只許州官放火,不許百姓點燈的英文翻譯

基本釋義

It's recorded in ancient literature that once an official named Tian Deng required people to call lamps or lanterns "fire" because lamp and lantern (燈) have the same pronunciation with his given name (登) in Chinese. At the Lantern Festival, he published a bulletin, saying that "本州依例放火三日" (there will be fire display for three days in this prefecture). Then "只許州官放火, 不許百姓點燈" became used to express that someone may do as one wants but shouldn't allow others to do something normal and reasonable.
