What idioms did you misinterpret in those years?

"What idioms did you misinterpret in those years?" On this issue, let's see what these netizens say ~

The answer of the netizen named "Send a Netizen" is also very thorough:

Let me give you my opinion. Shall we fish in troubled waters behind closed doors? Is it true that only superiors can take over for subordinates? Can a rabbit die in sorrow and hope that literature can give a new explanation? It is a compliment to build a car behind closed doors and fill the wood in the forest according to the original text. So which one is "taking poetry out of context and taking what I want", and which one is using allusions and cannot be taken out of context? Whether to "get to the bottom of it" requires a unified methodology, and I think it is only better than inferior people. "If people don't cure him, his body can't be like him. It is not only the source of the original text, but also the most important value of China's idioms. If you let go of the upper and lower restrictions, you can replace five words with mild four-character idioms: do something for others and save one word, and the benefits of Chinese will be greatly reduced. Similarly, Wood also showed that in the forest, to be beautiful, you must be positive. Especially the "misuse" of this word, I find it hard to resist. As for the tip of the iceberg, I really think no one has the right to interpret it. It's sad that the rabbit died.

Let's take a look at what the netizen named "ashstrawberry" said:

There are many idioms that we gradually misunderstand in the process of using. Let me give you a few simple examples. You can see for yourself if you have misunderstood their meaning. Groundless: Many people don't understand whether there is wind or not. In fact, it was originally said that there would be holes, but now it has become something else. The original meaning is that the hole is the condition for the wind to come. When the wind is coming, there will be loopholes, which shows that the rumors have certain basis. Misreading: It is often misused to express unfounded things. Misreading: Now it is often wrongly used to describe the hot weather in July, which leads to a joke that makes sense to read literature. It is also easy to be misunderstood. Many people think that a person who can't see the whole cow must have no overall concept, or be short-sighted and so on. But in fact, it means that a person's technology is very skilled, handy and extremely skilled, which is a commendatory term.

Everyone praised it and supported the wonderful answer of the netizen with ID "Potato Commissioner". This is what he said:

Some are derogatory terms now, and in ancient times they were commendatory terms, and some have completely different meanings. Here are two examples of idioms that are derogatory now and commendatory in ancient times. Devil: In ancient times, the devil was used to describe the clothes worn by an official. For example, if you wear a crane and he wears a chicken, your rank is higher than his, so you are his superior leader. This is a commendatory word and an affirmative word. In ancient times, you said that a person was wearing Prada's devil wears Prada, which means that he was an official, and ordinary people could not wear clothes with animals. So, at that time, it was a compliment to a person. In modern times, I don't know why, but it may mean evolution. This word has gone bad. In today's dictionary, the devil wears Prada is already a derogatory term, expressing a person's glamorous appearance but evil heart. Everyone can do anything: as a woman, all the men in this world may become the husbands of this woman, while the father is born with only one blood relationship and cannot be compared.
