Idiom story 1: Handan was the capital of Zhao in the Warring States Period. It is said that people in this place walk in a particularly beautiful way. A young man from Yan took the trouble to come to Handan to learn to walk.

While observing the walking posture of Handan people, he learned to imitate. But in a few days, he couldn't hold on. The more he studied, the more awkward he became, and the more unnatural he walked. Not only did I not learn to walk in Handan, but I forgot my original walking movements. I had to climb back to Yan. Handan toddler: toddler: learning to walk is a metaphor for mechanically copying others and joking.

Idiom Story 2: During the Warring States Period, a businessman from the State of Chu went to Zheng to sell jewelry. He made a box out of good wood, smoked it with spices, carved a vivid rose pattern, inlaid with jade, pearls and jade ornaments, dressed it up extremely exquisitely, and then put an extremely precious pearl in it.

Here comes a buyer. He saw the box and liked it very much. So he bought it. However, the buyer opened the box, took out the pearls and returned them to the merchant, leaving only with the box. Buy bamboo slips and return them to pearls-bamboo slips: wooden cases. Metaphor, or improper choice.
