箕风毕雨 — “Originally”

箕风毕雨 is a Chinese idiom (chengyu) meaning “originally”. It metaphorically referred to people having differing preferences or opinions, much like how the constellations Ji and Bi were believed to bring contrasting weather (wind and rain). Later, and more commonly, it is used to commend a leader or administrator for being attentive to the people's feelings and needs, showing empathy and responding thoughtfully. Literally, “Wind from Ji, rain from Bi (Ji and Bi are constellations)”.
