自相矛盾 Zì xiāng máo dùn
The meaning of this idiom is relatively straightforward - "self-contradictory" - but the story behind it is fascinating. It comes from an ancient tale of a salesman who claimed that he sold a spear (矛) so powerful it could pierce anything while also saying his shield (盾) could not be pierced.
