What idioms do you want in "The Carving of Insects"?

Carve a boat to seek (): Carve a boat to seek a sword

Pronunciation: kzh not uqiúJiàn

The book Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals is a metaphor that people's eyes are not synchronized with the development and changes of the objective world, and they don't know how to deal with problems according to the actual situation. It is also a metaphor for rigidity and inflexibility.

Lu Chunqiu Chajin: Chu (the title of Zhou Dynasty, whose capital is in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) waded into the river, and his sword fell into the water from the boat, pleading with the boat and saying, "It was my sword that fell." The ship stopped at the destination, and the Chu people jumped into the water from the marked place to find the sword. The boat did it (yǐ), but the sword couldn't. If you want a sword, it's not chaotic at all!

Translation:

There was a man crossing the river in Chu State. His sword fell from the boat into the water. He quickly carved a mark where the sword fell and said, "This is where my sword fell."

When the ship stopped, he went into the water from where he marked it to look for the sword.

The ship is moving forward, but the sword is not. Is it stupid to look for a sword like this?

fable

During the Warring States Period, a Chu man crossed the river by boat. When the boat reached the middle of the river, he accidentally dropped a sword he was carrying into the river. The people on board felt very sorry for this, but the Chu people seemed to have planned it long ago. He immediately took out a knife, carved a mark on the ship's side, and said to everyone, "This is where my sword fell into the water, so I want to carve a mark."

Although everyone didn't understand why he did it, they stopped asking him.

After the ship landed, the Chu people immediately launched in the marked place on the ship to catch the fallen sword. After fishing for a long time, there was no sign of the sword. He felt very strange and said to himself, "Isn't this where my sword fell?" I carved a mark here. How can you not find it? "

At this time, the people on the boat smiled and said, "The boat has been moving, but your sword has sunk to the bottom of the water. How can you find your sword? "

In fact, after the sword fell into the river, the ship continued to drive, but the sword would not move again. It's ridiculous to find a sword like him.

Moral:

Carving a boat for a sword is an idiom evolved from fables, which generally refers to sticking to dogma, sticking to conventions and being stubborn. Looking at the changing and developing things with a static eye will inevitably lead to wrong judgments. The Chu people in this article made such a mistake. The story that reveals the truth tells us that things in the world are always changing, and we can't do things subjectively. People can't stick to dogma. When the situation changes, the methods and means to solve the problem will also change, otherwise it will fail. Warn people not to look at problems one-sidedly, statically and narrowly.
