从卦象爻位看《周易》阴柔阳刚的两仪分合

On the Repelling and Attraction of Yin and Yang in the Zhouyi by the Images of the Trigrams the Positions of the Lines

《周易》古经虽没有出现阴阳、刚柔概念,但已经以奇偶为依据,将二爻、八卦设置为属性阴柔和阳刚的两仪二分结构,重卦而成的六十四卦及每卦中的六爻因此形成上下卦之间、各爻之间种种阴阳刚柔关系。由《周易》对其分合处位的态度以及与之相应的吉凶判定可见其对于阴阳交合、刚柔持衡的钟爱和追求。

Though the Ancient Text of the Zhouyi do not possess concepts of Yin and Yang, weakness and firmness, it had, basing on evenness and oddness, set the broken and unbroken lines as well as trigrams into two modes of Yin and Yang. In this way, the 64 hexagrams resulted from the overlapping of the eight trigrams and six lines in each hexagram form various relationships of Yin and Yang, weakness and firmness between lower and upper trigrams and the six lines. By the repelling and attraction and the consequently judgment of advantage or disadvantage, we can see the pursuit and cherishing of attraction between Yin and Yang as well as equilibrium between weakness and firmness in the Zhouyi.
