摘要
《周易》之中 ,有《损》《益》两卦 ,在古代备受推崇。在古人看来 ,《损》《益》两卦充分体现了“变通趋时”、“与时偕行”的观念 ,是对《周易》“时”观的高度概括 ;它体现了“损上益下”、“以上下下”的为君之道 ,以及君子的全身之道 ,凝结着儒家改过迁善、提高精神境界的价值追求 ;更为突出的是 ,它还集中体现了天地之道和《周易》学说的基本特征 ,《损》《益》之道也就是《易传》所说的“一阴一阳之谓道” ,由此 ,“足以观天地之变” ,“足以观得失”。正因为如此 ,古人青睐《损》《益》两卦 ,高扬《损》《益》之道 ,也就不足为奇了。
The two symbols in the Book of Changes (the Book), i.e. Sun (approx. decrease, restrain or abase) and Yi (increase, enhance or benefit), were greatly extolled in the antiquity. In the ancients' eyes, they could gracefully embody the ideology of ”changes to the times” and ”advance with the time”, a highly generalized conception of ”time” in the Book. They suggest the way to which a sovereign adheres what ”restrains the upper but benefits the lower” or ”be modest to the lower”, and the way a man of honor follows to stay away from damage and danger. They also instantiate Confucianism for the value pursuit of perfecting oneself for virtue to elevate the spiritual height. Moreover, they typically speak for the principle of how the universe operates and the essentiality of the theory articulated in the Book. Therefore, the principle of Sun and Yi, as is basically presented by that ”one Yin and one Yang constitute the Tao” in the Commentaries of the Book, could be abided by to ”look into the changes of the universe” and ”reflect on gain and loss”. That is the key reason why the two symbols were by the ancients so highly praised.
