Judgment
Legge: Inner Truth moves even pigs and fish, and leads to good fortune. There will be advantage in crossing the great stream. There will be advantage in being firm and correct.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Inner Truth. Pigs and fishes. Good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water. Perseverance furthers.
Blofeld: Inward Confidence and Sincerity. Dolphins -- good fortune! It is advantageous to cross the great river (or sea). Persistence in a right course brings reward.
Liu: Inner Truthfulness. Sea Lions -- good fortune. It is of benefit to cross the great water.
Ritsema/Karcher: Centering Conforming, hog fish significant. Harvesting: wading the Great River. Harvesting trial. (Hog fish, T’UN YU: aquatic mammals; porpoise, dolphin; intelligent aquatic animals whose development parallels the human; sign of abundance and good luck.) [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of the relation between your inner core and the circumstances of your life. It emphasizes that bringing your central concerns and your life situation into a sincere and reliable accord is the adequate way to handle it...]
Shaughnessy: Central Return: the piglet and fish are auspicious; harmonious: beneficial to ford the great river; beneficial to determine.
Cleary (1): Faithfulness in the center is auspicious when it reaches even pigs and fish. It is beneficial to cross great rivers. It is beneficial to be correct.
Cleary (2): Sincerity in the center is auspicious when simple-minded ... etc.
Wu: Sincerity moves piglets and fishes. Auspicious. It will be advantageous to cross the big river with perseverance.

61 -- Inner Truth - 61
The Image
Legge: Wood on a Marsh -- the image of Inner Truth. The superior man deliberates about cases of litigation and delays the infliction of death.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Wind over lake: the image of Inner Truth. Thus the superior man discusses criminal cases in order to delay executions.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes wind blowing over a marshy lake. The Superior Man devotes careful thought to his judgments and is tardy in sentencing people to death.
Liu: The wind over the lake symbolizes Inner Truthfulness. The superior man judges criminals and postpones capital punishment.
Ritsema/Karcher: Above marsh possessing wind. Centering Conforming. A chun tzu uses deliberating litigating to delay dying.
Cleary (1): There is wind above a lake, with truthfulness between them. Thus superior people consider judgments and postpone execution.
Cleary (2): There is wind over a lake, with sincerity in the center. True leaders consider judgments and postpone execution.
Wu: There is wind above the marsh: this is Sincerity. Thus, the jun zi deliberates the verdicts and enjoins the death sentence.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Inner Truth shows two magnetic lines occupying the innermost part of the hexagram, with dynamic lines in the centers of the trigrams. We see the
attributes of Cheerfulness and Flexible Penetration -- sincerity thus symbolized reaches even to pigs and fishes and will transform the country. We see one riding on the symbol of
Wood, which forms an empty boat -- hence it is advantageous to cross the great stream. The virtue of Inner Truth requires firm correctness and shows the proper response of man to heaven.
Legge: Inner Truth denotes the highest quality of man, giving its possessor the power to prevail with spiritual beings, with other men and with lower creatures. There are two magnetic lines in the center and two dynamic lines above and below them. The magnetic lines represent the heart and mind free from all preoccupation, without any consciousness of self. The two dynamic lines immediately above and below them are each in the center of their respective trigram, and denote the solid virtue of one so free from selfishness. The trigram of Wood above the trigram for a Lake or Marsh suggests a boat crossing the great stream. The pigs and fishes symbolize the rudest and most obstinate of men. Ch'eng-tzu observes: "We have in the sincerity shown in the upper trigram superiors condescending to those below them in accordance with their peculiarities, and

61 -- Inner Truth - 61 we have in that of the lower those below delighted to follow their superiors. The combination of these two things leads to the transformation of the country and state."
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: It is a great accomplishment when Inner Truth alters archetypal forces within the psyche. The ego’s devotion to the Work is the means to this end. The Superior Man carefully differentiates his options and avoids drastic measures. (Can sometimes mean: "Don't act until you are sure of all the facts.") Anyone who monitors his dreams and other images knows that the unconscious is a continuous wellspring of psychic energy. Jung has observed that we are probably
dreaming all of the time -- the only reason we don't usually notice this is because the conscious mind is so powerful that the more subtle manifestations of the psyche are eclipsed. Since consciousness consists of only the upper layers of a deep continuum of awareness it is obvious that we are being continuously "created from within." The ultimate source of our being is not easily accessible, but all of the empirical evidence
points to a "Self" which transcends the space-time continuum -- i.e., lives in another "dimension." The capacity to nullify space and time must somehow inhere in the psyche, or, to put it another way, the psyche does not exist wholly in time and space. It is very probable that only what we call consciousness is contained in space and time, and that the rest of the psyche, the unconscious, exists in a state of relative spacelessness and timelessness.
Jung -- Letters This seemingly exotic concept was written by Jung in 1939, yet today the theories of the quantum physicists are approaching the point where awareness itself will be recognized as space-time transcendent. In the modern Kaluza-Klein theory all the forces of nature, not merely gravity, are treated as manifestations of spacetime structure. What we normally call gravity is a warp in the four spacetime dimensions of our perceptions, while the other forces are reduced to higher-dimensional spacewarps. All the forces of nature are revealed as nothing more than hidden geometry at work ... There is a deep compulsion to believe in the idea that the entire universe, including all the apparently concrete matter that assails our senses, is in reality only a frolic of convoluted nothingness, that in the end the world will turn out to be a sculpture of pure emptiness, a self-organized void.
Paul Davies -- Superforce The physicists now hypothesize an eleven-dimensional universe, and state that the seven "extra" dimensions are somehow "rolled up to a very small size" so that they are not apparent to our senses. If we are going to hypothesize such fantastic realms it is more elegant to hypothesize consciousness itself as emanating from an extra-dimensional

61 -- Inner Truth - 61 source. This is the Pleroma of the Gnostics and Alchemists, the upper and lower worlds of shamanism, or in Jungian parlance: the Objective Psyche or Collective Unconscious. The familiar spacetime of our conscious experience consists of three linear
dimensions, plus time. Time is considered a dimension, but not like the other three -- one can go up, down, forward and backward, to the left or right at will, but one cannot go back to this morning or forward to next Thursday afternoon. The time dimension is a continuous "now" and we experience it and the other three dimensions from the reference
point of consciousness -- we are the center from which all dimensions radiate. Consciousness is like time in that it is always "now," and since consciousness emerges from within in a continuous and autonomous flow, we can legitimately hypothesize that we emanate from a power source in another dimension. We are a kind of continuous
explosion from within -- a microcosmic version of the "Big Bang" which originated the universe, and which, incidentally, is still exploding-expanding outward into space. If everything that is recognizable is so only because it has separated itself from the "all and nothingness," leaving its complementary half behind in the unmanifested state, then the earth too must have its complementary half in the unmanifested state, and the force of gravitation it exerts on all the creatures and objects living on it is the striving for reunification between the earth and its unmanifested complementary half which has been left behind in the void as its negative reflection. The earth's gravitational pull thus draws all the earth towards the void which stands beyond time and space, in order to bring about this reunion. If the earth were to yield, all the earth and everything on it would disappear into the
center, into the void. But that would be a return to the paradisiacal unity -- to
God -- to bliss!
Elisabeth Haich -- Initiation The image of the hexagram Inner Truth gives us the idea of an "empty" center -as good an image as could be devised from the structural components of the trigrams to show the inner source of human consciousness. The pigs and fishes of the Judgment are the archetypal complexes which must be tamed through the process of the Work, and to "cross the great stream" with firm correctness is to accomplish this holy task. Through all ages men have sought, and some have found; there is a door through which we can pass out on to the higher planes, but that door is within the soul, it is an enlargement of consciousness whereby we perceive these things to which we have hitherto been blind, and from such perception comes the sense of reality which is lacking while we perceive nothing but appearances. Whoso has this wider vision is freed from the limitations of the five physical senses; his memory extends back beyond birth, and his hopes go forward beyond death ... Having all aspects of his own nature harmoniously developed, he is at one with all aspects of the universe, nothing is alien to him, and no form of existence is hostile. The path of life is open before him and he treads it with joy.

周易第六十一卦初九爻详解

初九变卦

  初九爻动变得周易第59卦：风水涣。这个卦是异卦（下坎上巽）相叠。风在水上行，推波助澜，四方流溢。涣，水流流散之意。象征组织和人心涣散，必须用积极的手段和方法克服，战胜弊端，挽救涣散，转危为安。

初九爻的哲学含义

中孚卦第一爻，爻辞：初九：虞吉，有它不燕。爻辞释义
虞：指预料，猜测。有它：指生异心。燕：指安宁，安逸。
本爻辞的意思是：可以预料得到吉祥。但是若有其他想法的话，则会失去安宁。
从卦象上看，初九以阳爻居刚位，得位。初九又处于下卦兑的开始，兑代表着愉悦和欢乐，表明初九能够安于现在的位置，自得其乐，所以可获吉祥。但是其与六四正应，六四是近君大臣之位，初九与其关系密切，可有机会得到提升。但是初九与九二逆比，若是想要提升，可能会得到九二的阻碍，还可能为此发生争斗，所以不得安宁。
《象》中这样分析本爻：初九“虞吉”，志未变也。这里指出：初九“可以预料的到吉祥”，是因为其没有他求的志向没有改变。
占得此爻者，要注意专心于自己的工作，不要有其他奢望，不要去想晋升或发大财，这样会受到阻碍，而使自己失去安宁的日子。如果你安于现状，一切都会吉利。如果想改变现状，并有所行动，就会有意想不到的麻烦。
初九：虞吉，有他不燕。
象曰：初九虞吉，志未变也。
经文意思是：考虑好再做事吉祥，有其他的猜疑会导致不安。
象辞意思是：初九考虑好再做事吉祥，是因为没有改变自己的意志。

初九：虞吉，有它不燕。
《象》曰：初九“虞吉”，志未变也。

Line-1
Legge: The first line, dynamic, shows its subject resting in himself. There will be good fortune. If he sought to any other, he would not find rest.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Being prepared brings good fortune. If there are secret designs, it is disquieting.
Blofeld: The officer in charge of hunting and fishing [The whole of this phrase translates a single Chinese word. The additional commentaries in my possession differ widely in their interpretation of this character (which has several other meanings) and of the passage as a whole. None of them gives what seems to me a satisfactory explanation and
I must confess myself unable to interpret the meaning.] -- good fortune! The presence of others would give rise to anxiety. [In the light of the commentary on the line which follows, this could also be taken to mean: "Any other way than the way we are following would make us lose our peace of mind."]
Liu: Ponder carefully. Good fortune. Other thoughts lead to anxiety.
Ritsema/Karcher: Precaution significant. Possessing this, not a swallow. (Swallow,
YEN: house swallow, martin, swift, retired from official life; easy, peaceful, private; give a feast; relation between elder and younger brother.)
Shaughnessy: Self-satisfied auspiciousness; there are others not tranquil.
Cleary (1): Forethought leads to a good outcome. If there is something else, one is not at rest.
Cleary (2): Preparedness leads to a good outcome, etc.
Wu: Being devoted to a single cause is auspicious. Vacillation would lead to uneasiness.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: No change has yet come over his purpose. Wilhelm/Baynes: The will has not yet changed. Blofeld: The good fortune presaged by this line implies that our purpose remains unaltered. Ritsema/Karcher: Purpose not-yet transformed indeed.
Cleary (2): The mind is not changed. Wu: There has been no change in purpose.
Legge: Ordinarily, we would expect line one to turn to line four as its correlate. However, the K'ang-hsi editors contend that with the exception of lines three and six, the concept of correlation should be discarded from the study of this hexagram. Here sincerity is focused on inner truth, and this is the source of its power. "No change has come over his purpose" means that sincerity, perfect in and of itself, continues undisturbed by outside influences.

61 -- Inner Truth - 61
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: At the outset, the man relies on his inner stability and preparedness, which are the basis of a correct attitude toward the world. If he seeks secret ties, however, his peace of mind and inmost sincerity will be jeopardized.
Wing: Concentrate now upon your inner virtue. Rely upon your principles and those things you know to be true about your nature. Good fortune will come with this attitude. If you look outside of yourself for help, you may succumb to chaos and all subsequent action will be uncentered and improper.
Editor: There is some serious disagreement about the proper translation of this line. Wilhelm speaks of "being prepared;" Liu renders it as an injunction to "ponder carefully." Blofeld's version is a complete non-sequitur, and we can't help but wonder about the meaning of the "swallow" in Ritsema/Karcher's version. Nevertheless, all of the Confucian commentaries are closely analogous, so we can use it as our point of reference. The image is one of an inner centeredness which seems threatened. The proper response is an egoless receptivity to experience which has its secure foundation in Self-reliance. One comes from one's center, ignoring peripheral inner turmoil and its reflection in outer temptation, and thereby flows with Tao. It was even then only after the Heyoka ceremony, in which I performed my dog vision, that I had the power to practice as a medicine man, curing sick people; and many I cured with the power that came through me. Of course it was not I who cured. It was the power from the outer world, and the visions and ceremonies had only made me like a hole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds. If I thought that I was doing it myself, the hole would close up and no power could come through. Then everything I could do would be foolish.

九二变卦

  九二爻动变得周易第42卦：风雷益。这个卦是异卦（下震上巽）相叠。巽为风；震为雷。风雷激荡，其势愈强，雷愈响，风雷相助互长，交相助益。此卦与损卦相反。它是损上以益下，后者是损下以益上。二卦阐述的是损益的原则。

九二爻的哲学含义


中孚卦第二爻，爻辞：九二：鸣鹤在阴，其子和之
爻辞释义
阴：指幽暗之处。和：指应和。爵：古代的酒器，这里指代酒。糜：指共同分享。
本爻辞的意思是：仙鹤在阴蔽之处鸣叫，小鹤跟着应和。我有醇香的美酒，愿与你一同畅饮。
从卦象上看，九二以阳爻居阴位，处于下卦之中，其上面的六三、六四全为阴爻，所以其处于阴蔽之处。九二虽失位，但是能坚守中道，并愿意与他人分
九二这一爻启示了分享的精神。当你在工作中，虽然对于自己的职位不太满意，但是要调整自己的心态，来接受它，并能与其他的同事保持着应和关系，不要唱反调，而且要愿意与他人分享，这样会营造一个非常融洽的工作环境。
九二：鸣鹤在阴，其子和之，我有好爵，吾与尔靡之。
象曰：其子和之，中心愿也。

九二：鸣鹤在阴，其子和之。我有好爵，吾与尔靡之。
《象》曰：其子和之，中心愿也。

Line-2
Legge: The second line, dynamic, shows its subject like the crane crying out in her hidden retirement, and her young ones responding to her. It is as if it were said: "I have a cup of good spirits," and the response were, "I will partake of it with you."
Wilhelm/Baynes: A crane calling in the shade. Its young answers it. I have a good goblet. I will share it with you.

61 -- Inner Truth - 61
Blofeld: A crane sings in the shade; its young ones follow suit. [This symbolizes a longing in which others share.] I have a fine goblet and will share it with you. [We should allow others to benefit from something or some circumstance which is valuable to us.]
Liu: A crane calls in the shade; its young ones respond. I have a good goblet (wine, virtue) to share with you.
Ritsema/Karcher: Calling crane located-in yin. One's son-hood harmonizing it. I possess a loved wine-cup. Myself associating, simply spilling it.
Shaughnessy: A calling crane in the shade, its young harmonizes with it: We have a good chalice, I will down it with you.
Cleary (1): A calling crane is in the shade, its fledgling joins it; I have a good cup, which I will quaff with you.
Wu: A crane cries in the shade and her young chime in. “I have fine wine. I would like to share it with you.”
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Her young ones respond to her from the common wish of the inmost heart. Wilhelm/Baynes: This is the affection of the inmost heart. Blofeld: `Its young ones follow suit' indicates heartfelt desire. Ritsema/Karcher: Centering the heart desiring indeed. Cleary (2): The fledgling joining in is the heart’s desire. Wu: The harmony comes from within.
The Master said: "The superior man occupies his apartment and sends forth his words. If they be good, they will be responded to at a distance of more than a thousand miles -how much more will they be so in the nearer circle! If his words be evil, they will awaken opposition at a distance of more than a thousand miles – how much more will they do so in the inner circle! Words issue from one's person, and proceed to affect the people. Actions proceed from what is near, and their effects are seen at a distance. Words and action are the spring and hinge of the superior man. The movement of that hinge and spring determines glory or disgrace. His words and actions move Heaven and Earth -may he be careless in regard to them?"
Legge: The young ones of the crane are represented by line one. The symbolism suggests two men brought together by their sympathy in virtue. The subject of the line is the effect of sincerity. As one bond of loving regard unites the mother bird and her young, so answers the heart of man to man.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man voices his feelings and defends his deeds by clear explanations, which exert a far-reaching chain reaction.

61 -- Inner Truth - 61
Wing: Here insight and influence are in their finest hour. The deeds you do, the words you speak, resonate in the hearts and minds of others near and far. You may expect a fortunate and beneficial response from your environment.
Editor: We see here a hidden mother bird calling to her young to share a cup of spirits. (Wilhelm, Blofeld and Liu all translate "hidden retirement" as "shade.") The image is of a
mother who cannot be seen -- i.e., a hidden source. Psychologically interpreted, this suggests the inner Self, and the shade suggests the darkness of the unconscious from which the Self calls to us. The young birds who respond to the call are the complexes of the psyche, including, of course, the conscious ego-complex. Despite conscious negative associations of alcohol with intoxication, "spirits" are a common dream symbol for the action of the spirit on consciousness. (Aqua Vitae, literally: "water of life," means alcohol or hard liquor.) The overall image then is one of the Self and its complexes united by their common "spirit." As concerning the most sovereign form of soul in us we must conceive that heaven
has given it to each man as a guiding genius -- that part which we say dwells in the summit of our body and lifts us from earth toward our celestial affinity, like a plant whose roots are not in earth, but in the heavens. And this is most true, for it is to the heavens, whence the soul first came to birth, that the divine part attaches the head or root of us and keeps the whole body upright.

A. An image of affinity and connectedness which may be hidden or not readily apparent.
B. Self and satellites united in accord: Nourishment which comes from within.

六三爻辞
六三。得敌，或鼓或罢，或泣或歌。

六三：击败了敌人，有的击鼓追击，有的凯旋报捷；消息传来，有的高兴得热泪盈眶，有的放声高歌。
《象辞》说：有的人击鼓追击，有的凯旋报捷，但从爻象看来，六三阴爻而处于阳位，胜利之中，恐怕隐伏着不测之祸。

六三变卦

  六三爻动变得周易第9卦：风天小畜。这个卦是异卦（下乾上巽）相叠，乾为天，巽为风。喻风调雨顺，谷物滋长，故卦名小畜（蓄）。力量有限，须待发展到一定程度，才可大有作为。

九三爻的哲学含义

本爻辞的意思是：遭遇强大的敌人，或者击鼓进攻，或者因疲惫而败退，或者因为惧怕而哭泣，或者由于躲过灾难而高歌。
从卦象上看，六三以阴爻居阳位，失位。其处于上下卦之际，与上九有应，说明它的心动于外，系于物，就是说本来应该安于其位，可是却想攀附上九，以找到晋升的机会，或是更大的发展。但是其却受到了各方面的阻力，而使自己陷入了不安宁之中。
《象》中这样解释本爻：“或鼓或罢”，位不当也。这里指出：“遭遇强大的敌人，或者击鼓进攻，或者因疲惫而败退”，均是因为六三爻居位不正的缘
占得此爻者，尽管你有背景，或者跟上层的领导关系亲密，你也极力讨好巴结他，想谋求提升，或者给自己的发展提供方便。可是周围的人或者上级非常看不惯你这种做法，对你阻碍或者打击。而且你依附的并不是当权的最高领导者，所以障碍重重。
六三：得敌，或鼓或罢，或泣或歌。
象曰：或鼓或罢，位不当也。

六三：得敌，或鼓或罢，或泣或歌。
《象》曰：或鼓或罢，位不当也。

Line-3
Legge: The third line, magnetic, shows its subject having met with her mate. Now she beats her drum, and now she leaves off. Now she weeps, and now she sings.
Wilhelm/Baynes: He finds a comrade. Now he beats the drum, now he stops. Now he sobs, now he sings. [Here the source of a man’s strength lies not in himself but in his relation to other people. No matter how close to them he may be, if his center of gravity depends on them, he is inevitably tossed to and fro between joy and sorrow.]
Blofeld: He makes an enemy. Beating a drum by fits and starts, he weeps and sings in turn. [We are conscious of having made an enemy, but we cannot make up our minds what to do about it. The implication is that we should have more courage.]
Liu: One meets a person. Suddenly he beats a drum, and suddenly he stops; then he weeps, then he sings. [You can expect to gain sometimes, but also to lose sometimes; in happiness hides sadness, but from sadness will spring joy.]

61 -- Inner Truth - 61
Ritsema/Karcher: Acquiring antagonism. Maybe drumbeating, maybe desisting. Maybe weeping, maybe singing.
Shaughnessy: Getting an enemy: now drumming, now weary, now crying, now singing.
Cleary (1): Finding enemies, sometimes drumming, sometimes stopping, sometimes crying, sometimes singing. [Believing in what is not to be believed will inevitably destroy faith. This is faith that takes the false to be true.]
Cleary (2): Finding a mate … etc. [All of this is due to lack of virtuous qualities and being out of place.]
Wu: He meets with his counterpart. Sometimes he drums, sometimes he stops, sometimes he wails, and sometimes he sings.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: The position of the line is not the appropriate one for it. Wilhelm/
Baynes: The place is not appropriate. Blofeld: His beating the drum by fits and starts is indicated by the unsuitable position of this line. Ritsema/Karcher: Situation not appropriate indeed. Cleary (2): The position is not appropriate. Wu: Because he is out of place. [The judgment describes how circumstances may influence the action of a person, but makes no comments on his behaviors.]
Legge: The mate of line three is line six. Although they are matched as correlates, each is in an inappropriate place. The idea is that sincerity, not left to itself, is influenced from outside which causes changes and uncertainty in one's moods.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man depends on others for his joys and sorrows, which generates an uncertainty of moods. His sincerity is impure and contaminated with external influences.
Wing: You depend upon your external relationships to dictate your mood or to gauge your confidence in yourself. This can sometimes elevate you to the heights of joy or banish you to the depths of despair. Possibly you may enjoy such range in emotion.
Editor: Note the close similarity between this line and line three of Hexagram #30,
Clarity: "In the light of the setting sun, men either beat the pot and sing or loudly bewail the approach of old age. Misfortune” (Wilhelm). Here, line three is unduly influenced by her sixth line correlate, who is portrayed as a crowing cock: an egotistical sham. Blofeld, Shaughnessy and Cleary (1) describe an enemy; Ritsema/Karcher call it “acquiring antagonism.” Whatever it is, the influence is not consistent with proper management of the Work. This suggests the psychic processes of the average human being. With her choices largely influenced by unconscious forces (which her correlate would probably call "free will"), her life is largely determined by circumstances beyond her control. At its most neutral, the line images the waxing and waning of fortune: "The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away."

61 -- Inner Truth - 61 But this duality would seem to alternate; what is victor today is the vanquished tomorrow; what guides us today becomes secondary and subordinate tomorrow. And everything is equally mechanical, equally independent of will, and leads equally to no aim of any kind. The understanding of duality in oneself begins with the realization of mechanicalness and the realization of the difference between what is mechanical and what is conscious. This understanding must be preceded by the destruction of the self-deceit in which a man lives who considers even his most mechanical actions to be volitional and conscious and himself to be single and whole.
Gurdjieff
A. An image of inconstancy and lack of will. Unstable effort and lack of centeredness (perhaps influenced by egotistical illusions) create consistently inconclusive results.

六四变卦

  六四爻动变得周易第10卦：天泽履。这个卦是异卦（下兑上乾）相叠，乾为天，兑为泽，以天喻君，以泽喻民，原文：“履（踩）虎尾，不咥（咬）人”。因此，结果吉利。君上民下，各得其位。兑柔遇乾刚，所履危。履意为实践，卦义是脚踏实地的向前进取的意思。

九四爻的哲学含义

中孚卦第四爻，爻辞：六四：月几望，马匹亡，无咎。爻辞释义
望：指农历十五、十六月圆之象。这里指月亮快要盈满而尚未盈满。
本爻辞的意思是：月亮将圆而未盈，好马失掉了匹配，没有过错。
从卦象上看，六四以阴爻居于柔位，得位。其为近君大臣之位，与九五君王亲比，关系很好，深得九五的信任。但是六四不能守持正道，与下面的初九有应，有营结私党之嫌。不过六四意识到了这方面的危险性，只忠心于九五，而断绝了与初九的关系，这就有如马匹只忠诚于主人而不去自己的同类与联系一样，“马匹亡”。既然六四能自己改正，也就没有什么过错了。
《象》中这样分析本爻：“马匹亡”，绝类上也。这里指出：“好马失掉了匹配”，是指六四爻诚信专一，断绝与同类之间的交往，而专心事奉君主。
占得此爻者，此时可能面临两个选择，可能在工作上或情感上有脚踏两只船之嫌。此时，你应该做出决断，当然，你自己知道哪个选择更适合自己，对自己更有利，所以一定要抛弃一个，这样才不会有过错。在单位里，你本来是领导的助手，可是下面有同事对领导有意见，你也随声附后，并与之交往过密，如果这样，你赶紧与这样的同事断绝关系，否则，会自惹麻烦。

六四:月几望，马匹亡，无咎。
象曰：马匹亡，绝类上也。
经文意思是：月近十五，马匹丢了，没有灾难。
象辞意思是：马匹丢了，是六四断绝同类而上承九五。

六四：月几望，马匹亡，无咎。
《象》曰：马匹亡，绝类上也。

Line-4
Legge: The fourth line, magnetic, shows its subject like the moon nearly full, and like a horse pulling a chariot whose fellow disappears. There will be no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The moon nearly at the full. The team horse goes astray. No blame.
Blofeld: A team of horses strays just before the full moon -- no error!
Liu: The moon will be full. He loses a team of horses. No blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: The moon almost facing. The horse team extinguished. Without fault.
Shaughnessy: The moon is past full; the horse will necessarily be lost; there is no trouble.
Cleary (1): The moon approaches fullness. The pair of horses is gone. No fault.
Cleary (2): The moon is almost full. When the horse’s mate disappears, there is no fault.
Wu: The moon is almost full. One horse of a pair is lost. No blame.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: She breaks with her former companions, and mounts upwards.
Wilhelm/Baynes: It separates from its kind and turns upward. Blofeld: The straying of the horses signifies rising above those of our own kind. Ritsema/Karcher: Cutting-off the above, sorting indeed. Cleary (2): The horse’s mate disappearing means breaking with peers to go higher. Wu: He forsakes the company of his own kind for the sake of service to the one above.

61 -- Inner Truth - 61
Legge: Line four is magnetic and in her correct place. She has discarded her correlate first line and hastens on to the confidence of the ruler in line five, who is symbolized as the nearly full moon. The symbol of the horse whose fellow has disappeared has reference to the discarding of the first line.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The team horse is the six in the third place. But the fact that there is similarity in kind has no determining effect. The line is correct in its place and has a receiving relationship to the ruler of the hexagram, the nine in the fifth place, whom it serves as minister.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man is humble and respectful in receiving enlightenment from superior quarters. He is like the team horse which follows the straight course without having to look at its mate.
Wing: Turn your attention to a superior person or a noble ideal and attempt to gain insight into this power. In responding to a larger goal, you may leave others behind. This is not a mistake.
Editor: According to Wilhelm, line three, the drum beating, sobbing and singing inferior man, is here symbolized as the “team horse” who is abandoned – not line one (Legge). This transfer of “horse-power” is psychic energy which forsakes its former pursuits to seek illumination or en-light-enment. The message is the abandonment of futile ways to focus on Inner Truth: Leave the cycles of weeping and singing to those who are still enamored of them. The Waxing moon is an increasing brightness which, because it is associated with the ruler, symbolizes a source of wisdom. The proper ego/Self relationship is implied. And what is purification but the separation of the soul from the body, as I was saying before; the habit of the soul gathering and collecting herself into herself from all sides out of the body; the dwelling in her own place alone, as in another
life, so also in this, as far as she can -- the release of the soul from the chains of the body?
Plato -- Phaedo
A. You are getting the idea. Abandon illusion and ascend toward truth -- the only freedom lies within.

挛：指紧密联系不可分开。
本爻辞的意思是：具有诚信之德并以其牵系天下人心，密切联系群众，所以没有祸患。
中孚卦第五爻，爻辞：九五：有孚挛如，无咎。人生启示
从卦象上看，九五以阳爻居于君主之位，信守中道又与六四亲比，二者相辅相成，所以不会有过失。
《象》中这样分析本爻：“有孚挛如”，位正当也。这里指出：“具有诚信之德并以其牵系天下人心”，是指居位中正适当，说明诚信这种教化作用可以施及整个邦国。
占得此爻者，要明白，做为一个领导，如果你诚心对待下级，他们也会真心地对待你。在婚恋方面，如果彼此真心相待，感情会得到升华和发展。
九五：有孚挛如，无咎。

象辞意思是：用诚信联系天下，是因为九五居中而得位。

九五：有孚挛如，无咎。
《象》曰：有孚挛如，位正当也。

Line-5
Legge: The fifth line, dynamic, shows its subject perfectly sincere, and linking others to him in closest union. There will be no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: He possesses truth, which links together. No blame.
Blofeld: He seems to be pulled forward by his confidence in what he is doing -- no error!

61 -- Inner Truth - 61
Liu: His truthfulness is steadfast. No blame. [Good fortune in everything.]
Ritsema/Karcher: Possessing conformity, binding thus. Without fault.
Shaughnessy: There is a return linkedly; there is no trouble.
Cleary (1): With faithfulness that is firm, there is no fault.
Cleary (2): With sincerity that is firm, there is no fault.
Wu: Sincerity can unite people as if connecting them with strings. No blame.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: The place of the line is the correct and appropriate one. Wilhelm/
Baynes: The place is correct and appropriate. Blofeld: This is indicated by the correct position of this ruling line. Ritsema/Karcher: Situation correcting appropriate indeed.
Cleary (2): The position is correct. Wu: It comes from the proper position.
Legge: Line five is dynamic and in the central place of the ruler. He is the sage on the throne whose sincerity goes forth to bind all in union with himself.
Wilhelm/ Baynes: This describes the ruler who holds all elements together by the power of his personality. Only when the strength of his character is so ample that he can influence all who are subject to him, is he as he needs to be. The power of suggestion must emanate from the ruler. Without this central force, all external unity is only deception and breaks down at the decisive moment.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The perfect sincerity of the sage on the throne binds all in union with himself.
Wing: This is the position of a true ruler. Such a person holds to virtuous goals and principles and emanates, to those all around him, the overwhelming force of his character. Others cling to him, and there is no blame in this.
Editor: The line and its commentaries present a highly accurate image of the individuation process in its concentrated essence. The goal of the Work is to unite all of the disparate aspects of the psyche into a harmonious whole. If this is the only changing line, the hexagram becomes number forty-one, Compensating Sacrifice, the corresponding line of which images a profound and beneficial increase: “Someone does indeed increase him. Ten pairs of tortoises cannot oppose it. Supreme good fortune” (Wilhelm). Psychologically interpreted, this is the seat of the Self in the hexagram of Inner Truth.

61 -- Inner Truth - 61 Behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Luke 17: 21
A. Inner Truth links powers together within the psyche.
B. "The truth shall make you free."

上九爻的哲学含义

中孚卦第六爻，爻辞：上九：翰音登于天，贞凶。爻辞释义
翰：指赤羽的山鸡，又叫作锦鸡。
本爻辞的意思是：锦鸡凭借华美的外表，高声鸣叫要去登天，有可能出现凶
从卦象上看，上九以阳爻居于阴位，不能持中守正，又与九五相敌逆比。虽然以前取得过成绩或是有一定要名声，但是都像是锦鸡一样，徒有外表。其并不具备登天的能力，却是高声叫着要去登天，就像一个有名无实的骗子一样，极尽欺诈虚伪之能事，所以非常凶险。
《象》中这样分析本爻：“翰音登于天”，何可长也！这里指出：“锦鸡凭借华美的外表，高声鸣叫要去登天”，这种声音虚而不实，声高于情，怎么可能长久保持呢？
占得此爻者，不要去做自己不能做的事，不要为让别人佩服自己、跟从自己而虚张声势，总有一天你会露出马脚到灾祸的。如果你以前曾经成功过，你为此趾高气扬，不可一世，很快你就会尝到失败的滋味。
上九：翰音登于天，贞凶。

《象》曰：翰音登于天，何可长也。风泽中孚卦注释
61　高岛易断-风泽中孚（䷼）
卦体上《巽》下《兑》，《巽》为风，兑为泽，风之应时，春夏秋冬，不愆其候，风之信也；泽之受水，朝潮夕泛，不爽其期，泽之信也。卦象三、四二柔居内，是谓中虚，中虚则通，通则孚；二五两刚得中，是谓中实，中实则诚，诚亦孚也。此卦所以名《中孚》也。
中孚：豚鱼吉。利涉大川，利贞。
孚者，信也，“中孚”者，信发于中也。内卦《兑》，《睽》上曰“豕负涂”，“涂”谓《兑》泽亏下，足以牧豕，豕小为豚，故《兑》亦有豚象；外卦《巽》，《巽》为鱼，鱼得水泽以为乐。二物虽微，皆能得《巽》《兑》之性，以为生活，故曰“豚鱼吉。”“大川”，即泽之大者。《巽》为木，“刳木为舟”，是涉川者所利用也，故曰“利涉大川”。其孚如此，宜无往而不利矣，然其中之邪正诚伪，又不可不辨，故曰“利贞”。
《 彖传》曰：中孚，柔在内而刚得中，说而巽，孚乃化邦也。豚鱼吉，信及豚鱼也。利涉大川，乘木舟虚也。中孚以利贞，乃应乎天也。
“孚”字，从爪，从子，如鸟抱子，不失孕乳之期，是其信也。发于外者为信，诚存于中为孚，谓之《中孚》，“中孚”者，其心虚灵，其行真实之谓也。为卦三四阴柔，合在两体之内，二五阳刚，各居一卦之中，柔内刚中各当所作，上《巽》下悦，相辅而行，乘天下之所顺，行天下之所悦，故曰“悦而巽，孚乃化邦也。”“豚鱼”，《正义》分为二物，吴草庐作江豚。江豚处大泽中，盖鱼类而豚形也，每当风起，拜舞江中，视其首之所向，即知风之所自，涉川者以之候风焉，俗呼谓拜江猪。“豚鱼”无知，而能感应风信，故曰“信及豚鱼”，孚之至也。《 易》言“利涉大川”，多取《巽》象，《巽》为木，木能水上浮行，语曰“乘桴浮海”，亦取此耳。卦体中虚，故谓“舟虚”，“舟虚”者，中无一物，随风往来，与波上下，任天而行，《中孚》之象也。孟氏卦气，以《中孚》为十一月卦，十一月当天道贞固之时，《中孚》得之，故能以利贞应天。
以此卦拟人事，孚者，信也。信见于言，言发于外也；孚感于心，心存于中也。人心之用，灵则明，明则诚，内贵虚灵不昧，外宜真实无妄，是所谓“柔在内而刚得中”也。由我之所悦，以之而顺人，人亦以其悦者，顺从夫我，彼此相悦，悦乃孚矣。此不特在人己之间也，即推之于邦家，邦家亦相率而化矣；又不特在邦之大也，即极之于庶物，庶物亦相感而信矣，是以吉也。“大川”者，泽水之险者也，非舟楫不克以涉之。“中孚”者，以礼义为干橹，心中自有涉川之具，虽危可涉，无往不利。心中虚，故象虚舟，语云，“言忠信，行笃敬，虽蛮貊行焉”，此物此志也，卦中四刚皆得《乾》体，《乾》为信，是孚之最贞者也。人能以刚德合天，即所谓“中孚以利贞，应乎天也”，夫岂硁硁信果，所可同日语哉！
以此卦拟国家，《檀弓》曰，有虞氏未施信于民，而民信之，施信而民信，孚犹后也；未施信而民信，孚在先也。盖不言而信，有不期其孚而孚者，孚由中出，在民亦不知其何以孚也，是无为而治之休风也。由是而气机所感，龟亦负图，鱼来献瑞，此即“信及豚鱼”之兆也。政教所覃，万邦协和，四海来同，此即“孚乃化邦”之象也。乃知圣天子德盛化神，大则蛮夷率服，小则鱼鳖咸若。治水而乘橇奏绩，济危而作楫有材，皆由履中居正，道协于中，德孚于外，是以天人感应，民物效顺，得以成风同道一之隆也哉。
通观此卦，此卦次《节》，凡事有节，则有常可守，无节则泛滥无据而不信。故喜怒哀乐，“中节”谓之“达道”，“达道”，即信也。《序卦传》曰，“节而信之，故受之以中孚”，此《中孚》所以次《节》也；卦内三四两偶为虚，二五两奇为实，初上两奇包外，恰如甲壳；鸟覆育其卵曰孚，应期而化，子自中出，故曰《中孚》。卦体《巽》上《兑》下，《巽》者东南司春，《兑》者正西司秋，自春至秋，自东至西，天地生物之功毕；《兑》往而归于西北，化机敛藏，贞固而为孚甲，遇《巽》复还东南，所以《兑》《巽》合而为《中孚》也。在五行则《兑》为金，《巽》为木，金克木。造物之理，生杀相因，卵不裂，不可以成鸟，木不刳，不可以为舟，《巽》木之利涉，《兑》金之功。故《兑》毁折而后能悦，《巽》鸡伏雏，甲坼而后羽毛见。《中孚》取象于孚卵，《小过》取象于飞鸟，法象之自然也。初象鸟之伏子，其心专一，故有“有它不燕”之辞；二象卵之受伏，其化将成，故有“鹤鸣”“子和”之辞；三象子之在壳，成败可忧，故有“得敌”之辞；四象卵之将成，盈满有时，故有“月几望”之辞；五象雏之成群，饮啄相呼，故有“有孚挛如”之辞；上象雏之习飞，下上其音，故有“翰音”“登天”之辞。有人则初上之实为躯，三四之虚为心，二五之实为情。然三四同虚，而有善有不善者，正则善，不正则恶；爻得位则正，失位则不正。初得位存诚，二得中相应，三不当位，四五当位，上九阳亢外弛，故初、二、四、五孚之善也，三上，孚之不善也。此贞谅之辨，圣人所谓倦倦者也。
《象》曰：泽上有风，《孚。君子以议狱缓死。
《象》不曰风在泽上，而曰“泽上有风”，显见泽水本静，因风而生波，犹言人心本平，因争而速狱。《巽》曰“申命”，有议缓之象；《兑》为刑人，有死狱之象；卦下互《震》，《震》为议为生，为缓，有“议狱缓死”之象。吕刑曰，狱成而孚，是狱必孚乃定；然狱虽孚，犹必议而缓之，即所谓罪疑惟轻是也。“议狱”者，审其所可疑，“缓死”者，求其所以生，孚之至也，故曰“君子以议狱缓死”。
【占】 问时运：“泽上有风”，防有风波之险。

初九：虞吉，有它不燕。
《象传》曰：初九虞吉，志未变也。
“虞”，虞人也。《巽》四曰“田获三品”，《兑》五曰“孚于剥”，《月令》，“冬日剥阴木”，《诗》云“九月剥枣，是谓斩木”，是《巽》《兑》皆有虞人之象，故《中孚》初爻取之。王制獭祭鱼，然后虞人入泽梁。按虞人入泽梁，在十月中，《周礼》山虞令万民斩材木，《贾疏》“草木零落，然后入山林”，亦在十月中。《中孚》为十一月卦，正当入泽梁，斩材木时也。岁有常期，则渔者樵者，受命于虞人，入泽入林，各从其取，故曰“虞吉”。顺《中孚》之时，不愆其候，不纷其志，无他求也；有他则上下不孚，渔樵失时，焚林竭泽，将自此起，不能安矣，故曰“有它不燕”，“燕”，安也。《象传》以“志未变”释“虞吉”，谓变即有他，有他即不吉矣。惟其初“志未变”，是以吉也。
【占】 问时运：阳刚当令，用心专一，不惑于他途，故吉。
○　问营商：安于本业，见异不迁，以交冬令为利。
○　问功名：有志竟成。
○　问战征：《巽》初爻曰“利武人之贞”，从禽从戎，其义相同，所当专心一志，踊跃前进，自可获胜。吉。
○　问婚姻：有从一而终之象。
○　问疾病：病可无虞，但恐有他变，变则危矣。
○　问讼事：恐有别生枝节。
○　问六甲：生女。
【例】　友人某来，请占商业，筮得《中孚》之《涣》。
断曰：爻曰“虞吉”，“虞”谓虞人。《巽》为鱼，兑为泽，故有虞人入泽梁之象。虞人入泽，得其所取，故吉，若他有所求，则取非其时，故不安。今足下占商业，得此爻辞，知所谋之业，必近木近泽，所谋之人，皆已众志相孚。事在初起，不必他求，业无不成。获利以冬季为宜，足下安心从事可也。
九二：鸣鹤在阴，其子和之，我有好爵，吾与尔靡之。
《象传》曰：其子和之，中心愿也。
“鹤鸣”“子和”，喻《中孚》之相应也。鹤为阳鸟，二以阳处阴，故曰“在阴”。《春秋·说题》称，鹤夜半则鸣，亦为信鸟，有孚之象。盖鸣者在鹤，和者为子，一鸣一和，同声相应，同气相孚，有得《中孚》感应之妙者矣。“我”谓二，“尔”谓五，“我有好爵，吾与尔靡之”，“靡”，共也，为二得此“好爵”，愿与五共之。二五相应，志同道合，一如母子相依，有同鸣共栖之象，其至诚之感孚如此。或疑五为君位，不当言子，不知《 易》尚变通，未可拘执一见也。《象传》曰，“中心愿也”，谓鸣和乃自然之应，中心相孚，孚之至也。
【占】 问时运：此唱彼和，适得我愿，正当运途亨通之会。
○　问营商：主客同心，气谊相投，有交相获利之象。
○　问功名：有父子同升之庚。
○　问战征：上下一体，如以臂使手，以手使指，一气相连，有进则共进，退则共退之象，未易攻击者。
○　问婚姻：得夫妇唱随之乐。
○　问疾病：是传染之症。
○　问家宅：必是贵显之家，且得孝贤之子。
○　问六甲：生女。
【例】　某贵显伤偶，鳏居数年，友人屡劝续娶不听，一日闻岐阜县士族，有一良妇，友人皆愿为执斧，恐某贵显固执不从，先为一筮以决之。筮得《中孚》之《益》。
断曰：此爻曰“鸣”曰“和”，有两心相得，同声同应之象。卦名《中孚》，孚谓鸟抱卵，有育子之象。占娶妇得此爻辞，知娶得此妇，必能夫唱妇随，家室和平，“鹤鸣”“子和”，“好爵”“尔靡”；且他日其子又能继承父业，共享荣贵，可谓既得佳妇，又有佳儿也，大吉之兆。占得此爻，友人又惧某贵显严肃，未敢启齿，余又占其媒之成否，筮得《兑》之《随》。
爻辞曰：“九二：孚兑，吉，悔亡。”
断曰：得此爻，其成必矣。孚者，信也，《兑》者，悦也，既信且悦，复又何疑？余乃先往说，果得允诺。继而又有以阀阅一妇为媒者，或疑前约，将有更变，余再筮之，遇《履》之《睽》。
爻辞曰：“九五：夬履，贞厉。”
断曰：《履》之三爻，为“虎尾”，五爻为虎背也。今某贵显骑虎之势，有不能中止之象，且五爻《象传》曰“夬履，位正当也”，是前约之妇，可为正婚也，知前约之妇，必不能罢。友人不听，进告贵显，贵显决意不允，准从前约，因类记之。
【例】　明治三十年，占我国与美国交际，筮得《中孚》之《益》。
断曰：“鹤鸣”“子和”者，是谓母子相依，鸣声相和，好爵尔靡者，是谓天爵之尊，尔我共有，此中相亲相爱之情，中怀固结，有默相感召者也。今占我国与美国交际，得此爻象，知我二邦，帮交素笃，虽远隔重洋，浑如父子兄弟，共处一室，尔爱我怜，无诈无虞，各保天位，共修天爵。此后交际，当有益见亲睦也。
六三：得敌，或鼓，或罢，或泣，或歌。
《象传》曰：或鼓，或罢，位不当也。
《 易》例以俱刚俱柔谓敌应，此爻三四俱柔，敌体也，故曰“得敌”。二至四互《震》，《震》为鼓，又互《艮》，《艮》为止，止即罢也，故曰“或鼓，或罢”。《兑》为口，能歌，《巽》为号，象泣，故曰“或泣，或歌”。“或”者不定之辞，盖三与四敌，始怒而鼓，复惧而罢，继喜而歌，复悲而泣，皆由中心无主，言动改常，其象有如此者。夫人有孚，虽千里相应，孰非吾与？不孚，虽一室相违，皆为吾敌，固不在外貌之相亲，而在内心之相孚也。三居《兑》之极，悦不由衷，故进退无极，惫可知也。《象传》以“位不当”释之，谓三以阴居阳，位不当也。
【占】 问时运：目下运途颠倒。
○　问营商：忽盈忽亏，忽成忽败，皆由主谋不定。
○　问功名：升降无常，荣辱随之。
○　问战征：强敌在前，难以制胜。
○　问婚姻：反复未成。
○　问家宅：宅神不安，事多颠倒。
○　问疾病：时重时轻，防有鬼祟。
○　问行人：欲归复止，一时未定。
○　问失物：防得而复失。

【例】　知友某出仕某县，顷有书来，曰奉内命，得升一级，自憾才力不能胜任，不如仍居现职，诸事熟练，僚友同心，幸无旷误也，请烦一占。筮得《中孚》之《小畜》。
断曰：爻以敌应在前，以致进退无恒，哀乐不定，有得不足喜，失不足忧之象。今足下占宦途升迁，得此爻象，知足下近有晋级之喜，然其中尚有转折可虑。爻辞所谓“鼓”者进也，“罢”者退也，“泣”者悲也，“歌”者乐也，是明言时事颠倒，心神缭乱，必有忌者为之播弄于其间也。是谓“得敌”，故虽升迁，不如不调，仍服原职为是。
六四：月几望，马匹亡，无咎。
《象传》曰：马匹亡，绝类上也。
六四重阴之爻，月，阴也，故象取月。月至“几望”而始盈，盈则中实，有孚之象。四与五比，五为君位，日也，四为月，月无光，得日之光以为光，是日月交孚也，孚之正者也，故曰“月几望”。“马”者，卦体本《乾》，《乾》为马，四动成《巽》，《乾》象已失，故曰“马匹亡”。“匹”谓初，以四与初，以类相应，谓之匹。《巽》为风，马之良者，能追风，《中孚》十一月，正胡马感北风之时，是《中孚》之气候，有以感之也。《象》以“绝类上也”释“马匹亡”，“类初”也。初亦《乾》体，象马，如马之离其群匹，绝初之类而上五也。“月几望”者，无盈满之嫌，“马匹亡”者，无党同之累，夫复何咎？窃又别得一说，按马得月之精气而生，月与马自相感孚，故月马并言。“几望”者，为月盈满之时，“匹亡”者，即《传》所谓“绝类”，是马之至良至驯者也。四爻重阴得《坤》气，《坤》为月，亦为牝马，爻象兼取之，以其一气相孚也。亦足备解。
【占】 问时运：运当全盛，宜保泰持盈，去私从公，得以无咎。
○　问营商：“月几望”，喻财利之丰盈；“马匹亡”，喻谋事之快利。吉。
○　问功名：有春风得意之象。
○　问战征：宜于月夜进攻，马脱蹄，兵衔枚，奋勇而上，定可获胜。
○　问婚姻；愿望颇丰，“匹亡”者，恐不久有丧偶之灾。
○　问疾病：三五之期不利。
○　问家宅：此宅阴气太盛，恐同居中，难免死亡之祸。
○　问行人：十四五可归。
○　问六甲：生女。
【例】　缙绅某来，请占谋事，筮得《中孚》之《履》。
断曰：爻象取月，取马，月则乘时而满，马者绝尘而趋，是为全盛之象。今足下占谋事，得《中孚》四爻，知足下所谋之事，约在望前可以成就。惟一时同谋诸友，其间有性情契合者，亦有意气不投者，所谓风马牛之不相及也。宜以其不投者，绝谢之，使不致败乃事矣，故无咎也。
九五；有孚挛如，无咎。
《象传》曰：有孚挛如，位正当也。
九五为孚之主，有孚一言，惟五足以当之。《巽》为绳，五《艮》为手，象挛，五居君位，二为臣位，五与二相应，即与二相孚。孚曰“挛如”，孚之至也。孚于臣，孚于民，亦可孚于邦，《彖》所谓“孚乃化邦”，由是而暨焉。《小畜》五爻，亦曰“有孚挛如”，《中孚》与《小畜》，同体巽顺，故同象。《象传》以“位正当”释之，谓二五之位适当，是以牵系不绝，故能有孚如此。
【占】 问时运：所谋所求，无不称心。
○　问营商：同心协力，合伙经营，无不获利。
○　问功名：有求必成。
○　问战征：军心团结，戮力同心，自能制胜。
○　问婚姻：有二人同心，百年好合之庆。
○　问家宅：一家和乐，百室盈止。
○　问疾病：病由肝风，致手足牵挛，带病延年，尚无咎也。
○　问讼事：防有桎梏之灾。
○　问六甲：生女。
【例】　缙绅某来，请占婚，筮得《中孚》之《损》。
断曰：卦象为至诚感孚，心心相印，故曰《中孚》。五爻为卦之主，爻曰“挛如”。正见其相孚之情，有团结而不解者矣。今占婚姻，得此爻象，知两家必是素相契合，有如手如足之好，此番缔姻，自然夫唱妇随，莫不静好。且五为贵爻，亦必是名门阀阅之家，大喜。
上九：翰音登于天，贞凶。
《象传》曰：翰音登于天，何可长也。
鸡曰翰音，鸡必振羽而复鸣。翰，羽翮也，鸡鸣不失时，孚之象也。鸡本微物，而翰音远闻，人无实德，而有虚声者似之。上居孚极，区区小忠小信，上彻九天，虽正亦凶。《象传》释以“何可长也”，谓其绳盗虚声，何能久乎？
【占】 问时运：运途亦盛，但虚而无实，转觉可危。
○　问营商：场面颇广，声势亦宏，有外观而无内蕴，恐其不能久也。
○　问功名：绳盗灵声，君子所耻。
○　问婚姻：恐难偕老。
○　问家宅：此宅有牝鸡司晨之象，家业难保，凶。
○　问疾病：肝风作痛，喊叫声声，病状颇苦，凶。
○　问讼事：势将上控，凶。
○　问六甲：生女，小儿善啼，恐难育。
【例】　一日有自称天爵大神者来，余问其名之何来，并相访之意，彼曰：余爱知县士族也，为患道路险恶，行者苦之，乃携锹一挺，出东海道，独力修缮，凡至一乡，呼告村人，使咸相助力，率以为常。一日山田大臣经过其地，见余修路，促使相见，余乃陈述心愿，大臣赞之曰：忘身而图公益者，谓之天爵大神，余因之自号为天爵大神。问其来意，曰：今欲架一桥，劝募资助，余乃以金若干与之。大神又请占气运，筮得《中孚》之《节》。
断曰：一鸣而声闻于天者，鹤也，鸡乃家禽，而妄窃鸣鹤之声，绳盗虚声，恐干灾祸，故爻曰“贞凶”。今君占气运，得此爻象，适与君之作为，如合符节。君以苦心苦力，修缮道路，事非不正也，然好名之心太重，实欲藉此区区劳力，以博美誉。试观水无源者立涸，木无根者立枯，名而无实，其安能不败乎？且君称名骇异，即取祸之由也。须敛迹自晦，可以免害。

Line-6
Legge: The topmost line, dynamic, shows its subject as chanticleer trying to mount to heaven. Even with firm correctness there will be evil.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Cockcrow penetrating to heaven. Perseverance brings misfortune.
Blofeld: The noise of cocks crowing rises to the sky -- to persist now would bring misfortune. [This suggests that we are over-confident and inclined to crow about our good fortune; but we should remember that triumph seldom lasts long and avoid seeking even greater triumphs at this time.]
Liu: The crow of a cock piercing the heavens. To continue -- misfortune.
Ritsema/Karcher: A soaring sound mounting, tending-towards heaven. Trial: pitfall.
Shaughnessy: The golden pheasant's sound ascends to the heavens; determination is inauspicious.
Cleary (1): The voice of a pheasant reaches the skies; even if devoted, the outlook is bad.
Cleary (2): A rooster ascends to the skies. Self-righteousness leads to misfortune.
Wu: The crowing sound of a rooster ascends high in the sky. It will be foreboding, even with perseverance.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Chanticleer tries to mount to Heaven, but how can such an effort continue long? Wilhelm/Baynes: How could such a one last long? Blofeld: For how could this continue for long? Ritsema/Karcher: Wherefore permitting long-living indeed? Cleary (2): How can the rooster who ascends to the skies last? Wu: How long can it last?
Legge: Line six should be magnetic, but is dynamic, and coming after line five, what can he accomplish? His efforts will be ineffectual and self-destructive. He is symbolized as a
cock -- literally: "The plumaged voice." But a cock is not fitted to fly high, and will only hurt himself in the attempt.

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: Mere words cannot be relied upon. Overdependence on them leads to bad results.
Wing: Your character has developed to a point where you can make a formalized appeal for help and allegiance in attaining ambitious aims. However, your position is not correct for such aspirations. The pursuit of these aims brings unhappiness and remorse.
Editor: The cock is a proud and stubborn bird: loud and aggressive, it is an appropriate symbol of a deluded ego. [Cocksure: "Given to or marked by overconfidence, presumptuousness, lack of thoroughness or cockiness."] The sound of a cock's crowing suggests proud words or vain ideas. His correlate is the weak and inconstant, “drumming and sobbing” third line, and he can be seen as an over-confident ego aspiring to lead the
psyche to glory -- an illusion which can only fail and thereby retard the progress of the Work. At worst, this implies bad faith; at best it suggests ignorance and illusion. Reliance on one's apparent self [ego] leads to ruin. To presume to be all-knowing is extremely harmful. Self-reliance or self-confidence means faith in the higher self. To persist in remaining what one already is or in holding on to one's
preconceived opinions at any cost -- such self-importance is unprofitable.
Swami Turlyananda
A. Ego pride destroys the Work.
B. Don't pretend to know or try to understand what is beyond your comprehension.
