The story of a man in Lu who couldn't get into the city with a pole.

There was a man in the state of Lu who walked into the city gate with a long pole. At first he stood up and held it, but he couldn't get into the gate. He came and hugged, but he couldn't get into the gate. I really can't think of a way. After a while, an old man came and said, "I am not a saint, but I have seen many things." Why not use a saw to cut off the long pole and enter the city gate? " So the Lu people cut off the long pole according to the old man's method. He is the stupidest person in the world. From China's first collection of jokes "Laughing Forest" (written by Ren Wei Han Danchun during the Three Kingdoms period). Laugh at both the Lu people with long poles and his inflexibility; I even laughed at my old father who saw the pole go to town and laughed at his cleverness as a teacher. The latter is not only ridiculous, but also harmful. This story has been passed down to the present, which has evolved into "catching fools" in Xi's "Exploring the Record" in the Qing Dynasty. full text
