context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.

慕藺 [mù lìn] [mu lin]—
During the Han Dynasty (漢代 [han dai]), Sima Xiangru (司馬相如 [si ma xiang ru]) admired Lin Xiangru's (藺相如 [lin xiang ru]) character and changed his name to Xiangru (相如 [xiang ru]). It is now used as an expression to deeply admire (欽慕 [qin mu]) worthy people (賢者 [xian zhe]). From "Book of Sui" (《隋書 [sui shu]》), Volume 77, "Biographies of Hermits" (隱逸列傳 [yin yi lie chuan]), "Cui Kuo" (崔廓 [cui kuo]): "I originally had no intention of emulating Yan Hui (希顏 [xi yan]), how could I have the heart to admire Lin Xiangru? I never gathered fireflies or used snow's reflection for light (聚螢映雪 [ju ying ying xue]), nor did I hang my head or prick my thigh (懸頭刺股 [xuan tou ci gu])."

慕藺:漢代司馬相如仰慕藺相如的為人,更名相如。今用為欽慕賢者之辭。《隋書.卷七七.隱逸列傳.崔廓》:「本無意於希顏,豈有心於慕藺!未嘗聚螢映雪,懸頭刺股。」

mu lin: han dai si ma xiang ru yang mu lin xiang ru de wei ren, geng ming xiang ru. jin yong wei qin mu xian zhe zhi ci. < sui shu. juan qi qi. yin yi lie chuan. cui kuo>: "ben wu yi yu xi yan, qi you xin yu mu lin! wei chang ju ying ying xue, xuan tou ci gu."
