Holding Together [Union] 95 象曰:'The good fortune belonging to the most illustrious instance of seeking union and attachment' appears in the correct and central position (of the fifth line, undivided). (The king's) neglecting (the animals) confronting him (and then fleeing), and (only) taking those who present themselves as it were obediently, is seen in his allowing the escape of those in front of him.' 'That the people of his towns do not warn one another (to prevent such escape),' shows how he, in his high eminence, has made them pursue the due course.
彖曰:Holding Together brings good fortune. Inquire of the oracle once again whether you possess sublimity, constancy, and perseverance; Then there is no blame. Those who are uncertain gradually join. Whoever comes too late meets with misfortune.

明治二十四年(1891)三月十四日,眾議院議長中島信行、前長崎縣知事日下義雄兩氏來訪,談及橫濱《每日新聞》所議美國伯斯頓府新聞所載美國獵船一事,言所雇美國人四人,與日本人二十四人,在亞細亞俄領海岸,為俄國人所補,充當苦役,數年內死幾人未明,唯有美國兩名,最耐苦役,已得無事歸國。

俄國者目下宇內強國也,美為民主之國,亦稱強大,本邦介立兩國之間,政府不知將如何處置?請占之。筮得比之坤。

爻辭曰:「九五:顯比。王用三驅,失前禽,邑人不誡,吉。」

斷曰:

此卦地上有水之象,水與土兩相比輔,故曰比也。維新以來,我國與歐美各國,訂盟聯約,通商往來,正兩相親比之吋。今為美國獵船被捕之事,占得此卦,曰「王用三驅,失前禽」,見俄國政府,未嘗有捕之之令;「邑人不誡」,或者出于俄國土人所為也。

考俄國西比利亞(西伯利亞)地方曠遠,萬里只有督統御之,為政府政令所不及,前歐美各邦人民,每每滋事,雖各國政府責問俄國,俄政府答曰:彼地有總督統理,我當諭令總督查辦,終至延遲歲月,迄無結局。

今回之事,不過北方邊陲之一瑣務,既今責問俄國,彼之所答,亦必如前所云,諭令該地總督查辦面已。況此卦曰「顯比」,是明言光明正大,與萬國相親比,我國亦何必以此一小事,傷國家大體之親睦也?

唯今後須議定西比利亞海,兩國人民互漁之規則,凡兩國人民,非得其國政府免許,勿論港內,聯絡其國所屬兩岬線內,禁漁業,在線外,無論何國人,任其漁獵,亦可謂之「王用三驅,失前禽」也。

中島氏等為之感服《易》理之妙。
