dispel the clouds and see the clear sky

bring order out of chaos

lead a hand-to-mouth existence(live from hand to mouth)

don't act on one's own

dissolve like mist

Concentrate on

be insensible

set up a new banner

to strip, tie up, hang and beat sb, an ancient torture technique

Get without any labor without doing any work

rustical

Troubles come up within the screen of the court--there is internal strife afoot.

No dumb or deaf

the turn of fortune after reaching one extreme

Have an original view

Be flexible

Have a distinctive taste

speak or act on hearsay evidence

Unable to distinguish black from white

Be scrupulously honest even when there is no one around
