種有幾，	The seeds (of things) are multitudinous and minute.
得水則為㡭，	On the surface of the water they form a membranous texture.
得水土之際則為蛙蠙之衣，	When they reach to where the land and water join they become the (lichens which we call the) clothes of frogs and oysters.
生於陵屯則為陵舄，	Coming to life on mounds and heights, they become the plantain;
陵舄得鬱棲則為烏足，	and, receiving manure, appear as crows' feet.
烏足之根為蠐螬，	The roots of the crow's foot become grubs,
其葉為蝴蝶。	and its leaves, butterflies.
胡蝶，胥也化而為蟲，	This butterfly, known by the name of xu, is changed into an insect,
生於灶下，	and comes to life under a furnace.
其狀若脫，	Then it has the form of a moth,
其名為鴝掇。	and is named the Qu-duo.
鴝掇千日為鳥，其名曰乾餘骨。	The Qu-duo after a thousand days becomes a bird, called the gan-yu-gu.
乾餘骨之沬為斯彌，	Its saliva becomes the si-mi,
斯彌為食醯。	and this again the shi-xi (or pickle-eater).
頤輅生乎食醯，黃軦生乎九猷，瞀芮生乎腐蠸。	The yi-lu is produced from the pickle-eater; the huang-kuang from the jiu-you; the mou-rui from the fu-quan.
羊奚比乎不筍，	The yang-xi uniting with a bamboo, which has long ceased to put forth sprouts,
久竹生青寧，	produces the qing-ning;
青寧生程，	the qing-ning, the panther;
程生馬，	the panther, the horse;
馬生人，	and the horse, the man.
人又反入於機。	Man then again enters into the great Machinery (of Evolution),
萬物皆出於機，	from which all things come forth (at birth),
皆入於機。	and which they enter at death.
