The Well Expression (Looking at) Jǐng, (we think of) how (the site of) a town may be changed, while (the fashion of) its wells undergoes no change. (The water of a well) never disappears and never receives (any great) increase, and those who come and those who go can draw and enjoy the benefit. If (the drawing) have nearly been accomplished, but, before the rope has quite reached the water, the bucket is broken, this is evil.

《高島斷易》4801-井 卦辭

卦體[坎]上[巽]下,[巽]為風,亦為木,風善入,木善出,

[巽]在[坎]下,是入水又能出水,有桔暭之象焉。

[坎]為水,亦為穴,穴地出水,是為[井]也。

卦自[困]來,果則澤涸,故「無水」,反之則有水。

[坎]又為平,水之平莫如[井],此卦之所以名[井]也。

井,改邑不改井,无喪无得,往來井井。汔至亦未繘井,羸其瓶,凶。

[井],通也,物所通用也。

古者建設都邑,必鑿井以養民,即或邑有改遷,而井之制不改。

人得井以為養,而井不因之見損,故「無喪」。

井所以養人,而井不以此見功,故「無得」。

但見往者往、來者來,人庂就養於井者,亦未嘗歸功於井也。

「繘」,所以引而下,「瓶」,所以盛而上,

至若繘未下,而瓶已羸,則井為虛設,而繘亦為虛懸矣,故曰「凶」。
