MEANING:
This is an idiom. It means that everything that happens to a human being, such as life and death, is determined by God's will and cannot be fully controlled by human hands. This idiom is often used to express a kind of human attitude of letting nature take its course and taking things as they come. It originated from the ancient Chinese idea of Heavenly Fate, which believed that everything in human society was determined by god, and that people's life, death, wealth and prosperity were also determined by god. This thought reflects the ancient human's reverence for the power of nature. Although the idea that life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and riches are determined by god expresses a fatalistic attitude towards life, it also reminds people that they should go with the flow of nature, take things as they come, and not to force things too much. This kind of human attitude is still instructive to us today.
