Idiom story

During the reign of emperor Ganjia of the Qing Dynasty, Luoyang was called Luoyang gifted scholar. One day, he went to a tailor's office for business. The tailor was busy with the operation and saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, so he was very indifferent to him. Seeing that the tailor was busy, Meng Xiou said he would come back later. Someone told the tailor: he is the famous Meng Xiou! The tailor was surprised and regretted. After a while, Meng Xiou came. The tailor reversed his former attitude, saluted him, and said, "Mr. Wen is good at poetry, and dare to ask me for a masterpiece.". Meng Xiou pondered a little and said: a tailor can't do without a needle. Let's take the needle as the topic: a steel needle is shining, holding it in the hand shakes the spirit. Eyes on the buttocks, only recognize clothes, not people.
