A smile from the palace
Yigong Xiaojiao, a Chinese idiom, Pinyin is y ǐ g ō ngxi à oju é, which means to laugh at jiaodiao with GongDiao. It refers to satirizing and denying others with self righteous prejudice. It comes from new theory, Wenwu.
The origin of Idioms
In the new treatise on Civil and military written by Liu Chou of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is said that "today's people, who are martial arts, are not literate, and those who are literate, despise martial arts. They hold their own strong points and compare right and wrong. They are just like gongxiaojiao, not just the feeling of being competent, and they can get the truth."
Idiom usage
It's better to be clumsy than to do something. It's better to protect what's short than to ridicule what's good. The so-called people who use the palace to laugh and slander the youth with the white are called vulgar Confucians. Yuan Mei's Sui Yuan Shi Hua (Volume 5)
