درباره این کتاب
عنوان اصلی:
The Classic of Changes: A New Translation of the I Ching as Interpreted by Wang Bi(226–249 CE)
کلاسیک تغییرات: ترجمهای تازه از ای جینگ با تفسیر وانگ بی
وانگ بی (۲۲۶–۲۴۹ م.) با وجود عمر کوتاه خود (حدود ۲۳-۲۴ سال)، یکی از اثرگذارترین متفکران تاریخ چین به شمار میآید. او از برجستهترین نمایندگان جریان فکری شوانشوئه («حکمت رازآمیز» یا «فلسفهی ژرف») بود؛ جریانی که در پی بازخوانی میراث کنفوسیوسی و دائویی در قالبی فلسفی و متافیزیکی برآمد. شرحهای او بر دائو ده جینگ و ای جینگ از تأثیرگذارترین آثار تفسیری در سراسر سنت فکری چین به شمار میروند و برای نزدیک به هزار سال تنها مرجع معتبر مطالعهی این دو متن بودهاند.
در مرکز اندیشهی وانگ بی مفهوم وو (無، نیستی، بیتعینی یا غیب مطلق) قرار دارد؛ اصلی که از نظر او سرچشمه و بنیاد همهی پدیدههای متعین است. او استدلال میکند که کثرت موجودات و دگرگونیهای جهان تنها بر پایهی امری نامتعین و فراتر از صورتها (بسیط محض، صمد، احد، برهمن) امکان ظهور مییابند. از این رو، ششخطیها و نمادهای ای جینگ در نظر او صرفاً ابزار پیشگویی نیستند، بلکه تجلیات گوناگون یک اصل بنیادین و یگانهاند که در پس همهی تحولات جهان حضور دارد.
تفسیر وانگ بی نقطهی عطفی در تاریخ ای جینگ به شمار میرود، زیرا پس از سدهها توجه را از کاربردهای پیشگویانهی کتاب به سوی معانی حقیقی و ساختار فلسفی و متافیزیکی آن معطوف کرد. نفوذ این خوانش چنان گسترده بود که نهتنها بر سنتهای بعدی کنفوسیوسی و دائویی، بلکه بر شکلگیری زبان فلسفی بودیسم در چین نیز تأثیر عمیقی گذاشت. از این رو، شرح او بر ای جینگ را میتوان یکی از مهمترین و ماندگارترین تفسیرهای فلسفی این اثر در سراسر تاریخ شرق آسیا دانست.

تفسیر کنفوسیوس
When the Tongren hexagram statement says that “it is by extending Fellowship even to the fields that one prevails” and “thus it is fitting to cross the great river,” it refers to what Qian accomplishes. { W.B: This explains how “it is by extending Fellowship even to the fields that one prevails” and “it is fitting to cross the great river” can take place. These are things that Qian brings about and not what Second Yin can accomplish. Thus the text makes it a special point to say: “When the Tongren hexagram statement says….”3}
Exercising strength through the practice of civility and enlightenment, they [Second Yin and Fifth Yang] each respond to the other with their adherence to the Mean and their uprightness: such is the rectitude of the noble man. { W.B: The exercise of strength here should not be done through military force but through the use of civility and enlightenment The two respond to each other not out of evil but out of adherence to the Mean and rectitude, thus “such is the rectitude of the noble man.” This is why the text says: “It is…fitting for the noble man to practice constancy.”}
Only the noble man would be able to identify with the aspirations of all the people in the world. { W.B: The noble man takes civility and enlightenment as his virtues.}
تصویر:
In the same way, the noble man associates with his own kind and makes clear distinctions among things. { W.B: The noble man and the petty man each in his own way can only be what his fellows are.}

[Image Commentary]
“If one practices Fellowship in the countryside,” his ambition will never be achieved. { W.B: Whenever one finds himself located at a time governed by Tongren [Fellowship] and finds that things do not go smoothly, it means that it is necessary to use military force, for with a failure to get things to go smoothly on a grand scale, each one will form cliques on the basis of selfish interests and pursue his own personal advantage through them. Although the man of Chu lost his bow, he could not “lose” his Chu.10 The more extreme one loves his own state, the more this will bring about calamity for others, and this happens because people do not pursue Fellowship on a grand enough scale. The hard and strong lines [of Tongren] all go so far as to involve the use of military force.11}
1. Kong Yingda comments:
Fields indicate broad and distant places. The text uses the word fields as a metaphor for this. It means that, in entering into congenial fellowship with people, one must do so far and wide and leave no one out and, in so applying one’s heart and mind, one must be free of partiality…. Here one has so joined his heart and mind to his fellows that he has sufficient means to cross over troubles, and this is why the text says “it is fitting to cross the great river.”
See Zhouyi zhengyi, 2: 25b.
2. This and all subsequent text set off in this manner is commentary by Wang Bi. Wang remarks elsewhere: “The rare is what the many value; the one that is unique is the one the multitudes make their chief. If one hexagram has five positive lines and one negative, then we have the negative line be the master. If it is a matter of five negative lines and one positive line, then we have the positive line be the master.” See section one of the General Remarks. Second Yin is also master or ruler of the Tongren hexagram because it “represents the hexagram’s meaning,” but Fifth Yang is also its ruler by virtue of its “noble position.” See Hexagram 6, Song (Contention), note 2.
3. “When the Tongren hexagram statement says” translates Tongren yue. Both Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi think these three characters are a later interpolation in the text. See Zhouyi zhezhongy 9: 22b.
4. The trigram Li (Cohesion) is also identified with Fire and Brightness; see sections three, five, and eleven of Explaining the Trigrams.
5. Kong Yingda comments: “The Heaven trigram is on top, and fire [the Li trigram] also burns upward as it strives to make its own nature the same.” See Zhouyi zhengyi, 2: 26b.
6. See section eight of the Commentary on the Appended Phrases, Part One.
7. “Great community” translates datong, a term common to both the Confucian and the Daoist traditions. In Confucian thought, datong signifies that age of great peace and social harmony that supposedly existed at the time of the ancient sage kings, as, for instance, it occurs in the Zhuangzi; see the Liyun (Evolution of rites), section nine of the Liji (Book of rites), 22: 1a–12b. In Daoist thought, datong might better be translated as “great unity,” for the “community” involved is not restricted to human society but encompasses all of nature; see the Zhuangzi, 28/11/65.
8. “Baseness” translates lin; this reading follows both the commentary of Wang Bi and the subcommentary of Kong Yingda; see Zhouyi zhengyi, 2: 27a, and Lou Yulie’s remarks in Wang Bi ji jiaoshi, 1: 287, n. 9. Lin is glossed in these commentaries as linse, bilin, etc., all of which suggest narrowness, bias, and miserliness. Cheng Yi instead glosses lin as kelin, “regrettable,” and Zhu Xi seems to interpret it as “regret” (as in huilin, “remorse and regret”); see Zhouyi zhezhong, 2: 32a and 11: 30b.
9. Kong Yingda comments: “It is because one at Fifth Yang uses the Dao that has him practice a rectitude tempered by the Mean and a perseverance hardened by strength that others do not yet follow him. Thus the text says: ‘First there is howling and wailing.’ ” See Zhouyi zhengyi, 2: 28a.
10. Kong Yingda cites the Haosheng (It is preferable to let people live) section of the Kongzi jiayu (The school sayings of Confucius) (a work that the annotator, Wang Su [195–256], is long thought to have forged but that may contain authentic material from the early Confucian tradition): “King Zhao of Chu when on an outing lost his ‘Crow Caw’ bow. His attendants requested that they be allowed to look for it, but the king said: ‘A man of Chu lost a bow but someone in Chu will find it, so why should we also look for it?’ When Confucius heard this, he said: ‘What a pity his ambition is not greater. He did not say that a man lost it and a man would find it—why does it have to involve Chu?’ “This same anecdote, worded slightly differently, is contained in the Shuoyuan (Garden of sayings), compiled by Liu Xiang (77–6 B.C.); see Lou, Wang Bi ji jiaoshi, 1: 289 n. 25, for a comparison of the two texts.
11. The “hard and strong lines” are Third, Fourth, and Fifth Yang but do not include First Yang and Top Yang. Kong Yingda notes that Wang’s commentary here is not limited to a consideration of Top Yang and its image but is actually a general analysis of the Tongren hexagram as a whole. See Zhouyi zhengyi, 2: 28b.
توضیح کنفسیوس در مورد سنجش توضیح میدهد که خط یین در جای مناسب خود قرار دارد و با ینگ آسمان هماهنگ است. این خط یین در مرکز سهخطی پایین نشان میدهد که فرد در این موقعیت از اخلاقیات (فضایل اخلاقی) بالایی برخوردار است و شخصیتی مهربان، حقیقی، فروتن و متواضع دارد و مایل به جستجوی هماهنگی با دیگران است. این خط به خط ینگ در جایگاه پنجم که آن نیز مرکزی و درست است، پاسخ میدهد. این دو خط نماد یک وضعیت ایدهآل هستند که در این زمان فرخنده است، شرایط مساعد است، و مردم در هماهنگی هستند. این وضعیت ایدهآل نتیجهی شرایطی است که در آن بر انسداد(شش خطی ۱۲) غلبه شده است.
