看這一卦的象

第 39 卦,下卦艮(Mountain)、上卦坎(Water)——下為穩守不移的靜定,上為水在險阻之間尋路前行。傳統把這個組合讀成「Limping」的緣由正在這裡:四面都是阻礙。停下來,轉向有能力的盟友,把路走簡單。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 39 卦的常見問題

第 39 卦「蹇(jiǎn)」是什麼意思?

易經第 39 卦名為「蹇」(jiǎn),通行英譯作「Limping」。這一卦是下卦艮(Mountain)、上卦坎(Water);傳統的象,是穩守不移的靜定在下、水在險阻之間尋路前行在上。

第 39 卦的象傳(大象辭)怎麼說?

《象》曰:山上有水,蹇;君子以反身修德。這是大象傳對第 39 卦的取象——由艮與坎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 39 卦在感情上怎麼解讀?

在感情占問裡,「蹇」指向四面都是阻礙。停下來,轉向有能力的盟友,把路走簡單。這一卦由艮(Mountain)在下、坎(Water)在上組成——穩守不移的靜定在下、水在險阻之間尋路前行在上,傳統上正是這股力量在兩個人之間運行的樣子。

第 39 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:下卦艮(Mountain)、上卦坎(Water)——穩守不移的靜定在內、水在險阻之間尋路前行在外。白話說,四面都是阻礙。停下來,轉向有能力的盟友,把路走簡單。卦爻辭中出現 2 次「吉」,所以讀作可行——前提是照爻辭所說的舉止去做。

第 39 卦的動爻(變爻)怎麼看?

第 39 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 39 卦六爻全變,得第 38 卦睽(Polarising)。本頁下方「逐爻詳解」另有六頁,逐爻對讀經文與 Legge 英譯。

第 39 卦跟其他卦是什麼關係?

第 39 卦六爻全變,得第 38 卦——睽(Polarising)。上下顛倒,得第 40 卦——解(Taking-Apart)。互卦——二至五爻的內在紋理——是第 64 卦未濟(Not Yet Fording)。
