Someone used to take a silk dress and cut out the full text of the translation.

Tailors can be seen everywhere, especially in Ningbo. Now people who make clothes inside and outside Beijing are from Ningbo. Once upon a time, a servant took a piece of silk and asked the tailor (tailor) to cut it, so he asked his master about his temperament, age, appearance, and when he would take the imperial examination and grade examination, but he didn't mention the size of his clothes at all. The servant thought it was strange. The tailor said: "The person selected in the youth science examination is arrogant. He must have a chest, and his clothes should be long at the front and short at the back." People who are promoted in advanced scientific research must be tired and lazy, their backs must be bent, their clothes should be short in front and their bodies should be long; Fat people have a wide waist and thin people have a narrow body; Short clothes are suitable for people with quick temper, while long clothes are suitable for people with slow temper. As for the size, there is a plan, so why ask! "

In my opinion, it's time to talk to this tailor about making clothes. Nowadays, the average tailor always measures the size of clothes as before, taking the new style as the fashion. Without knowing the length of clothes, he first has the wild idea of stealing cloth. Nowadays, it is too difficult for tailors to make clothes that fit both men and women like Du Fu's poem "Steady Fit".
