You can't draw a tiger
[huà h ǔ b? ch é ng]
Definition:
Ma Yuan, a general of Fubo in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, was very strict in educating his sons and nephews, hoping that they would become useful talents. He didn't like his nephews Ma Yan and Ma Dun gossiping behind others. He wrote a letter to warn them to learn from Du Jiliang and Long Bogao. If you can't learn, you can't draw a tiger, but you can draw it like a dog. Later, he used the metaphor of "painting a tiger without success" to aim too high and achieve nothing, which made him a laughing stock. Also known as "painting tiger dogs". Or "draw a tiger into a dog" or "draw a tiger dog".

The Biography of Ma Yuan in the Later Han Dynasty by Fan Ye in the Southern Dynasties
Canon Source Translation:
At first, Ma Yan and Ma Dun, sons of Ma Yuan's brother, both liked to discuss current affairs, but they were indifferent to chivalrous people. Ma Yuan used to write a letter home to admonish him after the deadline: "I think you should hear others' faults as if you were listening to their parents' names.". I like to talk about people's length and ridicule current politics, which is what I hate most. I would rather die than hear about such behavior from my children and grandchildren. You know I hate it very much, and the reason why I want to talk about it again is to state my parents' admonition like when a man and a woman get married, so that you will never forget it. Long Bo is high, honest, thoughtful and cautious. He speaks without saying anything. He is modest, frugal, honest, fair and prestigious. I love him very much and respect him. I hope you can learn from him. Du Jiliang, a hero, loves loyalty, cares about others and enjoys others. Good people and bad people all hit it off. When his father died, people from several counties came to pay their respects. I love him and respect him, but I don't want you to learn from him. Learning from Longbo is not as high as home, and he is still a cautious and diligent person. The so-called carving of a swan can't be like a swan. When Du Jiliang didn't get home, he degenerated into a frivolous child in the world. The so-called painting a tiger is not like a dog. Up to now, Du Jiliang still doesn't know. The generals in the county hated him with their teeth as soon as they got off the bus. All the counties said that he was chilling for me, so I don't want my descendants to learn from him. " [1] 2.
