　　Learn to walk in Handan

During the Warring States Period (475-221 BC),

Handan, the capital of the State of Zhao, was famous

for people's walking style. They walked in vigorous elegant strides. People in other places admired them very much. They thought the Handanners' way of walking was the best under the heaven. Several young lads from the State of Yan even wanted to copy the elegant walking style of the Zhao people. So they traveled a long way to Handan to learn how to walk.

While in Handan, these young lads watched the local people carefully， eager to find out how they walked. But however they tried, they just couldn't walk the way the Handanners did. To make things worse, when they decide to give up and go home, they found they had forgotten their own way of walking. They had to crawl all the way back.

From this fable comes the idiom "Learn to walk in Handan". We use this idiom to describe someone who imitates others blindly only to lose his own individuality.

戰國時，趙國首都邯鄲以人們走路的姿勢聞名。邯鄲人的'步伐充滿活力，非常優美。其他地方人都很羨慕這一點，他們認為邯鄲人的走路姿勢是天底下最優美的。幾個燕國的少年甚至想學習趙人這種優美的走路姿勢，於是他們長途跋涉，來到邯鄲學習。

在邯鄲，這些少年仔細的觀察當地人，迫切地想搞清楚他們是怎麼走路的。但無論他們怎麼試，就是學不會像邯鄲人那樣的走路姿勢。更糟糕的是，當他們決定放棄準備回家時，他們發現自己連原來的走法也忘了，只好爬着回去。

“邯鄲學步”這個成語就是從這則傳説而來的。用來形容那些盲目模仿別人，反而喪失原有個性的人。
