Idioms and allusions

"Han Feizi" Volume 8 "observation of behavior" the ancients (know) eyes can not see their own (appearance), so they have to use a mirror to look after their face; (their wisdom) can not know whether they (do properly), so they have to use morality to correct themselves (behavior). Therefore, it is not the fault of a mirror to reflect the stain on a person's face truthfully. Morality and justice are used to show that people's behavior is negligent and should not be complained. Eyes do not rely on the mirror, people can not groom; their own loss of morality can not know their confusion. Ximenbao is impatient, so he often wears a soft and tough ripe ox belt to warn him not to be impatient; Dong Anyu is slow, so he often wears a tight bow string to encourage him not to be late. Therefore, those who can use the surplus to make up for the deficiency, and those who can use their strengths to supplement their weaknesses can be called Mingzhu.
