Confucius said: I heard the instrument of sitting, the virtual is the one, the middle is correct, the full is covered, and the Ming Emperor thinks that it is the most commandment, so it is often placed on the side of the seat. Gu Zhi disciple: Try to inject water. The water that is poured into it is correct in the middle and covered when it is full. The master sighed: Yu Drama! There are those who are full and not covered. Zi Lu Jin: Dare to ask the full Daohu?
