74.水流而不盈，行險而不失其信。——出自《坎·彖》
今譯：水晝夜流向低處，永遠不變。人應該像流水一般，即使在險難之中，也不丟失誠信。
衍言：人在一時一事表現誠信並不難，難的是一輩子做到誠信。
《周易》小詞典：《坎》，卦名。坎，就是陷。《坎》卦坎上坎下，故稱習坎。習坎，形容坑窪相聯，象征途有重重險難。
Water flows on without accumulating its volume so as to overflow; it pursues its way through a dangerous defile without losing its true nature.——- from The Tuan, Kan
Modern interpretation: Water flows downwards to a lower place day and night without change, learning from which human beings should keep sincere and honest even in danger and difficulty.
Moral: It is not so difficult to be sincere and modest on a particular matter or for a particular time. But it is really hard to remain so a lifetime.
Glossary: In the name of Kan, we see the symbol of “the perilous pit”. The hexagram is also called Xi Kan for the trigram Kan is repeated here, which shows us one defile succeeding another.
