The Well 64 象曰:'A well the lining of which is well laid. There will be no error:'--the well has been put in good repair.
彖曰:The Well. The town may be changed, But the well cannot be changed. It neither decreases nor increases. They come and go and draw from the well. If one gets down almost to the water And the rope does not go all the way, Or the jug breaks, it brings misfortune.

橫濱港町接近居留地,有魚鳥菜獸市場,此市場,依各國開港條約所設,其業最為繁盛。一日有友來,曰:「近來橫濱市場上,商人大起爭論,遂至休業,有人欲出而調停,未得處理之方,特請一占。」筮得井之大過。

就市中商業而論,彼此俱有關係,譬如汲井之用繘瓶也。有井而無繘瓶,則井水將何從而汲?有繘瓶而無井,則繘瓶亦終歸無用。

同在此市場貿易,知益則俱益,害則俱害,兩相鬥必致兩敗也。

今占得三爻,曰「井甃,無咎」,「甃」者,治也,因井之敗壞而重修之也。

今兩家商業,因此一爭,未免敗壞,出而修之者,是在四也。蓋四即為居中調停之人,得四調停,而後五之「寒泉」,可以復食。四與五相隔一爻,一爻當一月,則來月必可和解,重復舊業矣。
