Etymology
[edit]From Zuozhuan:
- 君子之言,信而有徵,故怨遠於其身,小人之言,僭而無徵,故怨咎及之。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Commentary of Zuo, c. 4th century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Jūnzǐ zhī yán, xìn ér yǒu zhēng, gù yuàn yuǎn yú qí shēn, xiǎorén zhī yán, jiàn ér wú zhēng, gù yuànjiù jí zhī. [Pinyin]
- The words of a superior man are true and supported by evidence, so that they keep enmity far from his own person; but the words of a small person are false and without evidence, so that enmity and blame come upon himself.
君子之言,信而有征,故怨远于其身,小人之言,僭而无征,故怨咎及之。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
