见风使舵 – See how the cat jumps
见风使舵
Jiàn fēng shǐ duò
“See how the cat jumps.” In other words, wait until one understands what is happening/has happened before acting, in order to avoid rash action.
I discovered this meaning through one of my first attempts at self-initiated conversation with my father in law. I’m glad my wife was there, as at that time no Chinese people could understand my “Chinese”! I was trying to ask him whether there was a Chinese-Idiom equivalent to “See how the cat jumps/Sway with the breeze”.
