Etymology: From the Analects, Book 11 (《論語·先進》): : 子貢問：「師與商也孰賢？」子曰：「師也過，商也不及。」曰：「然則師愈與？」子曰：「過猶不及。」 [Classical Chinese, trad.]子贡问：「师与商也孰贤？」子曰：「师也过，商也不及。」曰：「然则师愈与？」子曰：「过犹不及。」 [Classical Chinese, simp.] From: The Analects of Confucius, c. 475 – 221 BCE, translated based on James Legge's version Zǐgòng wèn: “Shī yǔ Shāng yě shú xián?” Zǐyuē: “Shī yě guò, Shāng yě bùjí.” Yuē: “Ránzé Shī yù yú?” Zǐyuē: “Guò yóu bùjí.” [Pinyin] Zigong asked which of the two, Shi or Shang, was the superior. The Master said, "Shi goes beyond the due mean, and Shang does not come up to it." "Then," said Zigong, "the superiority is with Shi, I suppose." The Master said, "To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short."
