"By
nature, literary and martial skills are a single virtue, and they
are not separate from each other. Just as the creation of heaven
and earth, completed in a single breath, has two elements of yin
and yang, so human nature, made of a single virtue, has two elements
of 'literary' and 'martial'. This means that having literary skills
without having martial skills is not truly being literary, and having
martial skills without having literary skills is not truly being
martial. Just as yin is the root of yang, and yang the root of yin,
literary skills are the root of martial skills, and martial skills
the root of literary skills."
Nakae Toju (1608 - 48)
