The Receptive Hexagram 象曰:The earth's condition is receptive devotion.Thus the superior man who has breadth of character Carries the outer world.
彖曰:The Receptive brings about sublime success, Furthering through the perseverance of a mare. If the superior man undertakes something and tries to lead, He goes astray; But if he follows, he finds guidance. It is favorable to find friends in the west and south, To forego friends in the east and north. Quiet perseverance brings good fortune.

《文言》坤卦

《文言》曰:

坤至柔而動也剛,至靜而德方。後得主而有常,含萬物而化光。「坤」道其順乎?承天而時行!

積善之家,必有餘慶。積不善之家,必有餘殃。臣弑其君,子弑其父,非一朝一夕之故,其所由來者漸矣,由辯之不早辯也。《易》曰:「履霜堅冰至」,蓋言順也。

直其正也,方其義也。君子敬以直內,義以方外,敬義立而德不孤。「直方大,不習無不利」,則不疑其所行也。

陰雖有美,含之以從王事,弗敢成也。地道也,妻道也,臣道也。地道無成,而代有終也。

天地變化,草木蕃,天地閉,賢人隱。《易》曰「括囊無咎無譽」,蓋言謹也。

君子黃中通理,正位居體,美在其中,而暢於四支,發於事業,美之至也。

陰疑於陽必戰。為其嫌於無陽也,故稱「龍」焉。猶未離其類也,故稱「血」焉。夫玄黃者天地之雜也,天玄而地黃。
