從前楚國的郢（yǐnɡ）都有個好工匠，
工匠姓石會使斧，
使斧頭的技藝實在神奇。
有個人想試試他的真本領，
就把工匠請回家，
在鼻子上抹了一塊白灰泥，
灰泥在鼻尖像蒼蠅翅，
叫工匠用斧頭給他砍下去。
這工匠掄起斧頭一陣風，
砍掉灰絲毫沒有傷到鼻尖皮。
巧工匠砍罷提斧頭站一旁，
那個人佩服得了不得。
古代“斤”字本指斧，
“運斤成風”作成語，
含義是：
本領真正學到家，
使用起來就能出神入化顯神奇。
青年朋友要記住，
為了建設富強國，
我們一定要練就那：
“運斤成風”過硬的真功底。
Whirl the Hatchet Like Wind Blowing
Once in Ying City，in the State of Chu there was a good craftsman。He had a feat for using his hatchet。One day a man wanted to test his skill，and invited him home。The man put a speck of chalk on the tip of his nose，then asked the craftsman to scrape it off。The craftsman whirled his hatchet like a puff of wind，and removed every bit of the chalk without any injury to the nose。The craftsman stood holding his hatchet。The man who wanted to test him worshiped him as a real hero。
This denotes that if you practice and practice and reach perfection，miracles will surely occur。
