Hexagram Statement
卦辭
正義曰：「渙亨」者，渙，卦名也。《序卦》曰：「說而後散之，故受之以渙。」然則渙者，散釋之名。《雜卦》曰：「渙，離也。」此又渙是離散之號也。蓋渙之為義，小人遭難，離散奔迸而逃避也。大德之人，能於此時建功立德，散難釋險，故謂之為渙；能釋險難，所以為亨，故曰「渙亨」。「王假有廟」者，王能渙難而亨，可以至於建立宗廟，故曰「王假有廟」也。「利涉大川」者，德洽神人，可濟大難，故曰「利涉大川」。「利貞」者，大難既散，宜以正道而柔集之，故曰利貞。
The Correct Meaning states: 'Dispersion, Success'—Huan (Dispersion) is the name of the hexagram. ' Thus huan is the name for scattering and releasing. ' This further shows that huan signifies separation and scattering.
The meaning of Dispersion is that petty persons encounter difficulties and scatter in flight to escape. A person of great virtue is able at such a time to establish merit and build virtue, dispersing difficulties and releasing dangers—hence it is called Dispersion. '
