Walking With The Tengu

Zhuangzi: A Frog In A Well


Listen Later

We have another story from the Zhuangzi today. About a little frog in a well and a turtle who tells him of something impossible called "the ocean." I also give you a bonus Chinese idiom known as a cheng yu that I think works well in English too.

坐井觀天 - zuò jǐng guān tiān - Which I might translate as: "To sit in a well and look at the sky."

Listen to today's episode to find out what that means!
