Comment: << review queue entry 78344 - submitted by 'pzelchenko' >>
Confucian term used in several works to characterize, in highly distilled form, the qualities of the noble person. Used extensively in basic study of Confucianism. Basically same as the just-submitted 一以贯之 entry.

百度百科 says "loyal, considerate, and forgiving"
Baidu tr. shows adj. "loyal and considerate" and n. "magnanimity" (cf. Aristotle megalopsuchia in N.E.)

Legge in 中庸 13 -- probably the primary source of the term -- renders as: "When one cultivates to the utmost the principles of his nature, and exercises them on the principle of reciprocity" ("...he is not far from the path").
