What does Linyuan Xianyu mean when it is used in love?

"Linyuan Xianyu" is used in love to warn people that if they love someone, they should be brave enough to express their feelings, and don't lose their love in secret love.

linyuan Xianyu (pinyin: lín yuān xiàn yú) is an idiom derived from the works of literati, which first appeared in Huai Nan Zi Shuo Lin Xun. ?

the original meaning of "linyuan xianyu" is to face the abyss and hope to get fish. Deep: deep water pool. Envy: hope to get it). After metaphor, there is a desire to get something, but there is no actual action. This idiom is often used as predicate, attribute and clause in sentences. Also known as "Linhe Xianyu" and "Linchuan Xianyu".

Idiom moral:

Instead of staring blankly at the fish in the deep pool and fantasizing about getting the fish all day, it is better to step aside and weave a net honestly. This is due to the basic common sense in real life, but the meaning of this common sense is very rich and profound, which reveals the relationship between "heart" and "action", "goal" and "means".

it tells us that if we only indulge in building a grand blueprint and are keen on talking, instead of working hard to turn it into reality, it will be a dead letter and a fantasy after all. No matter how beautiful this fantasy is, it won't help.

Between goals and means, a clear goal is very important. People can't live without goals and ideals, but without specific means and actions to achieve this goal, goals will always be just goals. If our goal is to catch fish, then only by "retreating" and weaving a good net can we get fish. Here, a "retreat" is very important. The purpose of "retreat" is to free yourself from illusion and try to solve the problems of action and means first.
