Meaning
The notion that for every wrong done there should be a compensating measure of justice.
意思是以牙还牙，以眼还眼～

Origin
From the Code of Hammurabi. Hammurabi was King of Babylon, 1792-1750BC. The code survives today in the Akkadian language. Used in the Bible, Matthew 5:38 (King James Version):

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

Code of Hammurabi是汉谟拉比宝典，古美索不达米亚文明的巴比伦王国的一部法典，遵循“以牙还牙，以眼还眼”的原则。打瞎别人的眼睛，就必须被打瞎眼睛作为处罚；被别人打断了腿，就可以打断别人的腿作为补偿；甚至害死了别人的儿子，则他自己的儿子也要被处死。
