Discrimination: knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, is also knowing. If Qiang doesn't know, he will make a joke and be laughed at. The knowledge in the world is endless, but the individual's cognitive ability is limited. Only by learning with an open mind can we get true knowledge.

The life of irony lies in reality. This little story not only follows the reality of life in plot design, but also has universality and representativeness in real life. "Strong don't know think know" and "don't know pretend to understand" both mean don't understand but pretend to understand. Sometimes it can be changed. However, the meaning of "Qiang" is more important than "pretending to understand". Because he reluctantly took what he didn't know as a metaphor of knowing, strongly discriminated and defended his shortcomings.

Some people said: "to eat water chestnut, you must remove its shell before eating it." In order to cover up his shortcomings, the man said, "I don't know why I eat them together, but I want to clear away heat and poison." The person who asked said, "is there such a thing in the north?" He replied, "which piece of land doesn't have the mountain in front and the mountain behind?" Water chestnut grows in the water, but it is said that it grows in the soil. This is because he reluctantly regards what he does not know as what he knows.
