The Master pointed to an exposed pillar and asked a monk from the Eastern Capital, "Is there also this in your home region?"
The monk said, "There is."
The Master said, "What is it called?"
The monk said, "It is called an exposed pillar."
The Master said, "Even an old man in a three-family hamlet understands how to speak like that."
There was no reply.
Answering on their behalf, he said, "[It is] the genuine color."
