What's wrong with the father who went to town with a pole?

My father's mistake in "going to town with a pole" was that he was smart enough to cut off his long pole and enter the city gate.

From Han Danchun's "Laughing Forest": Lu Ruo has a long pole entering the city gate, but he doesn't enter it at first, but he doesn't enter it horizontally. There is nothing to do. I am not a saint, but I have seen many things. Why not use a saw? "So I cut it off.

Revelation:

"Leader who walks into the city gate": rigid, unable to think and flexible.

Old man: Be smart and be a teacher.

Moral:

Although this is a joke, this joke tells people a truth: thinking should be flexible, not one-sided and inflexible.

Han Danchun (about 132-22 1), a native of Yangzhai, Yingchuan (now Yuzhou) in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was born in wei ren during the Three Kingdoms period, also known as Zhu, Zi Shu, and Zi Li. Because of "Three Volumes of Laughing Forest" and "One Volume of Yijing", it is called "the ancestor of Laughing Forest". Chun has been famous since childhood. He is knowledgeable, versatile, good at writing articles and knows the words "Cang, Ya, Worm, Seal," and so on. Many people in Fiona Fang know his name. At that time, Han Danchun was a doctor. He once played the role of Emperor Wen in Fu for Throwing a Pot, telling the story of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and the way of monarch and minister. Han Danchun also wrote an inscription to teach Cao E, and Cai Yong, a great writer and calligrapher, took refuge in Huiji and praised the inscription "wonderful words". Han Danchun became famous not because his achievements were not to be boasted, nor because his articles were particularly good, but because his casual and leisurely works Laughing Forest and Book of Changes told many jokes, gimmicks, metaphors, sarcasm, humorous anecdotes and various popular entertainment items at that time, such as throwing pots, catching rice, throwing bricks, shooting horses, playing chess and eating food.
