卦辭 THE JUDGMENT

六爻 爻辭

初九

利用為大作,元吉,無咎。

The first NINE, undivided, shows that it will be advantageous for its subject in his position to make a great movement. If it be greatly fortunate, no blame will be imputed to him.

六二

或益之十朋之龜,弗克違。永貞吉;王用享于帝,吉。

The second SIX, divided, shows parties adding to the stores of its subject ten pairs of tortoise shells whose oracles cannot be opposed. Let him persevere in being firm and correct, and there will be good fortune. Let the king, (having the virtues thus distinguished), employ them in presenting his offerings to God, and there will be good fortune.

六三

益之用凶事,無咎;有孚中行,告公用圭。

The third SIX, divided, shows increase given to its subject by means of what is evil, so that he shall (be led to good), and be without blame. Let him be sincere and pursue the path of the Mean, (so shall he secure the recognition of the ruler, like) an officer who announces himself to his prince by the symbol of his rank.

六四

中行,告公從,利用為依遷國。

The fourth SIX, divided, shows its subject pursuing the due course. His advice to his prince is followed. He can with advantage be relied on in such a movement as that of removing the capital.

九五

有孚惠心,勿問元吉。有孚惠我德。

The fifth NINE, undivided, shows its subject with sincere heart seeking to benefit (all below). There need be no question about it; the result will be great good fortune. (All below) will with sincere heart acknowledge his goodness.

上九

莫益之,或擊之,立心勿恆,凶。

In the sixth NINE, undivided, we see one to whose increase none will contribute, while many will seek to assail him. He observes no regular rule in the ordering of his heart. There will be evil.

看這一卦的象

第 42 卦,下卦震(Thunder)、上卦巽(Wind)——下為自靜止中迸發的動能,上為溫和滲透的影響力。傳統把這個組合讀成「Augmenting」的緣由正在這裡:增益。此時適合大方付出,也適合開始大的事業。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 42 卦的常見問題

第 42 卦「益(yì)」是什麼意思?

易經第 42 卦名為「益」(yì),通行英譯作「Augmenting」。這一卦是下卦震(Thunder)、上卦巽(Wind);傳統的象,是自靜止中迸發的動能在下、溫和滲透的影響力在上。

第 42 卦的象傳(大象辭)怎麼說?

《象》曰:風雷,益;君子以見善則遷,有過則改。這是大象傳對第 42 卦的取象——由震與巽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 42 卦在感情上怎麼解讀?

在感情占問裡,「益」指向增益。此時適合大方付出,也適合開始大的事業。這一卦由震(Thunder)在下、巽(Wind)在上組成——自靜止中迸發的動能在下、溫和滲透的影響力在上,傳統上正是這股力量在兩個人之間運行的樣子。

事業與金錢的問題,從卦象本身讀起:下卦震(Thunder)、上卦巽(Wind)——自靜止中迸發的動能在內、溫和滲透的影響力在外。白話說,增益。此時適合大方付出,也適合開始大的事業。卦爻辭中出現 4 次「吉」、2 次「凶」,所以讀作可行——前提是照爻辭所說的舉止去做。
