However, we should also realize the limitations of proverbs. Although most proverbs have been repeatedly tested, it may not be appropriate to use proverbs in some cases. For example, "a friendship between gentlemen is as light as water", although it can express the viewpoint of indifference in interpersonal relationship, if it is taken as a standard, it may ignore the true value of friendship and lose the importance of mutual care and support among friends. Therefore, when using proverbs, we need to choose them carefully according to the specific situation.
