Frog at the Well uses the dialogue between frog and turtle as an allegory. Happy, arrogant and proud frogs experienced the greatness of the East China Sea, and after listening to Ao's words, they realized their smallness.

Enlightenment from Frog at the Bottom of the Well

The original meaning of the idiom is that a frog in the well can only see a day as big as the wellhead, which is used to describe a person with limited knowledge. This idiom tells people that there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside, so you should always know your position, otherwise you will easily get into trouble because of arrogance. It also warns people to keep enterprising spirit at all times, and never give up enterprising spirit because they are greedy for temporary comfort.

The world is vast, knowledge is endless, and we are small. If we regard a corner we see as the whole world and a little knowledge we know as the sum of human culture, then we will become as ignorant and arrogant as frogs in a dry well, and short-sighted people will not achieve great things after all.

There are also many people in modern society who are content with their ordinary life, dare not create the life they want, can't play their potential and become frogs in the well. In fact, if you take that step bravely, you will find that the outside world is much more wonderful than you think.
