《明象》[View] [Edit] [History]

1 夫象者,出意者也。言者,明象者也。尽意莫若象,尽象莫若言。言生于象,故可寻言以观象;象生于意,故可寻象以观意。意以象尽,象以言著。故言者所以明象,得象而忘言;象者,所以存意,得意而忘象。犹蹄者所以在兔,得兔而忘蹄;筌者所以在鱼,得鱼而忘筌也。然则,言者,象之蹄也;象者,意之筌也。是故,存言者,非得象者也;存象者,非得意者也。象生于意而存象焉,则所存者乃非其象也;言生于象而存言焉,则所存者乃非其言也。然则,忘象者,乃得意者也;忘言者,乃得象者也。得意在忘象,得象在忘言。故立象以尽意,而象可忘也;重画以尽情,而画可忘也。
2 是故触类可为其象,合义可为其徵。义苟在健,何必马乎?类苟在顺,何必牛乎?爻苟合顺,何必坤乃为牛?义苟应健,何必乾乃为马?而或者定马于乾,案文责卦,有马无乾,则伪说滋漫,难可纪矣。互体不足,遂及卦变;变又不足,推致五行。一失其原,巧愈弥甚。从复或值,而义无所取。盖存象忘意之由也。忘象以求其意,义斯见矣。
