severity in speech and fairness in principle -- as the utterance of an upright person
It is an idiom, which means that the words are severe and the meaning is just.
Words: words, language. Justice: truth. His words are stern and his righteousness is just. In Zhang Xiaoxiang's Ming Shou Zhao Fu Wen of the Song Dynasty, it is said that "the official script of Ou is not only excellent in calligraphy, but also strict in diction and righteousness. After thousands of years, the rise of those who see it is not enough to humiliate the public. This is also a gift." What's different is that he always has a flag and a way to escape. (Lu Xun's sequel to Hua Gai Ji: interesting news) usage: predicate, attribute and adverbial; same as "Yi Zheng Yan Ci"
