Zheng Ren buys shoes to find a polysemy and says what it means correctly

Moral Meaning: It satirizes the kind of people who are conservative, stubborn, inflexible, and do not know how to take flexible countermeasures according to objective reality.

Explanation]: It is used to satirize people who only believe in dogma, ignore reality, and rigidly abide by them. The metaphor (doing things) is disregardful of reality, rigid and conformist.

Zheng Ren buys shoes:

In ancient times, a person in Zheng Guo wanted to buy a pair of shoes, so he measured the size of his feet at home. He came to the shop that sold shoes in the bazaar, looked at a pair of shoes, and was about to buy them, when he suddenly found that he had forgotten to bring the measured size at home, so he said that he had forgotten to bring the size, and he would go home and buy the size again, so he went back. The person next to him asked him, you buy shoes for yourself, why don't you just try the size, what are you doing not according to the original size?

Zheng Guo's man said, "I'd rather believe that I'm measuring the right size, but my feet aren't necessarily accurate." Later, people used the term "Zheng people buy shoes" to describe and ridicule those who do not look at reality and engage in dogmatism. This Zheng Guoren made the mistake of dogmatism.

He only believed in the size he got by measuring his feet, but not his own feet, and not only made a big joke, but he couldn't even buy shoes. And in real life, buying shoes only believes in the foot size and does not believe in the foot, maybe there will not be, right? But there are people like that.

It is a metaphor for some people, who speak, do things, and think about problems, only starting from the book, not from reality; He believes what is written in the book, and he does not believe what is not written in the book but actually exists. In the eyes of such people, only what is written in the book is the truth, and what is not written is not the truth. In this way, of course, the thinking will be rigid and the action will hit a wall.

1. Zheng Renmai admonishes people to be flexible and adaptable to things, and should pay more attention to objective reality and act from reality.

2. Story: Once upon a time, there was a Zheng Guoren who wanted to buy a new pair of shoes, measured the size of his feet in advance, but forgot to bring them to the market. So he went home to get his size, and by the time he returned to the market, the market was gone.

Describe people as dull and inflexible.

Zheng people buy shoes words**: There is a Zheng Guoren who wants to buy shoes, he first measured the size of his feet, and then put the size on his seat. When it came time to go to the market, he forgot to bring his measurements.

He had already got the shoes, so he said, "I learned that I forgot to bring the size of Lu Xiao of the good town." So I went home and got my size.

By the time he returned, the bazaar had already dispersed, and he didn't end up buying shoes. Someone asked, "Why don't you try on shoes with your feet?"

He said, "I'd rather believe in a good size than in my feet." ”

This story tells us to seek truth from facts, to be flexible, and not to stick to dogma.
