What does it mean to sit here and think you know?

Explain that this is because he reluctantly regards what he doesn't know as knowing.

Sit: Because, because. Qiǐng(qiǐng): This article refers to "reluctance". From the Ming Dynasty Jiang Yingke's "The Northern People Eat the Mausoleum". Moral: knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also. If you don't know, you will make jokes and be laughed at. The knowledge in the world is endless, and everyone's learning ability is limited. Only by learning with an open mind can we gain true knowledge.

The life of irony lies in truth. This short story not only follows the truth of life in plot conception, but also lies in the fact that the practices and performances of Beijingers are extremely universal and representative in real life.

Original introduction:

Born in the north, people who don't know about Ling are officials in the south, eating Ling at the table and eating Ling at the entrance. Someone said to him, "To eat water chestnut, you must remove the shell before eating." . The man defended his shortcomings and said, "I don't know, but the person who closes the shell wants to get rid of the heat." The questioner said, "Do you have this in the north? " ? " He replied, "which land is not the mountain behind the mountain in front?" ? "Fu Ling was born in the water and called it a local product, so I don't know what I think I know.

There is a northerner who has never seen a water chestnut since he was born. Later, he went to the south to be an official, and (once) everyone sat on the table and ate water chestnuts. The man put his shell in his mouth. Someone reminded him: "Water chestnut should be shelled." He tried to hide his shortcomings and said, "It's not that I don't know how to shell, but I want to use it to clear away heat!" " "

People asked him, "Is there a water chestnut in the north?" He said: "The front mountain and the back mountain are everywhere." Water chestnut grows in water but grows in soil, because he insists that he knows what he doesn't know.
