Where does the jade for no reason come from?

The phrase "a gentleman never leaves his body for no reason" comes from the Book of Rites, which means that something so important to him should not be discarded casually for no reason, but should be cherished, not to say that he cannot leave his body. In fact, the deeper meaning of this sentence is to tell people that as a gentleman, you should maintain your good image and don't give up your moral bottom line casually.
