What is cleverness?

Cleverness generally comes from two aspects. One is that when we ordinary people talk about intelligence, we often contain some banter elements, without some excessive praise or criticism, and even some interesting elements. The other is that there is obvious irony in it, such as throwing watermelons to pick up sesame seeds, or describing a person who only pays attention to immediate interests or petty profits and loses longer-term interests, or a bigger pattern.
