"Looking at the sky from a well" is an idiom, which comes from an ancient legend. A person living in a well can only see a sky at the wellhead every day. He thinks the whole sky is this size. This idiom is usually used to criticize those who lack comprehensive understanding and only see their own small circle.

Enlightenment of life

This sentence means that although we have gained some knowledge in some aspects, if we lack a comprehensive vision and in-depth thinking, we may misunderstand and say unrealistic things.

In my personal experience, I once discussed a topic with some friends. They only saw their own views and did not consider other factors, which led to the unreliable final conclusion. However, when I studied this topic deeply and considered more factors, my conclusion came to different results.

This experience inspired me that we need to keep an open mind, contact as many different sources of information as possible, and think deeply in order to get more comprehensive and accurate views and conclusions. At the same time, we need to be modest, realize that we may make mistakes, accept criticism and feedback from others, and correct and adjust our own views.

In a word, the phrase "drunken dancing in a pavilion, half a book, sitting in a well and watching the sky" tells us that in the process of acquiring knowledge, we should not stay in a partial and superficial understanding, but comprehensively understand things and think deeply in order to make more wise and accurate decisions.
