Looking for bananas after a deer means: it is a metaphor to treat the real thing as a dream and make mistakes repeatedly.
Idiom story:
According to legend, in ancient times, a woodcutter in Zheng accidentally met a frightened deer. He was injured, but he was afraid of being seen. He secretly hid the deer in a dry pond and covered it with banana leaves. He is very happy. I soon forgot which dry pond I was hiding in. I thought it was a dream after looking for it for a long time, and I told passers-by all the way. Just as a passerby heard it, he found the deer and took it away as he said.
After returning home, the woodcutter didn't want to lose the deer like this. He dreamed of the place where the deer was hidden at night, and went to find the deer at dawn. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it, so he had to give up and thought he had the same dream. He either regards the real thing as a dream or regards the dream as a real thing. Later, he used the metaphor of "looking for bananas after deer" to describe being confused, confused or unpredictable, and getting lost again and again.
Enlightenment of finding bananas by covering deer;
This story shows the entanglement between dream and reality, and criticizes the greed for money and profit in human nature. We often get many things in our dreams, such as luxury houses, money, even power, beauty, love and so on. But we need to get them through appropriate channels. However, if our desire turns into greed, we will bear the consequences, or even return empty-handed, losing everything and paying double the price.
Therefore, in the process of seeking knowledge, we should have the courage to explore, be patient, persevere, constantly strive for our dreams and strive for perfection. Only by doing our own thing seriously can we hope to succeed and make our life more beautiful and brilliant.
