Comment

Seeond-Nine. Is the Dragon appearing on dry land, and (prognosticates that) benefit may now be derived
from consulting with the Great Man.

The Dragon appearing on the dry land, means that his virtus extends throughout the world.

Second-Nine says that the Dragon is now seen on the dry land and (hence) benefit arises from the manifestation of the Great Man; what is.the meaning of this? Confucius says ; The virtus of the Dragon has now attained the undeflected due Medium ; his ordinary statements are reliable, and his ordinary actions are carefully performed. He guards against depravity, and preserves his perfect sincerity ; he reforms the age without boasting ; his virtus is universal and transmutes. This statement of the Yih King refers to the virtus of the Prince.

The Dragon appearing on the dry land imports loss of opportunity.

When the Dragon appears on the dry land, then the world is adorned with every excellence.

The Model Man learns in order to accumulate knowledge ; he interrogates in order to discriminate; he enlarges his mind by storing up knowledge ; and practises what he knows by benevolence. (It is thus that) the statement of the Yih King that when the Dragon is manifested on the dry land, benefit is derived from meeting with the Great Man, refers to the virtues of the Prince.
