Lit Only the officials are permitted to set fires, [but] the common people are not [even] permitted to light lanterns.

Fig Great folks may set the town on fire, but the common people can't even light lanterns. “One may steal a horse while another may not look over a hedge.”

Note [This yanyu refers to a prefectural governor named Tian Deng who is said to have tabooed the use of any words homophonous with any part of his name. Thus he declared that the traditional displaying of lanterns at the Lantern Festival could not be referred to as fàng dēng, “displaying lanterns,” but only as fànghuǒ, “setting fires,” and the common people were forbidden to refer to diǎn dēng, “lighting lanterns.” See Gǔ-Jīn Tán Gài (chap. 1) by Féng Mèng Lóng. Note: (lǎo)bǎixìng, (lit) “(old) hundred surnames,” is a traditional term for the common people.]
