◎兴衰由人诀第一百一
“今天师幸都(dou)为(wei)愚生言,愿问赐(ci)饥者以(yi)食,寒者以(yi)衣(yi)意。”“然,夫饥者思(si)食,寒者思(si)衣(yi),得此,心结念其(qi)帝王矣(yi),至老(lao)不(bu)忘也。思(si)自效(xiao)尽力,不(bu)敢有(you)(you)二心也。恩爱洽著(zhu)民间,如有(you)(you)所得奇异殊方善(shan)道文,不(bu)敢匿也,悉(xi)思(si)付归(gui)其(qi)君,使其(qi)老(lao)寿(shou)。是故当以(yi)此赐(ci)之(zhi)也,此名为(wei)周穷救急。夫贤者好文,饥者好食,寒者好衣(yi),为(wei)人君赐(ci)其(qi)臣(chen)子,务当各得其(qi)所欲,则天下(xia)厌服(fu)矣(yi)。”“善(shan)哉(zai)(zai)善(shan)哉(zai)(zai)!”
“是以天性:上道德(de)而(er)下刑罚(fa)。故东方(fang)(fang)为(wei)道,南方(fang)(fang)为(wei)德(de)。道者主(zhu)生(sheng),故物悉(xi)生(sheng)于东方(fang)(fang);德(de)者主(zhu)养,故物悉(xi)养于南方(fang)(fang)。天之(zhi)格法,凡(fan)物悉(xi)归道德(de),故万物都出生(sheng)东南而(er)上行也,天地(di)四方(fang)(fang)六阳气,俱与生(sheng)物于辰(chen)巳(si)也。子知之(zhi)耶?”“唯唯。”
“天(tian)之(zhi)法下(xia)刑(xing),故(gu)西(xi)、北(bei),少阴、太阴,为刑(xing)祸。刑(xing)祸者(zhe),主伤主杀(sha),故(gu)物(wu)伤老衰于(yu)(yu)西(xi),而死于(yu)(yu)北(bei)。天(tian)气战斗。六阴无阳(yang),物(wu)皆伏藏于(yu)(yu)内穴中,畏刑(xing)兴祸,不敢出(chu)见。天(tian)道(dao)恶(e)之(zhi)下(xia)之(zhi),故(gu)其畜生(sheng),悉食恶(e)弃也。是(shi)故(gu)古者(zhe)圣人睹天(tian)法明(ming)(ming),故(gu)尚(shang)真(zhen)(zhen)道(dao)、善德、奇文而下(xia)武也,是(shi)明(ming)(ming)效也。今刑(xing)祸武,生(sheng)于(yu)(yu)西(xi)、北(bei)而尚(shang)之(zhi),名(ming)为以阴乘阳(yang),以贱(jian)乘贵。多出(chu)战斗,令民臣不忠,无益王治,其政难乎(hu)!真(zhen)(zhen)人宁知之(zhi)耶?”“唯唯。”
“子(zi)可谓(wei)以(yi)觉矣。是(shi)故古者圣贤,常(chang)尚道(dao)德文(wen),常(chang)投(tou)于(yu)上善(shan)(shan)处,而兵革(ge)战备投(tou)于(yu)下处。一人独居(ju),则投(tou)文(wen)于(yu)床(chuang)上,而兵居(ju)床(chuang)下,如是(shi)则夷狄自降,盗贼日消灭矣。”“善(shan)(shan)哉(zai)善(shan)(shan)哉(zai)!”“行,子(zi)可谓(wei)已知之矣。六子(zi)详思吾书意,以(yi)付上道(dao)德之君,以(yi)示(shi)众(zhong)贤,吾之言不(bu)负天地(di)贤明也。行去(qu),辞小(xiao)竟也。事(shi)他所疑,乃复来问之。”
“唯唯,今六真人受天(tian)师严教,谨归各(ge)居(ju)闲处,思念天(tian)师言,俱有(you)不解,唯天(tian)师示诀之(zhi)。”“行(xing)言,何等(deng)也?”“今天(tian)乃(nai)自(zi)有(you)四(si)时之(zhi)气(qi),地(di)自(zi)有(you)五行(xing)之(zhi)位(wei),其王(wang)、相、休(xiu)、囚、废(fei)自(zi)有(you)时,今但人兴用(yong)之(zhi)也,安能乃(nai)使(shi)其生气(qi),而王(wang)相更相克贼(zei)乎?”
“咄咄,噫!六子虽(sui)日(ri)学,无益也,反更(geng)大愚,略类无知(zhi)之人(ren)(ren)(ren),何哉?夫天地之为法,万物(wu)兴(xing)(xing)(xing)衰反随人(ren)(ren)(ren)。故凡(fan)人(ren)(ren)(ren)所(suo)共兴(xing)(xing)(xing)事,所(suo)贵(gui)用其物(wu),悉王(wang)生(sheng)气;人(ren)(ren)(ren)所(suo)休废,悉衰而囚(qiu)。故人(ren)(ren)(ren)所(suo)兴(xing)(xing)(xing)事者,即成人(ren)(ren)(ren)君长(zhang)师(shi)也;人(ren)(ren)(ren)所(suo)争用物(wu),悉贵(gui)而无平(ping)也;人(ren)(ren)(ren)所(suo)休废物(wu),悉贱而无贾直也。是故天下人(ren)(ren)(ren)所(suo)兴(xing)(xing)(xing)用者王(wang),自生(sheng)气,不必当须四时五(wu)行气也。故天法,凡(fan)人(ren)(ren)(ren)兴(xing)(xing)(xing)衰,乃万物(wu)兴(xing)(xing)(xing)衰,贵(gui)贱一(yi)由人(ren)(ren)(ren)。
是(shi)故古(gu)者(zhe)圣人(ren),知天(tian)格(ge)法不(bu)可妄犯也,故上古(gu)时(shi)人(ren),深知天(tian)尊(zun)道(dao)、用(yong)(yong)道(dao)、兴(xing)行道(dao),时(shi)道(dao)王(wang)。中古(gu)废不(bu)行,即道(dao)休囚,不(bu)见贵也。中古(gu)兴(xing)用(yong)(yong)德(de),则德(de)王(wang)。下(xia)古(gu)废至德(de),即德(de)复休囚也。故人(ren)兴(xing)用(yong)(yong)文,则文王(wang);兴(xing)用(yong)(yong)武(wu),则武(wu)王(wang),兴(xing)用(yong)(yong)金钱(qian),则金钱(qian)王(wang);兴(xing)用(yong)(yong)财(cai)货,财(cai)货王(wang)。天(tian)下(xia)人(ren)所(suo)兴(xing)用(yong)(yong),悉王(wang),自生(sheng)气。其所(suo)共(gong)废而不(bu)用(yong)(yong)者(zhe),悉由(you)凡(fan)物,何必乃当须天(tian)四(si)时(shi)五行王(wang)乃王(wang)哉(zai)?子学何不(bu)日(ri)昭昭,而反日(ri)益(yi)冥(ming)冥(ming)无知乎?
真(zhen)(zhen)人(ren)(ren)用(yong)(yong)意(yi),尚(shang)如(ru)此,夫俗人(ren)(ren)共(gong)犯天(tian)禁,言其(qi)不(bu)(bu)然,故是也(ye)。今以子(zi)(zi)况(kuang)之(zhi),人(ren)(ren)愚独久(jiu)矣。若真(zhen)(zhen)人(ren)(ren)言中,类吾为天(tian)陈法,为德(de)君解(jie)承负先王流灾(zai),将(jiang)有误人(ren)(ren)不(bu)(bu)可用(yong)(yong)者(zhe)耶!如(ru)误,何(he)可案用(yong)(yong)乎?六子(zi)(zi)若有疑,欲知吾道大效,知其(qi)真(zhen)(zhen)真(zhen)(zhen)与(yu)不(bu)(bu),令疾上付贤(xian)明道德(de)之(zhi)君,使其(qi)按用(yong)(yong)之(zhi),立与(yu)天(tian)地乃(nai)响相应,是其(qi)人(ren)(ren)明效证验(yan)也(ye)。今真(zhen)(zhen)人(ren)(ren)尚(shang)乃(nai)不(bu)(bu)能深知是,人(ren)(ren)能使物兴衰(shuai)进退;俗人(ren)(ren)比于子(zi)(zi),冥冥与(yu)盲何(he)异哉(zai)?”
“今见天师分别为愚生说之,已解矣。有过不也(ye)。”“夫人(ren)既学也(ye),当务思(si)惟(wei)其(qi)要意,勿(wu)但(dan)习言也(ye)而知(zhi)其(qi)意诀(jue),是天地与道所怨也(ye)。又学者,精之慎之。”“唯唯。”“行去,记(ji)此(ci)天政(zheng)(zheng)事,可以厌猾ビ,勿(wu)使德君失(shi)政(zheng)(zheng)事文也(ye)。”“唯唯。”
