What do people mean by taking millet and crape myrtle?

"Some people take millet and crape myrtle" is a common saying in China, which means that what one person does is understood by another person. Among them, "someone" refers to the person who does things, while "taking Wei Zi" is a metaphor, which means that another person can infer what this person is doing by studying Wei Zi's posture.

The proverb "Some people take millet and crape myrtle" is often used to accuse or ridicule other people's hidden behavior in daily life. For example, if others leave obvious clues, you can use "someone takes Xiaomi and Ziwei" to satirize that this person is not smart enough or hidden well enough.

Legend has it that in ancient China, a very rich man just bought a batch of millet and Wei Zihua. He sent someone to transport the millet to the market for sale, and took Wei Zi home on his return trip. However, his behavior was seen by others, because Wei Zihua can only be used for appreciation, but not for eating or selling. Therefore, some people use the metaphor of "taking millet and crape myrtle" to expose the illegal things that this person has done.
