Muddling along meant that as long as he could barely get by, he would continue to live like this. It was used to describe someone who had no ambition and no long-term plans. It also meant that he was perfunctory and irresponsible. This idiom originated from the Song Dynasty's Lu You's "Jiannan Poetry" and the Yuan Dynasty's nameless "Little Sun Tu." In the story, there was a kind of bird on Mount Wutai called Hanhao Insect. In summer, it had beautiful feathers and proudly spread its wings to call itself beautiful. However, in the middle of winter, its feathers fell off and it became listless. But it still comforted itself by saying,"Just muddle along." This idiom was used to describe those who did not have a lofty goal and only looked at the present without working hard. It reminds us to think long term and work hard to achieve success.
