absentminded

The Chinese idiom, Pinyin, is Q í L ǘ m ì L ǘ, which means to ride a donkey to find another donkey. It originally means to occupy a position while looking for a more satisfactory job. Now it means that the thing is here, but also everywhere. It comes from the Song Dynasty's shidaoyuan biography of lanterns in Jingde.

explain

Ride the donkey to find another donkey. The original metaphor is to find a more satisfying job while occupying a position. Now many metaphors are in their own hands, but also looking for everywhere.

source

It's like riding a donkey and looking for a donkey. There was once a man named Wang San who drove five donkeys to the market to sell them and rode one of them himself. On the way, he wanted to count the donkeys. He found that there were only four donkeys. He was puzzled that the number of donkeys was still four. So he came down to count them again. All the five donkeys were there. It dawned on him that he was riding a donkey to find a donkey and forgot the one he was riding. Examples of idioms riding donkeys looking for donkeys is ridiculous. It's not a horse but a horse. Song Dynasty: Huang Tingjian's poem "send Huang Long qinglao"
