Explain: estimate, evaluate. You can't judge a book by its cover, just as seawater can't be measured by barrels.

Qin, an ancient oil dealer, fell in love with a famous prostitute with flowers as the theme. He was fascinated. Hua Kui also likes him very much. In order to raise a night's accommodation fee of 12 silver, he tried his best to save money, and even the guys in the silver shop felt it was shameful to judge a book by its cover. Later, Huakui jumped out of the brothel fire pit and married Qin Redo's wife. They have been in love all their lives.
Related: Feng Ming Menglong's "Wake up, Keep the Contract, Sell the Oil Lang to monopolize the flowers": "You can't judge a person by his appearance, and the sea can't be measured." In physiognomy, we should not only look at appearance, but also examine moral conduct, that is, care for each other. "Pure Yang Law" says: "Those who are not proud (ugly) are hard to tolerate." Its note: "Monk Hu said: Don't be disrespectful, white jade is hidden in the middle." If you can really know that there is evil in beauty and beauty in evil, then you won't lose in physiognomy. "In other words, a good fortune teller is not judge by appearances, but is good at finding the best in the garden." Gui Mang also said: "When you talk about form, you can see the leopard in the tube. "People who don't leave the form, don't stick to the rules, can't see or hear, and look good are also good." "Han Feizi Xianxue" said: "A surname is a gentleman's appearance, and Zhong Ni took it from him several times. After being with him for a long time, he stopped calling him that. ..... So Confucius said:' Take a person by the amount, and lose his feathers! "'Confucius's mistake in looking at people' is often quoted by later generations as an example that we must be moral at the same time.
