Jiujing Yinzu is a Chinese word, and its pinyin is Ji ù J ī ngy ǐ NZ ú, which means to save the hanged person but pull his foot. It means that action is opposite to the end, and the more you do, the farther away you are from the end.
Explanation: pull; Sutra: Hang. But the man who saved the hanging went to pull his feet. His source is Xunzi Zhongni: "ambition can't help being traitorous, and behavior can't help being traitorous. To seek the name of a gentleman and a sage is to create the heaven and save the Scriptures and lead the feet." In the book of pilingji by Zhang Shou of the Song Dynasty, it is said that "instead of setting up dozens of instructors, what's the difference between setting up the north yuan for Chu and guiding the foot for rescuing the classics?"
