大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 84.18

84.18

疏「十一切種智證信入」者，證信即初地已上，揀異聲聞未得此信，十地皆依佛智海故。疏「大文第二請分」下，疏「猶葉公好龍」者，事出《莊子》。葉公姓沈，名諸梁。故《春秋》注云「葉公子高沈諸梁，食采於葉，僣以稱公。」亦有云「與楚同姓，楚姓芊（綿婢切，弭音）。即子張見衛君，君不全待，子張云：『公之好士，猶葉公之好龍。葉公好龍，井廁之間皆畫其像。真龍知其好，乃現其庭。葉公絕倒，不敢視。葉公之好，好於似龍，非好真龍。今君好士，但好似士，非好真士也。』」今聲聞之請法，若彼好龍，不覩希奇，若不識真物也。

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "Tenth: entering through verified faith in the cognition of all aspects," "verified faith" refers to the first bhūmi and above, distinguishing it from the śrāvakas who have not attained this faith, since all ten bhūmis rely on the ocean of the Buddha's wisdom. Under the major section two, "The Request Section," regarding the Commentary's statement, "like Duke Ye's love of dragons": this matter originates in the Zhuangzi. Duke Ye's surname was Shen and his given name was Zhuliang. Thus, the Chunqiu commentary states: "Duke Ye, Zigao, Shen Zhuliang, held a fief at Ye and presumptuously called himself Duke." It is also said: "He shared the royal surname of Chu; the Chu surname was Mi." When Zizhang had an audience with the ruler of Wei and the ruler did not treat him with full courtesy, Zizhang said: 'Your Lordship's love of worthy men is like Duke Ye's love of dragons. Duke Ye loved dragons: they were painted everywhere, between his wells and privies. A real dragon, knowing of his love, appeared in his courtyard. Duke Ye was terrified out of his wits and dared not look. Duke Ye's love was a love for what resembled a dragon, not a love for a real dragon. Now Your Lordship's love of worthy men is merely a love for what resembles a worthy man, not a love for a real worthy man.' Now, the śrāvakas' requesting the Dharma is like his loving dragons: failing to recognize the rare wonder is like failing to recognize the genuine article.
