Kang Su Chen Gong Yaozi is good at archery, and no one else in the world can match him. He also boasted about this skill. Once (once), (he) shot an arrow at home. An old man selling oil put down his burden and stood looking at him sideways, never leaving. The old man selling oil only nodded slightly when he saw that he was nine times out of ten.

Chen Yaozi asked the oilman, "Do you know archery? Isn't my archery very clever? " The old man selling oil said, "There is nothing but skill." Chen Yaozi said angrily, "How dare you despise my archery!" The old man said, "I will understand this truth by pouring oil." So he took out a gourd and put it on the ground, put a copper coin in the mouth of the gourd, and slowly poured oil into the gourd with an oil spoon. Oil is injected from the money hole, but the money is not wet. So he said, "I have nothing else, but I am proficient in my hands." Chen Yaozi smiled and sent him away.

What's the difference between this old man selling oil and Zhuangzi's skillful flat wheel?

Creative background:

Chen Yaozi is just short-tempered, but he is decisive. When he was a local official, he attached great importance to water conservancy. When he learned about Yongxing Army (now Shaanxi), he found it very difficult to drink water in Chang 'an. He organized manpower to dredge the Longshou Canal and solve the problem of people's domestic water use. However, Chen Yaozi was very overbearing, and he was "tortured miserably, counting the dead with a stick".

Chen Yaozi's father, Chen Shenghua, was a Sichuanese and was appointed as the magistrate of Jiyuan County. Three brothers, Chen Yaozi, followed their father to Jiyuan, Henan Province. One day when I was studying in Longtan Temple, I met an oil seller while practicing riding and shooting. I learned a truth from the old man: the skill of pouring oil is practiced for a long time, and practice makes perfect and strives for perfection. From then on, study hard and practice martial arts. At the age of 2 1, he won the first place in the Jinshi examination and later became the official minister of the Song Dynasty. At that time, Ouyang Xiu interviewed Chen Yaozi's growing experience, visited Jiyuan, and wrote the story of "The Oil Seller", which has become a masterpiece to this day. ?
