(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

There was a man called Guo Han in the Tang Dynasty(618-907).

One summer night, when the moon was very bright he suddenly saw a girl descending¹（下降） slowly from the sky. He observed the girl closely, and found that the dress she was wearing was seamless（无缝的） . He was puzzled, and asked why. The girl answered,"Heavenly clothes are not sewn with needle and thread."

This idiom is used metaphorically² to indicate the flawless handling of things. It can also be used to indicate a perfectly³ written poem or other literary article.
