Difficulty at the Beginning 19 image Although 'there is a difficulty in advancing,' the mind (of the subject of the line) is set on doing what is correct. While noble, he humbles himself to the mean, and grandly gains the people.

《周易正義》0305-屯初九 象辭

●[《象》曰:雖「磐桓」,志行正也。]

不可以進,故「磐桓」也。非為宴安棄成務也,故「雖磐桓,志行正也」。

[疏]「《象》曰」至「志行正也」。

○正義曰:言初九雖磐桓不進,非苟求宴安,志欲以靜息亂,故居處貞也。非是苟貪逸樂,唯志行守正也。

○注「非為宴安棄成務」。

○正義曰:

「非為宴安棄成務」者,言巳止為前進有難,故磐桓且住,非是苟求宴安,棄此所成之務而不為也。言身雖住,但欲以靜息亂也。

●[以貴下賤,大得民也。陽貴而陰賤也。]

[疏]正義曰:

貴謂陽也,賤謂陰也。言初九之陽在三陰之下,是「以貴下賤」。

屯難之世,民思其主之時,既能「以貴下賤」,所以大得民心也。
