Etymology
The 形而上 (xíng'érshàng) part is from I Ching:
- 是故,形而上者謂之道,形而下者謂之器。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, trad.]
- From: I Ching, 11th – 8th century BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Shìgù, xíng'érshàng zhě wèi zhī dào, xíng'érxià zhě wèi zhī qì. [Pinyin]
- Hence that which is antecedent to the material form exists, we say, as an ideal method, and that which is subsequent to the material form exists, we say, as a definite thing.
是故,形而上者谓之道,形而下者谓之器。 [Pre-Classical Chinese, simp.]
