Generally speaking, from the perspective of cultural anthropology, "quality" refers to people's simple nature, and "culture" refers to the accumulation of culture. Then, "quality is higher than literature" means that people without culture will be as rude and backward as primitive people. "Literature wins quality history" means that after the excessive development of culture, human beings lose their original pure essence and appear vain and rootless, so they should be "gentle" and the development of culture should be adapted and coordinated with human nature.
In short, from the perspective of personal accomplishment, "quality" refers to simple quality, and "culture" refers to cultural accomplishment. Then, "writing is not as good as quality" means that a person will be vulgar without cultural accomplishment; "Quality trumps history" means that if a person is too elegant, he will look like a sour scholar and a bookworm, paying attention to complexity and being unrealistic. The so-called "nothing goes to the three halls" is a typical "history of literature and quality", forgetting the essence of being a man. Therefore, to be "gentle", we must have cultural literacy and not lose our nature. Only in this way can we be called a real gentleman.
Broadly speaking, "gentleness" can also be exerted from the aspects of writing, art, aesthetic content and form, internal beauty and external beauty, simplicity and decoration. Understanding and development make "literature" and "quality" a pair of categories with rich connotation, extensive extension and in-depth research. Of course, all this is beyond our discussion here.
Simply put, the content should match the form.
