76.坎有險,求小得。——出自《坎·九二爻》(1 / 1)

76.坎有險,求小得。——出自《坎·九二爻》

今譯:在重重險難中,依然保持剛直中正,那麼仍然會取得一定的成果。

衍言:攻堅莫畏難,隻要意誌強,一定能順暢。

《周易》小詞典:處重險之中,未能自出,故為有險之象。然以陽爻處二位,剛而得中,故有求而小得之象。

In all the peril of the defile, he will, however, get a little of the deliverance that he seeks.——- from The Second Line, Undivided, Kan

Modern interpretation: Bristled with difficulties, one could still make some achievements as he keeps firm and principled.

Moral: Don’t be afraid of difficulties when tackling the most difficult task. Anindomitable spirit helps a smooth advance for certain.

Glossary: As a character, Kan means “a pit”, or “a perilous cavity or defile”. So the hexagram is symbolic of danger, involved in which, a man is unable to get out. But as the second line, undivided, is a strong line in the center, it becomes possible for him to get a little that he seeks.
