He is neither a donkey nor a horse(非驢非馬)
During the Han Dynasty in China, there was
a neighboring kingdom called (Youci).
The king of this kingdom married the
princess of Wusun Kingdom as his wife.
They all like the culture of the Han
Dynasty, and they also have close contacts with the Han Dynasty.
The kings of the Han Dynasty are as close
to them as a family.
They visited the capital of the Han
Dynasty, and they lived here for a year.
On the day they were leaving, the king of
the Han Dynasty gave them a lot of silk and jewelry.
After they returned to their country, they
added the features of the Han Dynasty that they liked to some of the buildings
in the palace.
They imitated the etiquette norms of the
Han Dynasty.
They improved their traditional clothing
and added many elements of the Han Dynasty.
They later visited the Han Dynasty many
times. After their death, their son succeeded the king, and their son also
maintained good interaction with the Han Dynasty.
At that time, some people from other
kingdoms commented on them like this.
These people said.
They can neither fully replicate the
etiquette of the Han Dynasty.
They have lost their original
characteristics.
They are like a mule. They are not donkeys
or horses.
This idiom means that a person is
nondescript. This is a derogatory phrase.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts

that country? How much do you know the culture of your own country?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
