炊沙作糜 | make a futile effort

chuī炊shā沙zuò作mí糜

To make a futile effort; to labor in vain; to do something impossible or pointless and achieve nothing.

如果方向不对，即使再努力，也只能是炊沙作糜，白费力气。

If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it will only be like cooking sand to make porridge, a waste of effort.
