着手成春

Traditional著手成春

  1. lit. set out and it becomes spring (idiom); to effect a miracle cure (of medical operation)
  2. to bring back the dead
  3. once it starts, everything goes well

“bring back life to patients (said in praise of a good medical doctor); a touch of the hand brings back spring”

着手:动手。一着手就转成春天。原指诗歌要自然清新。后比喻医术高明,刚一动手病情就好转了。

Origin 唐·司空图《诗品·自然》:“俯拾即是,不取诸邻,俱道适往,着手成春。舅逢花开,如瞻岁新。”
