Original allusions:
Some Chu people sold their pearls to Zheng, that is, Mulan's cabinet, decorated with cinnamon, pearls and jadeite, decorated with roses, decorated with feather clothes and jadeite. Zheng Guoren bought the jewelry box and returned the pearls. This can be said to be a best seller, but it is not a good pearl.
Translation:
There is a Chu man who sells jewelry in the state of Zheng. He carved a pearl box with precious Mulan, smoked the box with spices made of cinnamon pepper, decorated it with precious stones and jewels, connected it with beautiful jade, decorated it with jade and connected it with kingfisher feathers. A man from Zheng bought this box, but returned the beads in it to him. It can be said that this jeweler is good at selling boxes, but not good at selling jewelry.
The original intention of buying bamboo slips and pearls is to buy a wooden box with pearls to return. It is a metaphor that the buyer chooses improperly, and the secondary things are better than the main ones. Buying and giving back pearls is a derogatory term, and similar words are:
Put the cart before the horse, put the cart before the horse, oppose negative pay, put the cart before the horse, and make improper choices.
