The Arousing (Shock, Thunder) Expression Zhèn gives the intimation of ease and development. When (the time of) movement (which it indicates) comes, (the subject of The Judgment) will be found looking out with apprehension, and yet smiling and talking cheerfully. When the movement (like a crash of thunder) terrifies all within a hundred lî, he will be (like the sincere worshipper) who is not (startled into) letting go his ladle and (cup of) sacrificial spirits.

《高島斷易》5101-震 卦辭

震字從雨,辰聲,《說卦》曰:「動也。」《雜卦》曰:「起也。」

卦體二偶為[坤],一奇為[乾],[坤]陰在上,[乾]陽在下,

陽伏而不能出,陰迫而不能蒸,於是乎震,是所謂「雷出地奮」也,

故其卦曰:「震為雷。」

震,亨。震來虩虩,笑言啞啞,震驚百里,不喪匕鬯。

《說卦》曰:「萬物出乎震,震東方也。」按《說文》:「東,動也。」

陽氣動物,於時為春,春為四時之始,是即乾元之「始而亨者也」,故曰[震]。

「虩虩」,恐懼也;「啞啞」,和樂也。

[震]為笑,亦為言,謂[震]之發而為怒,則可懼,震之發而為嘉,則可樂,

故曰:「震來虩虩,笑言啞啞。」

[震]為諸候,諸侯受地百里,[震]又為驚懼,故曰:「震驚百里」。

[震]為鬯,鬯、祭器。

「匕」,按《詩》「有求棘匕」注:「以棘為匕,所以載鼎肉,升諸俎也。」

謂當承祭之時,心存誠敬,雖有迅雷驟作,不能奪其守,故曰:「不喪匕鬯。」
