火山旅
旅途漂泊，柔顺以止
The Judgment
The Wanderer: success in small things. For the traveler, steadfastness brings good fortune.
The life of a stranger far from home holds only modest success; yet the wayfarer who keeps to what is right will find fortune on the road.
山上有火，旅。君子以明慎用刑，而不留狱。
旅，小亨，柔得中乎外，而顺乎刚，止而丽乎明，是以小亨，旅贞吉也。旅之时义大矣哉！
Interpretation(original text)
旅者，旅行也，客居他乡之义。上离（火）下艮（山），山上有火，火势延烧而不久留，如旅人之行，居无定所。程颐谓「旅，羁旅也，亲寡之时」，旅人在外，势单力薄，需谨慎柔顺。
上离为火，下艮为山，火在山上，燎原而过，不能久驻。火之就燥，山之静止，火过则山仍在而火已逝，旅客过境之象。王弼注「山止而火行，火不久居」，旅人如火，行而不留。虞翻以艮为门阙、离为明，旅行在外需明察秋毫。
六五为卦主，柔中居尊，「射雉一矢亡」，虽有小失而终能成事。初六「旅琐琐」，处旅之初卑微琐碎。九四「旅于处」，得安处之所。上九「鸟焚其巢」，旅之极则失其所，丧牛于易。全卦自下而上，旅人由卑至尊再至失所，寓意旅途无常。
旅为第五十六卦，与丰（第五十五卦）相综。《序卦》曰「穷大者必失其居，故受之以旅」。丰极则失所，大而穷则为旅。朱熹谓丰旅相综，「丰盛至极则流离」，此为盈虚消长之理。
The Lines
The wanderer frets over petty concerns, and this is how he draws disaster upon himself.
Pettiness and small-minded fussing on the road are precisely what invite calamity upon the traveler.
Image: 旅琐琐，志穷灾也。
初六阴柔居旅之始，位最卑下。「旅琐琐」，琐碎卑微，自取灾害。此爻以柔居下，旅途之初畏缩琐屑，有失旅人之志。程颐注「志穷而灾至」，旅行当知所止，琐琐则失其所。
The wanderer reaches his lodging, his goods secure in hand, and gains a young servant's loyalty. Good fortune.
Finding shelter at an inn with his means kept safe and a faithful young attendant at his side, the traveler is well placed.
Image: 得童仆贞，终无尤也。
六二阴柔居中得正，旅之中道。「旅即次」，旅人得到安顿之处。怀其资，有童仆之贞。此爻柔中守正，在旅途中能保全资财、得人相助。朱熹谓「柔顺中正」，旅中最吉之爻。
The wanderer's lodging burns, and he loses his young servant. Even perseverance holds danger.
His shelter goes up in flames and his attendant is lost; even holding to what is right, he stands in peril.
Image: 旅焚其次，亦以伤矣；以旅与下，其义丧也。
九三阳居阳位，处下卦之极。「旅焚其次」，旅舍被焚。「丧其童仆」，失去随从，贞厉。此爻刚而处止体之极，过于刚强以致与人不和，所居之处反遭祸患。王弼注「过刚失中」，旅行当以柔顺处世。
The wanderer finds a resting-place and comes by his means and an ax; yet his heart is not glad.
He gains a temporary lodging along with goods and a tool to hand, but still feels no ease within.
Image: 旅于处，未得位也；得其资斧，心未快也。
九四阳居柔位，入上卦之始。「旅于处」，得到栖身之所。「得其资斧」，获得旅行资用。然「我心不快」，处非正位，虽有所得而不安心。程颐谓此爻「处非其位」，旅中虽得安处而志不满。
He shoots at a pheasant and loses but a single arrow; in the end this wins him honor and standing.
One arrow spent hunting the pheasant seems a small loss, yet it ultimately earns him repute and a place of trust.
Image: 终以誉命，上逮也。
六五以柔居尊，旅卦之主。「射雉一矢亡」，射猎野雉失一箭，终以誉命。此爻柔中居尊，在旅途中仍能守文明之德。朱熹注「柔中居尊」，虽有小损而终获名誉，旅中之上策。
The bird's nest burns. The wanderer laughs first and wails afterward; through carelessness he loses his ox on the open plain. Misfortune.
His refuge is consumed like a burning nest. Laughter turns to weeping, and heedlessness costs him his ox in the open country; misfortune.
Image: 以旅在上，其义焚也；丧牛于易，终莫之闻也。
上九阳居旅之极，客居已久而骄。「鸟焚其巢」，旅人先笑后号啕大哭。「丧牛于易」，失去所恃。此爻以刚居极，旅途尽头而骄傲自满，虞翻谓「以旅在上」，旅道穷极不知收敛则凶。
