麻木 [má mù] [ma mu]—
1. Medically, it refers to the complete loss of "知覺 [zhi jue]" (sensation/consciousness), divided into three types: "全身 [quan shen]" (general numbness), "局部 [ju bu]" (local numbness), and "部位 [bu wei]" (regional numbness).
From "《西遊記 [xi you ji]》" (Journey to the West), Chapter 40: "沙僧 [sha seng]" (Sha Wujing) heard this, was startled, and with his "渾身 [hun shen]" (whole body numb) said: "Senior brother, what are you talking about? We were sinful in our previous lives, but thanks to the persuasion of "觀世音菩薩 [guan shi yin pu sa]" (Guanyin Bodhisattva), she touched our heads and gave us precepts, changed our "法名 [fa ming]" (dharma names), and we converted to Buddhism."
From "《儒林外史 [ru lin wai shi]》" (The Scholars), Chapter 11: "Last night, I fell, "半身 [ban shen]" (half of my body was numb), and my mouth and eyes were somewhat crooked."
2. To mock someone who is insensitive or dull, unable to rouse themselves. For example: "不仁 [bu ren]" (numb and insensitive/apathetic).
