* Buy the case and return the pearl (买椟还珠) - used to explain someone with poor judgment that doesn't know the true worth of something. This idiom originated from a story about a man that tried to sell his pearl by making a case from molan wood, embellishing it with gems and fumigating it with incense.

The idiom these days is used to mock the buyer who failed to see that the pearl was worth much more than the case.
