(天類)【提和越】漢言天地。《易》曰:「天地設位,而易行乎其中矣!」〈繫詞〉云:「易與天地準,故能彌綸天地之道。仰以觀於天文,俯以察其地理。」《白虎通》曰:「天之為言鎮也,居高理下,為人鎮也。地者,易也,言生萬物懷任,交易變化也。」
(Heaven category) [Devā / Tiheyue]: In Chinese, 'heaven and earth'. The Yijing states: 'Heaven and earth set their positions, and the changes proceed within them.' The Xici states: 'The Changes matches heaven and earth, therefore it can encompass the Dao of heaven and earth. Looking up, one observes the patterns of heaven; looking down, one examines the contours of the earth.' The Baihu tong states: 'The word "tian" (heaven) means to suppress (zhen); dwelling on high and governing below, it serves as the suppression for mankind. "Di" (earth) means change (yi); it means giving birth to the myriad things, conceiving and bearing them, alternating and transforming.'
