As follows:

Short people go to the theatre, China idiom. The pinyin is m: m: i z ǐ kà n x, which means that he only agrees with others and has no opinion of himself. It is also a metaphor for not knowing much. From Zhuzi School, Volume 27. Just like a dwarf watching a play, he laughs when he sees the person in front of him laughing. Although he hasn't seen it, it must be very funny, so he laughs with him.

When a dwarf goes to the theatre, he always gossips with others. Zhao Qing's original poem "On Poetry": One eye must be alone, one after another, and the art garden says orpiment. The dwarf saw the play. This conversation is called shorty going to the theatre and going up and down with people. ("Wu Guang Hui Yuan Wu Zu Play Zen Master"

In ancient times, there was a town. There is a dwarf less than three feet tall in the town. He especially likes to join in the fun. One day, he was wandering in the street when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums and thought, "It's really lively. What is it for? " Go and have a look! "He followed the sound and saw a group of people gathered not far away. I don't know what happened inside, so he hurried to find out.

The dwarf wanted to go in, but there were too many people to squeeze in. He is too short to see inside even if he jumps up. "What's in it? What's going on inside? " He couldn't see it, so he had to ask the person next to him. "There is a scene going on inside." A man answered him. "Is acting? The acting is really good! " When the dwarf heard that there was a performance, he jumped for joy.

It must be very lively inside, with gongs and drums screaming and cheering. The dwarf stood outside and cheered when he heard others clapping. Hearing the applause of others, he also cheered: "It's wonderful, it's beautiful." Then passers-by asked the dwarf, "Hello! Is the play good? "

The dwarf solemnly replied, "Good-looking! Look good! " "Did you see it with your own eyes?" The man asked again. The dwarf said inexplicably, "Others say it looks good, and everyone is cheering. Of course it looks good! " "The man was very surprised. The dwarf didn't see the situation inside at all, and he didn't know whether the play was good or not. He just commented with others.
