Very bright lights and candlelight(燈燭輝煌)
There was a famous novelist and playwright
in China's Ming Dynasty, his name was (Feng Menglong).
He wrote a collection of short stories.
One of the stories is a fictional story he
created with a very famous person from the Ming Dynasty as the protagonist.
This famous person is called Tang Yin. When
he was growing up, all his friends called him (Tang Bohu).
He is very clever and very knowledgeable.
He can write poems and articles. He is a
good painter and a good musician.
His character was bold and uninhibited, and
he was proud of his talents.
He wanted to woo the maid of a minister
named Hua in the central government, so he pretended to be unemployed and
widowed.
He went to work in the house of the
minister named Hua.
Because Tang Yin did a good job, the
Minister named Hua promoted him to be his personal secretary a few months
later.
From that day on, Tang Yin's identity and
status improved greatly.
A few months after taking this job, the
minister surnamed Hua promoted him to manager of a shop owned by his family.
His performance was still very good. He managed the shop's affairs and accounts
very clearly.
The minister surnamed Hua trusted him more
and more.
A few months later, the minister surnamed
Hua wanted to promote him back to the position of financial controller of his
family. The Minister surnamed Hua discussed the matter with his wife.
The Minister surnamed Hua said
I hope to make Tang Yin the financial
manager of our family.
He is a good subordinate, and I want to
find a way to win him over so that he can be more loyal to us.
asked the Minister's wife.
How are you going to win him over?
said the minister called Hua.
His wife has died and he is very lonely, so
I want to help him find a wife.
If I did that, I think he would be very
grateful and more loyal to us.
Said the minister's wife.
That's a good idea, let's do it.
The minister surnamed Hua asked Tang Yin to
meet him in his office the next day.
The minister called Hua said to Tang Yin
I think you are a great young man, and I
know that your wife has passed away. I know several girls with good conditions,
and I would like to introduce them to you.
Tang Yin replied after hearing these words.
I was sad when my wife died, but with time,
my sadness has faded.
I also want to marry a woman and have a
happy family.
I have been working in your house for
several months now, and I already have a preliminary understanding of the
personality and character of everyone in this family. So I think that instead
of introducing me to some girls I don't know, why don't you let me find one of
your maids that I like, and then let me marry that maid.
The minister named Hua agreed after hearing
these words.
The next night, the minister surnamed Hua
was sitting in the hall of his house with his wife, and he asked Tang Yin to
come into the hall. The hall was lit with very bright lights and candlelight.
He ordered all the maids in the family to
gather in the hall, and then he said to Tang Yin
You can choose whichever one of these maids
you like, and I will arrange for you two to be married.
The literal translation of this idiom is
very bright lights and candlelight.
This idiom can also be used to describe a
place that is very lively.
