Master Zhang, an old carpenter, was known throughout the village for his superb craftsmanship. The furniture he made was not only beautiful and practical but also durable. The most important secret was his "meticulous" work attitude. Once, a wealthy merchant commissioned him to make a set of rosewood furniture that had to be perfect. After receiving the order, Master Zhang began meticulous preparations. He carefully selected high-quality rosewood materials, carefully measured the dimensions, and repeatedly reviewed every detail, striving for precision. In the manufacturing process, he was extremely cautious, striving for seamlessness in every mortise and tenon structure, and even carefully polished the subtle textures. To ensure the quality of the furniture, he often worked late into the night, not missing a single detail. In the end, he delivered a set of perfect rosewood furniture, which greatly impressed the wealthy merchant, who praised Master Zhang's "meticulous" spirit, which became a legend.
