井 底 之 蛙
Jǐng Dǐ Zhī Wā
Direct translation to English: The frog at the bottom of the well.
What it really means: Narrow Minded
The story behind the Idiom:
There was once a frog that lived in a well and had never seen the outside world. One day, a turtle came to the well from the ocean. The frog saw the turtle and spoke to it, boasting about his well and inviting the turtle to come inside. However, the turtle was too large to fit into the well so he invited the frog to come out instead. When the frog stepped out of his well, he was amazed at the outside world and also ashamed that he had thought so highly of his well.
Use it in a sentence!
不 要 井 底 之 蛙!
bù yào jǐng dǐ zhī wā!
Don’t be narrow minded!
