Summer insects can't talk about where ice comes from.

It's from The Collection and Interpretation of Zhuangzi, which means: Don't talk about ice with insects in summer, they don't understand; Don't talk to the frog in the well about the sea, it hasn't seen and doesn't understand; Don't talk to ordinary people about profound knowledge of Tao, he doesn't understand.

Original text:

The Collection and Interpretation of Zhuangzi, Volume 6, Waipian Qiushui, Beihai Ruo said: Well frogs can't talk about the sea, but they are confined to emptiness; Summer insects can't talk to the ice, but also to the time; Qushi can't talk to Taoists, but be tied to teaching.

Translation:

Bohai Shenruo said: "You can't talk about the sea with a frog in a well because its vision is limited by its narrow residence; Insects who live and die in summer can't talk about ice and snow with it because its vision is restricted by the season; People who have little knowledge should not talk with him about the truth, because his vision is bound by his education.
