卦辭 THE JUDGMENT
亨，王假有廟，利見大人，亨，利貞；用大牲吉，利有攸往。
In (the state denoted by) Cui, the king will repair to his ancestral temple. It will be advantageous (also) to meet with the great man; and then there will be progress and success, though the advantage must come through firm correctness. The use of great victims will conduce to good fortune; and in whatever direction movement is made, it will be advantageous.—— The I Ching, trans. James Legge, 1899（公有領域）1
象傳 THE IMAGE
《象》曰：澤上於地，萃；君子以除戎器，戒不虞。
大象傳取象：由坤與兌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
有孚不終，乃亂乃萃；若號，一握為笑，勿恤，往無咎。
The first SIX, divided, shows its subject with a sincere desire (for union), but unable to carry it out, so that disorder is brought into the sphere of his union. If he cry out (for help to his proper correlate), all at once (his tears) will give place to smiles. He need not mind (the temporary difficulty); as he goes forward, there will be no error.
引吉，無咎；孚乃利用禴。
The second SIX, divided, shows its subject led forward (by his correlate). There will be good fortune, and freedom from error. There is entire sincerity, and in that case (even the small offerings of) the vernal sacrifice are acceptable.
萃如，嗟如，無攸利；往無咎，小吝。
The third SIX, divided, shows its subject striving after union and seeming to sigh, yet nowhere finding any advantage. If he go forward, he will not err, though there may be some small cause for regret.
大吉，無咎。
The fourth NINE, undivided, shows its subject in such a state that, if he be greatly fortunate, he will receive no blame.
萃有位，無咎；匪孚，元永貞，悔亡。
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows the union (of all) under its subject in the place of dignity. There will be no error. If any do not have confidence in him, let him see to it that (his virtue) be great, long-continued, and firmly correct, and all occasion for repentance will disappear.
齎諮涕洟，無咎。
The topmost SIX, divided, shows its subject sighing and weeping; but there will be no error.
看這一卦的象
第 45 卦，下卦坤（Earth）、上卦兌（Lake）——下為承載萬物的厚土，上為輕快喜悅的感染力。傳統把這個組合讀成「Clustering」的緣由正在這裡：聚會聚集。為一個大目標把人心聚攏，能成事；先把場子準備好。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 45 卦的常見問題
第 45 卦「萃（cuì）」是什麼意思？
易經第 45 卦名為「萃」（cuì），通行英譯作「Clustering」。這一卦是下卦坤（Earth）、上卦兌（Lake）；傳統的象，是承載萬物的厚土在下、輕快喜悅的感染力在上。
第 45 卦的象傳（大象辭）怎麼說？
《象》曰：澤上於地，萃；君子以除戎器，戒不虞。這是大象傳對第 45 卦的取象——由坤與兌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 45 卦在感情上怎麼解讀？
在感情占問裡，「萃」指向聚會聚集。為一個大目標把人心聚攏，能成事；先把場子準備好。這一卦由坤（Earth）在下、兌（Lake）在上組成——承載萬物的厚土在下、輕快喜悅的感染力在上，傳統上正是這股力量在兩個人之間運行的樣子。
第 45 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：下卦坤（Earth）、上卦兌（Lake）——承載萬物的厚土在內、輕快喜悅的感染力在外。白話說，聚會聚集。為一個大目標把人心聚攏，能成事；先把場子準備好。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 45 卦的動爻（變爻）怎麼看？
第 45 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 45 卦六爻全變，得第 26 卦大畜（Great Accumulating）。本頁下方「逐爻詳解」另有六頁，逐爻對讀經文與 Legge 英譯。
第 45 卦跟其他卦是什麼關係？
第 45 卦六爻全變，得第 26 卦——大畜（Great Accumulating）。上下顛倒，得第 46 卦——升（Ascending）。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
