I. Interpretation of meaning:

Deterioration is an idiom, which means that the situation is getting worse. Its original intention is that every time you look at the situation, it will get worse. This idiom is usually used to describe the gradual decline of things or the gradual deterioration of people's physical and mental state.

Second, allusions:

The story of going from bad to worse comes from Zhuangzi Zhibei Tour.

In the story, Dong Guozi asked about the nature of Zhuangzi's Tao. Zhuangzi replied, "The question you asked is too abstract to give a specific answer." Then, Zhuangzi suggested that Dongguozi observe a turtle struggling in muddy water and observe its movements and demeanor, so as to better understand the nature of Tao.

However, when Dongguozi approached to observe, he found that the turtle was getting slower and slower, and finally got stuck in the mud. Zhuangzi said: "This turtle was originally crawling freely on land, but after listening to Dong, it lost its original state and went from bad to worse." Later, people used "from bad to worse" to describe the situation getting worse and worse.

This allusion tells people not to change their original state and environment easily, otherwise they may lose their original advantages and state. At the same time, it also reminds people to cherish their own advantages and environment and not to give up easily.
