (in his recovery).
無妄,行有眚,無攸利。
The topmost NINE, undivided, shows its subject free from insincerity, yet sure to fall into error, if he take action. (His action) will not be advantageous in any way.
看這一卦的象
第 25 卦,下卦震(Thunder)、上卦乾(Heaven)——下為自靜止中迸發的動能,上為創造之力向上推進。傳統把這個組合讀成「Without Embroiling」的緣由正在這裡:純真自然。順著正理走,意料之外的好事會跟著來。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 25 卦的常見問題
第 25 卦「無妄(wú wàng)」是什麼意思?
易經第 25 卦名為「無妄」(wú wàng),通行英譯作「Without Embroiling」。這一卦是下卦震(Thunder)、上卦乾(Heaven);傳統的象,是自靜止中迸發的動能在下、創造之力向上推進在上。
第 25 卦的象傳(大象辭)怎麼說?
《象》曰:天下雷行,物與無妄;先王以茂對時,育萬物。這是大象傳對第 25 卦的取象——由震與乾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 25 卦在感情上怎麼解讀?
在感情占問裡,「無妄」指向純真自然。順著正理走,意料之外的好事會跟著來。這一卦由震(Thunder)在下、乾(Heaven)在上組成——自靜止中迸發的動能在下、創造之力向上推進在上,傳統上正是這股力量在兩個人之間運行的樣子。
第 25 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:下卦震(Thunder)、上卦乾(Heaven)——自靜止中迸發的動能在內、創造之力向上推進在外。白話說,純真自然。順著正理走,意料之外的好事會跟著來。卦爻辭中出現 1 次「吉」,所以讀作可行——前提是照爻辭所說的舉止去做。
第 25 卦的動爻(變爻)怎麼看?
第 25 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 25 卦六爻全變,得第 46 卦升(Ascending)。本頁下方「逐爻詳解」另有六頁,逐爻對讀經文與 Legge 英譯。
第 25 卦跟其他卦是什麼關係?
第 25 卦六爻全變,得第 46 卦——升(Ascending)。上下顛倒,得第 26 卦——大畜(Great Accumulating)。互卦——二至五爻的內在紋理——是第 53 卦漸(Infiltrating)。
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
