The origin of Idioms
In Sima Qian's preface to the chronology of the six kingdoms in historical records of the Western Han Dynasty, it is said that "if you don't observe it, you will always laugh at it because of it, and dare not say it. This is the same as eating by ear."
Idiom usage
To be formal; to be an object; to be derogatory. Lu Xun's "not a letter" says: "although I have some" broken words ", it is mostly irrelevant." How can a wise man easily believe such fabricated words.
