Many difficulties make a kingdom prosper instead(多難興邦)
During the Spring and Autumn Period in
China, the king of the Chu kingdom wanted to make a cooperation with the king
of the Jin kingdom.
The king of the Jin Kingdom discussed with
an important minister whether to agree to the Chu Kingdom's proposal.
Said the king of the Jin Kingdom.
There are many natural barriers around our
kingdom, we have a lot of war horses, our political situation is stable, and
our kingdom is very powerful.
The Kingdom of Chu is the opposite of us,
so we don't have to cooperate with them.
The minister replied.
The situation in our kingdom is indeed as
you describe.
But we should not be complacent and proud
of it.
There are many records in the history
books.
Some kingdoms faced great disaster, but the
disaster brought the people of these kingdoms together. Instead, the disaster
inspired the courage of the people of these kingdoms.
So these kingdoms will come out of these
disasters very quickly, and these kingdoms will be stronger than they were
before the disaster.
There are many records in the history
books.
Although some kingdoms did not face
disaster, these kingdoms lost their sense of crisis because of their ease of
life. The end of these kingdoms is to perish.
said the king of the Jin Kingdom.
You are right. I should not be proud.
This idiom means that many difficulties
will make a kingdom prosperous

多難興邦(Many difficulties make a kingdom
prosper instead)
中國的春秋時代，楚王國的國王想要與晉王國的國王進行一項合作。
晉王國的國王與一個重要的大臣討論是否要答應楚王國的提案。
晉王國的國王說。
我們王國的四周圍有很多天然的屏障，我們的戰馬非常的多，我們的政局穩定，我們王國的實力非常的強大。
楚王國與我們相反，所以我們不用與他們合作。
這個大臣回答。
我們王國的情況的確如您所描述。
但是我們不應該因此自滿與驕傲。
歷史書上有很多記載。
有些王國雖然面臨極大的災難，但是這災難反而促使這些王國的人民團結一致。這災難反而激發起這些王國的人民的勇氣。
所以這些王國很快就從走出這些災難，這些王國會變得比他們還沒有遭遇災難前更強大。
歷史書上還有許多記載。
有些王國雖然沒有面臨災難，但這些王國卻因為生活安逸，所以失去危機意識。這些王國的結局走向滅亡。
晉王國的國王說。
你說的是對的。我不應該驕傲。
這句成語的意思是許多困難反而會讓一個王國興盛
