Kang Su Chen Gong Yaozi was good at archery, and there was no second one at that time. He boasted about his archery. Once, he shot an arrow in his garden. An old man selling oil put down the burden he was carrying, stood aside and looked at him sideways for a long time. The old man only nodded slightly when he saw that he could shoot eight or nine arrows out of ten. Chen Yaozi asked, "Do you know archery? Isn't my archery superb? " The old man said: "There is no other secret, only skilled technology." Chen Yaozi said angrily, "How can you despise my archery!" The old man said, "I know this truth from the experience of pouring oil." So the old man took out a gourd and put it on the ground, covered the mouth of the gourd with a copper coin, and slowly poured oil into the gourd with a spoon (through the square hole of the copper coin). Oil was injected from the hole of the copper coin, but the copper coin was not wet. Then the old man said, "I have no other secrets, but I am very skilled." Kang Su smiled awkwardly and sent the old man away. What's the difference between this story and the story of the craftsman and the wheel told by Zhuangzi?
