者,鱗之長[],天地之靈獸也。位列十二地支,亦列四靈。能幽能明,能細能巨,能短能長,其於春分而登天,抵秋分而潛淵。其角似鹿、頭似、目似、嘴似驢、腹似、鱗似、足似鳳、鬚似人、耳似,其形多異能,是故祥瑞兆也[]

其性剛烈而仁慈,喜雨而惡暴,喜音而惡鬧。其聲如雷,其氣如雲,其目如日,其鱗如珠。天地之間,無不畏其威而敬其德。古之聖人,皆以龍為象,以示其高明之德與玄妙之道。

龍之所在,風雨隨之。龍之所好,珠玉為之。龍之所怒,山河崩裂。龍之所悲,江海泣血。龍有九子,曰囚牛,曰睚眥,曰嘲風,曰蒲牢,曰狻猊,曰贔屭,曰狴犴,曰負屭,曰螭吻,各有所好。[]

龍負盛名,故中外近於其形者,皆譯稱龍,詳見釋義
