# 河漢
## Chinese
### Etymology

The figurative sense “empty talk” is from Zhuangzi:
    肩吾問於連叔曰：「吾聞言於接輿，大而無當，往而不反。吾驚怖其言，猶河漢而無極也。」 [Classical Chinese, trad.]肩吾问于连叔曰：「吾闻言于接舆，大而无当，往而不反。吾惊怖其言，犹河汉而无极也。」 [Classical Chinese, simp.]From: Zhuangzi, circa 3rd – 2nd centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's versionJiānwú wèn yú Liánshū yuē: “Wú wén yán yú Jiēyú, dà ér wú dàng, wǎng ér bù fǎn. Wú jīngbù qí yán, yóu héhàn ér wújí yě.” [Pinyin]Jian Wu asked Lian Shu, saying, 'I heard Jie Yu talking words which were great, but had nothing corresponding to them (in reality); once gone, they could not be brought back. I was frightened by them; they were like the Milky Way which cannot be traced to its beginning or end.'
