Etymology
editFrom I Ching, Hexagram 30 (《易经·離卦》):
- 九四:突如其來如,焚如,死如,棄如。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: I Ching, 11th – 8th century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Jiǔ sì: tū rú qí lái rú, fén rú, sǐ rú, qì rú. [Pinyin]
- The fourth NINE, undivided, shows the manner of its subject's coming. How abrupt it is, as with fire, with death, to be rejected (by all)!
九四:突如其来如,焚如,死如,弃如。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, simp.]
