  𠳒《彖》浪：奇台𱝮元道乾，𨷈物洳𫜵買，卞糁道𡗶。𩄲𠫾湄𫴋，類物准形。奇𱏮𨍦𫏾，𦒹嵬𥙩時麻𢧚，隊時𮪍𦒹𧍰黙治役𡗶。道乾変化，調正性命，纏合氣奇和，卞羅德利貞。畧𦋦每物，𨷈渃調安。
  Lời Thoán rằng: Cả thay đức Nguyên đạo Càn (Kiền), muôn vật nhờ làm mới, bèn tóm đạo trời. Mây đi mưa xuống, loại vật chốn hình. Cả sáng sau trước, sáu ngôi lấy thời mà nên, đội thời cưỡi sáu rồng mặc trị việc trời. Đạo Càn (Kiền) biến hóa, đều chính tính mệnh, gìn hợp khí cả hòa, bèn là đức Lợi Trinh. Trước ra mọi vật, muôn nước đều yên.
  The commentary of Tuan says: Great indeed is the originating power of the way of Qian. All things receive from it their beginning, and therefore it governs the way of Heaven. Clouds move and rain falls, and the various creatures take on their forms. Its brilliance extends from the beginning to end. The six positions are established according to their proper times, and by riding the six dragons in each season, one directs the affairs of Heaven. The way of Qian transforms, each thing correctly fulfills its nature and destiny. It preserves and unites the great harmony, and attains Li and Zhen. It stands in front of all things, and the myriad states are all peaceful.
