大有逕庭 [dà yǒu jìng tíng] [da you jing ting]—
This phrase originates from "Free and Easy Wandering" (逍遙遊 [xiao yao you]) in the Zhuangzi (莊子 [zhuang zi]): "I heard words from Jieyu (接輿 [jie yu]), vast but without substance (大而無當 [da er wu dang]), going and not returning (往而不返 [wang er bu fan]). I was terrified (驚怖 [jing bu]) by his words, like the Milky Way (河漢 [he han]) and boundless (無極 [wu ji]). There was a great divergence, not close to human reason (不近人情 [bu jin ren qing])." Tang Dynasty (唐 [tang]) scholar Cheng Xuanying's (成玄英 [cheng xuan ying]) commentary (疏 [shu]) states: "This means Jieyu's (接輿 [jie yu]) words did not conform to common customs (不偶於俗 [bu ou yu su]), had many excesses (過差 [guo cha]), did not adhere to worldly sentiments (不附世情 [bu fu shi qing]), and therefore his grand words (大言 [da yan]) did not conform to reason (不合於理 [bu he yu li])." It describes how each other's words and actions (言行 [yan xing]) are completely different (截然不同 [jie ran bu tong]) and very far apart (相差甚遠 [xiang cha shen yuan]). In Liu Kezhuang's (劉克莊 [liu ke zhuang]) "Letter to Zhuxi Lin Zhongshu" (與竹溪林中書書 [yu zhu xi lin zhong shu shu]) from the Song Dynasty (宋 [song]): "The poems (詩 [shi]) for Feiyue Pavilion (飛躍亭 [fei yue ting]) that you recorded and showed me, each poem has the intent of soaring and leaping (飛躍意 [fei yue yi]). Compared to the grandiloquent discourse (高談闊論 [gao tan kuo lun]) of the various worthies (諸賢 [zhu xian]) in the collection, who earnestly (諄諄然 [zhun zhun ran]) explain difficult and obscure words (費隱字 [fei yin zi]) and the phrases 'do not forget, do not over-cultivate/force growth' (勿忘勿助長 [wu wang wu zhu zhang]), which are completely unrelated (全無相關 [quan wu xiang guan]) to soaring and leaping (飛躍 [fei yue]), there is a great divergence." Also written as "大相逕庭 [da xiang jing ting]" (dà xiāng jìng tíng) or "大相徑庭 [da xiang jing ting]" (dà xiāng jìng tíng). The character 庭 [ting] (tíng) was formerly pronounced ㄊㄧㄥˋ (tìng).
