| 74 | 曲禮上: | 外事以剛日，內事以柔日。凡卜筮日：旬之外曰遠某日，旬之內曰近某日。喪事先遠日，吉事先近日。曰：「為日，假爾泰龜有常，假爾泰筮有常。」卜筮不過三，卜筮不相襲。龜為卜，策為筮，卜筮者，先聖王之所以使民信時日、敬鬼神、畏法令也；所以使民決嫌疑、定猶與也。故曰：「疑而筮之，則弗非也；日而行事，則必踐之。」 |
| Qu Li I: | External undertakings should be commenced on the odd days, and internal on the even. In all cases of divining about a day, whether by the tortoise-shell or the stalks, if it be beyond the decade, it is said, 'on such and such a distant day,' and if within the decade, 'on such and such a near day.' For matters of mourning a distant day is preferred; for festive matters a near day. It is said, 'For the day we depend on thee, O great Tortoise-shell, which dost give the regular indications; we depend on you, O great Divining Stalks, which give the regular indications.' Divination by the shell or the stalks should not go beyond three times. The shell and the stalks should not be both used on the same subject. Divination by the shell is called bu; by the stalks, shi. The two were the methods by which the ancient sage kings made the people believe in seasons and days, revere spiritual beings, stand in awe of their laws and orders; the methods (also) by which they made them determine their perplexities and settle their misgivings. Hence it is said, 'If you doubted, and have consulted the stalks, you need not (any longer) think that you will do wrong. If the day (be clearly indicated), boldly do on it (what you desire to do).' |

| 49 | 表記: | 子言之：「昔三代明王皆事天地之神明，無非卜筮之用，不敢以其私，褻事上帝。是故不犯日月，不違卜筮。卜筮不相襲也。大事有時日；小事無時日，有筮。外事用剛日，內事用柔日。不違龜筮。」 |
| Biao Ji: | These were the words of the Master - 'The ancient and intelligent kings of the three dynasties all served the Spiritual Intelligences of heaven and earth, but invariably used the tortoise-shell and divining stalks. They did not presume to employ their own private judgment in the service of God. In this way they did not transgress in the matter of the day or month, for they did not act contrary to the result of the divination. The tortoise and the shell were not consulted in succession on the same point. For the great (sacrificial) services there were (fixed) seasons and days; for the smaller services these were not fixed. They fixed them by divination (near the time). (In divining) about external affairs they used the odd days; and for internal affairs, the even. They did not go against the (intimations of the) tortoise-shell and stalks.' |

| 6 | 卜上: | 《曲禮》曰：凡卜筮日，旬之外曰遠某日，旬之內曰近某日。喪事先遠日，吉事先近日。曰：「假爾泰龜有常，假爾泰筮有常。」命龜筮辭，龜筮于吉凶有常，大事卜，小事筮。卜筮不遇三。卜筮不相襲。龜為卜，策為筮。卜筮者，先聖王之所以使民信時日、敬鬼神、畏法令也，所以使民決嫌疑、定猶與也，故曰疑而筮之。 |

又曰《表記》曰：南人有言曰：人而無恒，不可以為卜筮，古之遺言與龜筮猶不能知也，而況於人乎？ 又曰：子言之，昔三代明王，皆事天地之神明，無非卜筮之用，不敢以其私褻事上帝，言動任卜筮也。神明謂群神也。是故不犯日月，不違卜筮。日月謂冬夏至及四時也。所不違者，日與牲尸也。卜筮不相襲也。襲，因也。大事則卜，小事則筮也。大事有時日，大事，有事于大神，有常時常日也。小事無時日，有筮。外事用剛日，內事用柔日，不違龜筮。 |

| 3 | 筮上: | 《禮記·曲禮》曰：假爾太龜有常，假爾太筮有常。卜筮不過三，求吉不過三也。卜筮不相襲也。卜不吉則又筮，筮不吉則又卜，是瀆龜筮。卜筮者，先聖之所以使民信時日、敬鬼神、畏法令、決嫌疑、定猶豫也。 |
