Definitions

臞

1. emaciated; thin

   • 吾入見先王之義則榮之，出見富貴之樂又榮之；兩者戰於胸中，未知勝負，故臞。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
     吾入见先王之义则荣之，出见富贵之乐又荣之；两者战于胸中，未知胜负，故臞。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

     From: Han Feizi, circa 2^nd century BCE

     Wú rù jiàn xiānwáng zhī yì zé róng zhī, chū jiàn fùguì zhī lè yòu róng zhī; liǎngzhě zhàn yú xiōngzhōng, wèizhī shèngfù, gù qú. [Pinyin]

     Whenever I went in and saw the virtue of the early kings I rejoiced in it. Whenever I went out and saw the pleasure of the rich and noble I rejoiced in it, too. These two conflicting attractions waged a war within my breast. When victory and defeat still hung in the balance, I was thin.
