What does it mean to learn to walk in Handan?

Handan toddler is a metaphor for mechanically imitating others. If you don't learn from others' strengths, you will lose your original skills.

During the Warring States Period, people in Handan, the capital of Zhao, were famous for their graceful walking posture. A young man from Yan came to study. I found that people all over the street walk in different postures and are all beautiful. He learned from everyone, but no one learned. He also forgot the original way of walking and had to climb back.

Narrow lanes are the most expensive, and footbridges are wide and beautiful. "This is the antithesis in Handan Fu written by modern Ma Xinmin. In my opinion, the young guards came to Handan to learn dance steps similar to modern ballet style, not to walk. The youth guarding the mausoleum studied hard and jumped his feet to the point where they were swollen and couldn't walk. This spirit can't be laughed at, but should be praised. Even outsiders can warn people not to imitate blindly and lose their nature. But Handan people should never take this as a joke to those who come to study hard. Therefore, Handan toddler can also be regarded as a hard-working and selfless spirit, which is worthy of praise.
