一孔之见 A glimpse through a hole
Explanation
比喻狭隘片面的见解，指眼光短浅，只看到局部，看不到整体。
A metaphor for a narrow and one-sided viewpoint, referring to shortsightedness, only seeing the part and not the whole.
Origin Story
从前有个村子里，住着一位老农，他家门前有一口井。一天，他发现井里有很多青蛙，于是每天都去井边抓青蛙。他抓青蛙的方法很特别，不是用网子，而是用一根细长的竹竿，轻轻地把青蛙挑出来。他觉得这种方法既方便又快捷。有一天，村里来了一个年轻人，看到老农抓青蛙的方法，觉得很奇怪，便问老农："老人家，你抓青蛙的方法真特别，为什么不用网子呢？"老农笑了笑，说："用网子太麻烦了，而且还容易把青蛙弄伤。我的方法既简单又有效，一抓一个准。"年轻人听了老农的话，半信半疑，便也学着老农的样子抓青蛙。结果，他半天也没有抓到几只青蛙。老农看到年轻人的窘态，便笑着说："年轻人，你只看到了我的方法表面上的简单，却忽略了我的经验和技巧。抓青蛙，并不是简简单单地用竹竿挑就能成功的，它需要多年的经验积累和对青蛙习性的了解。你的方法只是"一孔之见"，只看到局部的现象，而没有看到问题的本质。"
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer living in a village, with a well in front of his house. One day, he discovered many frogs in the well, so he went to catch frogs by the well every day. His method was unique; he didn't use a net but a thin, long bamboo pole, gently lifting the frogs out. He found this method convenient and quick. One day, a young man came to the village and saw the old farmer's method, which he found strange, and asked, "Old man, your method of catching frogs is unique, why not use a net?" The old farmer smiled and said, "Using a net is too troublesome, and it's easy to hurt the frogs. My method is simple and effective, one catch at a time." The young man listened to the old farmer's words and was half-convinced, half-doubtful, so he tried to catch frogs using the old farmer's method. As a result, he caught few frogs in half a day. Seeing the young man's embarrassment, the old farmer said with a smile, "Young man, you only see the superficial simplicity of my method but ignore my experience and skills. Catching frogs is not as simple as picking them out with a bamboo pole; it requires years of experience and understanding of frogs' habits. Your method is just a "limited perspective," only seeing partial phenomena but not the essence of the problem."
