Once, a garden door was built by some servants of Cao Cao. When he arrived, he did not talk to his servants about their work but instead wrote a character, "活", meaning "alive", on the door. Nobody could understand what Cao Cao meant by this, except Yang Xiu, who explained that, since, in Chinese, "門" means door, writing the character 活 inside a door forms the character "闊", which means "wide". Thus, Cao Cao was indicating that he thought the door was too wide. The servants of Cao Cao then altered the garden door; when Cao Cao heard that it was Yang Xiu alone who had understood his meaning, he was alerted of Yang's talent.
