What does it mean to add superfluous things to the situation?

The meaning of "adding feet to a snake" means adding feet to a snake when drawing a snake. It is a metaphor for doing something superfluous, which is not only useless but inappropriate. It is also a metaphor for making up facts and making something out of nothing. Generally used as an object in a sentence; it has a derogatory connotation. Superfluous is an idiom evolved from a fable story, which first came from "Warring States Policy·Qi Ce II".

Excerpts from idiom stories:

In ancient times, there was a family in Chu State. After worshiping their ancestors, they planned to give a pot of wine for the sacrifice to those who helped with the work. There are many people helping with the work. If everyone drinks from this pot of wine, it will not be enough. If only one person drinks it, there will be more than enough. How to divide this pot of wine? Everyone became quiet, and then someone suggested that everyone draw a snake on the ground, and whoever draws it faster will drink the pot of wine. Everyone thinks this method is good and agrees to do it. So, a snake was drawn on the ground.

The meaning of the idiom:

Everything you do must have specific requirements and clear goals. You must pursue and complete it with a clear and firm will, and do not be dazzled by victory. People whose minds are dazzled by victory are often blinded by blind optimism and lead to failure. This idiom warns people not to get dizzy and become complacent after achieving a little success. Adding extraneous details and deliberately showing off will only be self-defeating and lose the original advantages.

Sentence:

1. What was originally a successful speech failed because of the superfluous joke at the end.

2. Every time he takes an exam, he always writes a lot of useless words like superfluous words, making the originally concise and clear composition look cumbersome and cumbersome.

3. He is already very wordy, so it’s not an accident that he adds superfluous information.
