According to the idiom allusions in Suoji

According to the full text of the story, the source is the biography of Han Mei Fu, and people who know horses in Bole must be familiar with Bole. And following the picture is a story that happened to Bole's son. Although the fable writer exaggerates a little. However, in study and work, it is really common to learn dogma by rote and apply it mechanically, which leads to jokes and losses.

Original story: Bole's "Xiang" has a saying that "the hoof sounds like a tired song for a long time". His son traded the Horse Classic for a horse and went out to see the big toad, saying that his father said, "Get a horse, just like that one, but the hooves are not as good as the music!" " Bole knew his son's stupidity, but turned his anger into a smile and said, "This horse jumps easily and is unbearable." -"Cutting Mountains with Art Forests"

Story: In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Sun Yang in the State of Qin, who was good at distinguishing the quality of horses. Just let him have a look, and he can know the quality of a horse. Because Bole is said to be the god in charge of horses in the sky, people call him Bole. In order not to lose his unique skills, he wrote a book called Xiangma Jing, which introduced all kinds of good horses with pictures and words. Bole's son really wants to learn the skills of Xiangma. He recited "Xiang Ma Jing" from morning till night, knowing it by heart. One day, my son proudly said, "Dad, I have learned all your skills about horses." Bole smiled and said, "Well, go and find a swift horse and let me identify it." The son promised and went out with the Horse Sutra, chanting: "Maxima's forehead is raised, his eyes are prominent, and his hooves are like wine cakes." As he walked and searched, he saw large and small animals, which should be compared with the standards in Xiangma Jing. However, some only meet one item, and some do not meet any item.

One day, he found a jumping animal on the roadside. He looked at it for a long time, and thought it was very similar to the Maxima mentioned in The Horse Sutra, so he tried his best to get it back and take it home. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "I found a swift horse." It looks similar to what is said in "Xiang Ma Jing", but the head is smaller and the hooves are almost the same. " Sun Yang was really upset when he saw that his son was holding a toad, so he had to answer, "Silly son, what you are holding is a toad, not a swift horse at all! You can't follow the map like this. If you want to learn the skills of horses, you have to go to see more horses and learn more about horses! " The son was ashamed and plunged into the herd to study horses.

Look at the picture to find a good horse, but mistake toad for a swift horse. In fact, it is all because dogma is mechanically memorized in study and work, which leads to jokes. We should study hard and inherit the book knowledge handed down by predecessors with an open mind. But we must pay attention to practice, verify in practice, firmly grasp and develop. This is the correct attitude. Nowadays, people use the idiom "following the map" to describe dealing with affairs mechanically and rigidly and looking for clues. Collect it if you like!
