Behavior (行為 [xing wei]) that goes against common human feelings (人之常情 [ren zhi chang qing]).
From Zhuangzi: Free and Easy Wandering (莊子 [zhuang zi]．逍遙遊 [xiao yao you]): "Vast yet without proper use, going and not returning. I was terrified by his words, which were boundless like the Milky Way (河漢 [he han]), widely divergent (逕庭 [jing ting]) and not close to human feelings."
From Chapter 11 of The Travels of Lao Can (老殘遊記 [lao can you ji]): "Now, disregarding heavenly principles (天理 [tian li]), not fearing national laws (國法 [guo fa]), and being unreasonable, acting wantonly (放肆做去 [fang si zuo qu]) in such a gratifying (痛快 [tong kuai]) manner—if it does not result in human calamity (人災 [ren zai]), it will surely lead to supernatural disaster (鬼禍 [gui huo])."
不近人情：行為不合人之常情。《莊子．逍遙遊》：「大而無當，往而不返，吾驚怖其言，猶河漢而無極也，大有逕庭，不近人情焉。」《老殘遊記》第一一回：「今者，不管天理，不畏國法，不近人情，放肆做去，這種痛快，不有人災，必有鬼禍。」
