初九爻的哲学含义

泽雷随卦，指随从、随和、跟随等等。这个卦是异卦相叠，下卦为震，上卦为兑。震为雷、为动；兑为悦。动而悦就是“随”。

从卦象上分析，豫卦上卦为兑为泽为喜悦，下卦为震为雷为动，雷在泽中、心喜而动便是豫卦的卦象。雷怎么会藏在沼泽地里呢？原来，古人通过观察，发现春雷响过之后，惊醒了蛰伏的动物，于是万物苏醒，大地上开始呈现出勃勃生机。可是到了秋天的阴历八月以后，便没有雷声了，一些动物开始为冬眠做准备。通过这个现象，古人认为这就是天道的善意，天气转暖了，天用雷声唤醒大地上的万物；天气转凉了，天便把雷藏了起来，不再惊动大地上的万物了。由于此时沼泽地里也会发出一种声音，所以人们便认为雷到了秋天便藏到了沼泽地里了。从这个卦象中可以看出，随卦还有随时而动的含义。而震卦代表动，兑卦代表喜悦，所以有随着喜悦而动，追随喜悦的含义。

随卦之象：云中雁传书，主信至；一堆钱，有才义；朱门内有人坐，主坐官府；一人在门外立，主士人求进，欲得变身。凡事值此，得贵人力。良石琢玉之卦，如水推画之象。

17.泽雷随(䷐)-高岛易断

《随》：泽上雷下，《震》奋下，《兑》虚上，其中疏流，则内动不自主，而顺从外，从外，故曰“随”，遂以《随》名卦。《兑》为少女，《震》为长男，以少女从长男，是随之义也；兑为泽，《震》为雷，雷震泽中，泽随而动，是随之象也。其义其象，皆取以阳下阴，阴必悦随，朱子所谓“此动彼悦，成随”是也。《序卦》曰，“《豫》必有随，故受之以《随》”，盖为豫悦之道，物来随己，己亦随物，此《随》之所以次于《豫》也。

随：元亨利贞，无咎。

▲　篆书随

卦体《震》自下而震动，《兑》在上而感悦，从而应和之为《随》。盖有舍己从人，乐取于人以为善，故《随》之道，可以致大亨也。《震》为健，得夫《乾》，故曰“元亨”；《巽》于地为刚卤，合夫《坤》，故曰“利贞”。《杂卦》曰“随无故也”，谓上下各从其所处而安，不待有所为也。无故则无事，无事则何咎之有？然失之贞正，则枉己徇人，易于有咎，亦足戒也。

《彖传》曰：随，刚来而下，柔动而说，随。大亨贞，无咎，而天下随时，随时之义大矣哉！

此卦本《坤》下《乾》上之《否》，《否》之卦顺以随健。今《否》之上爻，下入《坤》之初爻，而为《震》，其初九为成卦之主；《否》之初爻，上入《乾》之上爻，而为《兑》。是以阳下阴，以高下卑，阳动阴悦，物来随我，我亦随物，谓之《随》。“刚来而下柔，动而悦，随”也，是随之义也。凡人君之从善，臣下之奉命，学者之从义，子弟之从师，皆随也。至于人之从天，欲之从理，邪之从正，为随之善者也。随之道利贞正，若反之，则谓之诡随，即违夫时矣。君子随时而动，随时而悦，各得其宜，是以所为无不奏功，故曰“随大亨贞，无咎”。《随》之义，以动而随，不动则必不能随；以悦而随，不悦则必不欲随。雷发于下，雨水随之降于上，是泽随夫雷，上随夫下也；违其时，则雷不动，泽不悦，上下必不相随。不知随之道，必宜合时，推之天下，阴阳刚柔，莫不皆然，故曰“天下随时”。随之时义如此，岂不大哉！

以此卦拟国家，则内卦为人民，行动勤勉，从事职业，不敢上抗政府，惟从政府之所命；外卦为政府，不挟威权，惟施悦民之命令，故得上下君民之间，亲密和悦，上倡下顺，天下和平，人心镇静，此《随》之时也，谓之“随，元亨利贞，无咎”。当此之时，九五之圣明在上，居中正之位，廓然大公，相孚于善。君能虚己从臣，臣更恭顺以从君，是以初爻则“有渝”而不失其正，二爻则有“系”而不免于私，三爻则以“居贞”而“有得”，四爻则以“在道”而无咎，上爻则以“从维”而“用享”。总之，从正则吉，从邪则凶；非随之咎，其所以随者自取其咎。夫人臣随君，以诚相通，是以“元亨”；事必“在道”，以正相从，是以“利贞”。如是则君之随臣者，谏则必纳，言则必听；臣之随君者，令无不从，命无不奉。斯以动感悦，以悦应动，上下相随，而治事“大亨”，故曰：“随时之义大矣哉！”

以此卦拟人事，惟在以强随弱也。夫阳刚之人，不肯下人，是以人心常多乖离，而事业概不得成。若能以刚下柔，措置得宜，则众心必服，何咎之有？随者，不专己之意，即舍己从人，取人为善，其机甚捷，其理甚顺，其功必易成，故曰“元亨”。然随之道，有正有邪，苟其一于柔顺，必致枉道以徇人；过于容悦，则将违道而干誉，是失随之正也。惟其动其悦，悉随夫时，内不失己，外不失人，斯随得其正，咎何有焉！故曰“利贞，无咎”。《易·彖》中系“元亨利贞”之辞者凡七，《乾》、《坤》、《屯》、《随》、《临》、《无妄》，皆在上经，《革》一卦在下经，皆大有为之时，以我得乘时之势，曰“元亨利贞”。“元亨利贞”之解，详《乾》下，须参看。随时之义甚大，推之造化，则震者春也，东方之卦也，万物随之而生，《兑》者秋也，西方之卦也，万物随之而成，故春生之，夏长之，秋成之，冬藏之，各随其时也。天下之理，不动则无所随，不悦则不能随。是《随》之义也，人事莫不皆然。

通观此卦，三阳三阴，初九以阳与六二遇，阳之随阴也；九五之孚上六，亦阳之随阴也；六二以阴居阴，是阴之从阴也，故曰“系”。有系必有失，不言凶咎，而凶咎可知。六三以阴居阳，是阴之从阳也，以阴故亦曰“系”，然系所当系，系即随，故曰“利居贞”。九四是以阳而随阴，逼近于五，刚而有获，臣道凶矣；惟能感之以诚，保之以哲，复有何咎乎？九五尊位，上动下悦之主，取人以为善，吉莫大矣。上六以柔顺居《随》之极，极夫随者也，能善用其系，系亦得其正也。总之，《随》之道，宜随时为动，从宜适度，处以至诚，出以大公，不特可感格群民，且可用享上帝，将率天下为随时矣。君子观此爻，而知随时之义甚大。盖前卦自《豫》来，悦以随时，无拂逆之情。《序卦传》曰，“《豫》必有随，故受之以《随》”，人能谦以致豫，则能悦以随时。不谦则安能豫？不豫则安能随？三者道同，而机会相因，机会者，惟在于时而已，而适时莫如随。然“随必有事”，有事而后蛊，此所以《蛊》次于《随》也。是故《随》如文王之事殷，《蛊》如武王之造周。夫《易》者不测之神藏，圆妙之灵府也，观之于万物，推之于万事，无所不在，无所不赅，非神圣之道，则安能如此乎？

《大象》曰：泽中有雷，随。君子以向晦入宴息。

此卦以《震》阳陷《兑》阴，有藏伏之象，《象》曰“泽中有雷，随”，不曰雷之动，而曰雷之有，《本义》以雷藏泽中释之，深得其旨，盖知象之取义，在雷伏势时也。君子观此象；故不言动作，但言“宴息”。雷之伏藏，在寒冬，人之宴息，在“向晦”，盖亦各随其时也。君子应天而时行，时当“向晦”，入居于内，宴息以养其身，起居随时，惟宜自适。盖其动也，与雷俱出；其静也，与雷俱入。《豫》之“作乐崇德”，《大壮》之“非礼弗履”，《无妄》之“茂对时育”，皆法春雷之动也；《复》之闭关息旅，《随》之向晦宴息，皆法秋雷之藏也。夫舍百为之烦扰，就一枕之安闲，所以养精神于鼓舞之余，以为将来应用之地。故以形息者，凡民所同；以心息者，君子所独。君子虽才德兼备，当随时适宜，否则亦必有咎，是以遇随之时，韬智藏德，辞禄不居，养晦以遵时，抱道而伏处。文王之服事殷纣，勾践之隐会稽，皆得向晦宴息之义者也，谓之“君子以向晦入宴息”。互卦三、四、五为《巽》，二、三、四为《艮》，《巽》为入，《艮》为止，即入而止息之象也。

Judgment

Legge: Following indicates successful progress and no error through firm correctness.

Wilhelm/Baynes: Following has supreme success. Perseverance furthers. No blame.

Blofeld: Following. Sublime success! Righteous persistence brings reward -no error! [This sublime success comes, of course, only to those who follow what is right, namely the will of heaven or of those whose own will embodies it.]

Liu: Following. Great success. It is of benefit to continue. No blame.

Ritsema/Karcher: Following. Spring Growing Harvesting Trial. Without fault. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of being impelled or drawn into moving forward. It emphasizes that yielding to the impulse by accepting guidance is the adequate way to handle it. To be in accord with the time, you are told to: follow!]

Shaughnessy: Following: Prime receipt; beneficial to determine; there is no trouble.

Cleary (1): Following is greatly developmental: it is beneficial if correct; then there is no fault.

Cleary (2): Following is very successful, etc.

Wu: Following is primordial, pervasive, prosperous, and persevering. There will be no blame.

The Image

Legge: Thunder in the marsh: the image of Following. The superior man, in accordance with this, at nightfall enters his house and rests.

Wilhelm/Baynes: Thunder in the middle of the lake: the image of Following. Thus the superior man at nightfall goes indoors for rest and recuperation.

Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes thunder rumbling within a swamp! When darkness falls, the Superior Man goes within and rests peacefully. [The component trigrams can be read as thunder and marsh, but also as movement and joy. In the Book of Change, joy is frequently associated with willing obedience to and glad acceptance of what is right.]

Liu: Thunder in the lake symbolizes Following. In the evening, the superior man rests and relaxes in his home.

Ritsema/Karcher: Marsh center possessing thunder. Following. A chun tzu uses turning-to darkening to enter a reposing pause.

Cleary (1): There is thunder in the lake, Following. Thus do superior people go inside and rest when the sun goes down.

Cleary (2): … Leaders go in and rest at sundown.

Wu: Thunder in the marsh is the symbol of Following. Thus the jun zi retires toward the twilight of the day.

COMMENTARY

Confucius/Legge: In Following the dynamic trigram places itself under the magnetic. We see in them the attributes of Movement and Pleasure. Through firm correctness all under heaven will be found following at such a time.

Legge: Following comes after Enthusiasm, the symbol of harmony and satisfaction. When these conditions prevail men are sure to follow. The hexagram includes the ideas of both following others and being followed by others. (Emphasis mine, Ed.) The good auspice is due to this flexibility, but in either instance the following must be guided by a reference to what is correct. The lower trigram of Movement represents the eldest son, and the upper trigram of Pleasure represents the youngest daughter. The strong places itself under the

weak -- esteeming others higher than himself, and giving the idea of following. The union of Movement with Pleasure suggests the same idea.

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES

Judgment: Following means advancement through willpower. The Superior Man rests on his inner virtue.

In Following, the trigram of Movement "follows" the trigram of

Cheerfulness: independent action subordinates itself and allows itself to be led by cheerful obedience. In terms of the Work, this symbolizes our willingness to "follow" or adhere to its principles. Psychologically interpreted, Following means the compliant subordination of ego-autonomy to the Great Work of psychic integration. Blofeld points out that the trigram of Joy, or Cheerfulness is often associated with "willing obedience to and glad acceptance of what is right." Hence the cheerful following of the intent of the Self. He explains the role of the superior man in the Image as: "It is not hard to see the connection between following and resting peacefully; for, once we have given our allegiance to others [the Self], we no longer have to worry about what should be done." At seventy ... Confucius allowed his mind to follow whatever it desired, yet everything he did was naturally right of itself. His actions no longer needed a conscious guide. He was acting without effort. This represents the last stage in the development of the sage.
