This proverb comes from a conversation between Gao Yu and Confucius in Eight Thoughts, Volume II of Confucius' Family Tales. From this conversation, gaoyu expressed his three shortcomings and the story that he neglected his relatives because he was young. Confucius' students took this as a warning, and many people bid farewell to Confucius and went home to support their parents.
On the one hand, it expresses that many things in the world are independent of the will of people or things and have their own natural laws. It also expresses the Confucian concept of filial piety.
