Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a man named Guo Han, who could write poetry and paint, had a witty personality, and liked to joke. One night in the middle of summer, he took shelter under the trees, but he saw that the sky was as blue as blue, and the bright moon was hanging high and the phoenix was coming, and the courtyard was full of incense. At this time, an unusually beautiful woman stood in front of Guo Han with a smile.

Guo Han asked politely, "Miss, who are you?" Where did it come from?" The woman said, "I am the Weaver Girl, from heaven." ”

Guo Han asked, "Can you talk about things in heaven when you come up from heaven?" The woman asked, "What do you want to know?" Guo Han said, "I want to know everything."

The woman said, "It's hard, where do you want me to start?"

Guo Han said: "People say that immortals are smart, so you can just talk about it."

The woman said: "The four seasons in the heavens are like spring, there is no heat in summer, and there is no severe cold in winter; The green trees are evergreen, and the flowers bloom without thanks. Birds sing in the branches, and fish can be seen swimming in the water. There is no disease, no war, no taxation, in short, all the suffering on earth is not in heaven. ”

Guo Han said, "Heaven is so good, why are you still running to the human world?"

The woman said, "Thank you for being a reader!" Didn't the ancients say, 'Stay in a house full of orchids for a long time, and you won't smell the fragrance'? After staying in heaven for a long time, I inevitably felt a little lonely, and occasionally went to the human world to play. ”

Guo Han asked again, "I heard that there is a medicine that people can live forever when they eat it, do you know where there is?" The woman said, "There is no such medicine in the world, it is everywhere in heaven."

Guo Han said, "Since there are so many people in the sky, you should bring some down and let people taste how good it is."

The woman said, "You can't take it down." The things in the heavens lost their aura when they were brought to the human world, otherwise they would have been eaten by Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han. "

Guo Han said, "You claim to be from heaven, how can you prove that you are not lying and deceiving people?"

The woman asked Guo Han to look at her clothes.

Guo Han read it carefully, and found that her clothes were not sewn, and the woman said: "Seamless, you don't even understand this, and what is called a talent!"

After Guo Han listened, he laughed, and when he looked again, the woman was gone.
