What do you mean by cursing Mulberry?

"Pointing at trees and cursing mulberry" refers to expressing dissatisfaction or criticism to others by metaphor or analogy when commenting on others. This word comes from an old story about a man who had a long rest under a locust tree. The locust tree couldn't support itself and crushed the branches of a mulberry tree next to it. The branch began to wither when it was crushed. Later, someone commented on this withered mulberry branch. For a while, others began to make inappropriate metaphors for others with the mentality of imitating others. So the word "borrowing mulberry" spread among the people.

Although the word "borrowing trees to curse mulberry" doesn't sound good, it can't be denied. In real life, we often need to use this word on some occasions. For example, we can't directly criticize someone's bad conduct and improper behavior, but we can use some objective facts to express our dissatisfaction or criticism of someone by "cursing mulberry".

However, the word "borrowing trees to scold mulberry" must be used carefully and in the right occasion and context. If you use the wrong scene or inappropriate language, it is likely to cause harm to others. In real life, we should think carefully and use it carefully to avoid insults and indignation to others.
