An arrow shot into the stone(金石為開).
(Liu Xiang) is one of the most famous
historians in Chinese history and records a story in a history book edited by
him.
During the Spring and Autumn Period of
China, the Kingdom of Chu had a king. His name is (Xiong Qu).
He is a master archer.
Once, he was going to perform an urgent
task.
So he did not rest in the evening, he must
reach his destination quickly.
He walked into a gloomy forest.
He walked carefully step by step, he wanted
to get out of here quickly.
Suddenly, he noticed that something seemed
to be moving in the bush in front of him, so he stopped.
Oh my god, there was a big tiger crouching
over there.
He immediately drew an arrow and then drew
a bow to shoot at the tiger.
The arrow hit the target, but it was
strange that the tiger didn't respond at all.
He walked forward to check, and then he
laughed.
It turned out that it was a big rock. He
mistakenly thought it was a big tiger.
He wanted to get back the arrow he shot.
But he was surprised to find that the arrow
went deep into the stone.
This arrow cannot be pulled out.
This is an experience that has never
happened before. He walked back to where he had just shot the arrow.
He shot a few more arrows at the big rock.
But these arrows can no longer be shot into
the stone.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
can accomplish some seemingly impossible tasks as long as he is focused and
simple.

金石為開(An arrow shot into the stone).
(劉向)是中國歷史上最著名的歷史學家之一，在他編輯的歷史書上記載一個故事。
中國的春秋時代，楚王國有一個國王。他的名字叫做(熊渠)。
他是一個神箭手。
有一次，他要去執行一件緊急的任務。
所以他到了晚上也沒有休息，他必須快點抵達目的地。
他走進了一處陰暗的森林中。
他一步一步的小心走，他想要快點離開這裡。
突然，他發現前方的樹叢裡面好像有東西在動，他停下了腳步，
天啊，那邊竟然蹲伏著一隻好大的老虎。
他立刻抽出了一支箭然後拉弓射向那隻老虎。
這隻箭命中目標，但是很奇怪，這隻老虎怎麼完全沒有反應。
他走向前去查看，然後他大笑。
原來那是一塊大石頭，他誤以為那是一隻大老虎啊。
他想拿回自己射出那一支箭。
但他驚訝地發現，這支箭竟然深入到石頭中。
這支箭拔不出來。
這是從來沒有發生過的經驗，他走回剛才射箭的地方，
他又朝著這塊大石頭射了幾隻箭。
但這幾隻箭都無法再射入石頭之中。
這句成語被用來形容一個人只要夠專心與單純，就可以完成一些看起來不可能的任務。
