     From: Han Feizi, circa 2^nd century BCE

     Shùn bī Yáo, Yǔ bī Shùn, Tāng fàng Jié, Wǔwáng fá Zhòu. Cǐ sì wáng zhě, rénchén shì qí jūn zhě yě, ér tiānxià yù zhī. [Pinyin]

   • 禹不偪伯成子高，全其節也；仲尼不假蓋於子夏，護其短也；近諸葛孔明不偪元直以入蜀；華子魚不強幼安以卿相。此可謂能相終始，真相知者也。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
     禹不逼伯成子高，全其节也；仲尼不假盖于子夏，护其短也；近诸葛孔明不逼元直以入蜀；华子鱼不强幼安以卿相。此可谓能相终始，真相知者也。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]

     From: c. 263, Ji Kang,《與山巨源絕交書》

     Yǔ bù bī Bóchéng Zǐgāo, quán qí jié yě; Zhòngní bù jiǎ gài yú Zǐxià, hù qí duǎn yě; jìn Zhūgě Kǒngmíng bù bī Yuánzhí yǐ rù Shǔ; Huà Zǐyú bù qiǎng Yòu'ān yǐ qīngxiàng. Cǐ kě wèi néng xiāng zhōngshǐ, zhēn xiāngzhī zhě yě. [Pinyin]

     Yu had not compelled Bocheng Zigao to take the post in order to help fulfil his moral integrity; Confucius did not borrow the umbrella from Zi Xia with the purpose of ignoring his parsimony. More recently, Zhuge Liang (courtesy name Kongming) did not coerce Xu Shu to join Shu Han, nor did Hua Xin (courtesy name Ziyu) impose the post of minister on Guan Ning (courtesy name You'an). Such actions exemplify the integrity of friendship that lasts from beginning to end, where true understanding prevails.

2. (historical) alternative form of 幅 (“leg wrap”)
3. (obsolete) to shrink away
4. a surname
