Everyone must be familiar with the saying "I don't know what to ask." This is a classic saying that has been handed down since ancient times. The saying is a summary of the life experience of the ancients. The saying is usually expressed in easy-to-understand words. Educating future generations can help us avoid unnecessary detours in our lives. So in life, we often hear all kinds of sayings. For example, today we are going to say "I don't know when I ask three questions." We must often hear people around me say this, but have you ever thought about it? Who are the three unknowns?
In daily life, we know that the sentence "I don't know when I ask three questions" mostly means being very confused. For example, when you ask someone something, the person doesn't know anything when you ask three questions and can't say anything, or when you ask that person what , and he knows nothing. Then there is another meaning of pretending not to know, deliberately not telling the other party, which means being wise and protecting yourself, and also meaning not knowing what is going on, what is going on, and why.
In fact, this old saying originally came from the book "Zuo Zhuan". During the Spring and Autumn Period, it was about Xun Yao of Jin State who led the army to attack Zheng State . Xun Wenzi believed that the attack of a benevolent gentleman Strategy means that the beginning, middle, and final end (i.e., "beginning and intention") must be clear, and only then can we attack. If we don't know these three parts of the strategy, wouldn't it be difficult to attack?
Therefore, it can be understood from this passage that the "three ignorances" refer to the complete ignorance of the beginning, middle, and ending.
But with the development and evolution of time, now when we just ask someone, the other person can't explain the reason, is very confused or ignorant, and it has become the phrase we often use in our daily life.
Summary: Although this sentence has changed its original meaning, it is now widely used. It is often used to criticize and ridicule those who do not work seriously and do not understand the actual situation. They are often said to be ignorant of everything they ask. Seeing this, do you understand what I mean by asking three questions and not knowing?
