Judgment
大有：元亨。
大有卦——大亨通。一陰居尊位（六五），五陽皆歸——所以為「大有」，廣大富有。
Da You indicates that, (under the circumstances which it implies), there will be great progress and success.

卦辭與彖傳
Judgment and its commentary
先讀經文，再讀《彖傳》如何解釋卦辭。Read the received text first, then its Tuan commentary.
彖傳十翼之一，直接解釋卦名、卦辭及其剛柔結構。Tuan Zhuan — commentary explaining the name, Judgment, and line structure.
Commentary on the Judgment
大有，柔得尊位大中而上下應之，曰大有。其德剛健而文明，應乎天而時行，是以元亨。
大有——柔（六五）得尊位大中而上下五陽皆相應，所以為大有。其德剛健（乾）而文明（離），應於天而依時而行，所以大亨通。
In Da You the weak (line) has the place of honour, is grandly central, and the strong (lines) above and below respond to it. Hence comes its name of Da You. The attributes (of its component trigrams) are strength and vigour with elegance and brightness.
James Legge · 1899
大象傳《大象傳》從上下卦的自然圖像推演全卦之象，再提出人事取法。它不是《彖傳》的續文。The Great Image derives conduct from the two trigrams' natural images; it is not a continuation of the Tuan.
Great Image Commentary
上下卦取象 → 全卦成象 → 人事取法Trigrams → whole image → conduct

人事取法Conduct
君子以遏惡揚善，順天休命。
The superior man, in accordance with this, represses what is evil and gives distinction to what is good, in accordance with the excellent will of Heaven.
火在天上——大有之象。君子由此體會：要遏止惡、宣揚善，順從天命的美好。
