Decrease Expression In (what is denoted by) Sǔn, if there be sincerity (in him who employs it), there will be great good fortune:--freedom from error; firmness and correctness that can be maintained; and advantage in every movement that shall be made. In what shall this (sincerity in the exercise of Sǔn) be employed? (Even) in sacrifice two baskets of grain, (though there be nothing else), may be presented.

《高島斷易》4101-損 卦辭

卦體上山下澤,

山高也,高者愈高,謂之益上;

澤卑也,卑者愈卑,謂之損下。故

下不可損,[損]在下而[益]在上,謂之[損]。

下本當益,[益]在下而[損]在上,謂之[益]。

損益之理固相反,而損益之用適相濟。

人第知其損也,而不知益即益其損;

人第知益也,而不知損即損其益。

是以《序卦》先損而後益。事先簡而後繁,禮先儉而後奢,物先虛而後盈,故易道先損。

損兌益益,所以為損。

損,有孚,元吉,无咎,可貞,利有攸往。

曷之用?二簋可用享。

[損]通[咸],有心為感,無心為咸。咸,感孚也,故曰:「有孚」,

以其所損者,出於中心之誠,有足以見信於人也。

不然,損主節儉,而儉不中禮,葛履公路,卒來譏刺,咎且難免,奚見「元吉」乎?

唯損而「有孚」,斯人感其誠,自得「元吉」,復何咎而可正?以斯而往,無往不利也。

損儉如此,何用豈為乎?

約之「二簋」,亦可「用享」,不特有孚於人,且可上孚夫神明矣。
