The story of the blind touching the elephant

China's 5,000-year-old civilization heritage has left us a rich treasure house of knowledge, and fable is a huge pearl in the treasure house. I think everyone has heard the fable that blind people touch elephants. What is this story about? A long time ago, four blind people wanted to know what an elephant looked like, so they touched it with their hands. The blind man who touched the ivory said that the elephant was like a radish, the blind man who touched his ears said it was like a big cattail fan, the blind man who touched the elephant's legs said it was like a big pillar, and the blind man who touched his tail said it was like a straw rope. But in fact, what they said is wrong and one-sided. This story tells us that we cannot look at things one-sidedly.
