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.

占清法二國爭據安南事由。本年三四月啟釁,至今未得和戰之訊,諸新聞紙所揭,皆由街談巷說,未足信憑,余因先筮得清國,得井之大過。

卦德為井養不窮,謂其井之大,而得其養者眾矣。以喻清國之大,物產豐饒,他邦皆願與貿易,受其潤澤。故已汲者去,未汲者來,其貿易之品物無盡,猶井水取之不竭也。

但清國航海之術未精,不能由己自輸其物產,譬如井水不能自出,必待人汲之,而後能澤物。

故今為安南事件,雖欲與法開戰,而終歸不戰者,亦如井水之不能自動,可知清國必不起戰也。

萬一清國決計開戰,則於各國貿易,大有障礙,凡局外中立之國,必為之出而調停,曲意保護,猶是以磚壘井,不使污濁之得入也。「井甃,無咎」,此之謂也。

自井四至革四爻,為七年,今後七年,清國必有改革之變。由清國不善處變也。

諺曰「唇亡齒寒」,我國亦宜嚴整預備也。
