Chinese term or phrase: 弧杠ぃ璶びеぃ璶び篊
Is this a request asking someone to speak at a moderate rate of speech, or is it a proverb on the nature of good speaking?

I suppose how one interprets it depends on the part of speech of 弧杠. Or is there some other way to recognize, how it should be interpreted?
