唇亡齿寒 chún wáng chǐ hán
春秋时候，晋国想要扩充自己的地盘，就想灭掉邻近的虢（guó）国。但是两国之间还有一个小国家---虞国。于是晋国便送了虞国国君一块美玉，想跟他们借道。
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin wanted to expand its borders by invading the neighboring State of Guo. However, between the two states lay the state of Yu, so the King needed to bribe the King of Yu with beautiful jade for permission to pass through their state.
虞国官员宫之奇听说后，马上劝阻国君："虞国和虢国相互依存，有事可以彼此帮助，万一虢国被灭了，我们虞国也就难保了。俗话说没有嘴唇，牙齿也保不住啊！千万不要借道给晋国。"可是虞国国君根本就不听宫之奇的。最后，晋国军队还是借道虞国，消灭了虢国，而在回来的路上，晋国也顺便把虞国给消灭了。
Gong Zhiqi, an official of Yu tried to dissuade the King at once, "Yu and Guo are interdependent nations that should help each other when problems occur. If Guo is destroyed, Yu could be in the same position. There is a saying that teeth cannot live without lips. So we must not allow the State of Jin to pass through our country."However, the King of Yu refused to listen to him at all. In the end, the army of Jin destroyed Guo by passing through Yu and then destroyed Yu on their way back to their own nation.
