This famous saying comes from the Book of Changes, and the original text is as follows:

Great joy is easy to slip up, great anger is easy to be rude, great fear is easy to lose face, great joy is easy to be overlooked, great fear is easy to lose honor, great thinking is easy to lose love, great drunkenness is easy to lose morality, great talk is easy to break faith, and great desire is easy to lose life.

If you talk too much, you will lose your manners, especially when you are happy, when you are particularly angry, when you are particularly surprised, when you are particularly sad, when you are particularly happy, you will lose your face, when you are particularly afraid, you will lose your bottom line, when you think too much, you will lose your love, get drunk and lose your virtue. It is often said that if you talk too much, you will lose your integrity and if you indulge too much, you will lose your life.

Extended information:

Zhouyi is the oldest book in China, which was written in the Western Zhou Dynasty. At first, the purpose of compiling this book was to facilitate the retrieval of good or bad results when counting. During the Warring States period, some Confucian scholars systematically sorted out a number of works explaining Zhouyi and compiled them into books. In the Han Dynasty, when Confucianism was the only respect, Zhouyi was regarded as a Confucian classic and became a specialized knowledge studied by Confucian scholars, which was Yi-ology.

The classics, biography and learning of Zhouyi have always been the core position of China's feudalism, which has become the theoretical basis for people to observe the universe, exercise their thinking ability and construct a philosophical system, and plays an irreplaceable role in forming the characteristics of China culture and enhancing the connotation of China culture. In the long history of Chinese civilization in China, Zhouyi is a book with the most profound influence on Chinese culture, but it is also a book with the most mysteries.
