经文:巽,小亨,利又攸往,利见大人。
WB: The Judgement: The gentle. Success through what is small. It furthers one to have somewhere to go. It furthers one to see the great man.

彖曰:重巽以申命,刚巽乎中正而志行,柔皆顺乎刚,是以小亨,利有攸往,利见大人。
WB: Penetration repeated, in order to spread commands abroad. The firm penetrates to the middle and the correct, and its will is done. Both of the yielding lines submit to the strong; therefore it is said: "Success through what is small. It furthers one to have somewhere to go. It furthers one to see the great man."

象曰:随风,巽;君子以申命行事。
WB: Winds following one upon the other: The image of the Gentle Penetrating. Thus the superior man spreads his commands abroad and carries out his undertakings.

初六:进退,利武人之贞。
WB: Six at the beginning means: In advancing and in retreating, the perseverance of a warrior furthers.

象曰:进退,志疑也;利武人之贞,志治也。
WB: In advancing and in retreating, the will wavers. The perseverance of a warrior furthers, the will is controlled.

九二:巽在床下,用史巫纷若,吉,无咎。
WB: Nine in the second place means: Penetration under the bed. Priests and magicians are used in great number. Good futune. No blame.

象曰:纷若之吉,得中也。
WB: The good fortune of the great numbers is due to the fact that one has attained the middle.

九三:频巽,吝。
WB: Nine in the third place means: Repeated penetration. Humiliation.

象曰:频巽之吝,志穷也。
WB: The humiliation of repeated penetration comes from the fact that the will exhausts itself.

六四:悔亡,田获三品。
WB: Six in the fourth place means: Remorse vanishes. During the hunt, three kinds of game are caught.

象曰:田获三品,有功也。
WB: During the hunt three kinds of game are caught. This is meritorious.

九五:贞吉,悔亡,无不利,无初有终。先庚三日,后庚三日,吉。
WB: Nine in the fifth place means: Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse vanishes. Nothing that does not further. No beginning, but an end. Before the change, three days. After the change, three days. Good fortune.

象曰:九五之吉,位正中也。
WB: The good fortune of the nine in the fifth place inheres in the fact that the place is correct and central.

上九:巽在床下,丧其资斧,贞凶。
WB: Nine at the top means: Penetration under the bed. He loses his property and his ax. Perseverance brings misfortune.

象曰:巽在床下,上穷也,丧其资斧,正乎,凶也。
WB: Penetration under the bed. At the top, the end has come. He loses his property and his ax. Is this right? It brings misfortune.

繋辞传:巽德之制也。巽称而隐。巽以行权。

说卦传:风以散之。齐乎巽。巽,东南也。齐也者,言万物之絜齐也。挠万物者莫疾乎风。巽为雞。巽为股。巽,一索而得女,故谓之长女。巽为木,为风,为长女,为绳直,为工,为白,为长,为高,为进退,为不果,为臭。其於人也,为寡发,为廣顙,为多白眼,为近利市三倍。其究为躁卦。

序卦传:旅而无所容,故受之以巽。巽者,入也。入然后而说之。

杂卦传:兑见而巽伏也。

从这里的描述可以清楚地看到以下这些现象。第一,巽为长女,两巽相叠,就是一长女先去,然后一长女随后跟来。

第二,巽为风,过去有飘洋过海之说,所谓飘,就是风,这里的巽为风,也是两风向叠,一阵风飘洋过海了,另一阵风也要随之飘洋过海。

第三巽为木,树木之大在于其根系发达,风可以飘洋过海,而树需要伴随其生长的土地,土地不能随风迁移。对于先漂洋过海的长女,一片森林未动,又一片森林在上海生根。对于随后的飘洋过海的长女,这一片森林在这边生根,那一片森林在中国根深叶茂。

巽之象,足矣。这次卜卦,既有身临其境之感,又有实事求是之悟。周易之精确,真切之至。人之事,在乎天。谋事在人,成事在天。
