Proverbs

瓜田李下 guā tián lǐ xià Avoid circumstances that give rise to false suspicion; if someone is seen near ripe melons or under a plum tree they are open to suspicion of theft. A longer form of the saying makes it clear that you should not tie up your shoes in a melon field or put on a hat under a plum tree as these actions are suspicious.
