天网恢恢,疏而不漏

天网恢恢,疏而不漏
"The nets of heaven remedy all, they remove obstructions and do not leak."

恢 heart+grey=hui1 the grey in this character 灰 is from ashes, so this is literally an ashen heart. The character means "restore", "remedy"

疏shu1 means "to remove obstructions". The obstruction is on the left.
On the left is 疋pi which is a measure word for bolts of cloth https://hanziyuan.net/#%E7%96%8B
It is possibly a variant of 正
https://hanziyuan.net/#%E7%96%8F
On the right is 㐬 liu2 which is the image of a baby on top of flowing waters below as the idea of birth-baby-flow.
So this shu is the the idea of flowing water removing obstructions.
漏 what's a door of a house 户 which lets water 氵from the rain 雨 inside? LEAKY that's what!


人都难逃金钱的诱you惑huo
It is difficult for all to escape the temptation诱惑 of money.
It's more accurate and less pessimistic. "No one can escape" is more like 没人能逃跑.

尽早 = "sooner or later"
出来混 emerging from confusion 尽早 sooner or later 要must 坏的 of evil
So I would have translated that as "Sooner or later the evil facts emerge from muddled confusion".


鲜xian1艳yan4 lit. fresh+splendid
We can break down the characters to understand it's meaning. This is "fresh" as in fresh food like fish鱼 and lamb羊羔 which implies fragrant aromatic on the right we see fertile abundant 丰feng next to colorful desire 色 so this is the idea of romance as well as of superabundant color.
