Li is fire and light, but also attachment: a flame needs something to sustain it. The hexagram asks us to keep clarity rooted in what is right and gentle, so light illuminates rather than destroys.

A modern scene to help you recognize the situation. This is YiPhase's own example, separate from the classical text below.
用当代处境帮助理解卦意。以下为 YiPhase 独立编写的例子，与后面的经典原文分开。
Mei runs a small community art studio that has become a bright spot in her neighborhood. But its light depends on her energy and the support of many hands. The hexagram Li reminds Mei that brightness needs a steady, gentle ground to keep shining without burning out or overwhelming others.
梅经营着一家小型社区艺术工作室，它已成为邻里间的一盏明灯。但这份光亮依赖她的精力和众人的支持。离卦提醒梅：光明需要稳定而柔和的根基，才能持续照耀，而不至于燃尽或灼伤他人。
What sustains your light, and how can you keep it gentle?
什么支撑着你的光？你如何让它保持柔和？

離：利貞。亨。畜牝牛，吉。
Li: steadfastness is favourable; there is passage. Raising a cow brings good fortune.
Light needs a sustaining ground. The image of a female cow adds patience and gentle steadiness to the force of brightness.
火要有依托，明也需要守正。卦辞以柔顺的牝牛提醒：持续的光明不能只有炽烈，还要有耐心与涵养。

以下属于解释《周易》的经典传文，页面与卦辞分层展示，方便初学者看清文本来源。
The lines begin with careful steps and balanced yellow light, then face sunset and sudden fire. Honest grief opens care for others; at the end, clear judgment distinguishes a harmful leader from those who followed.
六爻由初见光时谨慎落脚、黄光居中，走到日昃的衰落与突然焚毁；之后以真实哀伤重新照看众人，最终把明辨用于节制而公正的行动。
Footsteps are confused; meet them with care, and there is no blame.
一开始就有纷杂的路迹，越明亮敏锐，越要敬慎地选下一步。
At the beginning, many tracks cross. Bright perception helps only if it makes your next step more careful.
When Mei first opened the studio, many paths crossed: pottery, painting, poetry nights. Each idea glowed. Instead of rushing, she visited other community spaces and asked what they needed. Respecting their tracks, she chose one workshop to start.
梅刚开工作室时，眼前有许多交叉的路：陶艺、绘画、诗歌之夜，每个想法都在发光。她没有急着全做，而是走访了其他社区空间，询问他们需要什么。她敬重这些已有的足迹，只选择先开一门工作坊。
Ask yourself: What helps you choose one path when many call to you?
想一想：当许多道路同时召唤你时，什么帮助你选择其中一条？
Yellow radiance: great good fortune.
黄色居中，光不偏不倚。让明亮有温度、有分寸，才是离卦的盛处。
Yellow marks the center. Light that is warm and well placed, rather than dazzling for its own sake, is deeply fortunate.
Mei found her center leading a weekly clay class. She didn't perform or seek applause; she moved slowly, showing each person how to shape a bowl. Like the yellow light that stays in the middle, her warmth made the studio a place where people felt safe to learn.
梅在每周的陶艺课上找到了自己的中心。她不表演也不求掌声，只是慢慢地示范，教每个人如何捏出碗形。就像黄色的光安守中道，她的温暖让工作室成为人们安心学习的地方。
Ask yourself: Where do you find your center when the world asks for brightness?
想一想：当世界要求你发光时，你在哪里找到自己的中心？
Light of the declining sun: if one does not beat the clay vessel and sing, there is the lament of great old age; ominous.
日已西斜，盛光不会常在。与其只为衰老叹息，不如在有限的时光里仍能安然生活。
The sun is setting. If one can only lament age and cannot find a song in ordinary life, the fading light becomes a source of dread.
Years passed, and Mei felt the sun of her energy set. She could have grown bitter, regretting lost vigor. Instead, she picked up the old clay drum left in the corner and began a simple tea-and-story hour. The studio's light dimmed, but didn't go out.
多年过去，梅感到自己精力的太阳开始西斜。她本可以变得苦涩，惋惜失去的活力。但她拿起角落里那只旧陶鼓，办起了简单的茶话故事会。工作室的光变暗了，却没有熄灭。
Ask yourself: When your light fades, what simple song can you still drum?
想一想：当你的光渐弱时，你还能敲响怎样简单的歌？
It comes suddenly; burning, dying, cast aside.
失控的火骤然而至，留下焚毁与弃置。光明一旦变成躁烈，反会无所容身。
Fire arrives without restraint and leaves devastation. Bright force that turns abrupt and consuming can destroy the very ground that held it.
One day, a volunteer named Leo exploded in anger. He posted cruel words online about the studio, and several members left in confusion. It felt like a sudden fire consuming the timber of trust. Mei stood in the empty room, surrounded by ashes of what they had built.
一天，一位叫里奥的志愿者突然发怒。他在网上对工作室写了刻薄的评论，几名成员困惑地离开了。这就像突如其来的大火吞噬了信任的木梁。梅站在空荡的屋里，周围是他们所建之物的灰烬。
Ask yourself: When a sudden fire destroys what you built, what remains?
想一想：当突如其来的大火烧毁你所建之物时，还剩下什么？
Tears flow; there is sorrow and sighing. Good fortune.
位高者能为伤痛落泪，正是看见人的处境。这里的吉，不是灾难本身，而是悲悯带来的清醒与担当。
The fortunate part is not the loss. It is a leader willing to see suffering honestly and answer it with care.
Mei didn't hide her tears. She called everyone together, including those who had left. She wept openly and listened to their pain. In that shared sadness, something shifted. The good fortune was not in the fire, but in the care that rose from its ashes.
梅没有隐藏眼泪。她把所有人召集起来，包括那些离开的人。她公开哭泣，倾听他们的痛苦。在共同的悲伤中，有些东西转变了。吉不在于火灾，而在于从灰烬中升起的关怀。
Ask yourself: How can shared grief become a source of healing?
想一想：共同的悲伤如何成为治愈的源泉？
The king goes out on an expedition; commendable to subdue the leader, taking no hold of the followers. No blame.
用明辨去平乱，重点是制止首恶，不把跟随者一概牵连。力量因有分寸而无咎。
An expedition guided by clarity distinguishes the source of harm from those who followed. Restraint prevents force from becoming indiscriminate.
The community held a meeting. They decided Leo could no longer lead, but they welcomed back everyone who had followed him. They distinguished the source of harm from those who were misled. With clarity and restraint, they rebuilt the studio on a firmer foundation.
社区召开会议。他们决定不再让里奥担任领导，但欢迎所有跟随他离开的人回来。他们辨明了伤害的源头和受误导的人。以清明和节制，他们在更坚实的基础上重建了工作室。
Ask yourself: How do you address harm without punishing everyone involved?
想一想：你如何应对伤害，而不惩罚所有涉及的人？

《彖传》以日月依天、草木依地解释“离”的依附之义。两重光明必须依正而行，柔和居中才能持久。
The Tuan Commentary pairs the sun and moon with heaven, and crops and trees with earth. Clarity endures when it attaches to what is right, with gentleness at the center.
Brightness rises twice: Li. A great person continues the light to illuminate the four directions.
光要一代接一代地照出去，而不只在一时灿烂。明辨与教化，重在持续。
The doubled light points beyond a single flash. Keep clarity alive and let it reach in every direction.
