阿堵物

/ˀä⁵⁵ tu²¹⁴⁻²¹ u⁵¹/

/ˀä⁵⁵ tu²¹⁴⁻²¹ u⁵¹/

In reference to an anecdote attributed to Wang Yan (aka Yifu, 256–311) in the New Account of the Tales of the World (5th century), who was said to have a morbid taboo against money and the mere mentioning of it

Wang Yifu, a highly refined and profoundly spiritual person, disapproved of his wife's "worldly greed", and he refrained from uttering any word that referred to money. His wife, determined to try him, made a maidservant encircle his couch with coins and thus trapped him inside. When Yifu awoke the next morning and saw the coins blocking his way, he called aloud to the maid and said: "Take away these stuff."

Liu Yiqing (editor), A New Account of the Tales of the World, 5ᵗʰ century CE

Wáng Yífǔ yǎ shàng xuán yuǎn, cháng jí qí fù tānzhuó, kǒu wèicháng yán “qián” zì. Fù yù shìzhī, lìng bì yǐ qián rǎo chuáng, bùdé xíng. Yífǔ chénqǐ, jiàn qián hé xíng, hū bì yuē: “Jǔ què ādǔwù.”

王夷甫雅尚玄遠，常嫉其婦貪濁，口未嘗言「錢」字。婦欲試之，令婢以錢遶床，不得行。夷甫晨起，見錢閡行，呼婢曰：「舉卻阿堵物。」
