君子以同而異，睽之時用大
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.
睽：小事吉。
睽卦——小事吉。處於分歧之時，只能成小事，不可圖大事。
Kui indicates that, (notwithstanding the condition of things which it denotes), in small matters there will (still) be good fortune.
睽，火動而上，澤動而下，二女同居，其志不同行。說而麗乎明，柔進而上行，得中而應乎剛，是以小事吉。天地睽而其事同也，男女睽而其志通也，萬物睽而其事類也，睽之時用大矣哉！
睽卦：火動上升，澤動下流，二者方向相違；二女同居志向不同。內悅（兌）外明（離），柔進而上行，得中位而應於剛——所以小事吉。天地相睽而其事相同，男女相睽而其志相通，萬物相睽而其事相類——睽之時的作用真大啊！
In Kui we have (the symbol of) Fire, which, when moved, ascends, and (that of) a Marsh, whose waters, when moved, descend. We have (also the symbols of) two sisters living together, but whose wills do not move in the same direction.

上火下澤，睽
(The trigram representing) fire above and that for the waters of a marsh below form Kui.
君子以同而異。
The superior man, in accordance with this, where there is a general agreement, yet admits diversity.
上火下澤——睽之象。君子由此體會：要在大同之中保持差異（不強求一致）。

悔亡。喪馬勿逐，自復；見惡人，無咎。
悔消失。丟了馬不要追，會自己回來；見到惡人，無咎。睽之初宜寬不宜執。
The first NINE shows that (to its subject) occasion for repentance will disappear. He has lost his horses, but let him not seek for them; — they will return of themselves. Should he meet with bad men, he will not err (in communicating with them).
見惡人，以辟咎也。
見惡人不避，是為了避咎。
遇主于巷，無咎。
在小巷中遇到主子（六五）——無咎。睽之時不期而遇，是緣。
The second NINE shows its subject happening to meet with his lord in a bye-passage. There will be no error.
遇主于巷，未失道也。
巷中遇主，未失正道。
見輿曳，其牛掣，其人天且劓。無初有終。
看見車被拉著，牛被牽掣（兩端拉扯），其人受刑（天=刺額，劓=割鼻）——起初無，最終有結果。困境之初無望，終必有解。
The third SIX shows its subject (in a position) as if his carriage were dragged back, and the oxen in it pushed back, and as if he himself were subjected to the shaving of his head and the cutting off of his nose. There is no good beginning, but there will be a good end.
見輿曳，位不當也。無初有終，遇剛也。
車被曳，是位置不當。終有結果，是遇到剛爻（上九）。
睽孤。遇元夫，交孚，厲無咎。
睽中孤獨——遇到大丈夫（同道），相互信任，雖厲無咎。睽中得真同道。
The fourth NINE shows its subject solitary amidst the (prevailing) disunion. (But) he meets with the good man (represented by the first line), and they blend their sincere desires together. The position is one of peril, but there will be no error.
交孚無咎，志行也。
交相信任無咎，是志向得行。
悔亡。厥宗噬膚，往何咎？
悔消失。宗親（同類）親密如咬肉之深——前往有何咎？睽中得宗親之合。
The fifth SIX shows that to its subject occasion for repentance will disappear. With his relative (and minister) he unites closely and readily as if he were biting through a piece of skin. When he goes forward (with this help), what error can there be?
厥宗噬膚，往有慶也。
宗親噬膚之合，前往有福慶。
睽孤。見豕負塗，載鬼一車，先張之弧，後說之弧。匪寇婚媾，往遇雨則吉。
睽中孤獨——看見豬背滿污泥，看見載鬼一車——先拉弓欲射，後又放下弓。原來不是寇是來婚媾，前往遇雨則吉。睽至極處，疑而後解。
The topmost NINE shows its subject solitary amidst the (prevailing) disunion. (In the subject of the third line, he seems to) see a pig bearing on its back a load of mud, (or fancies) there is a carriage full of ghosts. He first bends his bow against him, and afterwards unbends it, (for he discovers) that he is not an assailant to injure, but a near relative. Going forward, he shall meet with (genial) rain, and there will be good fortune.
遇雨之吉，群疑亡也。
遇雨之吉，是疑慮全消。
Divergence, estrangement — turned away from each other; the hexagram name.
To drag, pull back.
To be held back, checked — restrained from moving.
Here an ancient punishment: branding or tattooing the forehead (not 'heaven').
The ancient punishment of cutting off the nose.
Solitary, alone.
A bow (the weapon).
Pig, swine.
Mud, mire.
