晉代有位書法家，
王羲之名字傳天下。
他的兒子王獻之，
尋常的兒童難比他。
小獻之幼時見人做遊戲，
常在一旁把話插，
而且句句都在理，
批評誰玩好來誰玩差。
可人家並不以為意，
都說這孩子“管中窺豹莫睬他”。
意思是小孩子隻知一點點，
獻之聽見發了話：
“把我和那些老頭兒比，
現在我當然不如他。”
是想說有朝一日長大後，
我一定爭取超過他。
到後來“管中窺豹”作成語，
常比喻學識短淺眼光狹。
Look at a Leopard Through a Bamboo Tube
In the Jin Dynasty（265—420A。D。），there was a calligrapher by the name of Wang Xizhi who was very famous。His son was Wang Xianzhi，and he was also very extraordinary。When he saw other kids play games，he would make remarks to them，and every sentence made good sense，menting who did well and who did badly。But the kids didn't take it seriously，and they said that the child was looking at a leopard through a bamboo tube，meaning he was young and had only a glimmer of understanding。
But Xianzhi responded sharply：“If you pare me with an old man，of course I'm less smart。”He meant that when he grew up，he could surely surpass them。
Later to“Look at a Leopard Through a Bamboo Tube”became an idiom that implies that someone's knowledge is little and their insight shallow。
