Talk:The More The Merrier/@comment-27611134-20190115045636

About the name "多多益善", it also can be translated as "The more the better". It is an idiom about Han Xin (韩信), a military general of the found of Han Dynasty. It was first described by Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian (known as 史记 in Chinese), in the chapter of "Biography of Marquis of Huaiyin":

上尝从容与信言诸将能否，各有差. 上问曰：“如我，能将几何？”信曰：“陛下不过能将十万. ”上曰：“于君何如？”曰：“臣多多益善耳. ”上笑曰：“多多益善，何为为我禽？”信曰：“陛下不能将兵，而善将将，此乃信之所以为陛下禽也. 且陛下所谓天授，非人力也.

It can be translated as: Liu Bang (the first emperor of Han dynasty) discuss how many soldiers they can command with his generals, and each general has different number. Liu Bang asked: "Like me, how many soldiers could I command?" Han Xin replied:"You Majesty could command only 100 thousand." Liu Bang then asked: "How about you?" Han Xin replied: "The more the better." Liu Bang laughed and asked: "The more the better? Then why you are under my command?" Han Xin replied: "You Majesty could not command soliders, but you are good at command other generals, that's why I am commanded by you. And this You Majesty's ability is given by heaven, and not by human."
