How to say "a just cause enjoys abundant support (idiom)" in Chinese

When To Use It

"a just cause enjoys abundant support (idiom)" maps to 得道多助 (dé dào duō zhù), a urgent social phrase for communication situations.

Use it when you need to keep a conversation moving despite a language gap, unclear wording, or missing context.

Practice it first exactly as written, then swap in your own people, places, or objects so it becomes part of your active speaking repertoire.

Tone And Delivery

The register is urgent, so speed and clarity take priority over elegance. Deliver it firmly, then add the key detail right away.

Because this is marked intermediate, focus on when it sounds natural, not just how to translate it word for word.

A good practice target is the example sentence 得道多助 (dé dào duō zhù). Once that feels natural, shorten your pause and try it at conversation speed.

Practice Ideas

This phrase becomes more useful when you learn it as part of a mini-sequence. After saying it, a natural next step could be 坐不垂堂 (zuò bù chuí táng).

A second nearby phrase to review is 缓不济急 (huǎn bú jì jí), which helps you stay in the same topic instead of translating from scratch again.

• Read the example “a just cause enjoys abundant support (idiom)” aloud, then replace one detail with your own information.
• Pair it with “Lit. don't sit under the eaves (where tiles may fall from the roof) (idiom)” next so your conversation does not stop after a single line.
• In urgent contexts, slow down just enough for the listener to catch the key nouns after the main phrase.
• If you hear a slightly different version in the wild, compare the tone and context before treating it as interchangeable.
