　　类族辨物

　　通过分别事物的族类来辨察事物的同异。这一术语源自《周易·象上》。《周易》认为，天地万物以族类相聚合，同类的事物会聚集在一起。不同的群体之间就会显示出事物的差异。因此可以通过对聚合的群体进行区别、分类，以此来辨别事物的同异。同时也警醒人们，应谨慎选择自己所亲近的群体，要与君子同群。

　　Discerning Things Through Classification

　　This term means to ascertain the similarities and differences between things by classifying them. This phrase originated in The Book of Changes, which regarded everything in the world as belonging to different categories, and those with similar features being in the same group. Thus, one can tell the similarities and differences of things by grouping those that have common features. This concept also alerts people that they should be careful in interacting with people and should stick to like-minded people and those with moral integrity.

　　引 例

　　天与火，同人。君子以类族辨物。（《周易·象上》）（上卦为乾象天，下卦为离象火，是同人卦。君子通过分别事物的族类来辨察事物的同异。）

　　The upper trigram is qian, which is the image of heaven. The lower trigram is li, which is the image of fire. These form the hexagram for "fellowship."A man of virtue discerns similarities and differences in things based on how they are classified. (The Book of Changes)
