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.

卦辭對整個卦(六條線為一組)的總體判斷。The judgment on the hexagram as a whole.
Judgment

豫:利建侯行師。

豫卦——利於建立諸侯(封官)、行軍打仗。一陽五陰,剛健之力得到眾人響應,順以而動,故大事可成。

Yu indicates that, (in the state which it implies), feudal princes may be set up, and the hosts put in motion, with advantage.

James Legge · 1899

Commentary on the Judgment

豫,剛應而志行,順以動,豫。豫順以動,故天地如之,而況建侯行師乎?天地以順動,故日月不過,而四時不忒;聖人以順動,則刑罰清而民服。豫之時義大矣哉!

豫卦:剛爻(九四)有應,志向得行;柔順而動,所以為豫。豫之所以亨通,是因為「順以動」——天地都是這樣運行的,何況封侯行軍?天地以順而動,所以日月不出差錯,四時不出偏差;聖人以順而動,則刑罰清明而民眾順服。豫的時機與意義太大了!

In Yu we see the strong line responded to by all the others, and the will (of him whom it represents) being carried out; and (also) docile obedience employing movement. Such is Yu.

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

雷出地奮,豫

(The trigram representing) the earth and that of thunder issuing from it form Yu.

人事取法Conduct

先王以作樂崇德,殷薦之上帝,以配祖考。

The ancient kings, in accordance with this, composed their music and did honour to virtue, presenting it especially and most grandly to God, when they associated with Him (at the service) their highest ancestor and their father.

雷從地中奮然而出——豫之象。先王由此體會:制作禮樂以推崇德性,盛大地獻祭給上帝,並以祖先配享。
