I. Background

According to legend, this story first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period of China. At that time, China was in a period of turmoil, with frequent wars and a hard life for the people. A man named Li Bing, who lived in this period, was a smart and diligent person, but he lived a poor life.

II. The Creation of Li Bing

One day, Li Bing heard that there was a way to turn a pestle into a needle. He was very interested and began to study the problem. He first thought of burning the pestle with fire, but this would only make the pestle harder. He also thought of hitting the pestle with a hammer, but this only made the pestle more twisted.

Li Bing kept thinking, and eventually he came up with a very clever idea. He decided to place the pestle on the ground and then hit the ground with a hammer. He believed that the hardness of the ground would make the pestle even thinner. So he began the long, hard work.
