Glad you like this post. I am amazed that you are typing traditional Chinese characters "博士買驢", which I thought would be difficult for non-native Chinese speakers. Fortunately, Google is smart enough to know both simplified and traditional Chinese. @phil

thanks a lot for this explanation!
i’d already looked up this chengyu and learned what it meant,
but felt unsatisfied without knowing the entire story behind it;
fortunately your post was here to help!
in fact, googling “博士買驢 chengyu stories”
produced only six hits!
and most of those were in chinese
that still left me confused
or didn’t really seem to have the story
or anything.

so thanks again,

phil
