披发左衽的意思是？

Considering ancient customs

I’m thinking about "披发左衽," which historically represents disheveled hair and cross-worn clothes, symbolizing foreign influence in antique Chinese culture.

Examining symbolic meaning

"披发左衽" conveys a lack of civilization and foreign influence, particularly referencing traditional Chinese clothing customs and conflicts with these customs. This symbol suggests actions seen as uncultivated or barbaric by those of Chinese tradition.
