laugh out of the other side of your mouth

乐极生悲

Chun Yukun lived in the state of Qi during the Warring States Period. He was wise, humorous and eloquent. He skillfully advised the king on many occasions and successfully went to many states as an envoy. In the year 349 BC, the State of Chu dispatched a large force to attack Qi.

The king of Qi sent Chun Yukun to the state of Zhao (赵国) to ask for help, with a lot of valuable gifts. The king of Zhao accepted the gifts gladly and sent a hundred thousand troops to help Qi. The king of Chu withdrew his army that very night as soon as he got the news. The king of Qi was released and pleased with Chun Yukun. He set a banquet for celebration.

During the meal, the king asked Chun Yukun, “How much wine can you drink before you’re drunk, Sir?” Knowing the king had a bad habit of drinking all night, Chun Yukun decided to take this chance to admonish the king. So he replied, “I get drunk when I drink ten litres or hundred.” Puzzled, the king asked, “Since you are drunk after ten litres, how can you finish another ninty litres?”

Chun Yukun then explained that he could drink different amounts of wine under different conditions. He said, “This occurs to me that when you drink to your limit, you get so drunk that you lose your sense; once joy reaches its height, then it’s sorrow’s turn. This is the rule for everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite direction when you exceed the limits.”

战国时期，齐国有个叫淳于髡的人。他幽默机智，能说会道，给齐威王出过许多好主意，并且成功出使了许多其他的国家。公元349年，楚国派出大批军队攻打齐国。

齐王派淳于髡去赵国寻求帮助，于是他带着许多贵重的礼品去了赵国。赵王见了礼物十分高兴，派了十万士兵去援助齐国。那天晚上，楚王得到这消息，马上撤回了自己的军队。齐威王松了一口气，十分满意淳于髡的表现，并决定设宴为他庆功。

在宴会上，齐威王问淳于髡：“先生你喝多少酒会醉?”知道国王有个整夜喝酒的坏习惯，淳于髡想要借此机会告诫国王，所以他幽默地回答说：“我有时喝十升酒就会醉，有时喝一百升酒才会醉。”齐威王听了很奇怪。他问：“你喝十升已经醉了，怎么还能喝另外的九十升呢?”

淳于髡就说他不同条件下能喝不同量的酒。他说：“当你喝到你的极限，你会喝得那么醉，你失去了你的感觉;一旦快乐到达了它的高度，那么它就是悲伤的转变。这是对一切的规则。无论你做什么，当你超过极限的时候，你必然会朝相反的方向发展。”
