Etymology[edit]
From the Analects, Book 7 (《論語·述而》):
- 子曰:「不憤不啟,不悱不發,舉一隅不以三隅反,則不復也。」 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: The Analects of Confucius, c. 475 – 221 BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Zǐyuē: “Bù fèn bù qǐ, bù fěi bù fā, jǔ yī yú bù yǐ sān yú fǎn, zé bù fù yě.” [Pinyin]
- The Master said, "I do not open up the truth to one who is not eager to get knowledge, nor help out any one who is not anxious to explain himself. When I have presented one corner of a subject to any one, and he cannot from it learn the other three, I do not repeat my lesson."
子曰:「不愤不启,不悱不发,举一隅不以三隅反,则不复也。」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
