"There is no perfect gold and no one is perfect", which means that there are no perfect people and no perfect gold in the world. Metaphor: Nothing is perfect. It is also a metaphor that you can't ask a person to be free from faults and mistakes.

"To err is human" comes from Zuo Qiuming's Zuo Zhuan Gong Xuan Two Years in the Spring and Autumn Period: "Anyone who makes a mistake can correct it, and it is not good."

Ordinary people are neither saints nor sages. Who can have no shortcomings? Nothing is better than being able to correct mistakes.

"To err is human" comes from Ji Xing written by Dai Fugu in Song Dynasty: "Gold has no color, but white jade has defects. I am not prepared for help, I wish the old gentleman a family. "

There is no pure red gold and no completely flawless white jade. People can't demand perfection. I would like to grow old in your (husband's) home.

The allusion of "to err is human"

Jin Linggong was cruel by nature, and often used the excuse of killing people.

One day, the cook brought the uncooked bear's paw, and he brutally executed the cook on the spot. Said he saw the body with the historical records. When they learned this, they were very angry and decided to go to the palace to remonstrate with Jin Linggong.

Shiji went to appear before the court first. Jin Linggong saw from his expression that he had come to kill the cook, so he pretended not to see him. It was not until Shiji walked three times and came to the eaves that Jin Linggong caught a glimpse of him. He said simply, "I already know my mistake and will correct it in the future."

Shi Ji listened to him and said gently, "Who is not wrong? It would be best if the mistakes could be corrected. If you can accept the correct advice of the minister, you will be a good monarch. " However, Jin Linggong didn't really know his mistake, and his cruelty remained the same.

Prime Minister Zhao Dun protested many times. Instead of listening, he hated it and sent an assassin to assassinate Zhao Dun. Unexpectedly, the assassin didn't want to kill honest and loyal Zhao Dun, but would rather commit suicide. Seeing his failure, Duke Ling of Jin changed his method and pretended to invite Zhao Dun to the palace for dinner, ready to kill him while eating. But as a result, Zhao Dun was rescued by the guards, and his plot failed. Finally, the evil monarch was finally killed by Zhao Dun's younger brother Zhao Chuan.
