第三十二卦的哲学含义

恒卦卦象，雷风恒卦的象征意义
恒卦，这个卦是异卦相叠，巽为下卦，震为上卦。震为男、为雷；巽为女、为风。震刚在上，巽柔在下。刚上柔下，造化有常，相互助长。阴阳相应，常情，故称为恒。
恒卦位于咸卦之后，《序卦》中说道：“夫妇之道不可以不久也，故受之以恒。恒者，久也。”咸卦描述男女感应，推及夫妇之道；在迅速引发情感之后，接着要考虑的是长久维持，所以出现了恒卦。
《象》中这样解释恒卦：雷风，恒；君子以立不易方。这里指出，恒卦的卦象是巽（风）下震（雷）上，为风雷交加之表象，二者常是相辅相成而不停地活动的形象，因而象征常久；君子效法这一现象，应当树立自身的形象，坚守常久不变的正道。
从卦象上进行分析，恒卦上卦为震为雷为长子，下卦为巽为风为长女，雷动风随，这是自然界最大的永远相随的形象，也是人们都能看到的形象。一打雷接着就会刮风,古人从这一自然现象来说明阴阳相随的道理。从而引申出夫妇亦应当像雷与风一样永远和睦相处。上一卦咸卦为少男与少女，这一卦则变为长子长女，这是喻示着男女由年少的相恋，到现在已经长大成熟，成为持久的夫妇关系。恒卦中内卦为巽外卦为震，则表示妻主内男主外的生活模式。

32.雷风恒(䷟)-高岛易断
《上经》首《乾》而继《坤》，《坤》即《乾》之配；《下经》首《咸》而继《恒》，《恒》即《咸》之久。《咸》为可大之业，《恒》为可久之德，可久配天，可大配地，故《乾》亦为久，《坤》亦为大。《震》男《巽》女，本从乾坤而生，雷风即乾坤之嘘气也，乾坤不变，雷风亦不变，故雷风之卦曰《恒》。
恒：亨，无咎，利贞，利有攸往。
▲　甲骨文恒
“恒”字，从心从亘，训常，《易》曰“恒，久也”，凡事暂时塞者，久则通，通则“无咎”。“贞”者，正也，《咸》为夫妇结缡之始，男下于女，故“娶女吉”；《恒》为夫妇居室之常，女下于男，故利其贞。《巽》柔而顺，顺故能贞；《震》刚而动，动故有往。“贞”者，女子之德也，“往”者，男子之事也。《正义》曰：“得其常道，何往不利？”故曰“利有攸往”也。
《彖传》曰：恒，久也。刚上而柔下，雷风相与，巽而动，刚柔皆应，恒。恒，亨，无咎，利贞，久于其道也。天地之道，恒久而不已也。利有攸往，终则有始也。日月得天而能久照，四时变化而能久成，圣人久于其道，而天下化成。观其所恒，而天地万物之情可见矣。
▲　篆书恒
此卦上《震》下《巽》，《巽》为风，是刚上柔下也。《震》为雷，雷风相与而为《恒》。雷风者，即从山泽而生气，故卦次于《咸》。其为气也，通彻上下，运行周遍，化育万物，生生不息，而变化有常，其德亘古今而不易，是即“天地之道，恒久而不已也”，故名此卦曰《恒》。《恒》者，常也，久也，《恒》之为道，亨乃无咎，亨通无咎，乃得利贞。夫《恒》有二：有不易之《恒》，有不已之《恒》。“利贞”者，不易之《恒》，“利有攸往”者，不已之《恒》也，合而言之，常道也。“亨”者，《恒》之用也；“贞”者，《恒》之体也；“刚柔皆应”者，《恒》之成德也；“利有攸往”者，《恒》之行事也。《巽》以贞终，《震》以行始，大《震》入《巽》，故曰“终则有始”。《观》诸日月之得天久照，验诸四时之变化久成，征诸圣人之久道化成，天道圣道之历久不敝者，莫非此恒久之道也。
以此卦拟人事，《震》为长男，《巽》为长女，变《咸》之二少，为《恒》之二长，婚姻之礼，夫妇之《恒》道也。“雷风相与”者，天地之运也，“刚柔皆应”者，阴阳之机也，君子则之，以保其恒。以恒修身，而身教乃亨；以恒齐家，而家道乃亨；以恒治国，而国运亦亨，所谓无往不利者，此也。读《关睢》之诗，文王之化行于远，后妃之德修于内，其得《恒》之旨也夫！推之日月四时之久照久成，圣人之久道化成，仰观俯察，而《恒》之情可见矣。人事之通塞隆替，不外是焉。
以此卦拟国家，上卦为政府，有雷厉之性，以振兴庶政；下卦为人民，有风动之象，顺从政府之命令也。《恒》卦《震》上《巽》下，《震》为夫，《巽》为女，卦体本为夫妇。《咸》以少为情，《恒》以长为礼，《恒》即恒其所谓感也。然家修即为廷献，王化起于闺门，齐家治国，其道本一以贯，王道毕世而仁，圣功万年无敝，是即圣人之久道化成也。雷动风散，可见恩威之并施也；刚上柔下，可见宽猛之交济也。和顺取诸《巽》，振作取诸《震》，有为有守，无怠无荒，内秉洁齐之志，外协通变之宜，道以亨而无咎，化以久而弥神，终始如一，上下不疑，是久于其道也，而郅治有恒矣。日月之久照，四时之久成，胥于此可见矣。
通观全卦，《序卦传》曰：“夫妇之道不可以不久也，故受之以恒。”《咸》为夫妇之始，《恒》为夫妇之常，所谓《下经》首《咸》《恒》，以夫妇之道配《乾》《坤》也。然《恒》一卦，惟五爻言夫妇，余爻皆历言《恒》之不当，以为垂诫；且六爻无一吉辞，即《彖》辞，亦第云“无咎”。盖《恒》为天地之常道，日月久照，四时久成，不恒则变，《恒》则得其正。是以圣人曰“人而无恒，不可以作巫医”，皆反言以警之，而于《恒》未尝有赞词也。《象》曰“君子立不易方”，亦惟以不易者，守其《恒》而已。卦体六爻相应，刚柔二气，交相为用，刚有刚之道，柔有柔之道，《恒》之亨而无咎，惟久于其道也。《恒》之反卦为《咸》，故二卦爻象，皆颠倒相因。《恒》初爻之深刻，即《咸》上之巧令也；《恒》二之“悔亡”，即《咸》五之“无悔”也：《恒》三之承羞，即《咸》四之“朋从”也；《恒》四之非位，即《咸》三之“随人”也；《恒》五之妇吉夫凶，即《咸》三“凶，居吉”也；《恒》上之“大无功”，即《咸》初之“志在外”也。故二卦同体，而爻象反复。《咸》曰“圣人感人心，而天下和平”，《恒》曰“圣人久于其道，而天下化成”，天地万物之情，皆可于此见之矣。
《象》曰：雷风，恒，君子以立不易方。
《震》雷动而在上，《巽》风入而在下，雷风二物，虽至动至变而无常，而究其极，雷之发声不爽其候，风之嘘物，各应其时，振古如斯，未尝或失，故曰雷风《恒》。君子体此象以应万变，而道则不变，《恒》而已矣。“立”者确乎不拔，“方”者主一不迁，志有定向，而持守弥坚，不为富贵淫，不为贫贱移，不为威武屈，特立无惧，此君子之所以为君子者，得《恒》道也。
【占】　问战征：雷出于地，风生于谷，防有敌兵埋伏，火炮攻击之虑。宜坚守营垒，不可退，后可以转败为功。
○　问营商：《震》属正东，《巽》属东南，曰“立不易方”，言贸易不可改易地方也。
○　问功名：《震》《巽》皆木，木植立不易，干霄直上，自得直达之象。但宜久成，不宜躁进。
○　问家宅：此宅坐西北，朝东南，为祖遗旧宅，是恒产，方向切不可移易。
○　问婚姻：男家长男，女家长女，二长相配，婚姻大利，可卜百年偕老。
○　问疾病：必是肝火上冲，痰火气喘，须服前方，不必改易。
○　问六甲：生男，必是初胎。

Judgment
Legge: Consistency means successful progress without error through firm correctness. Movement in any direction is advantageous.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Duration. Success. No blame. Perseverance furthers. It furthers one to have somewhere to go.
Blofeld: The Long Enduring. Success and freedom from error! Righteous persistence brings reward. It is favorable to have in view some goal or destination.
Liu: Duration. Success. No blame. It benefits to continue. Going anywhere is advantageous.
Ritsema/Karcher: Persevering, Growing. Without fault. Harvesting Trial.
Harvesting: possessing directed going. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of continuity and endurance. It emphasizes that continuing on and renewing the way you are following is the adequate way to handle the situation. To be in accord with the time, you are told to persevere!]
Shaughnessy: Constancy: Receipt; there is no trouble; beneficial to determine; beneficial to have someplace to go.
Cleary (1): Constancy is developmental. Impeccable. It is beneficial to be correct. It is beneficial to have a place to go.
Cleary (2): Constancy comes through without fault, beneficial insofar as it is correct. It is beneficial to have a place to go.
Wu: Constancy indicates pervasion. There will be no blame. It also indicates advantage of being persevering and having undertakings.

The Image
Legge: Thunder over wind -- the image of Consistency. The superior man stands firm and does not change his method of operation.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Thunder and wind: the image of Duration. Thus the superior man stands firm and does not change his direction.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes thunder accompanied by wind. The Superior Man stands so firmly that he cannot be uprooted.
Liu: Thunder and wind symbolize Duration. The superior man stands firm without changing direction.
Ritsema/Karcher: Thunder, wind, Persevering. A Chun tzu uses establishing, not versatility on-all-sides.
Cleary (1): Thunder and wind are perpetual. Thus does the superior person stand without changing places.
Cleary (2): Thunder and wind are constant; so do developed people stand without changing place.
Wu: A combination of thunder and wind forms Constancy. Thus the jun zi establishes himself by not changing his post.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Consistency means long continuance. The dynamic trigram of Thunder is above, and the magnetic trigram of Wind is below. Docility and Motive Force are in sympathetic communication because their dynamic and magnetic lines all correspond. When the motive power is spent it will begin again -- hence movement in any direction is advantageous. The sun and moon are consistent in their illumination, and the four sequential seasons are consistent in their cycles of growth. The sages are consistent in their work and all under heaven are transformed. When we examine this consistent perseverance the natural tendencies of heaven and earth are revealed.
Legge: The subject of the hexagram is perseverance in what is right, or in continuously acting out the law of one's being. It is seen as a sequel to the previous hexagram, Initiative. As that figure deals with the correct relations between husband and wife, so this figure treats of the continuous observance of their respective duties. Initiative consists of the trigrams symbolizing the youngest son and youngest daughter and shows how the attraction and influence between the sexes is strongest in youth. Consistency on the other hand, consists of the trigrams symbolizing the oldest son and oldest daughter. This couple is more staid. The wife occupies the lower place, and their relationship is

characterized by her submission. Given two parties, a magnetic and a dynamic in correlation, if both consistently observe what is correct and natural (i.e., the magnetic submissive and the dynamic firm), then good fortune and progress may be predicted for their course.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: The will to maintain the consistency of the Work assures progress in whatever direction it may take. The Superior Man holds fast to the principles of the Work. Wilhelm's title for this hexagram is Duration. I feel that the word Consistency best evokes the meaning of the figure. In an existence consisting of continuous change the only things that have duration are the principles upon which change is based. To adhere to these principles is to maintain consistency. Implicit here is a consistent balance of forces. Consistency in the Work means neither consistent action nor inaction, but an appropriate combination of the two principles as required by changing circumstances. The Confucian commentary alludes to this characteristic of the Work when it mentions the sun, moon and changing seasons as examples of forces which maintain their consistency within a context of continuous change. Just as the moon at night reflects the light of the hidden sun, so in the Work the ego is always magnetic in relation to the dynamic Self. A moon that thought that it was the source of its light would be egregiously deluded, despite superficial appearances to the contrary; so too the ego that thinks that its powers come from anywhere but the Self. Motives and standards of choice are not invented by the ego but are structured by the actualization of archetypal predispositions through personally acquired value standards.
E. C. Whitmont -- The Symbolic Quest
SUGGESTIONS FOR MEDITATION
Note that all of the lines in the hexagram are generally unfavorable except two and five, and that when they both change places the hexagram becomes number thirty-one, Initiative. There is a profound lesson here which is best appreciated by meditating on the associations implied. The fact that each hexagram is the inverse of the other should not be forgotten.

初六变卦

  初六爻动变得周易第34卦：雷天大壮。这个卦是异卦（下乾上震）相叠。震为雷；乾为天。乾刚震动。天鸣雷，云雷滚，声势宏大，阳气盛壮，万物生长。刚壮有力故曰壮。大而且壮，故名大壮。四阳壮盛，积极而有所作为，上正下正，标正影直。

初九爻的哲学含义

恒卦第一爻，爻辞：初六：浚恒，贞凶，无攸利。爻辞释义
浚：疏浚，指将河道挖深，疏通水流。
本爻辞的意思是：刨根挖底地深入追求常久之道，结果必然凶险，没有一点好处。
初六位于恒卦的第一爻，喻指事情处于初始阶段。初六阴柔失正，居位卑下，上应九四，处恒道之始，欲求深远之成果，却欲速不达。故应谨守正道以防凶险。否则执意浚恒，必将不得其利。
地深入追求常久之道所产生的凶险”，是因为事情刚开始，追求的目标就过于深远的缘故。
占得此爻者，可能正准备开始做某件事情，在这个时候，不适宜追求过分深入，也不要一下子投入太多。还没有真正地深入了解情况，就开始按恒久的打算来行事，会难以控制以后的发展。
恒卦也指夫妻情感，卦的上体为夫，下体为妇。按古人的观点，妻子应该顺从，应该是以下顺上，女人不应该主动。所以本爻如果从男女关系或夫妻感情上看，喻指女人急于求成，主动追求，缺乏自制的理智和涵养，这样是不利的。
天地的恒久之道有四季的变化，日月的恒久之道有消长盈虚的变化，而人也应当效法天地与日月的恒久之道，不可因恒而不变。
恒久是相对的，恒久是会有好结果的。爻辞中以“浚恒”为例，说明了这个道理。古人择水边而居，于是河水泛滥之灾成为人们生活的隐患。所以古人要适时地对河床进行清理，以防止河床变浅而导致水漫田庄。可是如果每天都进行清理河床，就没有必要了。这样做只能费力不讨好，因为人们不会因为每天清理河床而得到更多的生活资料。所以说天天清理河床，尽管出发目的是好的，但是结果也会凶险。

初六：浚恒，贞凶，无攸利。
《象传》曰：浚恒之凶，始求深也。
“浚”，深也。初爻当《恒》之始，以始求终，所当循序渐进，方能几及，所谓登高必自卑，行远必自迩，由此以往，无不利也。若乃辍等以求，如撮土而期为山，勺水而欲成海，初基乍立，后效殊奢，事虽不失其正，要必难免于凶也，故曰“浚恒，贞凶”。《象传》曰“始求深也”，“始”，指初爻也，谓其未涉其浅，而遽求其深，是欲速而不达者也，非徒无益，反见其凶，譬如用智而失之凿，求道而索之隐，皆“浚恒”者之过也。
【占】　问战征：宜步步为营，切忌孤军深入，深入必凶。
○　问营商：宜得利即售，不可垄断居奇，以贪高价。
○　问功名：宜安分守职，切勿梯宠希荣，徼幸图功，恐反招辱。
○　问婚姻：婚姻之道，宜以门户相当，切勿慕富攀贵，贪结亲，反致后悔。往往有之。
○　问家宅：宅是新建，惜乎过求华丽，致难持久。
○　问讼事：恐一经涉讼，历久不了。
○　问六甲：初胎，生女，惟恐难育。
【例】　明治十五年七月，朝鲜变起，花房公使以下，脱归长崎，同年八月，朝廷发陆海军，命花房公使重至朝鲜，使之问罪。余筮之，得《恒》之《大壮》。
断曰：《观》初六爻辞，知朝鲜之渐进开化也。今番朝鲜虽失礼于我，若政府乘一朝之怒，忘恒久之道，责之过深，则是爻辞所云“浚恒，贞凶，无攸利”，正当为政府虑矣。问政府今用问罪之举，不在深求，而在和解，则其事可谐，即或一时未谐，《恒》之初爻，变为《大壮》，则以《大壮》之军备，压制而已。其策则分我军为六，留其四于马关，以其二为朝鲜开化党之声援；如此而犹有不及，可使一军自元山津而冲其背，可使开化党维持朝鲜也，是天数之理也。
筮毕，呈之某贵显，贵显又使人更问曰：朝鲜之事，虽不足忧，清国之关系实大也，子幸占我国与清国关系。余复筮之，得《艮》之不变。
断曰：《艮》者两山相对之卦，两山相对，可见而不可近也，又不可相应也。于不近不应之卦，其无战争，断可知也。其后朝鲜之事，果如此占。

Line-1
Legge: The first line, magnetic, shows its subject deeply desirous of long continuance. Even with firm correctness there will be evil; there will be no advantage in any way.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Seeking duration too hastily brings misfortune persistently. Nothing that would further.
Blofeld: To ensure his continuance, he digs a hole for himself. This sort of determination brings misfortune, for he is unable to go anywhere.
Liu: One seeks duration too insistently; to continue this brings misfortune. Nothing is of benefit.
Ritsema/Karcher: Diving Persevering, Trial: pitfall. Without direction: Harvesting.
Shaughnessy: Distant constancy; determination is inauspicious; there is no place beneficial.
Cleary (1): Deep constancy; fidelity brings misfortune. No benefit.
Cleary (2): In deep constancy, fidelity brings misfortune; there is no gain.
Wu: He seeks a lasting relationship from afar. Even though he is earnest, it will be foreboding and there is nothing to be gained.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: The evil attached to the deep desire for long continuance arises from the deep seeking of it at the commencement of things. Wilhelm/
Baynes: The misfortune arises from wanting too much immediately at the outset. Blofeld: Misfortune caused by trying to achieve enduring results at the very beginning. Ritsema/Karcher: Beginning seeking depth indeed. Cleary (2): The misfortune … is from seeking depth to start with. Wu: Because he starts by seeking an intimate relationship.
Legge: Line one has a proper correlate in four, but between them are two dynamic lines, and it is itself magnetic. These conditions prevent her from receiving much help from line four. She should be quiet and not be anxious for action. The emphasis of what is said derives from her being the first line of the figure, at "the commencement of things."

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: At the outset the man wants to endure. Whatever endures must be gradually matured. There is no advantage in precipitous action.
Wing: Do not attempt to wholly and quickly embrace a method or system that is new to you. Life-styles cannot be changed overnight. There are no shortcuts to reform. Such things are cultivated and matured in order to bring about the desired results.
Editor: The image depicts compulsive persistence in trying to force an issue or in seeking a premature synthesis. If this is the only changing line, the hexagram becomes number thirty-four, Great Power, implying that perhaps you are too impatient for results. The Work demands change, and often we long for some measure of stability which is inappropriate to the process taking place. Ritsema/Karcher translate “Without direction: Harvesting” as: "No plan or direction is advantageous; in order to take advantage of the situation, do not impose a direction on events." The second clause suggests that circumstances will improve if you just don't meddle with them. A nation may be said to consist of its territory, its people, and its laws. The territory is the only part which is of certain durability.
Abraham Lincoln
A. Don't push the river. You are trying too hard to succeed. Curb your impatience and allow the Work to go at its own pace. Let things develop naturally.
B. A premature synthesis. You are jumping to conclusions. The principles of the Work are your guide to action, not the superficial changes in your milieu.

周易第三十二卦九二爻详解

九二变卦

  九二爻动变得周易第62卦：雷山小过。这个卦是异卦（下艮上震）相叠。艮为山，震为雷，过山雷鸣，不可不畏惧。阳为大，阴为小，卦外四阴超过中二阳，故称“小过”，小有越过。

九二爻的哲学含义

恒卦第二爻，爻辞：九二：悔亡。爻辞释义
亡：是指自行消失。
本爻辞的意思是：悔恨自行消除。
从卦象上看，九二属于阳爻居柔位，本有失正之悔，但是由于其居位而应中，能谨守中道而恒久不偏，所以能消除失正之悔。
《象》中这样分析此爻：九二“悔亡”，能久中也。这里指出，九二这一爻能够使“悔恨自行消除”，是由于它能够常久地守中不偏的缘故。
占得此爻者，应该记住本爻的启示，在处理问题时要坚持不偏不倚的原则，这样便没有什么可担忧的，“人存中正德，守己自然安”，做事坚持正道，安分守己，一切都会变得顺利。
占得此爻者，如果现在正为所做过的事情后悔，那么不妨离开一段时间，或者是转移一下注意力，后悔就会自行消除了。
女子占得此爻，表示争强好胜，才能突出，在男人面前很强势，对丈夫横加指责或挑剔，有些违逆不敬的现象存在。但是女人对其丈夫是忠诚的，并无悖德行为发生，所以不会有灾祸，也不会发生什么后悔的事情。
九二爻居于下卦的中位，又与六五相应，所以不会有悔恨的事情发生。在恒卦中，九二能够恒久地守于中庸之道，既不过激也不过缓，所以可以恒而有成，不会造成悔恨。

九二：悔亡。
《象传》曰：九二悔亡，能久中也。
二爻以阳居阴，是失位也，失位故有悔；然二处《巽》之中，为《巽》之主，二与六五阴阳相应，以刚中之德，辅柔中之君，道既得中，又能持久，故曰“悔亡”。《象传》曰“能久中也”，谓可久之道，不外乎中，能“久于其道”，必能久于其中也。二爻能之，悔自亡矣。
【占】　问战征：营位失当，恐有后悔，惟宜居中不动，持久固守，可免祸也。
○　问营商：货物不得销路，致有耗败，宜历久待价，可得反本。
○　问功名：失其机会，反招灾害，待时而往，虽不成名，亦无尤也。
○　问家宅：此宅地位不当，居者不利。十年之后，宅运可转，方得无咎。
○　问婚姻：平平。
○　问六甲：女生。
【例】　某会社社长，来请占社运，筮得《恒》之《小过》。
断曰：此卦“雷风相与”，“刚柔皆应”，是会社之象也。卦名曰《恒》，业必以久而成也。今占得第二爻，二爻以阳居阴，未免位置不当，事有窒碍；足下躬膺社长，当以中正处之，保其恒久。守《巽》之贞，法《震》之往，历久不倦，而推行尽利，其道乃亨，何悔之有？
社长闻之曰：该社自开业以来，多不能如意，今得此占，自当恒久不已，以图远大之业。后此会社，果得盛大。
【例】　明治二十六年二月，北海道炭矿铁道会社支配人植村登三郎来曰：余从事社务有年，事务多端，深恐力弱才微，不胜其任，思欲改就官职，犹豫未决，幸请一筮。筮得《恒》之《小过》。
断曰：《巽》下《震》上，《巽》为薪，有煤炭之象，《巽》又为商，为利，有会社之象；《震》为行、为奔，有铁道之象。今占得第二爻，九二《坎》爻，辰在子，上值虚，虚为北方列宿之中，故会社在北海道。二爻以阳居阴，为失位，故有悔，然足下既从事社务，必深识其中之利益，久于其道，自然精明练达，能振兴其业也。后植村氏得此占，益加勉励，不数月，至占重任。

Line-2
Legge: The second line, dynamic, shows all occasion for repentance disappearing.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Remorse disappears.
Blofeld: Regret vanishes.
Liu: Remorse vanishes. [A stable situation is now possible.]
Ritsema/Karcher: Repenting extinguished.
Shaughnessy: Regret is gone.

Cleary (1): Regret disappears.
Wu: Regret disappears.

Confucius/Legge: He can abide long in the due mean. Wilhelm/Baynes: It is permanently central. Blofeld: The line implies ability to remain upon the middle path. [I.e. To avoid extremes and cleave to the golden mean. This is suggested by the position of the line which is central to the lower trigram.]
Ritsema/Karcher: Ability lasting, centering indeed. [The ideogram: field divided in two equal parts. Image of hexagram 61.] Cleary (2): One can remain balanced. Wu: (He) can remain in the central position for a long time.
Legge: Line two is dynamic, but in the place of a magnetic line. However, because of his central position he holds fast to the due mean.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man endures by keeping his force of character within the bounds of available power.
Wing: Apply just enough consistent force to effect the situation. Too much energy, or too little, will create chaos. Avoid extremes in your actions.
Editor: Line two is the dynamic correlate of the magnetic fifth line, and thus becomes the ruler of the hexagram. The meanings of both lines are derived from this switch of positions. (Ordinarily the fifth place is the seat of the ruler.) If both lines change, the hexagram becomes number thirty-one, Initiative, with which the figure is intimately connected, as Legge's notes point out. This suggests that consistency in the World of the Senses (domain of the ego) allows the initiative to originate from the World of Thought (the domain of the Self – the Causal Plane of Theosophy); which is to say that the ego's consistent perseverance is essential for the transformation of the psyche. The attitude which is often necessary to accomplish this is symbolized in the IX of Wands in the Tarot: This card symbolizes those qualities that cause one to defend principles which may not be fully understood. And whether or not he understands what he is doing in its every aspect, he will do it as best he is able.

九三变卦

  九三爻动变得周易第40卦：雷水解。这个卦是异卦（下坎上震）相叠。震为雷、为动；坎为水、为险。险在内，动在外。严冬天地闭塞，静极而动。万象更新，冬去春来，一切消除，是为解。

九三爻的哲学含义

恒卦第三爻，爻辞：九三：不恒其德，或承之羞，贞吝。爻辞释义
或：指或许、有时、常常。承：是指承受、遭受。羞：是指羞辱。
本爻辞的意思是：不能恒守德行的人，常常会受到羞辱，若坚持不改则会有困难。
从卦象上看，九三属于阳爻居刚位，具有好动、急躁、盲进之象，其正应于上六，位处内外卦之间，会出现躁动盲进、守恒不终的情况，“凡无恒者，皆不能保其德”，不能长期地保持自己的美德，有时就会蒙受羞辱，行事艰难。
从夫妻关系、男女感情上看，因为下卦代表女人，九三这一爻指女人很强悍，不但性情泼辣，还有不能恒久坚守妇道之嫌，为此会被人羞辱。如果坚持不悔改，则难有好结果。
《象》中分析此爻道：“不恒其德”，无所容也。这里指出，“不能常久地保持美好的品德”，是说由于急躁妄动，不安分守己，没有恒心，因此落了个无处容身的下场。
九三：不恒其德，或承之羞，贞吝。
象曰：不恒其德，无所容也。
经文意思是：不能保持自己道德的持久，或受到羞辱，守正道而有忧吝。
象辞意思是：不能恒久保持道德，这种人哪里都不会容纳他。
九三爻处于恒卦下卦巽的最上爻，巽有相随、随顺的含义，所以九三爻的性情应当是极其随和的，但怎么会“不恒其德”呢？原来九三爻处于下互卦乾卦的中位，有健而动的形象，并且又与上六相应，所以他的随顺不是一味的顺从，而是左右摇摆，一会儿跟随这个人，一会儿又跟随那个人，这种行为就叫“不恒其德”，这样也就难免会“承羞”、“贞吝”了。这位九三爻就好比三国中的吕布，虽然勇猛英俊，但是总是对主人不忠，见谁势力大就跟谁，所以人们骂他是“三姓家奴”，到最后没人敢收留他了，落得被杀的下
场。这就是象辞所说的“不恒其德，无所容也”。

九三：不恒其德，或承之羞，贞吝。
《象传》曰：不恒其德，无所容也。
九三处《巽》之极，《巽》为进退，为不果，“不恒其德”之象。“羞”者，耻也，九三以阳居阳，其位虽正，因其执心不定，德性无恒，而错误随之。“或”者，将然之辞，谓虽未明见其羞，而羞或承之矣，虽贞亦吝。“吝”谓可鄙也，《象传》曰“无所容也”，大节一亏，无所逃于天地之间，盖深斥之也。
【占】　问战征：军事贵勇往果决，得以制胜，《巽》为不果，必多畏却，则进退无恒，势将辱国伤师，咎何能辞？

断曰：此卦“恒久而不已”，是其贷与，永不返还可知。其辞曰“不恒其德”，谓彼穷迫如此，势必二三其德，不能《恒》守此约信也。“或承之羞”，谓君若盛气责之，彼必出言不逊，反受羞辱也。后果如此占。
【例】　明治二十八年，占清国国运，筮得《恒》之《解》。

Ritsema/Karcher: Not preserving one's actualizing-tao. Maybe receiving's embarrassing. Trial: abashment. [Actualize-tao: Ability to follow the course traced by the ongoing process of the cosmos. Linked with acquire, TE: acquiring that which makes a being become what it is meant to be.]

COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: He does not continuously maintain his virtue -- nowhere will he be borne with. Wilhelm/Baynes: He meets with no toleration.
Blofeld: Because, then, no one could endure him. [We can bear with an evil man more easily than with one who is liable to behave so inconsistently that we never know what to expect of him.] Ritsema/ Karcher: Without a place to tolerate indeed. Cleary (2): There is no accommodation. Wu: Consequently, he will not be welcome.
Legge: The third line is dynamic in a dynamic place, but has passed the center position of the lower trigram. He is too active, and coming under the attraction of his sixth line correlate, he is impelled to abandon his place and virtue. The

K'ang-hsi editors' version of the commentary is: "Nowhere can he bear to remain."
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man does not maintain an inner consistency of character. His vicissitudes lead to troubles from unforeseen quarters.
Wing: Your reactions and moods caused by external situations are as unpredictable as these varying circumstances. This inconsistency within the Self will bring your humiliation. In turn, this creates a cycle of difficulties. Try to center yourself.

九四变卦

  九四爻动变得周易第46卦：地风升。这个卦是异卦（下巽上坤）相叠。坤为地、为顺；巽为木、为逊。大地生长树木，逐渐成长，日渐高大成材，喻事业步步高升，前程远大，故名“升”。

九四爻的哲学含义

恒卦第四爻，爻辞：九四：田无禽。爻辞释义
本爻辞的意思是：到田间打猎，没有捕获到任何禽兽。
从卦象上看，九四这一爻属于阳爻居柔位，失位，恒居不当之位，虽有应于初六，做事却每每徒劳而无功，犹如到外面打猎却没有什么收获一样。
《象》中这样分析本爻：久非其位，安得禽也？
这里指出：长久地处在不属于自己应该处的位置上，又怎么能够捕获到禽兽呢？可见九四可能是做事不踏实，就像去打猎一样，不在猎物出没的地方守候，而是选择了错误的地方，或者虽去打错，实际却心不在焉，游山玩水去了。
“久猎于山必得兽，久钓鱼水必得鱼，若不得其位，犹缘木求鱼，固无得矣。”占得此爻者，在做事时可能选错了方向，导致一无所获。如果想求财，也是难以如愿。
占得此爻者，在夫妻关系上是不和谐的。恒卦的上卦代表男人，九四这一爻在上卦之初。古人是男子养家，到外面打猎一无所获，那么用什么来养家呢？这表示男人的能力欠缺，由于阳爻居阴位，失位不中，可能是怀才不遇，或者能力欠缺，穷困潦倒，不能尽男人的职责来养家，所以夫妻关系可能会发生动摇。
九四也是一位坚持恒久的人，可是阳爻居于偶位，又是上卦震的主爻，所以有喜动不静的形象，也就是说九四的恒久是恒久地运动。打猎四处游走，可以捕到走兽，但这样经常走动却无法获得飞禽。为什么呢？因为鸟会受惊而飞走。我们捕鸟的时候必须要静悄悄地躲在一边，这样才会有鸟飞过来。如果大声喧哗，四处走动，鸟是不会飞过来的。

九四：田无禽。
《象传》曰：久非其位，安得禽也。
“禽”者，鸟兽之总名，《震》为猎夫，《巽》为禽。九四处《震》之初，已出于《巽》，是《震》之猎夫前进，《巽》之禽后退，以此而田，必无获也，故曰“田无禽”，以喻失民心也。夫所贵于《恒》之道者，德称其位，才胜其任，事上而有所建明，治下而有所康济，积日累久，则其所裨益必多。九四以阳居阳，与初六相应，初六“浚恒”既“无攸利”，无利者，亦即“无禽”之谓也。《象传》曰“久非其位，安得禽也”，大凡所处非其地，所乘非其时，所为非其方，所交非其人，皆久而无功也。田之于禽，其得失最著者也，故以之为象。
【占】　问战征：立营不得其位，必致师老无功。

○　问家宅：此宅方位不利，不可久居，宜急迁移。

Line-4
Legge: The fourth line, dynamic, shows a field where there is no game.
Wilhelm/Baynes: No game in the field.
Blofeld: No game in the field.
Liu: No birds in the field. For a long time one is out of place. How can one get birds. [If you receive this line, you should not expect success, even with heightened efforts. Rather, be wary of losing your present position.]
Ritsema/Karcher: The fields without wildfowl.
Shaughnessy: In the fields there is no game.
Cleary(1): Fields, no game.
Wu: He hunts, but his bag is empty.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Going for long to what is not his proper place, how can he get game? Wilhelm/Baynes: When one is forever absent from one's place, how

can one find game? Blofeld: How can one who remains long out of place hope to gain his quarry? [ A reference to the unsuitable position of this line. An example of what is implied is furnished by people whose talents and interests incline them towards a profession quite different from the one in which they are employed; with the best will in the world, they cannot do justice to themselves.]
Ritsema/Karcher: No lasting whatever: one's situation. Quietly acquiring the wildfowl indeed. Cleary(2): This is not the place for persistence. How can one catch game? Wu: He has not been in the right place for a long period of time. How can he have bagged any game?
Legge: Line four is dynamic in a magnetic place, thus suggesting the symbolism.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: Perseverance alone does not assure success. No amount of stalking will lead to game in a field that has none.
Wing: Be certain your goals are realistic. If you try to achieve things that are unlikely, no matter how vigorously, you will still accomplish absolutely nothing. Perhaps you should re-evaluate your desires.
Editor: There is sometimes an implication in this line that if you would just sit still maybe the game would come to you. The dead came back from Jerusalem, where they did not find what they were seeking.

九五爻的哲学含义

恒卦第五爻，爻辞：六五：恒其德，贞；妇人吉，夫子凶。爻辞释义
本爻辞的意思是：长久地保持美德，坚守正道。对女子吉祥，对男子有凶
六五这一爻，要看占之者是男是女，同样要求做到“恒”，对于女人来说，
强调的是嫁人及夫妻关系，对于男人则调强的做事，开创事业，所以男女“丨亘”的结果是不同的。
《象》这样分析本爻：妇人贞吉，从一而终也；夫子制义，从妇凶也。这里指出，女人恒其美德，坚守正道可以获得吉祥，是说女人一生应该只嫁一个丈夫，终身都不能改嫁他人；男人遇事应当果断处理，如果像女人那样只知顺从、优柔寡断的话，就会遭遇凶险。因为男人在社交活动中，要因事制宜，善于权变，如果像女人一样处处唯唯诺诺，默守陈规陋俗，缺乏开创精神，是很难有所成就的，甚至会出现不能挣钱养家的情况。
六五以阴柔之德居于尊位，虽不得位但是居中，所以能够坚守中庸之道。六五的恒久相对妇人来讲是吉祥的。因为跟一个男人白头到老符合封建的礼教思想。可是男人如果像女人一样就会凶险了，这是怎么回事呢？其实六五的夫子指的便是九二与九四。六五地位髙于九二与九四，所以九二与九四必须听从六五的，故此爻辞中说六五的丈夫凶险。而六五的吉祥则来自于她在九二与九四之间选一个人作为自己的丈夫，并且能够从一而终，所以吉祥。从卦象上分析，他选择的应当是九四。也正因为这样，九四才会“田无禽”。因为九四与初六相应，有相恋之象，可是由于与六五的关系，他又无法与初六进一步发展，所以“无禽”。

六五：恒其德，贞，妇人吉，夫子凶。
《象传》曰：妇人贞吉，从一而终也。夫子制义，从妇凶也。
六五居得尊位，为《恒》之主，下与九二相应。九二居《巽》，《巽》为妇，六五居《震》，《震》为夫。六五专守九二之应，贞一其德，贞则贞矣，为妇则吉，为夫凶也。不知五为《震》主，《震》为行，丈夫之志，当以义制事，推行尽利，以垂久之业，若第以从一为正，是妾妇之道也，孟子所谓“贱丈夫”者是也。《象传》曰“从一而终”，谓妇人之德，惟宜从一，故曰“贞吉”；夫“夫子制义”，谓丈夫之行，惟宜审义。义则不害于贞，贞则或伤其义，故曰“从妇凶也”。《象传》所云“贞吉”者，指妇人也；“利有攸往”者，指丈夫也。知夫此，而《恒》之道得矣。
【占】　问战征：古称军中有妇女，士气不扬，项羽之败，未始非虞姬累之也。行军宜凛之。
○　问营商：商业宜随时变通，若拘泥执一，妇孺贪小之见，必无大利也。
○　问功名：丈夫志在四方，前程远大，若徒贪恋闺房，伤身败名，凶莫大焉。
○　问家宅：古云“牝鸡司晨，惟家之索”，是当深戒。
○　问婚姻：女家占此则吉，男家占此则凶。
○　问六甲：生男。
【例】　豪商某来，请占气运，筮得《恒》之《大过》。
断曰：足下久营商业，精明强干，余所素知。今占气运，得《恒》之五爻，五为《震》之主爻，《震》为从，故《象》曰“从妇凶”。夫女子小人，皆属阴象，商业之推行，权宜自主，不可听从人言，治家之道，亦不可偏听妇言。爻象之辞，垂诫深矣，足下宜凛之！

Line-5
Legge: The fifth line, magnetic, shows its subject continuously maintaining the virtue indicated by it. In a wife this will be fortunate; in a husband, evil.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Giving duration to one's character through perseverance. This is good fortune for a woman, misfortune for a man.
Blofeld: Making a virtue of marital constancy is a type of persistence which brings good fortune to women, but is harmful to men. [Here "constancy" is used in the limited sense of devotion to husband or wife and willingness to submit absolutely to his or her judgment.]

Liu: Firmly instilling duration in one's character is good fortune for a woman, but not for a man.
Ritsema/Karcher: Persevering one's actualizing-tao: Trial. Wife people: significant. The husband, the son: pitfall. [Actualize-tao: Ability to follow the course traced by the ongoing process of the cosmos. Linked with acquire, TE: acquiring that which makes a being become what it is meant to be.]
Shaughnessy: Making constant his virtue; determination is auspicious for the wife, inauspicious for the husband.
Cleary(1): Constancy in virtue; this righteousness is good for a woman, bad for a man.
Cleary (2): The fidelity of constancy in virtue bodes well for a woman, bodes ill for a man.
Wu: The subject perseveres in principle. This is auspicious for a woman, but ominous for a man.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Such firm correctness in a wife will be fortunate -- it is hers to the end of life to follow with an unchanged mind. The husband must
decide what is right, and lay down the rule accordingly -- for him to follow like a wife is evil. Wilhelm/Baynes: Perseverance brings good fortune for a woman, because she follows one man all her life. A man must hold to his duty; if he follows the woman, the results are bad. Blofeld: A woman follows one lord for the whole of her life, but men have to hold to their public duties. For them to subordinate themselves to women would bring shame upon them. Ritsema/
Karcher: Adhering-to the-one and-also completing indeed. Adhering-to the wife: pitfall indeed. Cleary (2): What bodes well in fidelity for a woman is consistency from start to finish. For a man doing his duty, to follow a woman bodes ill. Wu: She perseveres in playing her devoted role to the very end. Ominous for a man, because he should judge each issue on its merit and not follow the role of a woman.
Legge: The magnetic fifth line responds to the dynamic second, and may be supposed to represent a wife conscious of her weakness, and docilely submissive, which is correct. A husband, however, and a man generally, has to assert himself, and lay down the rule of what is right. From line five it appears that what is right will vary in different cases. The lesson of the hexagram is perseverance in what is right in each particular case.

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man is faithful to tradition and submits meekly. These are desirable virtues for a wife but not for a man of affairs. He should be flexible and assertive, according to the demands of duty and the tenor of the times.
Wing: When you are seeking earthly things, apply earthly methods. When your goals are lofty and ambitious, your methods must be inventive and daring. Learn to apply the appropriate kind of effort to achieve the effect you desire.
Editor: What appears to be outrageous sexism is seen to be a profound truth when interpreted symbolically. The wife is emotion, the husband reason, and the line examines the crucial division of labor between them. Reason must be flexible or it becomes petrified into dogma; emotion must remain firm and not give in to impulse or it becomes uncontrolled passion. The circumstances of each situation dictate their proper response. In the flux and flow of life, mindless adherence to "precedent" is the strategy of shysters and dogmatists. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
Kahlil Gibran -- The Prophet
A. Control your emotions and allow reason to make the choices. Reason should at all times be flexible and allow itself to be guided by the requirements of the time. Emotion, on the other hand, must always maintain a firm adherence to the principles of moderation and restraint.

上九爻的哲学含义

恒卦第六爻，爻辞：上六：振恒，凶。
恒卦第六爻，爻辞：上六：振恒，凶。爻辞释义
本爻辞的意思是：摇摆不定，不能坚守常久之道，凶险。
《象》分析此爻说：振恒在上，大无功也。这里指出：摇摆不定，不能坚守常久之道，但是又高高在上，终将一无所成，不会有所建树。
从卦象上看，上六居于全卦最高位置，有如上位者。如果他不断地改变政策和作风，别人将无所适从。占得此爻者，做事要有恒心，耐住性子，坚持始终才会有所收获。倘若见异思迁，好动不止，不能守恒，是成不了大事的。
从夫妻关系上看，若是不能“守恒”，不能对妻子保持忠诚，而是在外面拈花惹草，动念不止，夫妻之情是难以恒久的，结果也必然凶险。
上六：振恒，凶。
象曰：振恒在上，大无功也。
经文意思是：震动长时间不停，凶险。
象辞意思是：上六在最上位摇摆不定，什么事也办不成所以有凶险。
上六处于全卦的最高处，可是他由于又是震卦的最上爻，所以有剧烈摆动的形象。身临高位而摇摆不定，是不会有所作为的，所以上六凶险。《老子》中说：“治大国，若烹小鲜。”什么意思呢？就是说治理大的邦国，政策不能频繁改动，如果朝令夕改，那么百姓很难明白国君的政策到底是什么。因为古代信息不发达，所以大国家的君王要像烹饪小鱼小虾一样治理国家，小鱼小虾烹饪时不能经常翻动，如果翻动就会变成碎末，所以治大国也要这样。而上六就好比一个经常改变自己主意的君王，怎么会不凶险呢？

上六：振恒，凶。
《象传》曰：振恒在上，大无功也。
《震》动也，故《恒》至于上，有振动之象焉。上六处《震》之终，为动之极。动者宜守之以静，终者宜返之以始，斯德可全于末路，业不败于垂成，恒道成矣。今上六处《恒》之极，而振动不已，以振为恒，恒有尽而振无尽，是以凶也。《震》为决躁，《巽》亦为躁卦，躁动无时，犹是雷发而不收，风行而不止，其何能有功哉！故《象传》曰“大无功也”。

断曰：凡占卦遇上爻，上为卦之终局，必其人好运已终，只宜静守而已。今《恒》之上六，曰“振恒”，以振为恒，是卦已终，而动未终，故曰凶也。足下占得此爻，当守静以制动，斯可无咎。

Line-6
Legge: The sixth line, magnetic, shows its subject exciting herself to long continuance. There will be evil.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Restlessness as an enduring condition brings misfortune.
Blofeld: Prolonged violent exercise -- misfortune! [This implies violent activity directed to wrong ends and therefore barren of result.]
Liu: Continuous agitation means misfortune.
Ritsema/Karcher: Rousing Persevering: pitfall.
Shaughnessy: Distant constancy; inauspicious.
Cleary (1): Constancy of excitement is bad.
Cleary (2): Constant excitement bodes ill.

Wu: He changes his constant course. This is foreboding.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Far will she be from achieving merit. Wilhelm/Baynes: Restlessness as an enduring condition in a high position is wholly without merit.
Blofeld: The prolonged violent exercise signified by this line is completely void of worthwhile results. Ritsema/Karcher: The great without achievement indeed. Cleary (2): Constant excitement in those on top is utterly unsuccessful.
Wu: Changing his constant course at the last stage will not accomplish anything.
Legge: The principle of perseverance has run its course and the energy of the upper trigram of Movement is exhausted. The line itself is magnetic, and her violent efforts can only lead to evil.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man in a high position is perpetually excited and restless. As a result he does not have the inner composure necessary for positive contributions. His motive power is soon exhausted by violent efforts.
Wing: If you handle your affairs in a perpetual state of anxiety, you will soon exhaust yourself. More could be accomplished with a calm and composed demeanor. Make an attempt to comprehend and align yourself with what is truly happening before you create serious problems for yourself.
Editor: Legge's interpretation of this line is inconsistent with the other translators, depicting "foolish consistency" as the problem, whereas Wilhelm, Blofeld and Liu all identify it as "consistent foolishness." (Ritsema/Karcher's "literal English" could be interpreted either way.) My experience endorses the majority opinion. The line often reminds us how anticipation is inconsistent with
centeredness. Perhaps you're trying too hard. "Be here now" -- allow the Work to unfold as it will. Favorinus tells how Epictetus would also say that there were two faults far graver and fouler than any others - inability to bear, and inability to forbear, when we neither patiently bear the blows that must be borne, nor abstain from the things and the pleasures we ought to abstain from.
The Golden Sayings of Epictetus
A. The times call for endurance, but you are not enduring the times. Constant fretting wears down the soul.
