The original sentence of "full loss, modest benefit" is "full loss, modest benefit".

Later, it was quoted by Ouyang Xiu in preface to biography of Lingguan in New Five Dynasties

Da Yumo, the book of history, said, "only virtue can move the heaven. No matter how far away it is, it is the way of heaven to be full of loss and modest to benefit." Therefore, we use "complacency gains while complacency gains" to show that complacency causes damage and modesty gains benefits.

Chen Shidao of the Song Dynasty wrote in the strategy of the imperial examination: "a gentleman is superior to others, but he does not use his strength. If he has the ability to transform, he will be loyal to them. Therefore, it is said, "if you are full of loss, you will benefit from modesty." Also known as: "modest benefit, full of loss.".
