山天大畜Dà Xù · Great Accumulation
艮上 · 乾下Mountain over Heaven
卦辞The Judgement
大畜：利贞；不家食吉；利涉大川。Dà Xù. Favorable to be steadfast and upright. Not eating at home: good fortune. Favorable to cross great rivers.
积累了大量能量、资源、能力，但还没释放——这是厚积薄发的状态。艮山在上属土居东北——天被山包着，多大的气魄都藏在山里。土生金，山把天养在里面，越养越纯。不要急于消耗——养好实力，等待大用。蓄势越久，爆发越猛。
You've stored up great energy, resources, capacity — but not yet released them. the upper trigram Gèn is Mountain, element Earth, in the northeast — Heaven wrapped inside the mountain, all that grandeur held within the hills. Earth generates Metal: the mountain nurtures Heaven inside itself, and the longer it nurtures, the purer it grows. This is the state of gathering deep before the surge. Don't rush to spend it — nurture your strength and wait for the great use. The longer the charge builds, the more powerful the release.
大象The Image
《象》曰：天在山中，大畜；君子以多识前言往行，以畜其德。Heaven held within the mountain: the image of Great Restraint. The noble one, accordingly, learns much of the words and deeds of the past, and so stores up his virtue.
六爻The Six Lines
初九，有厉，利已。There is danger. Favorable to halt.
感受到了潜在的危险，及时停下脚步——，这种敏锐很可贵。不冒险，就避开了灾祸。
You sense the latent danger and stop in time — that alertness is precious. By not taking the risk, you sidestep the disaster.
九二，舆说。The axle bracket comes off the cart.
事情卡住了，但你没急着推动——，这种“暂停”是聪明的。不勉强自己，等条件具备了再动。
Things have stalled, but you didn't force them forward — that pause is wise. Don't push yourself; wait until the conditions are ready, then move.
九三，良马逐，利艰贞；曰闲舆卫，利有攸往。Fine horses give chase. Favorable to be steadfast through hardship. Daily practice the chariot and its defense. Favorable to have somewhere to go.
和有实力的人一起追逐目标——，但条件艰难，需要小心。专门做相关训练（武装练习），保持警觉。
Chasing a goal alongside someone of real strength — but the conditions are hard and call for care. Keep up the relevant training (drilling the armor), stay alert.
六四，童牛之牿，元吉。A board on a young bull's horns. Sublime good fortune.
在事情还小的时候就把规矩立起来（给小牛上鼻栓）——六四阴爻进入艮山——山脚最稳，在这里立栅栏，事半功倍，预防胜于治疗。早期的克制能避免后期的失控。
Set the rules while the matter is still small (the guard on the calf's horns) — the fourth line, yin, enters Gèn's Mountain — the mountain's foot is steadiest; build the fence here and you do twice the work with half the effort — prevention beats cure. Early restraint heads off later loss of control.
六五，豮豕之牙，吉。The tusks of a gelded boar. Good fortune.
把猛兽的牙齿拔掉（豶豕之牙）——艮土居中——土能掩埋危险，从根上解除威胁，彻底解除危险源。不是回避问题，是从根本上解决问题。
Pull the beast's tusks (geld the boar) — Gèn's Earth centered — earth can bury the danger, removing the threat at its source — remove the source of danger at the root. Not avoiding the problem, but solving it from the foundation.
上九，何天之衢，亨。How open is the thoroughfare of Heaven! Prosperous and smooth.
通往天的大道——艮山到极处——山顶通天，天在山外等着，积蓄够了，路自然开，一切阻碍都没了，可以畅通无阻地施展抱负。这是积累到位后的爆发时刻。
The high road to Heaven — Gèn's Mountain at its extreme — the summit opens onto Heaven, Heaven waiting beyond the peak; the store is full, and the road opens of itself — every obstacle gone, the way wide open to act out your aims. This is the surge after the build-up is complete.
