97.損上益下，民說無疆。自上下下，其道大光。——出自《益·彖》
今譯：富裕階層把利益分一部分給貧困者，貧困大眾就會感到無限喜悅，隻要統治者關注下層，他的前途就光明寬廣。
衍言：財富的過度集中是社會震蕩之源。
《周易》小詞典：《益》，卦名。益卦反映了增加、長進、有利等自然現象，也體現了政治上施惠於民的精神。
When the upper is diminished, and the lower added to, the satisfaction of the people is without limit. What descends from above reaches to all below. So great and brilliant is the course of its operation.——- from The Tuan, Yi
Modern interpretation: Poor people would be immensely satisfied if the rich shared with the former just a part of their economic profit. As for a ruler, he would enjoy a bright future as he cared the lower rung of the social ladder.
Moral: Wealth, if over-concentrated, would stir up social upheaval.
Glossary: With the opposite meaning of Sun, Yi denotes addition or increasing. Presented in this hexagram are such natural phenomena as growth, progress and advantages. It also shows the political ideal of bestowing favors on people.
