Yi Yi: The ancients landed on their knees and sat on their feet, similar to kneeling. But the kneeling person is straight, and his hips are not as deep as his ankles. If your feet touch the ground, your hips droop and your knees stand in front, you are said to be squatting. Also known as squat pit. Sitting on the ground with your hips and feet stretched forward is called sitting on a dustpan. Squat down when you come down. Ancient Oriental barbarians sat like this, so they were called barbarians. Waiting for justice. Once you are gone, you will squat down and wait for you, and you will not go out to pick you up or sit up straight. Nothing to say: say, say what is right. People should know when they are young. Since it is a long story, it should be said that it is taught backwards.
