熹曰此所谓无极而太极也所以动而阳
静而阴之本体也然非有以离乎阴阳也
即阴阳而指其本体不离乎阴阳而为言
尔此 ○之动而阳静而阴也中○者其
本体也 者阳之动也○之用所以行也
者阴之静也〇之体所以立也 者
之根也 者 之根也 此阳变阴合
注解:
(参照该图)这个圆圈“○”代表的是具有运动性并转化为阳的部分,同时又处于静止状态并转化为阴的部分。中间的圆圈“○”则是其基本物质。[ 左侧 ] 代表阳的运动 ⸺ 至高无上的事物所具有的运作功能(“运行”)。[ 右侧 ] 代表阴的静止 ⸺ 至高无上的事物所具有的自身确立的物质(“本质”)。[ 鱼身内的小圆圈] 是彼此的根源:阳的根源在阴之中,阴的根源也在阳之中。这就是 [ 阳转化与阴结合的过程 ]……

Xi writes: "This is what is called 'The Ultimate of Nothingness (Wuji) and yet the Supreme Ultimate (Taiji).' It is the fundamental substance (Benti) that, through motion, generates Yang, and through stillness, generates Yin. However, it does not exist apart from Yin and Yang; rather, its substance is indicated within them."
Annotation:
[Referring to the diagram:] This circle 〇represents that which moves and becomes Yang, and is still and becomes Yin. The central circle 〇 is its fundamental substance. [The left side] represents the movement of Yang — the function (yong) of the Supreme Ultimate by which it operates. [The right side] represents the stillness of Yin — the substance (ti) of the Supreme Ultimate by which it establishes itself. [The small circles within the fish] are the roots of each other: the root of Yang is within Yin, and the root of Yin is within Yang. This is [the process where] Yang transforms, and Yin unites...
