Etymology
editFrom Tao Te Ching:
- 金玉滿堂,莫之能守;富貴而驕,自遺其咎。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: Tao Te Ching, 4th century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Jīnyùmǎntáng, mò zhī néng shǒu; fùguì ér jiāo, zì yí qí jiù. [Pinyin]
- When gold and jade fill the hall, their possessor cannot keep them safe. When wealth and honours lead to arrogancy, this brings its evil on itself.
金玉满堂,莫之能守;富贵而骄,自遗其咎。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]
