This engaging picture book retells a famous Chinese idiom (成语) that has been passed down through generations. It follows the story of a man from the state of Zheng who, wanting to buy a new pair of shoes, meticulously measures his feet and leaves the measurements at home. When he finds the perfect shoes at the market, he refuses to try them on with his own feet because he insists on following the \"rules\" he wrote down, leading to a humorous and thought-provoking ending.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eThis story is more than just a tale; it is a gentle lesson about practicality, flexibility, and the importance of trusting reality over rigid theory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eWhy This Book is a Must-Have:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eBilingual Learning (Chinese-English):\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePerfect for young readers learning Chinese (Mandarin) or English, as well as for parents who want to introduce their children to a new language in an accessible format\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/uopac.njjnlib.cn:8080\/opac\/item.php?marc_no=77726f764e497657446767725a5972787078712f55773d3d\u0026amp;list=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eEducational Value:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHelps children understand the origin and meaning of a common Chinese idiom, promoting cultural literacy and moral thinking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003ePinyin Support:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIncludes Pinyin (phonetic guide) for the Chinese text, aiding pronunciation for non-native speakers and early readers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eVibrant Illustrations:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLarge, colorful, and captivating illustrations (25×26 cm) bring the story to life, keeping children engaged from cover to cover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/uopac.njjnlib.cn:8080\/opac\/item.php?marc_no=77726f764e497657446767725a5972787078712f55773d3d\u0026amp;list=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 600;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003ePart of a Series:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis book is a title in the \"Chinese Traditional Classic Story Picture Book\" series, making it a great addition to any growing collection of world folktales\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1097\/0087\/4574\/files\/7512ac61c36d40934ee38caee255905b0097a26020f698f3c3bd4ccf90accc1d.jpg?v=1793430945\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1097\/0087\/4574\/files\/89167666ce13d77e979741bb9de1bd5a0f990ba252a9e5dea178b2b6280d2d65.jpg?v=1793430950\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1097\/0087\/4574\/files\/5c8e65d91ee3892672545119f747c88b8a511a4ba064c4c7a26e25adf8b80079.jpg?v=1793430953\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"orientalbookworm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61462507356494,"sku":"978-7-5085-2674-4-1234579-0-0-0-0-0-0","price":10.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1097\/0087\/4574\/files\/cc140767fb947c012ff667c2f89f5f66d8a0f8a59794d1ad7d490830fd1a79c0.jpg?v=1793418336","url":"https:\/\/orientalbookworm.com\/products\/a-man-from-zheng-goes-to-buy-some-shoes-chinese-english-edition-a-classic-chinese-fable-picture-book-with-pinyin","provider":"orientalbookworm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
