Basic information
Title: shorter feet and longer inches.
Sometimes a foot may prove short and an inch may prove long-everyone has his strengths and weaknesses.
Pinyin: ch ch ǐ y ǐ u su ǐ u du ǐ n m n, c ǖ cǖcün yǎu suǎu suǎu nɡ u n ?
Interpretation: short: insufficient; L: More than enough. To make a metaphor, everyone has his own advantages and disadvantages, each with its own merits. No one is full of advantages and no one is full of disadvantages.
Source: Qu Yuan's "Buju" in the Chu Ci of the Warring States Period: "The husband's feet are short, the inches are long, and the things are insufficient. If you don't know your wisdom, you can't catch it, and God is unreasonable. "
Ex.: But the ancients said, "The feet are short and the inches are long." As long as we try our best to help the king, there will always be a way. (Yao's Li Zicheng, Volume II, Chapter 48)

original text
Ganwu sent people to the state of Qi and crossed the river. The boatman said, "The river is between the ears. You can't cross the river alone. Can you speak for the king? " Gan Wudao: "Otherwise. You don't know. There are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and they are willing to treat each other with sincerity, but the victims do not need soldiers; It is better for Xiao Li to catch mice in the palace, away from Wan Li. It's better to be a good general, famous all over the world, and a craftsman is not as good as an axe. Today, I am not as good as a child; It is said that the king of a thousand riders and the Lord of a thousand riders are not as good as Wu. " (Excerpted from Buju)

Ganwu went to Qi State and crossed a big river. The boatman said, "This river is a small gap. You can't get through it yourself. Can you still lobby the monarch? " Gan Wu replied, "No, you don't understand. Everything has its own merits. Cautious, honest and kind courtiers can let them serve the monarch, but they can't be asked to lead troops to fight; A good horse like Ma can walk Wan Li Road in one day. If you put them in the house and let them catch mice, they can't catch up with a little wild cat. A good general can be regarded as a sword, which is famous all over the world, but carpenters can't compare with an ordinary axe when they use it for woodworking. Now, rowing with paddles and letting the boat go with the flow, I am not as good as you; However, you are not as good as me in lobbying the monarchs of small countries and big countries. "

Detailed explanation: although the ruler is longer than an inch, it will also have its shortcomings; Although the inch is shorter than the ruler, it also has its advantages. This sentence means that everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. We should be good at learning from others' strengths and make up for our own shortcomings.

Related story: A lamb met a tall camel, and the camel was hungry. So it looked up and ate the leaves on the tree, very happy. The lamb was jealous when he saw it. He saw that the tree was too high to jump down. At this time, the lamb and the camel found many fresh grass in a wooden fence at the same time. The camel is embarrassed because it is too high to eat grass, but it can't eat this grass. This time, the lamb smiled and got into the wooden fence and had a hearty meal, leaving the camel in a daze outside the wooden fence.
This story has been circulating for hundreds of years, but it has not disappeared, because it tells people that no one is perfect. Everyone has his own shortcomings and advantages. Whenever we meet others, we should discover and learn their advantages, instead of discovering their shortcomings and laughing at irony.
