sb. who makes minimal corrections and thereby improves a piece of writing

One character master is a famous poet monk of the Five Dynasties. Once on a snowy morning, Qi Ji found that several plum blossoms had already opened. He felt that they had opened very early. In order to highlight the word "early", he wrote a poem called "early plum". There were two sentences in it: "in the deep snow of Qiancun, several plum blossoms opened last night." He was very satisfied with the two poems, so he happily took the poem to ask his friend Zheng Gu. After seeing it several times, Zheng Gu commented: "a few branches of plum blossom are already flourishing. It's not enough to say 'early'. It's better to change 'several branches' into' one branch ' After listening to this, Qi Ji thought that the change was very good, accepted it gladly, and gave thanks to Zheng Gu. Later generations called Zheng Gu Qi Ji's "one character teacher". Today, it is used to refer to a person who is good at improving poetry and prose. It is used to refer to a person's open-minded learning mind. Even if he knows one more word or one more thing than himself, he can be his own teacher.

1. Qi Ji, a poet monk of Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "early plum", in which there is a sentence "in the deep snow of Qiancun, several branches opened last night". Zheng Gu said, "several branches" can not highlight the word "early", it is better to change it to "one branch". Qi Ji sighed. At that time, scholars called Zheng Gu the "one character master" of Qi Ji. During the Yuan Dynasty, SA Tianxi sent Jun Tianyuan to the court. There was a saying that "the earth was wet and tired of hearing the rain, and the moon came to listen to the Jingyang bell". Many people praised it. Only an old man in Shandong thought that "Wen" should be changed to "Kan". SA Tianxi asked why he wanted to change it. The old man said: "in the Tang Dynasty, there were old monks in the forest to see the rain." SA Tianxi bowed his head and worshipped him as "one character master".
