雷水解
险难解除，缓而图之
The Judgment
Deliverance: the southwest furthers. If there is nowhere to go, return brings good fortune. If there is somewhere to go, then early action brings good fortune.
The hexagram of Deliverance is the bursting of thunder and rain that releases all things. It favors the southwest; if there is no pressing errand, then to settle back and return is fortunate; but if action is called for, to act early is fortunate.
雷雨作，解。君子以赦过宥罪。
解，险以动，动而免乎险，解。解利西南，往得众也。其来复吉，乃得中也。有攸往夙吉，往有功也。天地解而雷雨作，雷雨作而百果草木皆甲坼，解之时大矣哉！
Interpretation(original text)
解，纾解、化解也。险难散去、困局解开之象。雷雨交作，万物舒畅，百果草木皆甲拆而生发。《彖》曰「天地解而雷雨作，雷雨作而百果草木皆甲拆」，解为困难化解之后的新生与舒展。
上震为雷为动，下坎为水为险。动而出险，险难已过，有纾解之象。程颐释曰：「动于险外，出乎险也，故为解。」坎险在内，震动在外，如人已从险境中走出，身心舒畅。雷雨大作可涤荡污浊，天地之间一片清新，万物得以重生。
九二居下卦之中，阳居阴位虽不当而得中，刚中有德，为解卦之关键。九四居上卦之初，阳居阴位，与初六正应。六五居尊位而阴柔，须赖九二之助以成解。六三居内卦之极，阴居阳位不中不正，为全卦之弱环。王弼注：「二以刚中之德居险难之中而为之主。」
解继蹇之后。《序卦》曰：「物不可以终难，故受之以解。」困难不会永远持续，蹇极则解。蹇与解互为综卦，蹇为困，解为通。朱熹曰：「蹇者难也，物不可终难，必有解散之时。」解后接损，纾解之后当减损以整理，不可骄纵。

No blame.
There is no fault. As the difficulty first eases, quiet and inaction are all that is needed.
Image: 刚柔之际，义无咎也。
初六以阴居阳位，处解之初，蹇难方解。「无咎」者，解之初无过可咎。王弼注：「居解之初，在险之终，始免乎难而已。」初六与九四正应，有依靠之象。蹇难初解，宜安静休养，不必急于大举。如大病初愈，当以调理为先。
In the hunt one takes three foxes and receives a yellow arrow. Perseverance brings good fortune.
On the hunt one catches three foxes and gains a golden arrow; holding to the right course brings good fortune. An image of clearing away cunning schemers while keeping to a straight and honest heart.
Image: 九二贞吉，得中道也。
九二以阳居阴位不当，然得中道。「田获三狐，得黄矢」，打猎获得三只狐狸并得黄色箭矢。三狐喻小人或邪佞之辈，黄矢喻中正之道。程颐释曰：「以刚中之德解天下之难，去小人而行中直之道。」「贞吉」，守正则吉。此爻为解卦之核心，以刚中之德去邪归正。
One who carries a burden on his back yet rides in a carriage invites robbers to draw near. Persistence brings humiliation.
To haul a load like a servant yet ride in a lord's carriage, rank ill-matched to worth, draws thieves; and even holding one's ground brings disgrace.
Image: 负且乘，亦可丑也。自我致戎，又谁咎也。
六三以阴居阳位，不中不正。「负且乘」，背负重物又乘坐华车，小人据高位之象。「致寇至」，招致盗寇来犯。朱熹曰：「以阴柔之质居阳刚之位，非分之据，必致祸患。」此爻为解卦中的警戒，位不配德则招灾，当自省退让以避咎。
Deliver yourself from your big toe. Then the companion comes, and him you can trust.
Free yourself of the clinging toe, the unworthy hanger-on at your side, and true friends will come and deal with you in good faith.
Image: 解而拇，未当位也。
九四以阳居阴位不当，处上卦之初。「解而拇」，解去你的大拇指——意为去除不当的依附。与初六正应，但须解除不正当的私交才能「朋至斯孚」。程颐谓：「四近五之君位，当先解去不正之交，方能得正人之信。」此爻讲解除旧弊、重建信任。
The superior man alone can bring about deliverance. Good fortune. He proves his sincerity even to the inferior man.
When the noble man works his release from entanglements, good fortune follows, and by his integrity he wins over even the petty and moves them to reform.
Image: 君子有解，小人退也。
六五以阴居阳位，处尊位而柔中。「君子维有解」，君子当能自行解决问题。「有孚于小人」，以诚信感化小人使之退去。朱熹释曰：「柔中居尊，能以德化人。」六五为卦主，虽柔而能以中德服众，「吉」，小人自退而君子道行。此爻为解之理想状态。
The prince shoots at a hawk upon a high wall. He brings it down. Nothing that does not further.
A prince atop a high rampart looses his arrow and strikes down the hawk, taking it; nothing fails to serve. An image of striking down the source of harm cleanly, with a single decisive blow.
Image: 公用射隼于高墉之上，以解悖也。
上六以阴居阴位，处解之极。「公用射隼于高墉之上」，在高墙上射下鹰隼。隼喻据高位为恶之小人。程颐释曰：「解之终，当尽解天下之难，去天下之恶。」至解之极，果断射除最后的邪恶势力，「获之无不利」，一举除害，解道大成。
