If you stick to the world and discuss it, few people will doubt it. (I heard that people who come out of remote alleys like to be strange, and people with little knowledge like sophistry. The things that ignorant people laugh at are exactly the things that smart people feel sad about. The things that arrogant people are happy with are just the things that make them sad. Talented people are worried about those comments that are stuck in secular prejudices. I am no longer confused by them) - Shang Yang's "Shang Jun Shu·Gengfa" 5.
