Kang Su Chen Gong Yaozi is good at archery. At that time, no one else in the world could match him, and he boasted about it. Once, he was shooting an arrow at home, and an old man selling oil put down his burden and stood there looking at him casually for a long time. The old man who sells oil only nodded slightly when he saw that he hit the target with ten arrows.
Chen Yaozi asked the oilman, "Do you know archery? Isn't my archery very clever? " The old man selling oil said, "There is no other secret but skill." Chen Yaozi said angrily, "How dare you despise my archery!" The old man said, "I can understand this truth from my experience in 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 no other secrets, but I know my hands well." Chen Yaozi smiled and sent him away.
What's the difference between this story and the story of the craftsman and the wheel told by Zhuangzi?

Chen Kang Su Gong is good at shooting, and chinese odyssey and Gong are also proud of it. Tasting and shooting in the garden at home, some oil sellers unload their bags and stand still, but they don't go for a long time. See its arrow nine times out of ten, but a little clumsy. (Good shooting: Yao Zi shoots well)
Kang Su asked, "Do you know how to shoot? I'm not good at shooting, am I? " Weng said, "Nothing else, just familiarity." Kang Su said angrily, "Er 'an dares to shoot lightly!" Weng said, "I know it by my oil. "But put a gourd on the ground, cover its mouth with money, put oil and let the money in, but the money is not wet. Because: "I have nothing else, but my hands are familiar." Kang Su laughed and dismissed the matter.
What's the difference between this and Johnson's so-called solution?

Appreciation of works:
This article is a philosophical and interesting essay, which is easy to understand, meaningful and instructive, so it has been a must for middle school textbooks for many years. The success of this article lies in the truth that practice makes perfect. Explain it with a vivid little story to achieve the purpose of thought-provoking and understanding.
The first paragraph is about Chen Yaozi's archery and the oil man's archery. At the beginning of the article, it is explained in very concise language that Chen Yaozi is good at archery, and chinese odyssey highlights his archery. "Proud of it" also wrote his smug and arrogant attitude. The oil peddler's "unloading his baggage" and "staying for a long time" show that he was attracted by Chen Yaozi's archery and wanted to see what happened. See Chen Yaozi archery "nine times out of ten", just nodded slightly. The descriptions of "Qiu Zhi" and "Wei Qing" are accurate and vivid. It not only affirmed Chen Yaozi's skillful archery skills, but also wrote that he was still not satisfied with watching. One is to be complacent with some achievements, and the other is to look at it for a long time without a word of praise or support, showing a rather dismissive expression. In the quiet narration, the author initially reveals the different attitudes of these two people with different identities and positions to archery technology, which constitutes a contradiction and makes the reader have suspense, which leads to further narration.
In the second paragraph, it is written that the oil seller squeezed oil from the money hole. At the beginning of this paragraph, through two groups of dialogues with the oil seller Weng, the two people's different views and attitudes towards archery technology are further compared and written. "You know to shoot? I'm not good at shooting, am I? " Chen Yaozi issued two questions in succession, which seemed to be full of domineering, dismissing people who sold oil; The seller's answer was indifferent: "No one else, but his hands are familiar", and his tone was calm, showing the seller's calmness and confidence. The expression and tone of the oil vendor angered Chen Yaozi, and Chen Yaozi angrily rebuked the oil vendor for "daring to act rashly", which further showed Chen Yaozi's arrogance and aggressiveness. The old man was still calm and calmly replied in a calm tone: "I know it by judgment." Then the author used verbs such as "take", "set", "cover", "consider" and "drain" methodically and concisely, accurately describing the process of selling oil and showing his leisurely attitude. With such superb skills, he said without exaggeration, "I have nothing but my hands." Compared with Chen Yaozi's arrogant attitude, the oil seller's simple, humble and undisguised character is not obvious. "I have nothing but ability" is the crowning touch of the article. The author pointed out this sentence twice, emphasizing and highlighting the main idea of this narrative, that is, the central idea of this article. At the end of the article, I explained the change of Chen Yaozi's attitude and the ending of the matter in one sentence. The word "smile" is also a vivid pen, which shows that Chen Yaozi was inspired and impressed by the action of selling oil Weng without adding more ink; "Laugh it off", which is also in line with Chen Yaozi's identity. This ending is concise, implicit and thought-provoking.
Chen Yaozi has a lot of knowledge, and his official position is very high. He is both civil and military and doesn't want to be inferior. But he had to give up in front of the oil seller, because the reason pointed out by the oil seller could not be refuted, so he had to "laugh it off" and not blame the people for "making mistakes." This is really not easy for Chen Yaozi, who was "badly beaten and killed with a stick". "Laughter" is both an understanding and a self-mockery, so it is a vivid stroke.

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.
In the fourth year of Song Yingzong Pingzhi (1067), Ouyang Xiu was slandered by Fei Yu and asked to go abroad. When he came to Bozhou, he wrote this article and recorded a story about Chen Yaozi. Ouyang Xiu wants to express the truth that practice makes perfect through this little thing.

Through the description of the oil seller's skill of dripping oil from the money hole and the discussion of the method of obtaining the skill, it is shown that practice makes perfect.
