Etymology
Attested earliest in Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals:
- 夫執介冑而後能拒敵者,故非聖人之所貴也。君子顯之於服,而勇武者消其誌於貌也矣。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Dong Zhongshu, Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals, [2nd century BCE]. 2016 translation by Sarah A. Queen & John S. Major)
- Fú zhí jièzhòu ér hòu néng jùdí zhě, gù fēi shèngrén zhī suǒguì yě. Jūnzǐ xiǎn zhī yú fú, ér yǒngwǔ zhě xiāo qí zhì yú mào yě yǐ. [Pinyin]
- Those who are able to stop the enemy only after “grasping armor and helmet” [i.e., resorting to warfare] are certainly not those whom the sage prized. The Noble Man manifested this in his dress. The intentions of the brave and martial were vitiated [when confronted by] his appearance.
夫执介冑而后能拒敌者,故非圣人之所贵也。君子显之于服,而勇武者消其志于貌也矣。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
