Show that you are a gentleman and sit still.

Sitting in your arms means that when men and women get along, even if women sit in their arms, men will not be indecent. Later, it was used to describe that when men get along with women, they have a decent manner. This idiom is often used as predicate, attribute and complement in sentences, and is used for commending.

Who's Liu Xiahui?

Also known as the Qin, the original name, the stone, the fire, and the word. He was a famous thinker and educator in ancient China. His allusion of "sitting without chaos" is widely circulated, which makes him a model figure in China's traditional morality. It had a far-reaching influence on that time and later generations, and Mencius respectfully called him "He Sheng".

Liu Xiahui is a person's name, a well-documented figure in history, and probably exists. Combined with the topic, it is the story of Liu Xiahui's meditation recorded in the Outline of Xunzi. It is said that a man named Liu Xiahui met a woman on a cold night. When he saw that the woman was deformed by cold, he wrapped her tightly with his clothes without any overstepping behavior.

In ancient times, women valued honor more than anything else. How could they boast that they had spent the night alone with a man? If it is true, it would be incredible. Suppose something really happened in Liu Xiahui, why was it praised later? At that time, we could tell the whole story to prevent future generations from misunderstanding. Why did we let that woman sit in Liu Xiahui's arms even if she was alone in the same environment?

The origin of this allusion is to sit and not mess.

It is said that one summer, Liu Xiahui left home to look for friends, but it suddenly rained heavily on the way. He had to go to an ancient temple nearby to take shelter from the wind and rain.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw a naked woman wringing wet clothes. Liu Xiahui hurried out of the door, and there was an ancient locust water outside. He stood under the water of locusts and let the rain hit him without entering the temple house. When the woman in the room saw it, she quickly put on wet clothes.

This story extends from "Huai" of Sophora japonica to "Huai", which is the allusion of "sitting with open arms".
