史谓汤为天乙厥后有帝祖乙亦贤王也后又有帝乙多士曰自成汤至于帝乙罔不明徳恤祀称帝乙者未知谁是以爻义观之帝乙制王姬下嫁之礼法者也自古帝女虽皆下嫁至帝乙然后制为礼法使降其尊贵以顺从其夫也六五以阴柔居君位下应于九二刚明之贤五能任其贤臣而顺从之如帝乙之归妹然降其尊而顺从于阳则以之受祉且元吉也元吉大吉而尽善者也谓成治泰之功也
象曰以祉元吉中以行愿也 所以能获祉福且元吉者由其以中道合而行其志愿也有中徳所以能任刚中之贤所听从者皆其志愿也非其所欲能从之乎
上六城复于隍勿用师自邑告命贞吝 掘隍土积累以成城如治道积累以成泰及泰之终将反于否如城土颓圮复反于隍也上泰之终六以小人处之行将否矣勿用师君之所以能用其众者上下之情通而心从也今泰之将终失泰之道上下之情不通矣民心离散不从其上岂可用也用之则乱众既不可用方自其亲近而告命之虽使所告命者得其正亦可羞吝邑所居谓亲近大率告命必自近始凡贞凶贞吝有二义有贞固守此则凶吝者有虽得正亦凶吝者此不云贞凶而云贞吝者将否而方告命为可羞吝否不由于告命也
城复于隍矣虽其命之乱不可止也 【坤下干上】 否序卦泰者通也物不可以终通故受之以否夫物理往来通泰之极则必否否所以次泰也为卦天上地下天地相交阴阳和畅则为泰天处上地处下是天地隔绝不相交通所以为否也
否之匪人 天地交而万物生于中然后三才备人为最灵故为万物之首凡生天地之中者皆人道也天地不交则不生万物是无人道故曰匪人谓非人道也消长阖辟相因而不息泰极则复否终则倾无常而不变之理人道岂能无也既否则泰矣
