| Kangxi: | 《康熙字典·勹部·二》勿：《唐韵》《集韵》《韵会》《正韵》𠀤文拂切，音物。《说文》勿，州里所建旗。象其柄，有三游，杂帛幅半异，所以趣民，故遽称勿勿。《集韵》或作𣃦。又通作物。《周礼·春官·司常》九旗杂帛爲物。又《玉篇》非也。《广韵》无也。《增韵》毋也。《韵会》莫也。《通志》勿，州里之旗也。而爲勿不之勿，借同音，不借义。《论语》非礼勿视。《朱注》勿者，禁止之辞。又《韵会》悫爱貌。《礼·祭义》勿勿诸其欲其飨之也。《注》犹勉勉也。又《六书正譌》事物之物，本只此字，后人加牛以别之。又《颜氏家训篇》书翰称勿勿，不知所由。或妄言此匆匆之残缺者。及考《说文》乃知怱遽者称爲勿勿。《东观馀论》今俗勿中加点作匆，爲怱遽字，弥失眞矣。又《正韵》莫勃切，音没。扫尘也。《礼·曲礼》䘏勿驱尘。 考证：〔《礼·祭义》勿勿乎其欲响之也。〕谨照原文乎字改诸字。欲字下增其字。响字改飨字。 |

| To refrain from intercepting an enemy whose banners are in perfect order, to refrain from attacking an army drawn up in calm and confident array - this is the art of studying circumstances. It is a military axiom not to advance uphill against the enemy, nor to oppose him when he comes downhill. Do not pursue an enemy who simulates flight; do not attack soldiers whose temper is keen. Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy. Do not interfere with an army that is returning home. When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard. Such is the art of warfare. | |
