Commentary for Kiddushin 65:4
ולא והתנן כל בעלי אומניות עומדים מפניהם ושואלים בשלומם ואומרים להם אחינו אנשי מקום פלוני בואכם לשלום א"ר יוחנן מפניהם עומדים מפני תלמידי חכמים אין עומדים
Hence it was said: Artisans may not rise<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This refers either to employees, in which case they may not rise up, since their time is not their own; or to men engaged on their own work, so that the passage must be translated, . . need not (Tosaf.) .');"><sup>6</sup></span> before scholars whilst engaged in their work.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Talmud cites a source that refers to the farmers bringing their first fruits to Jerusalem. As they enter the city, artisans stand before them and greet them. This implies that artisans are allowed to stop working to stand up in honor of other people coming through.
The resolution is that artisans can stop working to greet the farmers going to the Temple, but they may not do so to greet sages.
