How shall it be said that you have no clothes? I will share my long robes with you.
The king is raising his forces; I will prepare my lance and spear, And will be your comrade.

Qǐ yuē wú yī? Yǔ zǐ tóngpáo.

猶子

/joʊ̯³⁵ t͡sz̩²¹⁴⁻²¹⁽⁴⁾/

/joʊ̯³⁵ t͡sz̩²¹⁴⁻²¹⁽⁴⁾/

Originally from a passage from the Liji (《禮記》) in the context of the proper rites of mourning:
Gradually the phrase was taken out of its original context and became idiomatic, despite (prescriptionist) objections from classical scholars. For non-idiomatic usages, see the individual characters 猶, 子.

今人呼兄弟之子為「猶子」，非是。

今人呼兄弟之子為「猶子」，非是。

The mourning worn for the son of a brother should be the same as for one's own son: the object being to bring him still nearer to one's self.

The Book of Rites, c. 4ᵗʰ – 2ⁿᵈ century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version

Sāngfú, xiōngdì zhī zǐ yóu zǐ yě, gài yǐn ér jìnzhī yě.

喪服，兄弟之子猶子也，蓋引而進之也。

丧服，兄弟之子犹子也，盖引而进之也。

His sons, young and old, lost their lives to the nephew.

Yu Xin, c. 578, The Lament for the South (《哀江南賦》)

伯兮叔兮，同見戮於猶子。

伯兮叔兮，同见戮于犹子。

Napoleon I betrayed the French republic and crowned himself Emperor; he ended up defeated and disgraced. Yet his nephew, Napoleon III, still brazenly followed his footprints to the ruinous end.

1916, Ch'en Tu-hsiu (陳獨秀), The Resurrection of Yuan Shih-k'ai (《袁世凱復活》).

Nápòlún Yīshì pòhuài Fǎlánxī gònghé, dìzhì zìwéi, shēnbài míngrǔ. Qí yóuzǐ Nápòlún Sānshì, réng míngmùzhāngdǎn, dǎo qí fùzhé.

拿破侖一世破壞法蘭西共和，帝制自為，身敗名辱。其猶子拿破侖三世，仍明目張膽，蹈其覆轍。

拿破仑一世破坏法兰西共和，帝制自为，身败名辱。其犹子拿破仑三世，仍明目张胆，蹈其覆辙。
