有孚,元吉。无咎,可贞,利有攸往。曷之用?二簋可用享。
In (what is denoted by) Sun, if there be sincerity (in him who employs it), there will be great good fortune:—freedom from error; firmness and correctness that can be maintained; and advantage in every movement that shall be made. In what shall this (sincerity in the exercise of Sun) be employed? (Even) in sacrifice two baskets of grain, (though there be nothing else), may be presented.
「损有孚」至「可用享」。○正义曰:「损」者,减损之名,此卦明损下益上,故谓之「损」。「损」之为义,「损下益上」,损刚益柔。损下益上,非补不足者也。损刚益柔,非长君子之道者也。若不以诚信,则涉谄谀而有过咎,故必「有孚」,然后大吉,无咎可正,而「利有攸往」矣,故曰「损有孚,元吉,无咎可贞,利有攸往」也。先儒皆以无咎、可贞,各自为义,言既吉而无咎,则可以为正。准下王注《彖》辞云:「损下而不为邪,益上而不为谄,则何咎而可正。」然则王意以无咎、可贞共成一义,故庄氏云:「若行损有咎,则须补过以正其失。」今行损用信,则是无咎可正,故云「无咎可贞」。窃谓庄氏之言得正旨矣。「曷之用,二簋可用享」者,明行损之礼,贵夫诚信,不在于丰。既行损以信,何用丰为?二簋至约,可用享祭矣,故曰「曷之用,二簋可用享」也。
