Hi Benny,

Can you please tell me what does “回天有术”, “回天之术”, and “回天无术” means and what is the difference among them?

Thanks!

Hi Lee Kong, those are very very old phrases:

1. 回天有术 = There is still a chance/ way/ solution to help….

2. 回天无术 = There is no way/ chance/ solution to …. (it literally means even the god can’t help)

3. 回天之术 = the magic to save the god
