According to ancient Indian Buddhist scriptures, there was a small country in ancient India, and the king's name was King Mirror. He believes in Sakyamuni's Buddhism and worships Buddha and recites scriptures every day. He is very devout. But at that time, there were many witchcraft and witchcraft in China, and most of his subjects were confused by his preaching, which was not conducive to the governance of the country. King Jing wanted to convert his subjects to Buddhism, so he came up with an idea: educate and induce them with the appearance of blind people touching elephants. King Jing ordered his courtiers to say, "Find some blind people to come to the city." The messenger quickly gathered a group of blind people and took them to the palace.

The messenger went into the palace and reported to the mirror king, "Your Majesty, the blind man you ordered to look for has now been taken to the front of the temple." King Mirror said, "You will take the blind people to the elephant garden early tomorrow morning, so that each of them can only touch one part of the elephant's body, and then take them to the square in front of the palace immediately."

The next morning, King Jing called all the ministers and tens of thousands of civilians to gather in the square in front of the palace. People are whispering, and no one knows what important things the king is going to announce. Soon, the messenger led the blind man to the high seat of the king of mirrors, and the people in the square suddenly became quiet. The mirror king asked the blind man, "Have you all touched elephants?" The blind people said in unison, "I touched the elephant!" " "The mirror king added," Each of you tell me what an elephant looks like! "The blind man who touched the elephant's leg first stood up and said," Tell the wise king that the elephant is like a vat full of paint. " The blind man touching the elephant's tail said, "Your Majesty, elephants should be like brooms." The blind man who touched the elephant's belly said, "Your Majesty, elephants are really like drums." Later, those who touched the elephant's head said that the elephant was like a big spoon, those who touched the big ivory said that the elephant was like a horn, those who touched the back of the elephant's tail said that the elephant was like a stick, and those who touched the elephant's ears said that the elephant was like a dustpan. Finally, the blind man touching the elephant's nose said, "Your Majesty, the elephant is really like a thick rope." A group of blind people are divided into several groups, arguing endlessly, saying that they are right and others are wrong. One by one, they went to see Wang Qian in the mirror and argued, "Your Majesty! The elephant is really like what I said! " At this time, the subjects present laughed at this, and the king of the mirror also looked at the people meaningfully and laughed.

This is the origin of the idiom "the blind touch the elephant".

A Chu man crossed the river by boat and accidentally dropped his sword into the river. He quickly carved a mark on the side of the boat and said, "This is where my sword fell." After the ship docked, the man went into the water to look for the sword along the mark engraved on the side of the ship, but he couldn't find it for a long time. The ship has gone a long way, but the sword is still in its original place. Isn't it careless to carve a boat for a sword?

Metaphor is rigid, stubborn and inflexible.
