Idiom Duck

The idiom of Duck begins as follows:

Duck Steps Dragon Walks:Describes a person who walks lightly and flexibly without dragging his feet. Duck green river flow:Metaphorically speaking, things are constantly developing and changing, never-ending.

Duck Egg Stone:It is a metaphor for things that seem ordinary and common on the surface, but contain unlimited possibilities inside.

The idiom of "Duck Steps, Goose Walks" is from Yuan Qin Jianfu's "Dongtang Lao" (The Old Man of Dongtang), second section: "I can't see you duck steps, goose walks like this." The idiom originally means ducks and geese walking in eight steps, which is used to describe the slow and wobbly way of walking, and to compare the slow way of walking with the way of people, and can also be compared to the waddling gait of people. It has a derogatory meaning.

Here's some expanded knowledge about ducks:

Ducks' bodies evolved to be front-heavy and back-heavy, adapted for underwater life. Ducks have eyes on the sides of their heads and can only see to the left and right, so they like to look at people with their heads tilted. The duck's feathers don't get wet because the tail is stored full of waterproof oil, and the duck will peck at its butt and smear it all over its body for nothing.

Ducks like to stand quietly in the storm on rainy days, which is their unique way of hiding from the rain. Because ducks' feathers are waterproof, if they don't move the rain will paddle away along them, and running around will wet them instead. Ducks' quacks change as they get older. Ducklings have small chests and bellies, so their quacks are particularly sharp, and when they grow up, they become thick and long.

Ducks swim with their legs short and very far back, and with a layer of webbing between their toes that paddles through the water like a pulp.

Ducks' feathers have multiple functions. Waterproof: Ducks' feathers are waterproof, which allows them to swim in water without getting soaked. Warmth: duck feathers provide warmth and help them maintain body temperature in cold water. Ducks' feathers are key to their flight; they have many feathers on their wings that provide lift and stability.

Ducks' feathers provide some protection to help them avoid injury. Camouflage: Ducks' feathers help them to camouflage themselves in the water, making them harder to detect by natural predators. In short, ducks' feathers are an important tool for their survival and reproduction.
