In ancient times, there was a man who wanted to make a fine cart. But, instead of learning how to do it form experts, he shut himself up at home and worked at it. Despite the time and effort he spent on it, the cart was useless. This Chinese idiom means to make a cart behind closed doors or to work behind closed doors; divorce oneself from the masses and from reality; act blindly. It is also used metahhorically to mean being too subjective and disregrading the rest of the world.
中國成語故事：閉門造車
古時候，有個人想造一輛很精巧的車子。他不去學習別人製造車子的實際經驗，卻把自己關在家裡冥思苦想，費了很多功夫，車子雖然造好了，但是推出去卻不能使用。至於我們現在所說的“閉門造車”，則是形容不顧實際，也不吸取別人的經驗，一味主觀地杜撰瞎造的意思，好比關起門來在家裡製造車子，而完全不考慮門外的實際情況和實際需要，結果就不合規格，不能適用。此成語比喻脫離實際，只憑主觀辦事。（圖源網絡）
