Standstill [Stagnation] image Heaven and earth do not unite: The image of Standstill. Thus the superior man falls back upon his inner worth in order to escape the difficulties. He does not permit himself to be honored with revenue.

《周易正義》1203-否 象辭

●[《象》曰:天地不交,否。君子以儉德辟難,不可榮以祿。]

[疏]正義曰:

「君子以儉德辟難」者,言君子於此否塞之時,以節儉為德,辟其危難,不可榮華其身,以居祿位。

此若據諸侯公卿言之,辟其群小之難,不可重受官賞;

若據王者言之,謂節儉為德,辟其陰陽己運之難,不可重自榮華而驕逸也。
