春秋时的齐桓公在管仲的辅助下,终于称霸中原。当时有许多割据一方的诸侯国,对齐俯首听命,唯有楚国不愿臣服。齐桓公想要统一华夏,可是发动大规模的战争,将会得不偿失。齐国几位大将军自恃国力雄厚,想以兵威震慑楚国称臣,便纷纷向齐桓公请战,要求率重兵去打楚国。齐桓公听了大巨们的建议,心里也有了用武力征服的打算。时任相国的管仲听了后,呵呵一笑说:“俗话说:从俭入奢易,从奢入俭难。我看这句话不一定对。” Qihuan Gong in the Spring and Autumn Period with the help of Guan Zhong, finally dominate the Central Plains. At that time, there were many vassal states that separated one side and bowed their heads to their knees. Only Chu did not want to surrender.

After listening to the commander in chief of the country, he smiled and said: “As the saying goes: From frugality to luxury, from extravagance and frugality. I do not think this is true.”
