During the Warring States Period, there was man called Ban from the State of Lu. People usually called him Lu Ban. He(know) as the most excellent carpenter(木匠) then. It is said that he once made a bird of wood. It was so lifelike that it flew the sky for three days.
One day, a young carpenter came to a house had a big red door. He held up his ax and said, "I am a great carpenter. No matter what kind of wood it is, I can make it into anything." Hearing this, people around him all laughed. "This young carpenter is talking big now," they thought. One of them pointed to the big red door behind him and said, "Young man, can you make a (good) door than this one?" The young carpenter raised his head high (show) his confidence. Then he said, "No problem! I was the (one) student of Lu Ban." The crowd laughed again. Someone said, "This is Lu Ban's home. He made this door (he) ." The young carpenter's face turned red and he ran away(quick).
Thus comes the proverb "Ban Men Nong Fu". It means showing off slight (skill) in front of an expert.
