To be simple

To be simple

The Chinese idiom, Zhu ó di ā ow é IP ǔ, refers to removing the carving and advocating simplicity; it also refers to rectifying the vulgarity of carving and returning to simplicity. It comes from the preface to the biography of cruel officials in the history of Han Dynasty.

The source of the idiom is "preface to the biography of cruel officials in the history of the Han Dynasty": "in the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, a broken Gu is a circle, a broken Gu is a simple one, and the name is a fish that has been swallowed by a careless man."
