英语解释

Quail: the tail of a quail is bald, as if it were mending a hundred knots. It refers to Zixia's poor life but unwilling to be an official. His clothes are ragged, knotted and draped over his body like a quail's tail. It describes people who are ragged and have a difficult life, but are upright and self-contained, and live in peace and contentment.
