Is Emperor Hui of Jin really stupid or fake when he said, "Why not eat minced meat?"

In fact, it is not a question of true stupidity or fake stupidity, but a question of perspective, and then after some historical inheritance, it became something like a fable.

The environment in which a person grows up determines his knowledge. Some people may not believe something if they have never seen it in their lives. This is in line with what a normal person would do. This is an ordinary person. If another ordinary person were in that position, he would probably say the same thing.

And it is pointless for us to discuss whether he is really stupid or fake. Even if he is really stupid, we can conclude that Emperor Hui of Jin is particularly stupid. We will not learn anything. Instead, we have to analyze why. If this is the case, then this question of how it was formed is useful.

Emperor Jin Hui was a member of the royal family. Because of his family’s education and care for the royal family, Emperor Jin Hui may have thought that everyone had enough to eat just like him.

Look at some urban children nowadays, don’t they also think that eggs come from the refrigerator? It is only after someone tells them after going to school that they realize that eggs are laid by chickens. This is learning. The reason why Emperor Hui of Jin never knew about it was probably because his teacher didn't teach him this, and he was very willful himself. He only cared about having fun and had fun, without studying or researching, so he asked, don't they? Do you know how to eat meat?

The phenomenon reflected in this is uneven distribution, and also that a person's knowledge is affected by the environment in which he grew up. Only by learning a lot can a person understand the world. Rather than simply saying that Emperor Jin Hui is really a fool and doesn’t even know this, you see we all know that we are all smarter than Emperor Jin Hui.

The sense of superiority derived in this way has no meaning, but one must be learned.
