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

豐,亨。王假之,勿憂,宜日中。

豐卦——亨通。君王至於此,勿須憂愁,宜於正午之時。豐盛之極不可長保,當珍惜當下而知節。

Feng intimates progress and development. When a king has reached the point (which the name denotes) there is no occasion to be anxious (through fear of a change). Let him be as the sun at noon.

James Legge · 1899
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

豐,大也。明以動,故豐。王假之,尚大也。勿憂宜日中,宜照天下也。日中則昃,月盈則食,天地盈虛,與時消息,而況於人乎?況於鬼神乎?

豐就是大。明(離)而動(震),所以豐盛。「王假之」是崇尚大。「勿憂宜日中」是宜於普照天下。日到正午就會西斜,月盈滿就會虧蝕——天地的盈虛皆與時消長,何況人事?何況鬼神?

Feng denotes greatness. It is intelligence going on to be followed by movement — this produces its greatness. When the sun has reached the meridian height it begins to decline. When the moon has become full, it begins to wane.

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

上下卦Trigrams
· Upper · Thunder
· Lower · Fire
全卦成象Whole image

雷電皆至,豐

(The trigram representing) thunder and that for lightning combine to form Feng.

人事取法Conduct

君子以折獄致刑。

The superior man, in accordance with this, decides cases of litigation and apportions punishments with exactness.

雷與電都來——豐之象。君子由此體會:要明斷案件、施以刑罰。明(離)以照察、動(震)以決斷,是治獄之道。

豐其蔀,日中見斗,往得疑疾,有孚發若,吉。

If he go (and try to enlighten his ruler), he will be regarded with suspicion and dislike.
