Etymology
From the Records of the Three Kingdoms:
- 呂布勇而無謀,今三戰皆北,其銳氣衰矣。三軍以將為主,主衰則軍無奮意。 [Literary Chinese, trad.]
- From: Chen Shou, Records of the Three Kingdoms, circa 3rd century CE
- Lǚ Bù yǒng'érwúmóu, jīn sānzhàn jiē běi, qí ruìqì shuāi yǐ. Sānjūn yǐ jiāng wèi zhǔ, zhǔ shuāi zé jūn wú fènyì. [Pinyin]
- Lü Bu is all brawn and no brains, now he has fought thrice yet been beaten all three times; his morale has dwindled. The three armies look towards their general for leadership; when the leader dwindles, the armies surely shall not have the will to fight.
吕布勇而无谋,今三战皆北,其锐气衰矣。三军以将为主,主衰则军无奋意。 [Literary Chinese, simp.]
