Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, a man from the state of Song found a Yan stone to the east of Wutai. He thought it was very beautiful and believed it to be a priceless treasure.
He took it home, wrapped it in ten layers of silk cloth, then packed it inside ten wooden boxes, both inside and out. He boasted everywhere that he had acquired a precious jade.
When his neighbors asked to see it, he solemnly opened the packages for them to view. His neighbors told him it was just an ordinary stone.
