The Chinese idiom that translates as, literally, “high pillow, no worries,” refers to the calm and confident feeling of being able to fluff up one’s pillows to go to sleep without any anguish or concern.

The idiom originates from a story about the wisdom of always being prepared and having options so that one can rest easy and be ready to face any difficulty that may arise.
