How do you understand "take it with a grain of salt"? Is it means believe in half? Why it's like this?

It's a common idiomatic expression meaning that you should be somewhat skeptical. You can look up such expressions online; here is my favorite site for English idioms:

"Take it with a grain of salt" means "Don't take the advice too seriously," or don't completely believe what someone is saying.
