Etymology
From Mencius:
孟子曰：「《春秋》無義戰。彼善於此，則有之矣。征者上伐下也，敵國不相征也。」
孟子曰：「《春秋》无义战。彼善于此，则有之矣。征者上伐下也，敌国不相征也。」 - From: Mencius, c. 4th century BCE
- Mèngzǐ yuē: ““chūnqiū” wú yìzhàn. Bǐ shàn yú cǐ, zé yǒu zhī yǐ. Zhēng zhě shàng fá xià yě, díguó bù xiàng zhēng yě.”
- Mencius said: "In the Spring and Autumn there was no just war. There were instances of better wars than others. Correction is when the overlord/superior punishes the underlings/inferiors. Rivalling states do not correct each other."
