Author Han Fei? pre-Qin period

In the Song Dynasty, drinkers were promoted to Jinbe. They were very eager to meet guests, because the wine was beautiful and hung high, but it was not sold when stored, and it was sour.

Qian blamed him and asked the elders he knew, "Is your dog fierce?" Why don't dogs sell alcohol when they are fierce? "? " People are afraid of it.

Or let the boy go to the pot with money, and the dog will drink it, so this wine is sour and not for sale.

"Husband countries also have dogs.

A man who has a way wants to be the master of all things, and a minister wins for a fierce dog.

This man is a cover, and people who have the means don't use it.

Translation?

There was a Song man who sold wine. He is very respectful and polite to customers, and the wine he makes is delicious. The brand selling wine is hung high and conspicuous, but the wine just can't be sold. He was surprised that the wine was sour, so he asked Yang Qian, an old neighbor he knew very well. Yang Qian said, Is your dog fierce? The wine seller said, dogs are fierce. Why can't wine be sold? Yang Qian said: Because people are afraid of it! Someone asked a child to buy wine with money and a hip flask, and the dog jumped on him and bit him. This is why your wine is sour and can't be sold. There are fierce dogs in the country. Talented people have the skill of governing the country, and want to use it to make the kings of big countries see clearly; Some ministers are evil dogs, jump on them. This is why the monarch was cheated and taken hostage, and why talented people are not reused!
