四分律行事鈔資持記 1.817

1.817

丈夫者。《疏》云：男子通名；丈者，極形之量；孔子九尺餘，亦有一丈者。初科四句，初句志大，次句節高，三謂行有始卒，四即心無輕動；必反此四，雖是男子，則非丈夫；卓然，謂高立也。風霜喻衰辱危難等事。鏗，堅也。達，至也。

Regarding 'a true man' (zhangfu): The Commentary says: A common designation for a man; 'zhang' is the measure of full stature; Confucius was over nine chi, and there were also those of one zhang. The first section has four phrases: the first phrase means great aspiration; the second phrase means high integrity; the third means practices that have a beginning and an end; the fourth means a mind without fickle movement. If one goes entirely contrary to these four, even if male, he is not a true man. 'Lofty' (zhuoran) means standing tall. 'Wind and frost' metaphorically refers to decline, humiliation, danger, hardship, and the like. 'Keng' means firm. 'Da' means reaching.
