（传统文化阅读）During the Warring States period, there was a very good carpenter(木匠) who lived in the State of Lu. People usually called him Lu Ban. It is said that he once made a bird of wood. It was so lifelike that it could fly in the sky for a few days.
One day, a young carpenter came to a house. It had a big red door. He held up his own axe and said, “Hello, everyone! Please listen to me! I am a great carpenter in the world. No matter what kind of wood it is, I can make it into anything wonderful.”
After hearing his words, people around him all laughed. “This young carpenter talked big,” they thought. Then one of them pointed to the big red door behind him and said, “Look! Young man, can you make a better door than this one?” The young carpenter raised his head high, laughed happily and said, “No problem! I used to be a student of Lu Ban.” All the people laughed again. Someone said to the young carpenter, “This is Lu Ban’s home. He made this big red door for himself.” The young carpenter’s face turned red and then he ran away quickly.
This comes the proverb “Ban Men Nong Fu”. It means showing off slight skills in front of an expert.
