Confucianism -> Liji -> Qu Li II -> 123

天子The son of Heaven does not look at a person above his collar
or below his girdle;
the ruler of a state
looks at him a little lower (than the collar);
a Great officer,
on a line with his heart;
and an ordinary officer, not from beyond a distance of five paces.
In all cases looks directed above to the face denote pride,
and below the girdle grief;
directed askance, they denote villainy.
