This is a traditional agricultural proverb related to the lunar mansions (Kartes).

This proverb is primarily used in the context of agriculture but applies to any time-sensitive task.

It emphasizes that both preparation and timing are crucial for success.

This expression is used to describe someone who continues to maintain their stylish appearance, vanity, or graceful mannerisms even as they grow old. It suggests that while their youth is gone, their desire for beauty or their charming conduct remains unchanged.
