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

震:亨。震來虩虩,笑言啞啞,震驚百里,不喪匕鬯。

震卦——亨通。雷震到來時心存敬畏(虩虩),雷停之後談笑自若(啞啞),雷聲震驚百里之遠,但主祭者仍能不掉手中的酒勺。震動是修養之檢驗。

Zhen indicates progress and success. When the time of movement comes, (its subject) will be found looking out with apprehension, and yet smiling and talking cheerfully. When the movement comes like a startling peal, he will be awe-struck on every side; but he does not let go his sacrificial spoon and chalice.

James Legge · 1899

Commentary on the Judgment

震,亨。震來虩虩,恐致福也。笑言啞啞,後有則也。震驚百里,驚遠而懼邇也。出可以守宗廟社稷,以為祭主也。

震,亨通。「震來虩虩」是因為恐懼能招致福祉;「笑言啞啞」是震過之後行之有度。震驚百里,是震驚遠處而使近處戒懼。能在震動中守住宗廟社稷,是真正的祭主。

Zhen indicates progress. The fear and dread it inspires brings about blessing. The cheerful smiling and talk afterward shows that there are rules of conduct.

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.

洊雷,震

(The trigram representing) thunder, repeated, forms Zhen.

人事取法Conduct

君子以恐懼修省。

The superior man, in accordance with this, is fearful and apprehensive, cultivates virtue, and examines his faults.

雷上加雷(洊雷)——震之象。君子由此體會:要在恐懼中修養自己、檢省過失。
