Why not give it a try?

Why not try it on? Why not try on these shoes first?

This sentence comes from "Honest People Buy Shoes", which was written by Han Fei in the pre-Qin period. Buying shoes by Zheng people is an idiom derived from fables in Chinese. This idiom tells the story that people can't buy shoes because they believe in "scale" too much, revealing the habit of Zheng people sticking to dogma and relying on data. Later, it was used to ridicule people who stick to the rules and don't pay attention to the actual situation.

It is not only an idiom, an allusion, but also a fable. It mainly tells the story that Zheng people can't buy shoes because they believe in "scale" too much. It reveals Zheng people's habit of sticking to dogma and relying on data. This fable satirizes those dogmatists who stick to the rules and shows that if you don't consider flexibility, you will eventually achieve nothing.

Appreciation of articles

In this article, Zheng people only believe in the size of their feet, but don't believe in their own feet. Not only did they make a big joke, but they couldn't buy shoes and became a laughing stock. In real life, people who buy shoes only believe in the size of their feet and don't believe in the things of their feet. People who only know how to stick to the rules and don't know how to be flexible may not exist. But there are such people. And quite a few.

Some people talk, do things and think only from books, not from reality; He believes what is written in the book, but he doesn't believe what is not written in the book but actually exists. In this kind of person's view, only what is written in the book is truth, and what is not written is not truth. In this way, of course, thinking will be rigid, and actions will easily hit a wall.
