It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is said: a sage measures things by himself. Therefore, measuring people by people, emotions by emotions, categories by categories, arguments by achievements, and reputation were praised in later generations. Therefore, the story does not measure height, does not fully satisfy the need for power by identifying themselves with a limp. Yao and Shun had three hairs on their foreheads.

Or should they merely measure height and shortness, distinguish beauty from ugliness, and deceive each other with arrogance?
