Hey!
Basically it refers to someone who's stupid because they talk a lot and seem to be an expert on everything while they're not.
Hope this helps

Hello,It's a Chinese proverb.^_^
"Empty vessels make the most noise.",
"Full vessels make no noise"
which means Those who are knowledgable behave modestly,while those who lack of wisdomness behave immodestly and are fond of showing off themselves.

In my opinion there is some confusion in these explanations
why you don´t try the technical purpose.
the empty vessels conduct more easily the sounds in side because of air
but when its full, the water decreases the sound conduction
that´s all. funny No?

Hello Youness,
Nick and Lucille are quite right. Plus Willy's links will give you all the info, and more, that you need.
Yantzi, Hello, I was fascinated to learn that this was originally a Chinese proverb
Hi Merseburg, proverbs are rarely if ever purely literal.
