The origin of Idioms

"Huainanzi · fanlun" says: "the Duke of Zhou is the king of Wen. There is no autocracy in his deeds, and there is no reason for him to do things. His body is too much for his clothes. If he does not export his words, he will hold on to the king of Wen. He belongs to his own cave, but he will not be able to do it. He is afraid of losing it
