Wood rotten and rotten

Wood rotten and rotten

As a Chinese idiom, Pinyin is m ù Xi ǔù zh ù sh ē ng, which means that you will make mistakes if you lose your punctuality. It comes from Tang Shunzhi of Ming Dynasty.

Decay: decay. When wood rots, insects grow.

[source] in Tang Shunzhi's treatise on xinlingjun's Rescuing Zhao in Ming Dynasty, it is said that "xinlingjun didn't respect the king of Wei, but invited her as Ji, who could see the Wei's secret; if Ji didn't respect the king of Wei, but dared to steal the Fu, she could rely on the favor of the king of Wei, and the wood decayed."

[example] Chapter 80 of the popular romance of the Republic of China by Cai Dongfan and Xu Xianfu: "the people of Zhejiang chased Lu for no reason, but sent Duan school to enter by taking advantage of the room. Why not take it by themselves?"
