What does "seven out of eight" mean?

Seven is not to point out that there are seven things you can't go out in front of the door. These seven things are: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which are the seven things we usually say to open the door. People who used to go out were often the head of the family and the backbone of the family. Therefore, you must arrange your life at home before you go out.

Eight don't return means that after going out, don't go home without doing eight things well. These eight things are: filial piety, filial piety, loyalty, faith, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame. These are the eight basic moral principles of the ancients. Violating any of them is a shame to our ancestors and a shame to face our family.
