In fact, this sentence comes from the "I Ching Ge Gua", and its original text also includes "Adult Tiger Change, Its Wen Bingye"; "Gentleman Leopard Change, Its Wen Wei Also"; "Villain Leather Face, Obedience to Junye"! In order to understand the meaning of these words correctly and comprehensively, we must first understand what the meaning of "Ge Gua" in the I Ching means.
"Ge Gua" takes the revolutionary revolution, it is also a revolutionary gua, is a gua containing great variables, such as the "Ge Gua Xiang Ci" said that "there is fire in the ze, revolution; gentleman to rule the ming dynasty." The so-called "fire in the ze" also refers to the incompatible meaning of water and fire, either water or fire, the contradiction between the two is irreconcilable, and there will inevitably be only one of these things left in the end, so this gua xiang also means changing dynasties or changing heavens and changing lives. For example, in the "Biography of Ge Gua Yan", it is said: "The revolution of heaven and earth is completed at four times, and the Tangwu revolution is in accordance with heaven and should be followed by people." The time of revolution is great!"

Speaking of "gentleman leopard change", gentleman refers to people with moral character and pursuit, leopards are very weak when they are young, but they are very fast and powerful when they grow up, and "Wei" means lush, rich, and vibrant. "Gentlemen and leopards change, and their Wenwei also", which means that gentlemen with moral character and pursuit should also change rapidly, let themselves thrive and get better and better, and their performance is magnificent, presumably Mo Wenwei took the name of "Wenwei", which is also the meaning, his father Mo Tianci is the founder of the Emperor's College, a cultural writer, this name or he took.
