48. 井 Jǐng, The Well
井：改邑不改井，無喪無得，往來井井。汔至，亦未繘井，羸其瓶，凶。
彖曰：巽乎水而上水，井；井養而不窮也。改邑不改井，乃以剛中也。汔至亦未繘井，未有功也。羸其瓶，是以凶也。
象曰：木上有水，井；君子以勞民勸相。
初六：井泥不食，舊井無禽。
象曰：井泥不食，下也。舊井無禽，時舍也。
九二：井谷射鮒，甕敝漏。
象曰：井谷射鮒，無與也。
九三：井渫不食，為我民惻，可用汲，王明，並受其福。
象曰：井渫不食，行惻也。求王明，受福也。
六四：井甃，無咎。
象曰：井甃無咎，修井也。
九五：井冽，寒泉食。
象曰：寒泉之食，中正也。
上六：井收勿幕，有孚無吉。
象曰：元吉在上，大成也。
