Idiom story: Long, long ago, Ji Chang went to learn archery from archer Wei Fei. Wei Fei told him to practice the basic skills of eyes. When he came home to see his wife weaving, he learned to keep his eyes open and not blink at all. Wei Fei asked him to practice taking small things as big things, and Ji Chang took the little lice in his hair as wheels. Wei Fei taught him archery, and he became a sharpshooter.
