태(泰) — 땅 위에 하늘. 천지가 교류하고 만물이 순조롭다. 음양이 조화를 이룬 절호의 시기.
효별 해설

이효：包荒，用冯河，不遐遗，朋亡，得尚于中行。 Embracing the uncivilized; crossing rivers on foot; not forgetting distant friends or forming cliques. Walk the middle path.
삼효：无平不陂，无往不复，艰贞无咎。勿恤其孚，于食有福。 No plain without a slope, no going without return. Persevere through hardship — do not fear; blessings come with sustenance.
사효：翩翩不富，以其邻，不戒以孚。 Light and unburdened; neighbors share without caution. Trust without reservation.
오효：帝乙归妹，以祉元吉。 King Yi marries off his sister — blessings follow. Humility from the high brings supreme fortune.
상효：城复于隍，勿用师，自邑告命，贞吝。 The city wall collapses into the moat — do not deploy troops. Declare within your own town; stubbornness brings regret.
