Tips
usage
In ancient times a 党 was a neighborhood of 500 households and a 乡 a district of 12,500, so 乡党 meant one's home community. The word lives on in Shaanxi, where 乡党 is the everyday word for 老乡 'someone from back home'.
history
Book 10 of the Analects has almost no sayings. It describes Confucius's manners, clothes and meals instead, and gave Chinese the line 食不语，寝不言 'no talking while eating, no talking in bed'.
