弄巧成拙 nòng qiǎo chéng zhuó
北宋时期有位画家叫孙知微，他画的人物栩栩如生。一次他受别人的委托，画了一幅人物画。恰好这时候有朋友请去他喝酒，于是他对弟子们说："这幅画我已全部画好，只剩下着色，你们着色时要小心些。"
There was a painter named Sun Zhiwei in North Song dynasty. Portraits he painted were true to life. Once he was consigned to paint a portrait. At this point, a friend asked him to have a drink. Then he told his disciples, "I have nearly finished this painting. You just need to color it up. Be careful when you do it."
孙知微走后，其中一个弟子故作高深地说："这里面的人物都很传神，可是他手中的瓶子好像少了点东西，老师每次画瓶子，都会在瓶中画一枝鲜花，这次可能急着出门，所以没有画上，我们帮着画完吧！"
After Sun Zhiwei, one disciple pretended to be profound and said, "The person in this painting is vivid. However, the bottle in his hand seems to lack something. Every time after the master painted the bottle, he would draw a flower in the bottle. This time he was in a hurry. So he forgot it. Let us finish it for him!"
孙知微从朋友家回来，发现画里多了一朵花，又好气又好笑地说："这个瓶子，是神仙用来降服水怪的宝瓶，画上花以后就变成了普通的花瓶，真是笑话！"说完便把画撕了。
After Su Zhiwei came back from his friend's house, he found that there was a flower in the bottle. He felt annoyed but amused, "This bottle is a magic vase used by gods to face down sea monsters. After a flower was placed in it, it became a normal vase. It is really ridiculous." Then he just tore it off.
