What do you mean by linen clothes?

"Ma Yili" is an old saying in the traditional culture of China, which is usually used to describe a person's demeanor and temperament. Hemp incense originally refers to the linen clothes worn by Buddhist monks when they walk, representing a poor and simple attitude towards life. However, in ancient society, it was generally believed that monks wearing linen clothes had superb wisdom, cultivation and temperament, so the word "linen clothes" became a commendatory term. It is usually used to describe a person who is well-behaved, modest and introverted, sophisticated and has a gentle and harmonious atmosphere.

In modern society, flax appearance is still a very respected quality. Whether at work or in life, people in linen are often more popular with colleagues and friends. They are used to being low-key and calm in life, and handling things more safely and properly. They are usually those who don't express their opinions easily, but they will definitely consider and make wise suggestions. They will try their best to control their emotions and behaviors in a moderate range, so as to gain inner peace and external recognition.

Respect, goodwill and modesty are the key elements in the quality of "ant fragrance". It embodies the self-cultivation in China culture and is undoubtedly an important quality we need in contemporary society. In a pluralistic and collectivized society, full of competition and conflict, people are always easy to lose themselves and become impetuous. At this time, we can seek inspiration from "Ma Yixiang" and strive to be a person who is modest and kind inside and outside, keeps inner harmony and calmness, and can respect other people's opinions when they disagree. This improvement of spirit and quality is not only conducive to the growth of individuals, but also has a far-reaching impact on the progress of the whole group and society.
