Explanation of the meaning of Handan Xuebu: Handan: the capital of Zhao State during the Warring States Period; Xuebu: learning to walk. It is a metaphor that if you fail to imitate others, you will forget what you originally knew.

The pronunciation of the idiom "Xuebu in Handan" is: hán dān xué bù. The synonyms of "Xuebu in Handan" are: parroting the tongue, imitating others, and forgetting one's ancestors. The antonym of "Xuebu in Handan" is: being new and original.

The moral is that blindly imitating others not only fails to learn skills, but also loses the original skills. It warns people not to blindly worship others. To learn, you can first imitate, but you must first carefully observe the advantages of others, study the key points why Handan people can walk gracefully, and then examine your own actual situation, so that you can learn from others' strengths and make up for your own shortcomings. If you are as blind as the Yan people and blindly worship others, you will definitely not learn the essence of others, but even lose your own.

Origin of the Handan toddler idiom: Source of the idiom: Zi Gohu! Moreover, Zi Du did not know that Yu Zi’s studies were carried out in Handan and Shouling (the capital of Yan State during the Warring States Period, in the north of today’s Hebei Province)? He did not gain the power of the country, and lost his old ways, and returned home on his knees. If I don't leave now, I will forget my son and lose my son's inheritance. ("Zhuangzi Autumn Waters")

Derived allusions: "Han Shu? Xu Zhuan Part 1": "In the past, there was a person who was learning to walk in Handan. He did not feel like it, and lost his old steps again, so he crawled on his knees. And return home." Later generations refined the idiom "Handan Xuebu" based on the above allusions.

Idiom analysis: "Handan Xuebu" and "东世 imitate one's fault" both mean to imitate others mechanically and backfire, but there is a difference. "Eastern imitation" focuses on blind imitation, which is counterproductive; "Handan learning to walk" focuses on mechanical imitation despite discovering the advantages of others, which does not succeed, but even loses one's own original abilities.
