[原文]
1.3 人文之元,肇自太极,幽赞神明,《易》象惟先。庖牺画其始,仲尼翼其终。而《乾》《坤》两位,独制《文言》。言之文也,天地之心哉!若逎《河图》孕乎八卦,《洛书〉韫乎九畴,玉版金镂之实,丹文绿牒之华,谁其尸之,亦神理而已。
[今译]
人类文章的开端,起于天地未分以前的一团元气,深通这个神奇的道理,要算《易经》中的卦象最早。那是伏義开头画的八卦,孔子最后加上辅助性的解释《十翼》。其中的《乾卦》《坤卦》,孔子特地用《文言》来解释。可见语言须要文采,才算是天地的心灵啊!至于说黄河里有龙献图,含有八卦,洛水里有龟献书,含有九类治国的大法,玉版上金字的内容,绿简上红字的文采,是谁造成的呢?是神秘的启示罢了。
1.3 Language originated in taiji, the Great Primal Beginning. In the beginning, divine order revealed the hexagrams of the Book of Changes. Pao Xi drew the eight trigrams of the Book of Changes, to which Confucius appended commentaries known as the "Ten Wings." Further, to interpret the qian (heaven) and kun (earth) hexagrams, Confucius wrote the "Patterns of Words." Are not word patterns the mind of heaven and earth! The Yellow River Diagram contains the eight trigrams, and the Writing from River Luo reveals the nine great principles of government. What could have authored the golden words on the jade plate and the red patterns on the green bamboo slips, if not Divine Reason?
