Definition

耳听为虚,眼见为实

Literally means:

what is heard may be false but what is seen is true

Actually means:

seeing is believing

What others say is not reliable or trustworthy; only what one sees with his own eyes is real and reliable. It emphasizes that one should not come to a conclusion until he sees with his own eyes.

听别人说的不可靠或不可信,亲眼见到的才是真实可靠的。强调一定要亲眼所见才能相信。

Example

Used as a minor sentence or as object. (作小句、宾语)
