| Kangxi: | 《康熙字典·勹部·二》勿：《唐韻》《集韻》《韻會》《正韻》𠀤文拂切，音物。《說文》勿，州里所建旗。象其柄，有三游，雜帛幅半異，所以趣民，故遽稱勿勿。《集韻》或作𣃦。又通作物。《周禮·春官·司常》九旗雜帛爲物。又《玉篇》非也。《廣韻》無也。《增韻》毋也。《韻會》莫也。《通志》勿，州里之旗也。而爲勿不之勿，借同音，不借義。《論語》非禮勿視。《朱註》勿者，禁止之辭。又《韻會》愨愛貌。《禮·祭義》勿勿諸其欲其饗之也。《註》猶勉勉也。又《六書正譌》事物之物，本只此字，後人加牛以別之。又《顏氏家訓篇》書翰稱勿勿，不知所由。或妄言此匆匆之殘缺者。及考《說文》乃知怱遽者稱爲勿勿。《東觀餘論》今俗勿中加點作匆，爲怱遽字，彌失眞矣。又《正韻》莫勃切，音沒。掃塵也。《禮·曲禮》䘏勿驅塵。 考證：〔《禮·祭義》勿勿乎其欲響之也。〕謹照原文乎字改諸字。欲字下增其字。響字改饗字。 |

| 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. | |
