| 《·》: | 上古穴居而野處，後世聖人易之以宮室，上棟下宇，以待風雨，蓋取諸大壯。 | | In the highest antiquity they made their homes (in winter) in caves, and (in summer) dwelt in the open country. In subsequent ages, for these the sages substituted houses, with the ridge-beam above and the projecting roof below, as a provision against wind and rain. The idea of this was taken, probably, from Da Zhuang (the thirty-fourth hexagram). | | 《·》: | 使天下荒亂，禮義絕，綱紀廢，強弱相乘，力征相攘，臣主無差，貴賤無序，甲胄生蟣虱，燕雀處帷幄，而兵不休息，而乃始服屬臾之貌，恭儉之禮，則必滅抑而不能興矣。 |

Then the farmer must work all the more vigorously. | | 《·》: | 是故卷甲而趨，日夜不處，倍道兼行，百里而爭利，則擒三將軍，勁者先，疲者後，其法十一而至。 | | Thus, if you order your men to roll up their buff-coats, and make forced marches without halting day or night, covering double the usual distance at a stretch, doing a hundred li in order to wrest an advantage, the leaders of all your three divisions will fall into the hands of the enemy. The stronger men will be in front, the jaded ones will fall behind, and on this plan only one-tenth of your army will reach its destination. | | 《·》: | 巫馬期以星出，以星入，日夜不處，以身親之，而單父亦治。 |
