"Die for face, live in suffering" - Origin, Explanation, Historical Records
1. **Phrase**: "Die for face, live in suffering" is a colloquial translation of the Chinese idiom "死要面子活受罪". It reflects a situation where someone prioritizes saving face or maintaining appearances, even if it causes them personal hardship or suffering.
2. **Origin**:
- The phrase likely evolved from traditional Chinese cultural values that emphasize the importance of honor, dignity, and reputation (面子 - "face"). In many historical and social contexts, losing face was considered a significant disgrace, leading people to make choices that prioritized their image over their well-being.
- While there may not be a single definitive origin story, this saying captures the essence of Confucian ideals, which stress harmony, respect, and propriety in social interactions.
3. **Explanation**:
- The idiom criticizes the behavior of individuals who go to great lengths to preserve their public image, even if it means enduring unnecessary pain or difficulties in private.
- For example, someone might refuse help or avoid admitting mistakes to maintain an appearance of competence or success, despite struggling internally.
4. **Historical Records**:
- Although the exact phrase may not appear in ancient texts, the concept of "face" has been deeply embedded in Chinese culture for centuries. Classical works like *The Analects* by Confucius discuss the importance of propriety and social harmony, which underpin the value placed on "face."
- Modern literature and folklore often use variations of this phrase to illustrate the consequences of excessive pride or vanity.
In summary, "Die for face, live in suffering" serves as both a critique and a cautionary reminder about the dangers of valuing outward appearances above one's own well-being. 2008-8-7 15:26Sun Ce of the Three Kingdoms was called "Little Overlord" because he was the bravest warrior among all troops, loved to fight and kill, which made him very sim......
