雷風相與，立不易方
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.
恆：亨，無咎，利貞，利有攸往。
恆卦——亨通，無咎，利於守正，利於有所前往。持久之道，必伴正而能有所行動。
Heng indicates successful progress and no error (in what it denotes). But the advantage will come from being firm and correct; and movement, in any direction whatever, will be advantageous.
恆，久也。剛上而柔下，雷風相與，巽而動，剛柔皆應，恆。恆，亨，無咎，利貞，久於其道也。天地之道，恆久而不已也。利有攸往，終則有始也。日月得天而能久照，四時變化而能久成，聖人久於其道而天下化成。觀其所恆，而天地萬物之情可見矣。
恆即久。剛在上而柔在下，雷風相應，順而動，剛柔皆相應——這就是恆。恆之亨無咎利貞，是因為持久於正道。天地之道恆久而不止息。利有攸往，是因為終了之處便是新的開始。日月得天而能長照，四時變化而能長成，聖人持久於道而天下化成。觀其所恆，可見天地萬物之情。
Heng denotes long continuance. The strong (trigram) is above, and the weak below; they are (the symbols of) thunder and wind, which are in mutual communication; they have the qualities of docility and motion; their strong and weak (lines) all respond, each to the other — these things are all found in Heng.

浚恆，貞凶，無攸利。
深求恆久（強求過深）——守此凶，沒有甚麼利益。剛交即求深，不合恆道。
The first SIX shows its subject deeply (desirous) of long continuance. Even with firm correctness there will be evil; there will be no advantage in any way.
浚恆之凶，始求深也。
浚恆之凶，是初始就求得太深。
悔亡。
悔消失。剛中得正應，故無悔。
The second NINE shows that occasion for repentance will disappear.
九二悔亡，能久中也。
九二悔消，是因為能持久於中道。
不恆其德，或承之羞，貞吝。
不能恆久於德——可能因此遭羞辱，守此吝。德性無常，雖正亦吝。
The third NINE shows one whose virtue is not constantly maintained. There are those who will impute this to him as a disgrace. However firm he may be, there will be ground for regret.
不恆其德，無所容也。
不能恆於德，無處容身。
田無禽。
田獵卻無收獲——做事位不當，努力而無功。
The fourth NINE shows a field where there is no game.
久非其位，安得禽也。
長久處於不當之位，怎能有所獲？
恆其德，貞，婦人吉，夫子凶。
恆守其德——對婦人來說守正吉（從一而終是婦人之德），對丈夫來說則凶（須隨時宜變通）。德之恆需配位之宜。
The fifth SIX shows one continuously maintaining the virtue indicated by it. In a wife this will be fortunate; in a husband or other man, evil.
婦人貞吉，從一而終也。夫子制義，從婦凶也。
婦人守正吉，是從一而終。夫子制義，跟從婦人之恆則凶。
振恆，凶。
振動而求恆——強欲恆久於上位之動，凶。動的本質與恆的要求相違。
The topmost SIX shows its subject exciting himself to long continuance. There will be evil.
振恆在上，大無功也。
振動求恆於上位，毫無功效。
Lasting, constant, enduring — duration on the right path, not rigid changelessness.
Deep; to dig or dredge deep. Here: demanding depth at the very start.
Shame, disgrace.
Game — the birds and beasts taken in the ancient hunt.
A husband; an honorific for a man in old usage.
To shake, agitate, rouse — motion mistaken for duration.
