Break-through (Resoluteness) Expression Guài requires (in him who would fulfil its meaning) the exhibition (of the culprit's guilt) in the royal court, and a sincere and earnest appeal (for sympathy and support), with a consciousness of the peril (involved in cutting off the criminal). He should (also) make announcement in his own city, and show that it will not be well to have recourse at once to arms. (In this way) there will be advantage in whatever he shall go forward to.

《周易正義》4301-夬 卦辭

●[乾下兌上。]

●[夬:揚於王庭,孚號有厲。告自邑,不利即戎。利有攸往。]

夬與剝反者也。

剝以柔變剛,至於剛幾盡。

夬以剛決柔,如剝之消剛。

剛隕則君子道消,柔消則小人道隕。

君子道消,則剛正之德不可得直道而用,刑罰之威不可得坦然而行。

「揚於王庭」,其道公也。

[疏]「夬揚於王庭」至「利有攸往」。

○正義曰:

夬,決也。此陰消陽息之卦也。陽長至五,五陽共決一陰,故名為「夬」也。

「揚於王庭」者,明行決斷之法,夬以剛決柔,施之於人,則是君子決小人也。

王庭是百官所在之處,以君子決小人,故可以顯然發揚決斷之事於王者之庭,示公正而無私隱也,故曰「揚於王庭」也。

「孚號有厲」者,號,號令也。行決之法,先須號令。

夬以剛決柔,則是用明信之法而宣其號令,如此即柔邪者危,故曰「孚號有厲」也。

以剛制斷,行令於邑可也。

若用剛即戎,尚力取勝,為物所疾,以此用師,必有不利,故曰「告自邑,不利即戎」。

雖「不利即戎」,然剛德不長,則柔邪不消。

故陽爻宜有所往,夬道乃成,故曰「利有攸往」也。
