比 bǐ

“Grouping” —— 文王第 8 卦

坎(Water)在上坤(Earth)在下
一句話白話

親附團結。眾人圍著一個可信賴的中心凝聚起來;早一點、清楚一點選定盟友。

卦辭 THE JUDGMENT

吉。原筮,元永貞,無咎。不寧方來,後夫凶。

Bi indicates that (under the conditions which it supposes) there is good fortune. But let (the principal party intended in it) re-examine himself, (as if) by divination, whether his virtue be great, unintermitting, and firm. If it be so, there will be no error. Those who have not rest will then come to him; and with those who are (too) late in coming it will be ill.—— The I Ching, trans. James Legge, 1899(公有領域)1

象傳 THE IMAGE

《象》曰:地上有水,比;先王以建萬國,親諸侯。

大象傳取象:由坤與坎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

初六

有孚比之,無咎;有孚盈缶,終來有它,吉。

The first SIX, divided, shows its subject seeking by his sincerity to win the attachment of his object. There will be no error. Let (the breast) be full of sincerity as an earthenware vessel is of its contents, and it will in the end bring other advantages.

六二

比之自內,貞吉。

In the second SIX, divided, we see the movement towards union and attachment proceeding from the inward (mind). With firm correctness there will be good fortune.

六三

比之匪人。

In the third SIX, divided, we see its subject seeking for union with such as ought not to be associated with.

六四

外比之,貞吉。

In the fourth SIX, divided, we see its subject seeking for union with the one beyond himself. With firm correctness there will be good fortune.

九五

顯比;王用三驅,失前禽。邑人不誡,吉。

The fifth NINE, undivided, affords the most illustrious instance of seeking union and attachment. (We seem to see in it) the king urging his pursuit of the game (only) in three directions, and allowing the escape of all the animals before him, while the people of his towns do not warn one another (to prevent it). There will be good fortune.

上六

比之無首,凶。

In the topmost SIX, divided, we see one seeking union and attachment without having taken the first step (to such an end). There will be evil.

看這一卦的象

第 8 卦,下卦坤(Earth)、上卦坎(Water)——下為承載萬物的厚土,上為水在險阻之間尋路前行。傳統把這個組合讀成「Grouping」的緣由正在這裡:親附團結。眾人圍著一個可信賴的中心凝聚起來;早一點、清楚一點選定盟友。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 8 卦的常見問題

第 8 卦「比(bǐ)」是什麼意思?

易經第 8 卦名為「比」(bǐ),通行英譯作「Grouping」。這一卦是下卦坤(Earth)、上卦坎(Water);傳統的象,是承載萬物的厚土在下、水在險阻之間尋路前行在上。

第 8 卦的象傳(大象辭)怎麼說?

《象》曰:地上有水,比;先王以建萬國,親諸侯。這是大象傳對第 8 卦的取象——由坤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 8 卦在感情上怎麼解讀?

在感情占問裡,「比」指向親附團結。眾人圍著一個可信賴的中心凝聚起來;早一點、清楚一點選定盟友。這一卦由坤(Earth)在下、坎(Water)在上組成——承載萬物的厚土在下、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 8 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)、上卦坎(Water)——承載萬物的厚土在內、水在險阻之間尋路前行在外。白話說,親附團結。眾人圍著一個可信賴的中心凝聚起來;早一點、清楚一點選定盟友。卦爻辭中出現 5 次「吉」、2 次「凶」,所以讀作可行——前提是照爻辭所說的舉止去做。

第 8 卦的動爻(變爻)怎麼看?

第 8 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 8 卦六爻全變,得第 14 卦大有(Great Possessing)。本頁下方「逐爻詳解」另有六頁,逐爻對讀經文與 Legge 英譯。

第 8 卦跟其他卦是什麼關係?

第 8 卦六爻全變,得第 14 卦——大有(Great Possessing)。上下顛倒,得第 7 卦——師(Leading)。互卦——二至五爻的內在紋理——是第 23 卦剝(Stripping)。
