Confucianism -> Liji -> Qu Li I -> 28

Outside the curtain or screen (a visitor) should not walk with the formal hasty steps, nor above in the hall, nor when carrying the symbol of jade.
Above, in the raised hall, the foot-prints should be alongside each other,
but below it free and separate.
In the apartment the elbows should not be held out like wings in bowing.
When two (equals) are sitting side by side, they do not have their elbows extended crosswise.
One should not kneel in handing anything to a (superior) standing, nor stand in handing it to him sitting.
