Fifth-Nine. (Represents) this flying Dragon as being now in Heaven. Benefit now results from meeting with the Great Man.
The Flying Dragon being in Heaven means the Great Man (beginning) to create.
Five-Nine says, The flying Dragon is now in Heaven and benefit results from meeting with the Great Man ; what is the meaning of this ? Confucius says ; When sounds accord, then there is harmony ; when Minds accord, then the wishes coincide, Water flows in moist places ; fire approaches dry places ; the clouds follow the Dragon, and the winds the Tiger ; so, when the Sage acts, then the myriad of things observe him. Those things which derive their origin from Heaven (Sun, Moon and Stars) belong to the upper world, and those which derive their origin from Earth (Mountains, Rivers, &c.) belong to the lower world, and thus each follows its kind.
The flying Dragon being in Heaven, implies being enthroned on high and ruling.
The flying Dragon being in Heaven means; that he is enthroned in the virtus of Heaven.
The virtus of the Great Man coincides with that of Heaven and Earth his brightness coincides with that of the Sun and Moon ; his regularity, with that of the Four Seasons ; and his good and bad luck with the Demon and the God. When he precedes Heaven (the Kosmos) Heaven does not rebel against him, and when he follows Heaven, he observes Heaven's seasons. As Heaven then, does not rebels against him, how much less can Men or the Demon-Gods do so !
