Don't laugh, "hotel dog" is really an idiom!

I read the word "hotel dog" today, and I don't know what it means. I thought it was an internet term, but I asked Du Niang casually, only to find that it was an idiom, from Yan Zi Chun Qiu. I am ashamed that I am so ignorant!

There is a fable in Yan Zi's Spring and Autumn Annals: The drinker is clean and the table is long, but the wine is sour. In the problem, everyone has his own reasons. The villagers said, "The male dog is fierce. People rushed in with utensils, and the male wine was soaked. The dog called it to eat, so the wine was sour and not sold."

There are also fierce dogs in China, and so are users. People who have Taoist skills want to be masters for thousands of times, but those who use them are welcome. This is also the fierce dog of the country.

Translated into modern languages, there are liquor sellers in the market. The container in the shop is clean and sanitary, and the wine flag hanging outside the shop is very long and eye-catching, but his wine is often sour because it can't be sold. So the man asked his neighbor why. The neighbor told him, "Your dog is fierce. When someone comes to your store to buy wine, the dog jumps on him and bites people, which naturally scares people away. " So you can't sell your wine with acid. "

A country also has fierce dogs, referring to autocratic people. There are wise men who want to see the monarch, but despots slander them around, but these wise men are far away from the monarch. These despots are evil dogs of the country!

It should be clear by now that "hotel dogs" refer to those villains who play politics. Because of their existence, many people of insight could not serve the country and eventually stayed away from the court, making the country lose its talents. Now, it can also refer to the brain drain in the company because a small number of managers are jealous of talents. The enlightenment from this is that as a politician or a leader of an organization, we should be close to morality and far from moderation, take a holistic view, be observant, and not be influenced by people with ulterior motives, which will make real talents feel chilling.

I believe that many people should have met some people who are good at flattery in their work, and have seen many honest people leave with regrets. Then if you see this phenomenon again in the future, you can use the idiom "hotel dog"!
