don't argue with the villain, just talk with the gentleman, let the wind and waves rise and fall, and sit on the Diaoyutai means that when communicating with others, don't argue with people with narrow minds and poor vision, but discuss higher-level issues with people with ideas and literacy. Just like sitting on the Diaoyutai, no matter how big the wind and waves are, you can remain stable and focused.
don't argue with the villain, only with the gentleman, and don't argue with the fool. Rather, arguing with the wise means not arguing with the low-level people about right and wrong, but discussing higher-level issues with people with moral cultivation and noble quality. When arguing with others, choose wise and intelligent people as the object of debate, rather than arguing with stupid people.
