The five colors make one blind, the five tastes make one's heart go crazy , the rare goods are a hindrance. The sage is his belly and not his eyes, so he goes to that place and takes this one.

Translation: If the light is too strong, the eyes will go blind; if the sound is too loud, the ears will become deaf; if the taste is too heavy, the mouth will become numb; if you indulge in materialism, you will go crazy; if you are materialistic, you will commit crimes. Because when it comes to governing a country in a humane way, it is not as simple as possible. Therefore, we should give up our absolute insistence on putting people first.
