Better late than never;
Idioms explain death: escape, loss; Prison: A pen for animals. It's never too late to mend. Figuratively speaking, finding a way to remedy the problem can prevent further losses.
The author's source is Warring States Policy. "Chu Ce": "It's not too late to see rabbits and care for dogs; It's not too late to mend. "
Idioms and their stories
This story comes from the Warring States Policy. During the Warring States Period, there was a minister in the State of Chu named Zhuang Xin. One day, he said to King Xiang of Chu: "When you were in the palace, Zhou Hou was on the left and Xiahou was on the right; When you went out, Yan Lingjun and Shou Jing Jun followed you all the time. You and these four people are very particular about luxury and debauchery. Regardless of national events, Ying (Chu capital, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) will be in danger! "
King Xiang was very unhappy. He scolded angrily, "Are you crazy? Deliberately saying these insidious words to confuse people? "
Zhuang Xin replied unhurriedly: "I really think things must come to this, and I dare not deliberately say that Chu has any misfortune." If you always cherish this man, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to hide in Zhao and see what will happen. "
Zhuang Xin lived in Zhao Guocai for five months, and the State of Qin invaded Chu, and Wang Xiang was forced into exile in Yangcheng (now northwest of Xixian County, Henan Province). Only then did I feel that Zhuang Xin's words were good, so I quickly sent someone to get Zhuang Xin back and asked him what he could do. Zhuang Xin said sincerely: "I've heard that it's not too late to think of hounds when I see rabbit teeth;" It's not too late to mend the sheepfold after the sheep have run away. ……"
This is a very meaningful story. You only know how to have fun, not how to do things. The result must be a tragic failure.
The idiom "Better late than never" is based on the above two sentences, which means that if something goes wrong, it's not too late to fix it. For example, a successful person misjudges the development of things, travels light and falls into a state of failure. But he was not discouraged. He thought things over patiently, learned a lesson from this mistake, and thought that it was not too late to "mend after it is late" from scratch!

1 1, happy yarn
Yan Shu
A new song and a glass of wine, the weather was old last year. When will the sunset come back? There is no choice but to let the flowers fall, as if meeting Yan's return. The fragrant path in the small garden wandered alone.
12, the deceased is like a husband, not giving up day and night. Confucius
About the author:
Yan Shu (99 1- 1055) was born in Linchuan (now Jiangxi). At the age of seven, he could write, and at the age of fourteen, he was recruited as a prodigy, which gave him a background in learning.
Translation:
1. I filled in a new word and poured a glass of wine. At this time, the weather is the same as last year. When will the sun turn around after sunset? It is helpless to see the flowers fall again; Deja vu, Chun Yanfei is back. It's sad to think that good things can't stay, but it's deja vu. I wandered alone on the path and felt very sad.
It is too hasty to lose the brilliant red of spring when the flowers in the forest wither. Helpless to destroy her, there are cold rain and night breeze. The residual flowers in the wind and rain, like a woman with rouge on her face, are fascinating and I don't know when to meet again. People grow up in hatred and grow eastward like that flowing water.
It's always tomorrow and tomorrow. How many tomorrows are there! If you wait for tomorrow every day, you will only waste your time and never achieve anything. Everyone in the world suffers from "waiting for tomorrow". Tomorrow is endless, but people are getting old. From morning till night, day by day, just like the water rolling eastward, it flies by, and the long years from ancient times to the present are slowly passing with the sunset. How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.
4. Singing while drinking, life is short. Just like the morning dew is fleeting, there are too many lost days!
5, singing while drinking, life is short, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle. Just like the morning dew is fleeting, there are too many lost days!
6. Flowers and trees know that spring is coming back, and all want to keep the pace of spring and compete with each other. Even beautiful flowers and elm money are unwilling to be lonely, dancing with the wind and turning into flying snow.
As long as it is not too late to start, the synonym of a poem is a lost corner. He also wrote that "the cold corner has passed, and the mulberry is not too late."
Interpretation: It is not too late to say that once you fail, you will get compensation once.
Ye Fan's Biography of Feng Yi in the Southern Dynasties: "Although I hung my wings and returned to the stream at the beginning, I was able to spread my wings and fly to the pond. It can be said that I lost my corner and gained mulberry."
There is another saying: the past cannot be remonstrated, and those who come can still be chased. He also wrote, "If you recognize the past and don't protest, you can catch up with those who know it."
This language comes from The Analects of Confucius. Original text: "Chu Kuang took over from the Song Dynasty and told Confucius:' Phoenix is a phoenix, why does it decline? "Don't remonstrate with the past, newcomers can still be chased. Already, already! Today's politicians are at stake! "
The past is the past, and it's never too late to do something from now on.
It is never too late to mend.
