A smart rabbit will prepare three hiding
nests for itself.(狡兔三窟)
(Tian Wen) was a famous nobleman in the
Kingdom of Qi in the Warring States Period of China.
His family has royal blood, and he and his
father have served as prime ministers of the Qi Kingdom for a long time.
After his cousin became the king of the Qi
Kingdom, his cousin removed him from the position of prime minister in order to
consolidate his power. He was forced to leave the capital, he returned to his
own territory.
He has a friend whose name is (Feng Xuan).
(Feng Xuan) said to him.
Because of me, all the people living in
your land think you are a kind and righteous person, and these people love and
respect you very much.
You can currently live here with peace of
mind, but if you want to live in peace for the rest of your life, you still
need more help from me.
A wise rabbit will prepare three hiding
places for herself.
I devised a strategy, I will persuade the
king of Qin Kingdom to recruit you into the central government team of Qin
Kingdom, and I will persuade the king of Qi Kingdom to resume your position as
prime minister.
I will create a situation that is very
beneficial to you. You are like a beautiful woman, and there are two men
chasing you at the same time.
I would suggest that you choose to return
to the Kingdom of Qi, because this is your hometown after all.
But you can't immediately agree to the
employment of the king of Qi Kingdom, you can take this opportunity to ask the
king of Qi Kingdom to allow you to build a royal family's ancestral temple
here, and in this ancestral temple, worship your grandfather and your ancestors
.
I believe that the king of Qi Kingdom must
agree to this condition.
He followed (Feng Xuan)'s advice.
A few months later, he returned to the
capital of the Qi Kingdom to serve as chancellor.
A few years later, the Kingdom of Chu
launched a war against the Kingdom of Qi.
Because there is an ancestral temple of the
royal family of the Qi Kingdom on his territory, his territory was finally
preserved.
In the years before he died in old age, he
lived safely in this territory of his.
This idiom means that a wise rabbit will
prepare three hiding places for himself.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
has multiple places to hide or a person who has multiple ways to avoid
disaster.

狡兔三窟(A smart rabbit will prepare three
hiding nests for itself.)
(田文)是中國戰國時代的齊王國的一個著名的貴族。
他的家族具有王室血統，他與他的父親長期擔任齊王國的宰相。
他的堂哥成為齊王國的國王後，他的堂哥為了鞏固自已的權力所以免除了他的宰相職務。他被迫離開首都，他回到自已的領土。
他有一個朋友的名字是(馮諼)。
(馮諼)對他說。
因為我的原因，所有住在你的土地上的百姓們都認為你是一個仁慈又正義的人，這些百姓們非常的愛戴並且尊敬你。
你目前可以安心的住在這裡，但若是你要一輩子都安心，你還需要我的更多協助。
一隻聰明的兔子會為自已準備三個躲藏的窩.
我設計了一個計謀，我會說服秦王國的國王延攬你進入秦王國的中央政府的團隊，我會說服齊王國的國王恢復你的宰相職位。
我會創造出一種對你非常有利的情況。你就像是一個美麗的女子，同時有兩個男子在追求你。
我會建議你選擇回到齊王國，因為這裡畢竟這是你的故鄉。
但是你不可以立刻答應齊王國的國王的聘用，你可以趁著這個機會要求齊王國的國王允許你這裡建造一間皇室家族的宗廟，並且在這間宗廟中，祭祀你的爺爺和你們的祖先。
我相信齊王國的國王一定答應這個條件。
他聽從了(馮諼)的建議。
幾個月後，他回到齊王國的首都擔任宰相。
幾年之後，楚王國對齊王國發動了一場戰爭。
因為他的領土上，有著一間齊王國的皇室家族的宗廟，所以他的領土最終得以保全。
他到年老臨終前的那幾年，他安然的居住在他的這塊領土上。
這句成語的意思一隻聰明的兔子會為自已準備三個躲藏的窩。
這句成語被用來形容一個人有多處可以躲藏的地方或這個人有多種躲避災禍的應對方案。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
