Etymology
[edit]- 令則行,禁則止。憲之所及,俗之所被,如百體之從心,政之所期也。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Guanzi, 5th century BCE to 220 CE
- Lìng zé xíng, jìn zé zhǐ. Xiàn zhī suǒjí, sú zhī suǒ bèi, rú bǎitǐ zhī cóng xīn, zhèng zhī suǒ qī yě. [Pinyin]
- If there is an order, carry it out. If there is an prohibition on something, stop doing it. Wherever the laws and customs reach should [accept and abide by them,] just like how one's organs follow their heart, which is what politicians expect.
