"Referring to a deer as a horse" is a famous story about the Qin Dynasty's eunuch Zhao Gao, who deliberately described a deer as a horse in front of Qin II Hu Hai in order to show his power.
We sometimes joke that "a pig with a green onion in its nose pretends to be an elephant", because a pig with a green onion in its nose looks a bit like a baby elephant in terms of appearance and movement. This shows that although we are joking, we also have a certain amount of truth, and we will not say unfounded things indiscriminately, let alone repeat the joke of "pointing to a deer as a horse".
In real life, no normal person will regard mice and ducks as relatives, because they are not a class of animals at all, although they both belong to the phylum Chordates, but they are different from the beginning of the class. And in terms of intelligence, rats do have some resemblance to humans.
But some people stupidly think that the rat is a duck, thinking that the rat's head is the duck's neck, and this person is still wearing an official uniform, wearing an official hat, holding an official seal, speaking official language, and doing official things. He wants to rely on his own strength to "turn a mouse into a duck" and treat all 1.4 billion people in China as fools.
It's a pity that he is not Zhao Gao, he does not have so much prestige, and his boss is not Hu Hai, so he will not be unable to find out the truth. What's more, the eyes of netizens are bright and will never tolerate a grain of sand.
The "Referring to a Deer as a Horse" happened 2,200 years ago, could it be that someone from that era traveled to the present?It is true that some people are either bad or stupid nowadays, which requires us not only to stay awake at all times, but also to "stand up straight, do not lie down".
