The origin of Idioms

Zhuangzi: Xu Wugui

When Chuang Tzu was buried in Huizi's tomb, Gu said that the follower said: "the nose of a man is like a fly's wing, which makes the craftsman stone it. It's a common practice for craftsmen and stone workers to pay attention to every detail. They can listen to it without hurting their noses. They can stand upright without losing their looks. Hearing this, the king of the Yuan Dynasty of the Song Dynasty called the craftsman Shi and said, "try to do it for me." The craftsman said, "I can taste it. Although I have been dead for a long time. " Since master's death, I don't think it's true! I have nothing to say. "

translation

On the way to Huizi cemetery, Zhuangzi turned to his followers and said, "a man in Yingdi smeared white clay on the tip of his nose, which was as thin as the wings of a fly. So he asked a craftsman named Shi to cut off the little white spot. The stone craftsman listened to him and waved his axe as fast as a gust of wind. He cut off the white mud on the tip of his nose and didn't hurt his nose. The people in Yingdi stood there, their faces unchanged. When song Yuanjun knew about it, he called for a craftsman and said to him, "give me another chop to try." Craftsman Shi said, "I was really able to cut off the white spots on the tip of my nose. Nevertheless, the partner I can match has been dead for a long time. " Since Huizi died, I have no partner and no one to argue with. "
