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.

Sequence:
For taking charge of such vessels, no one is more appropriate than the eldest son. This is why Ding [The Caldron, Hexagram 50] is followed by Zhen [Quake].5 Zhen here signifies movement.
THE HEXAGRAMS IN IRREGULAR ORDER
Zhen [Quake] means “a start.”
سنجش:
When Quake [Thunder] comes, people shiver and shake, but then they whoop it up with talk filled with laughter. { W.B: As a concept, Quake means that first one inspires awe, which then results in fear. Thus the text says: “When Quake [Thunder] comes, people shiver and shake,” for this is the appearance of fear. Quake shocks the lazy in order to rid them of their indolence. Thus “when Quake comes people shiver and shake,” but “such fear leads to prosperity.” “But then they whoop it up with talk filled with laughter,” “for later they have constant rules to live by.”}
If Quake can startle at one hundred li, one will not lose control over the ladle [bi] and the fragrant wine [chang]. { W.B: If the shock of the Quake caused by one's awesomeness extends as far as one hundred li,2 one can thereby avoid losing control over the ladle and the fragrant wine. The ladle [bi] is what is used to convey the contents of the Caldron, and chang is the fragrant wine; this means the offering up of sacrificial bounty in the ancestral temple [the prerogative of state power and sovereignty].}
تفسیر کنفوسیوس
When one goes forth, this one may thereby be entrusted with the maintenance of the ancestral temple, that is, by making him the master of sacrifices. { W.B: This clarifies the concept of how one empowers the eldest son. As “one will not lose control over the ladle and the fragrant wine,” when he himself [the sovereign] goes forth, this one [the eldest son] may thereby be entrusted with the maintenance of the ancestral temple.3}

1. This and all subsequent text set off in this manner is commentary by Wang Bi.
2. Lou Yulie notes: "During the Yin [Shang] era, people regarded a hundred li [one-third mile] as the extent of a state or domain [guo]; here this expression is used to describe how one's awesomeness should make the whole state Quake." See Wang Bi ji jiaoshi, 2: 477 n. 6.
3. Both Zhu Xi and Cheng Yi interpret the text here to mean that it is the sovereign himself who goes forth to act as master of sacrifices, serving as a model for the eldest son. It is by such emulation that sovereignty will be preserved generation after generation. See Zhouyi zhezhong, 10:29b–30a.
4. Both trigrams of Zhen (Quake) are Zhen (Thunder, Quake). "Double" (jian) is glossed by Kong Yingda as chong (repeated, double) and yinreng (persistent, continuous). See Zhouyi zhengyi, 5: 24a–24b.
5. Zhen is associated with the Eldest Son. See section ten of Explaining the Trigrams.
6. See the Commentary on the Judgments.
7. Both Cheng Yi and Zhu Xi interpret Second Yin differently. Although Zhu suggests that much of Second Yin is unintelligible, he nevertheless thinks that it represents "yielding, compliance, centrality, and rectitude, enough for this one to preserve himself." Cheng has more to say about it:
Second Yin abides in centrality and achieves rectitude, so this is someone who positions [or "handles"] himself well [shanchu] in Quake. However, it rides atop the strength and hardness of First Yang, the ruler of Quake. Quake is strong and dynamic and so moves upward with great force. Who could ever resist it?…When its coming is as fierce as this, Second Yin's position becomes, of course, quite dangerous. Yi [glossed as "alas" by Wang Bi and Kong Yingda] means duo [reckon]…. Because of the danger brought about by Quake, Second Yin reckons that he cannot defy it, so he has to abandon what he has and then climb up as high as he can go in order to take refuge from it…. What Second Yin values is centrality and rectitude. Although this one, upon estimating his strength, compliantly takes refuge, he rightly preserves his centrality and rectitude, so he does not lose sight of what he should do. He reckons that he is sure to lose [his position, what he has], so takes refuge far away in order to preserve himself. After some time has past, he will recover the constant norm of his existence [chang]. He will obtain this as a matter of course without pursuing it. Pursue means "to go after things." If this one were to go after things, he would fail to protect himself. Thus one here is warned not to pursue things, to take refuge far away, and to preserve himself—to find a place for himself in the grand design [dafang] of Quake…. There are six positions in a hexagram, so seven refers to another beginning, once a situation has reached its end point. When such a moment occurs, change [yi] takes place. So one here should not neglect his own preservation, for, although for a time he might not be able to resist [Quake's coming], when this time passes, the situation will have come to an end. Then this one can recover the constant norm of his existence. This is why the text says: "In seven days he shall be successful as a matter of course."
See Zhouyi zhezhong, 7: 21a–21b. Following this, Cheng's reading of Second Yin would seem to be: "When Quake comes, there is danger, so this one reckons that he should abandon his cowries. He should climb to the ninth hill and not pursue things, for in seven days he shall be successful as a matter of course."
8. Kong Yingda comments: "It is exactly because this one rides atop a strong yang that he is in revolt, and this is the reason why he gets killed." See Zhouyi zhengyi, 5: 25 a.
9. "Alas" translates yi, a rhetorical expression, just as it occurs in Second Yin. However, Cheng Yi again glosses it as duo (reckon) (see note 7 above). "The chance to take successful action" translates you shi. Cheng Yi interprets this as suoyou zhi shi (that which one has to do, i.e., one's proper concern), which he glosses as zhongde (the virtue of centrality). His reading of Fifth Yin would seem to be: "Quake comes, so both to set forth and to come back mean danger. This one should reckon that he must not fail to do that which he has to do"—preserve his "virtue of centrality." See Zhouyi zhezhong, 7: 23 b.
به محض اینکه یک فکر آغاز به حرکت میکند، میتوانید آن را در چهار مرحله بررسی کنید: قبل از ظهور فکر، در آستانهی ظهور، در حین فکر و بعد از فکر؛ این حالتْ هشدار(اوه اوه) نامیده میشود. سپس متوجه میشوید که این فکر حقیقت و پایه و اساسی ندارد؛ این حالت خنده(ها ها) نامیده میشود. ظهور تصادفی پدیدههای مختلفی که میتواند آزاردهنده باشد، مانند عینیت یافتن عادات آزاردهنده، به عنوان تندری که تا صد فرسخی را میترساند شناخته میشود. عدم از دست دادن تکنیکهای مراقبهی متمرکز و بینش به عنوان نیفتادن قاشق و جام شراب شناخته میشود. (چیشو)
در تمام این شش خط، نوعی ترس وجود دارد—ممکن است ترس درونی باشد یا بیرونی، ممکن است به بدبختی یا بیسرزنشی بیانجامد؛ اما هیچیک راه تزکیه-پرورش درونی که به خوشاقبالی میانجامد نیستند. جستجوی ترس در درون بدون ترس از بیرون، و توانایی مراقبت از آغاز و تکمیل پایان، تنها در خط ینگ نخستین یافت میشود. بنابراین، در پرورش درونی مهم است که از درون بترسیم، نه از بیرون. ترس از درون یعنی مراقبت از وضعیت درونی خویش؛ نترسیدن از بیرون یعنی تجلی این امر در عمل. اگر فرد ابتدا محتاط باشد، و سپس تمرین کردن را پرورش دهد، از تأثیرات بیرونی دچار اختلال نخواهد شد. بدین ترتیب، او میتواند بیتأثیر از فراز و نشیبها جوهر(وحدت) را درک کند و زندگی(کثرت) را کامل سازد. (ییمینگ)
و در«صور»(شاخ) دميده شود، آنگاه آسمانيان و زمينيان، مگر كسى كه خداوند خواسته است [همگى] بميرند. سپس دوباره در آن دميده شود. آنگاه آنان برخاسته و مىنگرند. (قرآن - ۶۸ - زمر)
وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۖ ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَىٰ فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنْظُرُونَ
