The China History Podcast's video: Looks Can Be Deceiving S8E06 The Chinese Sayings Podcast

For the second time this season, we refer to Zuo Qiuming's "Chronicles of Zuo" for another good and useful chengyu. This one takes place in the Spring and Autumn Period and concerns a haughty self-important minister from Jin State stopping for the night at an inn in Ningyi (河南宁邑). He left quite an impression on the innkeeper there but when this simple innkeeper looked more closely at this official, he saw he was Huá Ér Bù Shí 华而不实. Enjoy this ancient story and learn a new Chinese Saying too. ------------------------------------------------------------- To support the CSP and Teacup Media Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TeacupMedia Subscribe to CHP Premium: https://teacupmedia.supercast.com/ Donate at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/ChinaHistoryPodcast Buy a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LaszloCHP ------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to The China History Podcast: https://www.podpage.com/the-china-history-podcast-1/ Subscribe to The Tea History Podcast: https://www.podpage.com/the-tea-history-podcast/ Subscribe to The Chinese Sayings Podcast: https://www.podpage.com/the-chinese-sayings-podcast/ ------------------------------------------------------------- For more CHP and Teacup Media content, visit the website: https://teacup.media ------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teacup.media Twitter: https://twitter.com/teacup_media TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@teacupmedia?
