Etymology
editAccording to Sima Zhen's Commentaries on the Shiji (《史記索隱》), the original meaning of 紹介/绍介 (shàojiè) could be understood in the light of the 禮/礼 (lǐ, “etiquette”) for audience. Before meeting in person, the guest passes messages to the host through a series of attendants who are called 介 (jiè, “intermediary”). The word 紹/绍 (shào, “continually, serially”) describes the manner in which messages are relayed.
- 平原君曰:「勝請爲紹介而見之於先生。」 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: The Records of the Grand Historian, by Sima Qian, c. 91 BCE
- Píngyuánjūn yuē: “Shèng qǐng wéi shàojiè ér xiàn zhī yú xiānshēng.” [Pinyin]
- The Lord Pingyuan said: "Please let me, Zhao Sheng, be an intermediary in the series and introduce him to you, venerable sir."
平原君曰:「胜请为绍介而见之于先生。」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
Reintroduced into Taiwanese Min Nan and Hakka from Japanese 紹介 (shōkai).
