泽雷随
随时而动，择善而从
The Judgment
Following: sublime and penetrating, favoring steadfastness; thus no fault ensues.
The hexagram of Following speaks of yielding to the moment and moving with the current of the times. Great progress is possible; hold to what is upright and no misfortune comes. Only by going with the flow of circumstance can matters be brought to completion.
泽中有雷，随。君子以向晦入宴息。
随，刚来而下柔，动而说，随。大亨贞，无咎，而天下随时，随时之义大矣哉！
Interpretation(original text)
「随」本义为跟从、随顺。《序卦》曰「豫必有随，故受之以随」，欢乐之后自然有人追随。随卦由震下兑上组成，刚来下柔，长男从少女，有悦而动之象。程颐谓「以贵下贱，动而说，随之义也」。
上兑为泽、为悦，下震为雷、为动。雷入泽中，雷声在秋冬蛰伏于地下，象征随时而息、顺时而动。《象传》曰「泽中有雷，随。君子以向晦入宴息」，取顺应天时、劳逸结合之义。动而悦，有人乐于追随。
初九与六四正应，九五与六二正应，上六与九三虽应而不当。初九阳居阳位为卦之始动，九五阳刚中正居尊位为卦主。全卦三阳三阴相间，刚柔相济。程颐言九五「中正而居尊位，人所随从」，王弼谓「随时之义，不可须臾离也」。
随卦与蛊卦为相综之一对。随为追随顺从，蛊为整治腐败，先随后蛊，随顺过度则生弊端。《序卦》曰「以喜随人者必有事，故受之以蛊」。随在豫之后，豫为和乐，和乐则众人归附而随从。
The Lines
The office undergoes change; to persevere brings good fortune. Going out of the gate to mingle with others yields merit.
When the matters under your charge are shifting, keeping to the correct path brings good fortune. Step beyond your own door, engage and cooperate with others, and you will accomplish something worthwhile.
Image: 官有渝，从正吉也。出门交有功，不失也。
初九阳居阳位得正，处随卦之始。「官有渝，贞吉」言主管之职有所变动，守正则吉。初九与六四正应，有出门即逢知己之象。《象》曰「从正吉也」，程颐谓初九「以阳刚居下，能随时变通」。出门交往而有功，不拘一隅方能广结善缘。
Cling to the little one, and you lose the strong man.
If you bind yourself to petty company, you forfeit the worthy. Weigh your choices with care, and do not sacrifice the great for the sake of the small.
Image: 系小子，弗兼与也。
六二阴居阴位得正又得中，柔顺中正。「系小子，失丈夫」言随从小人则失去大人。六二上应九五，若转而就近比初九，则失正应。程颐言「二若系初则失五矣」。取舍之间，须分辨主次、不可因小失大。
Cling to the strong man, and you lose the little one. In following there is something sought and gained; it is favorable to dwell in steadfastness.
Attach yourself to the worthy and you let the petty go. When you follow the right road, what you seek can be obtained; it is best to settle quietly into what is upright.
Image: 系丈夫，志舍下也。
六三阴居阳位失正，处下卦之极。「系丈夫，失小子」与六二相反，追随大人则舍弃小人。六三上比九四，有弃暗投明之象。程颐谓「三能从上之阳，是能随于尊贤」，虽失正位但志向高远，「随有求得，利居贞」。
Following brings gain, yet to persist thus brings misfortune. Hold sincerity upon the path and let it shine forth; then what blame can there be?
Following may bring you gain, but to grasp at it without staying true courts misfortune. Keep faith in your heart, walk the honest road openly, and no fault can attach to you.
Image: 随有获，其义凶也。有孚在道，明功也。
九四阳居阴位失正，处上卦之初。「随有获，贞凶」言位高而专权截获，即使守正也有凶险。九四为近君大臣，下应初九而上逼九五，容易功高震主。《象》曰「其义凶也」，程颐言「以臣道随人而有获，虽正亦凶」。须有孚在道、光明磊落。
Sincere toward what is good and fair. Good fortune.
To follow what is good and worthy with genuine trust brings good fortune.
Image: 孚于嘉，位正中也。
九五阳居阳位得正又得中，为随卦之主。「孚于嘉，吉」以诚信随从于美善之道。九五刚健中正居尊位，下应六二，为天下人所随从。《象》曰「位正中也」，朱熹谓「居中得正，诚信及于嘉美」。此为随道之极致——以德服人，不令而行。
He is held fast and bound, then further tied and secured; the king makes his offering upon the western mountain.
The loyal follower is held close and bound tightly to the cause; thus the king offers sacrifice on the western mountain, and his utter sincerity moves all who witness it.
Image: 拘系之，上穷也。
上六阴居阴位得正，处随卦之极。「拘系之，乃从维之」言过度牵绊束缚，反映随从到极端的执着。上六居卦末，随之已穷，须知进退。《象》曰「上穷也」。王弼注「处随之极，随道已成」，暗示须适可而止，过度追随反受其害。
