Po jing chong yuan (破镜重圆) The broken mirror is made whole again. The Handian dictionary tells the story behind it. When war separated Xu Deyan of the Chen dynasty and his wife, Princess Lechang, each kept half of a mirror as a token, and through it they were reunited. The idiom means a couple reunited after separation, or two people reconciled after their feelings broke. Fu shui nan shou (覆水难收) Spilled water is hard to gather. Handian lists it as the opposite. What is done cannot be undone. Hao shi bu chu men, e shi chuan qian li (好事不出门，恶事传千里) Good deeds do not leave the door, bad deeds travel a thousand li. The saying appears in the Water Margin and in Journey to the West.
