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.

Sequence:
Only after there were Heaven and Earth were there the myriad things. Only after there were the myriad things were there male and female. Only after there were male and female were there husband and wife. Only after there were husband and wife were there father and child. Only after there were father and child were there sovereign and minister. Only after there were sovereign and minister were there superiors and subordinates. Only after there were superiors and subordinates did propriety and righteousness have a medium in which to operate.
THE HEXAGRAMS IN IRREGULAR ORDER
Xian [Reciprocity] means “things will go quickly.”

تفسیر کنفوسیوس
The one is passive, and the other joyous. { W.B: And this is how “it is fitting to practice constancy here.”}
The male takes a place below the female, { W.B: So “to marry a woman means good fortune.”}
and this is how “prevalence is had,” how “it is fitting to practice constancy,” and how “to marry a woman means good fortune.” It is by the mutual stimulation of Heaven and Earth that the myriad things are created. { W.B: With the joining together of the two kinds of material force, creation takes place.}
It is by the sage stimulating the hearts and minds of men that the entire world finds peace. If we observe how things are stimulated, the innate tendencies [qing] of Heaven and Earth and all the myriad things can be seen. { W.B: The innate tendencies of Heaven and Earth and the myriad things are seen in how they are stimulated. Whenever stimulation takes place, it is a realization of the Dao of Reciprocity, but if stimulation cannot take place, this means that the things involved do not belong to the same category of existence. Thus the text cites marrying a woman to illustrate the principle of common categories. When beings of the same category of existence do not stimulate and respond to each other, in each such instance it is because some overreaching of station occurs. Thus, although a woman is a creature who should respond to a man, it is necessary for the man to take a place beneath her, for only then will marriage to her result in good fortune.}

When “Reciprocity is in the big toe,” the inclination is directed to the outside. { W.B: Fourth Yang [with which First Yin is in resonance] belongs to the outer [upper] trigram.}

[Image Commentary]
When “Reciprocity is in the jowls, cheeks, and tongue,” it produces the speech of an overflowing mouth. { W.B: The jowls, cheeks, and tongue are the instruments by which speech is made. “When ‘Reciprocity is in the jowls, cheeks, and tongue,’ it produces the speech of an overflowing mouth.” As even the “you pace back and forth in consternation” [of Fourth Yang] indicates that no magnificence or greatness has been achieved, so we understand here that things are so much more insubstantial at this stage of the “overflowing mouth.”}
1. See section ten of Explaining the Trigrams.
2. This and all subsequent text set off in this manner is commentary by Wang Bi.
3. Gen (Mountain, Restraint) is the lower trigram, and Dui (Lake, Joy) is the upper trigram. Kong Yingda comments: “The nature of the lake is such that it lets water flow down from it, so it can provide nourishing moisture to what is below. The substance of the Mountain is such that it accepts things from above, so it can receive this nourishing moisture.” See Zhouyi zhengyi, 4: 2a.
4. Cf. Laozi, section 61, p. 160: “A small state can take over a big state by placing itself under a big state.” Part of Wang Bi’s commentary here is worth quoting: “It is only by cultivating humility that one will always get what he wants.”
5. “Hard going” translates lin. See Hexagram 3, Zhun (Birth Throes), note 6. However, Cheng Yi glosses lin here as xiulin (humiliating), which suggests that Cheng would read the last part of Third Yang differently: “So when he sets out, it will be humiliating.” See Zhouyi zhezhong, 5: 3b.
6. Cf. Zhuangzi, 32/12/74: “The man of virtue rests without thought [wusi] and acts without calculation.”
7. Kong Yingda’s commentary helps to make sense of Wang’s pithy remarks:
The upper back is above the heart and below the mouth. Fourth Yang already occupies the center of the body and is where the heart or spirit is stimulated. Fifth Yang has advanced to a point above Fourth Yang, thus its stimulation takes place in the upper back. With the upper back, one has gone beyond the heart, and this is why moving forward [i.e., moving further away from the heart] cannot involve great stimulation [as it is the heart that is the seat of greatest stimulation]. Due to the fact that Fifth Yang is located above the heart, to move backward [i.e., back toward the heart] would not be without purpose [as the xin (heart/mind) is also the seat of the will, and one is moving closer to it], but such purpose would be shallow or trivial.
See Zhouyi zhengyi, 4: 3b.
However, Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi read Fifth Yang quite differently. Cheng’s commentary is the more detailed:
Fifth Yang occupies the exalted position [it is the ruler of the hexagram], so it ought to stimulate the whole world with its perfect sincerity. However, it is in resonance with Second Yin and is contiguous with Top Yin. If it forms a relationship with the former and finds delight in the latter, it would be guilty of selfish partiality and shallow narrowness, which is not at all the Dao of a true sovereign of men, for how could such a one ever stimulate the whole world? Mei is the flesh of the back, something that is opposed to the heart and something that does not see things. This means both that it can oppose the selfish inclinations of the heart and that stimulation for it does not involve things that it might see and take delight in. Thus one may here obtain the rectitude with which the true sovereign of men stimulates the whole world and in so doing avoid regret.
See Zhouyi zhezhong, 5: 6b.
