The whole China is your home(四海為家)
The name of the founding king of the Han
Dynasty was (Liu Bang). The Han Kingdom he led defeated all other kingdoms in
the chaotic generation after the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
History books record a story about him.
In 200 BC, he led an army to attack some
rebels.
Before he left, he ordered the prime
minister to build him a palace in the capital.
When he returned to the capital a few
months later, he was shocked when he saw the palace under construction in the
capital.
He immediately ordered the Prime Minister
to come before him.
he told the Prime Minister.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, many
wars occurred in various parts of China in the past few years. Although most of
China has been unified by us, there are still a small number of rebels who need
to be eliminated.
The foundation of our rule has not yet been
firmly established. I think it is a wrong decision for you to spend so much
money to build such a tall and magnificent palace.
The Prime Minister replied with a smile.
My opinion is contrary to yours. I think
that although the ruling foundation is not yet solid, we can definitely wipe
out all the rebels smoothly. We will be a stable regime.
You are our king, the whole of China is
yours, and all the land and wealth are owned by you.
The house you live in should naturally show
your authority and wealth, dignity and strength.
Do you think I've built the palace too high
and gorgeous?
Please think about it, your descendants
will continue to rule China.
Many of your descendants will live in the
palace in a few years.
So I built it a little bigger, so that
future members of the royal family can have a place to live.
Liu Bang smiled after hearing the Prime
Minister's explanation.
He said to the Prime Minister, you have
done a good job, and your consideration is more thorough than mine.
This idiom is used to describe a person who

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or

I hope this story can give you something to
gain.
四海為家(The whole China is your home)
漢王朝開國國王的名字叫做(劉邦)。他所領導的漢王國在秦王朝滅亡後的混亂世代中打敗其他所有王國。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
西元前200年，他率領軍隊去攻打一些叛亂份子。
他出發前命令首相為他在首都蓋一間皇宮。
幾個月後他回到首都，他看到首都中正在興建的皇宮時，他嚇了一大跳。
他立刻命令首相來到他的面前。
他對首相說。
秦王朝滅亡後，這幾年內，中國各地發生了許多的戰爭，目前整個中國雖然已經大部分被我們統一了，但是仍然有少部分的叛亂份子需要剿滅。
我們的統治基礎尚未完全穩固，你花費了那麼多錢，把皇宮建造得如此高大而且華麗，我認為這是一件錯誤的決策。
首相笑著回答。
我的看法與你相反，我認為現在雖然統治基礎尚未穩固，但我們一定可以順利地剿滅所有的叛亂分子。我們會成為一個穩定的政權。
你是我們的國王，整個中國都是你的，全部的土地與財富都被你所擁有。
你住的房子自然也要展現出你的權威和財富、尊貴和強大。
你認為我把皇宮蓋得太高大又太華麗嗎?
請你想一想，你之後的子孫們都會繼續統治中國。
幾年之後皇宮中將會住進非常多你的子孫。
所以我蓋大一點，也是為了讓以後的王室成員有地方住。
劉邦聽到首相的說明後笑了。
他對首相說，你做得很好，你的考量比我更周密。
這句成語被用來比喻一個人很富有而且事業做得很大。
這句成語也被用來形容一個人的志向遠大。
這句成語也被用來形容一個人沒有固定的住所。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你住的房子有多大呢?你是否認識一些沒有固定的住所的人呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
