It's burnt (thin) and not like us!" The foreigner! Said: "If your base is bulging out of your neck, it is a gall disease. You don't seek good medicine to cure your disease, but you think my neck is burnt?" The man from Nanqi said: "I Everyone in the village is like this, so why bother with it?" In the end, no one knew it was an illness.

Nanqi is located in the valleys of Shaanxi and Sichuan.

They have little contact with outsiders. The water in Nanqi is very sweet, but it lacks iodine. Drinking this water all year round will cause big neck disease. There is no resident in Nanqi who has a small neck. One day, a person came from outside the mountain, which caused a sensation in Nanqi. Residents, old and young, came to watch. They looked at it and started talking about the outsider's neck: "Hey, auntie, look at that person's neck." "His second sister-in-law, it's so strange. Why is his neck so thin and long? It's so ugly." "It's so dry, he must have something wrong with it." "It would be so ugly to walk on the street with such a thin neck!" The outsider laughed after hearing this. He said: "Your neck is the only one with the disease. That's called big neck disease! You don't treat the disease, but instead you come to laugh at my neck. Isn't it ridiculous!" The Nanqi people said: "Our whole village is like this. The fat neck is so beautiful! You pay us to treat it, but we won’t do it!”

The inspiration for this fable is mainly about being closed-minded and ignorant, which makes people short-sighted. Blind arrogance even develops to the point of reversing right and wrong and confusing black and white.
