Familiarity breeds skill (pinyin: shú néng shēng qiǎo) is a Chinese idiom originating from a fable, the allusion to which is first found in Ouyang Xiu's "Returning to the Field" (归田录), which was written in the Song Dynasty.

The idiom of "Practice Makes Perfect" means that when you are skilled, you will be able to find the knack of doing things with ease; it can be used as subject and predicate in a sentence; it has a positive meaning.

It is to take a gourd on the ground, to money over its mouth, Xu to ladle discretionary oil leaching, from the money hole into the money, and the money is not wet. He said: "I also have nothing else, but the hand is familiar with it." Kang Su laughed and dismissed. (Song - Ouyang Xiu "return to the field - oil seller")

Later generations based on this story to refine the idiom of "familiarity breeds skill".

Chen Yao Zi's archery skill of piercing through the poplar at a hundred paces and the oil seller's skill of pouring oil without staining it both originated from the idiom of "practice makes perfect". Both Chen Yao Zi's archery skill and the oil seller's ability to pour oil without dipping stem from their diligent study and repeated practice.
