Long ago, in a beautiful valley, lived two master potters, Master Zhang and Master Li. They inherited pottery techniques from generation to generation, and their works were highly praised. The annual pottery competition was about to begin, and both were preparing to compete. Master Zhang spent years researching and created a brand-new glaze technique, and his works were dazzling and lifelike. Master Li's works maintained a traditional style, simple and elegant, with a unique charm. On the day of the competition, the judges carefully admired their works. Finally, Master Zhang's work prevailed due to its innovation and superb technique, winning first place. Master Li's work also received high praise, but was slightly inferior. Although there were winners and losers, both masters contributed to the inheritance and development of pottery.
