This historical allusion comes from Zuo Zhuan, and the candle retreats the battle of Qin. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in 630 AD, the State of Jin invited Qin to attack the State of Zheng. There are frequent wars between the State of Jin and the State of Zheng. The fundamental reason is that Zheng offended the State of Jin in his early years. In the past, rich people built quadrangles, especially many quadrangles in Beijing. The scope of this kind of engineering building is a row of north houses, then the east and west wings. The north house is sunny and is the most suitable place to live. However, due to the harm of traditional culture, it is generally used as a place for receiving guests and offering sacrifices, which embodies the knowledge of respecting ancestral etiquette and hospitality.
The only real living room and bedroom are the kitchen and the east and west wing rooms. Among them, the East Wing is a house next to the North Wing, which is settled by influential people in the family. Therefore, people call the host family "master" or "host country". During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin and the State of Zhao joined forces to surround Zheng, and sent someone to light a candle to convince them that there was no need to surround Zheng. After explaining that the encirclement of Jin and Qin was unfavorable to Qin, Zhu Li went on to say the above sentence.
It means: If the Qin Dynasty withdraws its troops from the State of Zheng and makes the State of Zheng the host of the East Road of Qin Dynasty, then the State will also supply the things that Qin people often need in their communication, which will do no harm to everyone. After that, everyone turned the "host country" into a local host family to entertain guests. For the "owner", it is a further expansion of the "host country". People who invest in the family or business environment of the host country (company shareholders) are called "owners".
