春秋时晋国的籍谈出使周朝,他回答周王的问题时没有答好,事后周王讽刺他‘数典而忘其祖’,意思是籍谈说起国家的礼制掌故来,把自己祖先的职守(掌管国家的史册)都忘掉了(见于《左传》昭公十五年)。后来就用数典忘祖比喻忘掉自己本来的情况或事物的本源。 {give all the historical facts except those about one's own ancestors. The Zuo Commentary·Duke Zhao 15th Year:
In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Ji Tan of the State of Jin visited the Zhou Dynasty as an envoy, he failed to field the king's questions and the king later commented that Ji Tan recounted all the social institutions and historical anecdotes but forgot his own ancestor's post in charge of the state historical documents. The phrase is used figuratively to mean‘forget one's own ancestors or origins’}
