焦氏易林

匏瓜之德,宜繫不食。君子失與,官政懷憂。

The virtue of the bottle gourd -- fit to be hung, not to be eaten. The noble man loses his companions; official duties bring only worry.

— 焦延寿《焦氏易林》,公元前一世纪

注释

水洊至,賢者懸而不用如匏瓜。匏瓜有德,宜繫而不食——暗合《論語·陽貨》孔子之歎:「吾豈匏瓜也哉?焉能繫而不食?」君子失去同道,為官政而憂。才能在身而無所用,能力具足而無施展之地。從坎至遯(天下有山),天退於山上,遯之象也。匏瓜繫而不食正是被迫退隱之才德者的完美象徵:聖人非不在世間,而是懸於其中,可見而不得用,其才被認知卻被刻意擱置。
