摘　　要："大器晚成"一语为老子《道德经》所援引的古"建言"者之言。从古文章法,从"晚"与"免"、"器"与"成"、"成"与"盛"诸字之间的关系等方面论证:"大器晚成"即"大器免盛";"建言"者的取意、老子援引的取意都是"最能盛者不盛";不是古往今来诸多注家及今人所理解的"贵重器物需要长时间才能完成"等意。The idiom ＂daqi wancheng＂ in Laozi＇ s Scripture of Moral was quoted from words of an ancient advisor. Analyzed from grammar of classic Chinese and relation between the characters ＂晚＂ （late） and ＂免＂ （not）, ＂器＂ （container） and ＂成＂ （ success ）, ＂成＂ （success） and ＂盛＂ （ contain ）, it is proved that ＂daqi wancheng＂ （great talents gain success late in life） is ＂daqi miancheng＂, and its original meaning according to both the advisor and Laozi is ＂the biggest container won＇t be used＂ but not the meaning in many notes and taken by people nowadays as ＂magnificent containers take time to be made＂.
