If you celebrate your father's death, it's hard for you(qìng fù bù sǐ，lǔ nàn wèi yǐ)

If you celebrate your father's death, it's hard for you

It is a Chinese complex sentence idiom, which comes from Zuozhuan min A.D. Qingfu is the son of the state of Lu, who killed two monarchs one after another. Zhong sunqiu, a senior official of the state of Qi, said that if Qingfu was not removed, the disaster of the state of Lu would not end. Later, he used it to mean that if the culprits of civil strife were not removed, the state would not be at peace. In a sentence, it is usually used as an object with a derogatory meaning.

The origin of Idioms

Qi Zhongsun Qiu came to the province in difficulty, and the book said "Zhongsun", which is also Jiazhi. Zhongsun GUI said, "if you don't go to celebrate your father, it will be difficult for Lu." The duke said, "if so, where will you go?" He said to him, "it's very difficult. I'll kill myself. I'll treat you." (Zuozhuan min ad Nian) in the book of Jin, biography of Li Mi, the phrase "if you don't go to celebrate your father, it's not difficult for Lu to die" is changed to "if you don't celebrate your father, it's not difficult for Lu to die".

Idiom story

in the spring and Autumn period, Duke Lu Zhuang of the state of Lu wanted to make ban, the son of Meng Ren, the beloved imperial concubine, the crown prince, so he asked his second younger brother Shu Ya for advice. Shu Ya said, "Prince Qing's father is very talented and can inherit the throne." Childe Qingfu is Zhuang Gong's younger brother. Zhuang Gong was not satisfied with his answer, so he asked Ji you, a younger brother. Ji you said, "it's most suitable to be the crown prince. In the future, I will try my best to support him." Before long, Duke Lu died. Ji you and the doctors helped ban become the king of Lu. The son Qingfu wanted to inherit the throne, but he failed. He secretly contacted AI Jiang, the wife of Duke Lu zhuanggong, murdered ban, and made him king Lu. A year later, Qingfu decided to be king himself. He sent someone to assassinate Kai. Qingfu killed two monarchs in succession, causing chaos in the government and the public of the state of Lu, and the people began to revolt against Qingfu. At this time, Ji you, who fled abroad, took the opportunity to summon the state of Lu's doctors and generals to attack Qingfu. Qingfu saw that something was wrong and fled to Ju in a hurry. After returning from mourning in the state of Lu, Zhong sun Qiu, a senior official of the state of Qi, sighed, "if you don't get rid of Qing Fu, the state of Lu will not be peaceful. As soon as Fu Qing's father left, Ji you brought Shen back home with him. He asked Duke Huan of Qi to take the throne and made Shen the king of Lu. According to Ji You's advice, Duke Lu sent someone to send gifts to the state of Ju, asking the king of Ju to punish Qingfu on his behalf. Qingfu was desperate and finally committed suicide. The civil strife in the state of Lu can be regarded as calm.

The meaning of Idioms

In order to win the throne, Qingfu, the younger brother of Duke Zhuang of Lu, killed two monarchs and created civil strife in Lu. Duke Huan of Qi sent people to investigate the situation. The people who came back said, "if you don't go to celebrate your father, it's not hard for Lu." That is to say, if we don't get rid of Qingfu, the disaster of the state of Lu will never stop. This sentence is later used as a metaphor to show that the country and the people will not be at peace unless the main culprits of the chaos are removed. Later generations also compared those who often caused civil strife to those who celebrated their father.
