Allusion
description:
The term "late bloomer" comes from Chapter 41 of the current version of "Laozi".
In this chapter, it is mentioned that the state of "Tao" is not easy to know and difficult to practice, so ordinary people laugh when they hear "Tao" Up, just because it is elusive.
In order to explain "Tao", Laozi used "generous", "big implement", "big sound" and "big phenomenon" as metaphors. These are all symbols of "Tao".
What is "Tao"? It is like the most harmonious space, which cannot be measured by human angle at all;
it is also like the most
it is also like the sound of nature, It cannot be expressed by words or musical instruments;
it can also be said to be invisible and cannot be perceived by human beings.
Later, the idiom "late bloomer" evolved
from here, which is used to describe outstanding talents who often achieve late
in life.

大器晚成
本指大的器具非一朝一夕所可完成，後引申以指傑出人才的造就晚於常人。
語出《老子．第四十一章》。
【例】他年過五十才獲得博士學位，可說是大器晚成。
典故說明：
「大器晚成」一語出於今本《老子》第四十一章，在這一章中，提到「道」的境界不易知、不易行，所以一般俗士聽到「道」，就大笑起來，就是因為它難以捉摸。
為了解釋「道」，老子用「大方」、「大器」、「大音」、「大象」來作比喻。這些都是「道」的象徵。
「道」是什麼？它就像最圓融的空間，根本不是人為角度所能衡量；
它也像最貴重的器物，需要長時間製作，所以修道之人需要長時間的修練；
它也像天籟般的聲音一樣，不是言語或樂器所能表現的；
它也可以說是無形，不是人力所能覺察的。
後來就從這裡演變出「大器晚成」這句成語，用來比喻卓越的人才，往往成就較晚。
這是根據後世傳本的《老子》演變而出的一句成語，
假如參考新發現的出土文獻，《郭店楚墓竹簡》收錄有《老子》一書，「大器晚成」作「大器曼成」，竹簡整理小認為「曼」當讀作「晚」，裘錫圭則懷疑此字當讀為「䟂（慢）」。
帛書本《老子》隸書本，則「大器晚成」作「大器免成」，意思是：「道」像最偉大的器物，不是人力所能製作的。
這種意思和上下文的「大方無隅」、「大音希聲」、「大象無形」較能呼應。並附載於此，以供參考。
*這位畫家大器晚成，年輕時毫無名氣。
*老師說像宋代蘇洵就是個大器晚成的人。
