毀家紓難 [huǐ jiā shū nán] [hui jia shu nan]—
To exhaust all family property (家產 [jia chan]) to rescue the nation (國 [guo]) from disaster (難 [nan]). The phrase originates from Zuo Zhuan, Duke Zhuang, 30th Year (《左傳 [zuo chuan].莊公三十年 [zhuang gong san shi nian]》), which states: "Dòu Gǔ Wū Tú (鬥穀於菟 [dou gu yu tu]) became Ling Yin (令尹 [ling yin]), and he sacrificed his family's wealth (自毀其家 [zi hui qi jia]) to alleviate the crisis of the state of Chu (楚國之難 [chu guo zhi nan])." Qian Xu (錢珝 [qian xu]) of the Tang Dynasty (唐 [tang]), in his essay "On behalf of Vice Minister Wang of the Imperial Historiography Institute, a Memorial Thanking the Grand Councilor for His Proclamation on Traitors and Evildoers" (〈代史館王相公謝令樞密使宣諭奸邪表 [dai shi guan wang xiang gong xie ling shu mi shi xuan yu jian xie biao]〉), wrote: "We should only wholeheartedly enlighten and advise, unite efforts to assist and harmonize, fully employ the strategy of 'sacrificing family wealth to alleviate hardship', and subsequently plan strategies of 'forgetting oneself for the nation' (圖國忘身 [tu guo wang shen])." Also written as "sacrificing the family's wealth to alleviate the nation's crisis" (毀家紓國 [hui jia shu guo]).

毀家紓難:傾出所有家產以解救國難。語本《左傳.莊公三十年》:「鬥穀於菟為令尹,自毀其家以紓楚國之難。」唐.錢珝〈代史館王相公謝令樞密使宣諭奸邪表〉:「惟當竭誠啟沃,戮力弼諧,盡毀家紓難之謀,繼圖國忘身之策。」也作「毀家紓國」。
