The old man selling oil only nodded slightly when he saw that he was nine times out of ten. Chen Yaozi asked the oilman, "Do you know archery? Isn't my archery very clever? " The old man selling oil said, "There is nothing but skill." Chen Yaozi said angrily, "How dare you despise my archery!" The old man said, "I will understand this truth by 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 nothing else, but I am proficient in my hands." Chen Yaozi smiled and sent him away.

works appreciation
The first paragraph: Write that Chen Yaozi is good at shooting, and the oil seller agrees. At the beginning of the article, it is a general introduction to Chen Yaozi. He is "good at shooting", "chinese odyssey" and "proud of it". Excellent shooting skills. As far as common sense is concerned, it must be appreciated by everyone, and it is natural for a shooter to be pretentious. This is to pave the way for the following. However, the old man who sells oil "has eight out of ten" is only "but a little". Here, contradictions are put forward with extremely concise pen and ink, which creates suspense in the reader's mind and naturally leads to the following.
The second paragraph: explain the truth that practice makes perfect. Kang Su Gong has always been "complacent", and he will not let go of the attitude of the old oil seller who disapproves of his archery. Naturally, he would ask, "Do you know how to shoot? Am I a good marksman? " The old man selling oil replied, "No one else, but he is familiar with his hands." This question and answer shows a profound truth, that is, "Practice makes perfect". Kang Sugong didn't understand the truth for a moment, thinking it was a "rash move". At this time, the contradiction intensified, and the old man selling oil had to show up and say, "I know as appropriate." It is also proved by concrete facts that "practice makes perfect". "Just put a gourd on the ground, cover its mouth with money, and squeeze it dry with oil, and the money will not get wet." After the performance, the old man selling oil reassured Kang Su Palace and said, "I have nothing but my hands." This answer is very important. Not only answered "pat", but also explained the truth again.
This article doesn't say much, but tells the story of the oil seller's answer to Chen Yaozi and the action of the oil seller to tell the truth. Emphasis on archery and oil transportation can achieve superb skills because of familiarity, not Chen Yaozi's archery. Therefore, Chen Yaozi's Archery only takes five words, which is very short. This is simple and appropriate, highlighting the key points of the article.
