The meaning of "Make friends with the right principles and cut off friends with unrighteousness": further thinking and sublimation of the original pursuit of "artistic life" and belief in the outlook on life of "truth and kindness begets beauty and beauty begets art". The story is thought-provoking as it rises to the realm of Buddha.

This sentence comes from a famous saying by Feng Zikai. The full text is:

Watch the right path, let go of the unintentional hand, make friends with the right principles, cut off the unjust friends, and drink. The tea of ??purity, the wine of the flower of abstinence, open the door of convenience and close the mouth of right and wrong. A small heart can accommodate everything in the world, a big heart can accommodate the things in the world; a humble heart loves the goodness of the world; a calm mind can discuss the world's affairs; a deep mind can observe the principles of the world; a steady mind should respond to the changes in the world. Don't be confused by your heart and don't be trapped by your emotions. Don’t be afraid of the future and don’t dwell on the past. So peaceful. Whether it is great or difficult depends on responsibility; adversity and good times depend on mind; whether one is happy or angry depends on self-cultivation; whether one is willing to give up or succeed depends on wisdom; whether one succeeds or fails depends on persistence.
