【原文】 节①:亨。苦节②,不可贞。
【译文】 节卦:亨通。如果以节制为苦,其凶吉则不可卜问。
【注释】 ①节,卦名。本卦为异卦相叠(兑下坎上)。上卦为坎,坎为水;下卦为兑,兑为泽。水满溢于泽外,务必高筑堤防以约束之,所以卦名曰节。节,节制。用以警惕人们:天地有节度,才能常新,国家有节度,才能安,个人有节度,才能全性。②苦,用如动词。节,节制。苦节,犹言以节制为苦,即所渭以放肆为乐。
天尊地卑,乾坤定矣。卑高以陈,贵贱位矣。动静有常,刚柔断矣。方以类聚,物以群分,吉凶生矣。在天成象,在地成形,变化见矣。是故刚柔相摩,八卦相荡。鼓之以雷霆,润之以风雨。日月运行,一寒一暑,乾道成男,坤道成女。干知大始,坤作成物。干以易知,坤以简能。易则易知,简则易从。易知则有亲,易从则有功。有亲则可久,有功则可大。可久则贤人之德,可大则贤人之业。易简而天下之理得矣。天下之理得,而成位乎其中矣。
