杂说·龙说

龙lóng嘘xū气qì成chéng云yún，云yún固gù弗fú灵líng于yú龙lóng也yě。然rán龙lóng乘chéng是shì气qì，茫máng洋yáng穷qióng乎hū玄xuán间jiān，薄báo日rì月yuè，伏fú光guāng景jǐng，感gǎn震zhèn电diàn，神shén变biàn化huà，水shuǐ下xià土tǔ，汩gǔ陵líng谷gǔ，云yún亦yì灵líng怪guài矣yǐ哉zāi!

云yún，龙lóng之zhī所suǒ能néng使shǐ为wèi灵líng也yě；若ruò龙lóng之zhī灵líng，则zé非fēi云yún之zhī所suǒ能néng使shǐ为wèi灵líng也yě。然rán龙lóng弗fú得dé云yún，无wú以yǐ神shén其qí灵líng矣yǐ。失shī其qí所suǒ凭píng依yī，信xìn不bù可kě欤yú ！

异yì哉zāi！其qí所suǒ凭píng依yī，乃nǎi其qí所suǒ自zì为wèi也yě。《易yì》曰yuē：“yún云cóng从lóng龙jì。”yuē既lóng曰yún：龙cóng，云zhī从yǐ之矣。
