2.2.8A 成语故事《自相矛盾》

This is an Chengyu (Chinese idiom) story about an ancient street vendor who was being inconsistent while advertising for his spear and shield. Spear and shield were thus used to describe contradictions since then. 古时候，有一个人，一手拿着矛，一手拿着盾，在街上叫卖。他举起矛，向人夸口说："我的矛锐利得很，不论什么盾都戳得穿！"接着又举起盾，向人夸口说："我的盾坚固得很，不论什么矛都戳不穿它！" 有人问他："用你的矛戳你的盾，会怎么样呢？"他哑口无言，回答不出来了。自相矛盾：用自己的矛戳自己的盾。比喻说话、做事前后不符，互相抵触。说话、做事要实事求是，不能夸大其词，否则只会自相矛盾。
