The background of the original sentence:
Original Loam was an old acquaintance of Confucius. Once he sat there idly with his legs crossed, and was later seen by Confucius. Confucius himself advocated that "if you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand up", so the man who valued etiquette saw the nameless fire rising inside Yuan Yang, and immediately turned on the mode of anger and dislike. He said mercilessly and took up the cane to whip his legs.
