Re #31

I remember reading some works of Confucius. He always talked about southern kingdom where people painted their body, wore not much clothes or wore some strange decorations.

That is probably how those from the North viewed the southerners, half naked barbarians wearing funny or weird stuffs. It almost gave the impression that he was describing tribal primitives. However, it is possible he was putting them down.
