The origin of this idiom can be traced back to ancient architecture and furniture design. In ancient times, the design of furniture and buildings often pursued symmetry and balance to reflect the beauty of harmony. If there are too many horizontal or vertical lines or decorations on furniture or buildings, they may be considered as design defects and described as littering.
Later, people used this idiom to describe any disorderly and irregular arrangement or development of things. For example, all the sundries in this room are littered on the floor, which is simply a mess. The traffic in this city is so chaotic that all the cars are parked on the road and can't move. This idiom can be used to describe the visual confusion and development confusion of things.
