用畫的餅來解餓。比喻用空想來自我安慰，也比喻徒有虛名。

Lu Yu was a learned man of integrity in the period of Three Kingdoms (220-280),serving as a senior official.

Once the emperor was selecting talents for a post;officials recommended a lot of famous people.The emperor of Wei said,“I would like to let Lu Yu select the right person instead of those well-known but incapable ones.Fame is just like a pancake drawn on the wall.You cannot eat it.”

Lu Yu suggested the emperor combine examination with selection.From then on,officials were appointed according to their real ability.Lu Yu’s method for selection was widely praised.

The idiom came from what the emperor said.At first,it indicated enjoying an empty fame.Later,people use it to describe satisfying oneself by imagining things or consoling oneself with false hopes.

三國時(shí)期（220－280），有一個(gè)文人叫盧毓，在魏國做大官。

一次宮中選拔人才，官員們推薦了許多名人。魏國的皇帝說：“讓盧毓來選人，我不要那些只有名聲而沒有真才實(shí)學(xué)的人。名聲就像畫在墻上的餅，不可以拿來吃。”

盧毓建議皇帝將選拔和考試相結(jié)合。從此，皇帝根據(jù)個(gè)人的實(shí)際能力來任命官員。盧毓的方法得到了大家的稱贊。

成語“畫餅充饑”就來自于皇帝所說的話。一開始，它指有名聲而沒本領(lǐng)。后來，人們用它來比喻以不切實(shí)際的空想來滿足自己。
