量入為出
Determine the amount of expenditure based
on thel of income.(量入為出)
Dai Sheng was an important Confucian
scholar during the Han dynasty.
He collected many Confucian texts and
compiled them into a book, the 'Book of Rites'. This book is the 'Book of
Rites'.
It records the rules and regulations of the
ancient Zhou dynasty in China in detail. It records the etiquette and norms
that people of every social class should abide by.
The Zhou dynasty was the last feudal
dynasty in Chinese history and the longest-lasting.
The Zhou dynasty king distributed land
within the dynasty to nobles, who were kings in their own territories. They had
to pay the Zhou king a certain amount of money and goods every year.
A few decades after the Zhou Dynasty was
established, more and more nobles emerged, establishing over 140 kingdoms
within the dynasty.
The Book of Rites also set out a detailed
code of conduct for these leaders, to help them govern their kingdoms.
The following paragraph is taken from this
book:
'The leader of each kingdom, with the
assistance of the prime minister of his kingdom, must compile the annual budget
for the following year before the end of the year.'
Autumn is the harvest season. When the
people of this kingdom harvest their crops, they must each deliver a specific
proportion of grain to the country. These grains will be stored in the royal
granary.
These grains are important assets of the
kingdom and a vital source of revenue, so they must be recorded and stored
properly.
Some places in each kingdom may have good
harvests, while others may have poor ones. When compiling the annual budget for
the next year, the king and prime minister must bear in mind the most important
principle: expenditure must be determined by income.
In the simplest terms, this kingdom's
expenditure cannot exceed its income, and it must arrange its expenses
reasonably.
When compiling these budgets, refer to the
income and expenditure tables from the past 30 years to create a reasonable
budget plan.
This idiom means determining the amount of
expenditure based on income.
It is used to describe a person or
organisation that considers expenses according to income.

(戴聖)是漢王朝時代的一個重要的儒家學者。
他蒐集了許多儒家的文章，編著成為一本書。這本書就是(禮記)。
這本書中詳細地記載了中國古代的周王朝的典章制度，在這本書中紀錄了生活在這個社會的每個階層的人應該遵守的禮儀與規範。
周王朝是中國歷史上最後一個封建世襲的王朝，周王朝也是中國歷史上延續時間最久的王朝。
周王朝的國王把王朝內的土地分給王朝中的貴族們，這些貴族在自己的領地各自稱王。這些貴族們必須每年進貢一定的金錢與貨品給周王朝的國王。
周王朝建立幾十年後，王朝內的貴族愈來愈多，周王朝中這些貴族們所建立的王國超過140個。
禮記這本書中也針對了這些王國的領導者制定了一套很詳細的規則，這些規則可以協助這些王國的領導者治理好自己的王國。
這本書中有一段如下。
每個王國的領導者，都要在其王國中的宰相的協助下，在每年的年底前，編列出下一年度的年度預算。
秋天是收成的季節，當這個王國中的百姓所種植的糧食收成之後，這些百姓們要各自交付特定比例的糧食給國家，這些糧食就會被收入皇家糧倉。
這些糧食是這個王國的重要的資產也是國家預算的一個重要的來源，所以要詳細的登記其數量並且妥善的存放。
每個王國都有大有小，有的地方豐收有的地方可能歉收，在編列下一年度的年度預算的時候，這個王國的國王與宰相一定要牢記一個最重要的原則，這個原則就是一定要依據收入的多少來決定支出的多寡。
用最簡單的話來解釋這個原則就是這個王國的花費不能超過收入，這個王國要合理的安排開支。
編列這些預算的時候，可以參考往前30年的收支表，然後做出一份合理的預算編列計畫。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是依據收入的多少來決定支出的多寡。
這句成語被用來形容一個人或一個組織根據收入來斟酌開支。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你是一個會做個人預算規畫的人嗎?你每個月都能夠存下一些錢嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
