Shudan Guan Posted October 12, 2023 Report Posted October 12, 2023 Once upon a time, a man was selling weapons on the street. He took a spear and said, “This spear is the sharpest, and it can break any shield!” Then he took a shield and said, “This shield is the firmest, and none a spear in the world can break it!” Someone asked, “What if you use the spear to hit the shield?” The man was speechless. [Annotation] 矛: Spear. 盾: Shield. [Definition] Of something that is self-contradictory. * If you are interested in Chinese folk tales or ghost stories, have a look at: https://chinesestoriesfolktales.quora.com Quote
