live on the land and eat what it produces
Shimaojiantu (SH í m á Oji à NT à), an idiom, originally means that the food eaten and the land where they live are owned by the monarch. Feudal officials used to express their gratitude for the kindness of the monarch. It comes from Zuo Zhuan, the seventh year of Zhaogong: "in fenglue, who is not the king's land; who is not the king's or the minister who eats the land?"
