"Yang Bu hits the dog" is a fable in Liezi. This fable shows that once you encounter something, you should first see if you have done something wrong, and don't blame others immediately. Otherwise, like Yang Bu, it is not objective to blame the dog for biting him when he changed his clothes. Don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you.
