nciku Note

A seamless heavenly robe—flawless

Guo Han who lived in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) once saw a girl coming down slowly from the sky on a bright summer night. Watching her closely, he saw that the dress she wore had no seams and asked the girl about it. She replied, "Heavenly clothes are not sewn with needle and thread."
