And here is ChatGPT's response:
The Japanese term 亢竜有悔 (kōryū yūkai) is a proverb that can be translated to "Pride precedes a fall" or "When the dragon rises high, there is regret." This proverb warns against excessive pride or arrogance that may lead to failure, disappointment, or regret.
In the proverb, the dragon symbolizes a person's ambitions, power, or success. When the dragon becomes too confident and overreaches, it risks falling from a great height and experiencing regret. The proverb emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance between ambition and humility, and being mindful of the risks and consequences of one's actions. |

A lit gloss for classical Chinese seems a bit odd to me. Better to have a proper translation. This is Richard Wilhelm's. |

Literal translation is "The dragon that ascends the heavens regrets doing it when it reaches the top"
It means that when you achieve great success you have to be careful or you may find your demise.
Thank you |
