| My Master: |
Someone asked: Gongsun Long took his ten thousand clever words to be a model. Can they be used as a model?

But as for those things that do not accord with the model of the former kings, the junzi does not take them as a model. |

| 5 | 問神卷第... : |
龍蟠於泥，蚖其肆矣。蚖哉，蚖哉！惡睹龍之誌也與！ 或曰：「龍必欲飛天乎？」曰：「時飛則飛，時潛則潛，既飛且潛，食其不妄。形其不可得而制也與？」 |
| Asking About Shen: |
When the dragon curls up in the mud, the lizard runs wild. The lizard! The lizard! How can he understand the dragon's intention? The other said: The dragon inevitably wants to fly to Heaven, does he not? Yangzi said: When it's time to fly, then he flies. When it's time to hide, then he hides. Flying and hiding, he does not eat carelessly, and his form cannot be grasped and restrained. | |
| 曰：「聖人不制，則何為乎羑裏？」曰：「龍以不制為龍，聖人以不手為聖人。」 | ||
|
The other said: If the sage cannot be restrained, then how was King Wen imprisoned at Youli? Yangzi said: The dragon is a dragon because he is not restrained. The sage is a sage because he does not grasp onto only one alternative. |

| 17 | 問明卷第... : | 亨龍潛升，其貞利乎？或曰：「龍何如可以貞利而亨。」曰：「時未可而潛，不亦貞乎？時可而升，不亦利乎？潛升在己，用之以時，不亦亨乎。」 |
| Asking About Seeing Clearly:...: |
A successful dragon lays low or rises to view in accordance with his integrity and advantage. The other said: How does the dragon use his integrity and advantage and thereby succeed? Yangzi said: If the time is not right, he hides. Is this not integrity? If the time is right, he rises. Is this not seizing an advantage? If one is able both to hide and to rise, and act according to the times, is this not indeed success? |

| Yuan and Qian: |
Someone asked: Who are Yan Hui and Min Ziqian's followers? Yangzi said: They remain unknown. The other said: Why did Yan Hui and Min Ziqian not remain unknown? Yangzi said: It is like holding on to the dragon's scales or hanging on to the wings of the phoenix. They rose on the wind, soaring to heights that cannot be reached. How could they remain unknown! How could they remain unknown! |
