98.34

Black dragon's pearl (lízhū: the first is fanqie 里 + 知 [lǐ + zhī]. The Zhuangzi states: "A pearl worth a thousand pieces of gold is surely found at the bottom of a nine-fold abyss, under the jaws of a black dragon. If one can obtain such a pearl, it is only by coming upon the dragon while it sleeps; had the dragon awoken, how could you have obtained it?" The Shuowen jiezi states: "It takes the radical 馬 with 麗 as its phonetic component").
