People say, why don't you try? They said, "Better reliability, less self-confidence" also means this sentence.

Someone asked, "Why don't you try on your shoes with your feet?" He said, "I would rather believe in size than my own feet."

This sentence comes from "A righteous man buys shoes" in Zuo Zhuan, everything is done wrong, which is a fable in the pre-Qin era. The main story is that Zheng people can't buy shoes because they only believe in "scales" and don't try them on themselves.

Original text:

If Zheng people have shoes, they should first get their feet up and sit on them. Go to town and forget to fuck it. When he finished his duty, he said, "I forgot my endurance!" " "On the contrary, take it. On the contrary, the city, hence (Su) shall not be fulfilled.

People say, "Why not try?"

Yue: "? ng (? ng) is reliable and has no confidence."

Explanation:

Once upon a time, there was a Zheng man who wanted to buy a new pair of shoes. He measured his feet in advance and put the measured size on the seat. (Zheng Guoren) When I arrived at the market, I forgot to take measurements. (Zheng Guoren) I picked out my shoes and found out, "I forgot my size." Just go home and get the measurements. When he returned to the market, the market had already dispersed, and no one bought shoes at last.

Someone asked, "Why don't you try on your shoes with your own feet?"

He replied, "I would rather trust the measured size than my own feet."

This story is actually a satire on dogmatists who stick to the rules. If they are confined to dogmatic conventions, they will accomplish nothing in the end.
