detailed description
The half-full bottle shakes, but the full bottle makes no sound-the dabbler of knowledge talks endlessly, while the wise man keeps silent; He who knows the least will brag the most.
Pronunciation y and pí ng bò xi m: ng, bà n pí ng Hu Dang.
It means that the bottle will not ring when it is full of water, but it will ring when it is half full. Metaphorically, a plump person is modest and taciturn, while a shallow person just likes to show off and brag about himself.
