Description
Place a dose of witty wisdom wherever you go with this Calling a Deer a Horse porcelain magnet. This is an ancient Chiense saying that dates to the first emperor of China. From the blog titled Loyalty Over Truth: “This infamous incident, occurring under Qin Er Shi’s reign, exemplifies the extreme nature of loyalty tests. Zhao Gao, the powerful eunuch, “brings a deer and presents it to the Second Emperor calling it a horse.” Those who truthfully identified it as a deer were “executed instantly,” demonstrating that “Loyalty > Reality.” This incident gave rise to the idiom “Calling a deer a horse” (ๆ้นฟไธบ้ฉฌ), which describes situations where “Someone deliberately confuses right and wrong,” “Someone twists the truth to manipulate or deceive others,” and “There is a blatant disregard for the truth or reality.” — Sapience2112, 7/25/25
