詔答曰：「設卦觀象，事遠文高，作繫表言，辭深理奧，東魯絕編之思，西伯幽憂之作，事逾三古，人更七聖，自商瞿稟承，子庸傳授，篇簡湮沒，歲月遼遠。 An edict replied: "Setting hexagrams and observing images—the matter is remote and the text lofty; composing the Appended Phrases—the words are deep and the principle abstruse. The thought of cut silken cords in eastern Lu, the writing in western Bo's deep sorrow—the matter exceeds the Three Antiquities; men have changed through seven sages. From Shang Qu's receiving and Ziyong's transmitting, the slips were lost and the years far away.
