In the past few days touring the Gentleman's Country, Jiang Li's biggest impression was its rigidness.
People lived in a predetermined manner, and everything they said and did was according to the teachings of the Confucian sage, with very little room for freedom.
It's like a carriage traveling on a main road. The main road seems wide and leads in every direction, but that's all there is, the carriage can only travel on the main road, not nearly as free as the pedestrians.
Pedestrians could play around in the roadside bushes, streams in the mountains, or the open farmland; they have more freedom than the carriage.
Jiang Li didn't know if the Gentleman's Country in the Confucian saint's mind was like this, but the Gentleman's Country in his mind definitely wasn't.
