In honour of the new Chinese year, which started last week and marks the start of the Year of the Ox, I thought I’d feature an ancient Chinese dog proverb.
Gŏu zhàng rén shì is an old chinese proverb that means ‘A dog trusts his master’s might.’ Woof!
When he is with his master, the dog is likely to feel mighty and powerful – just because the master is mighty and powerful. Like most animal proverbs and fables, even though the proverb talks of dogs’ behaviour, it actually also applies to human situations.
Gŏu is “dog” in Chinese. Zhàng means “trust”, rén is “man” and shì stands for “power, might.”
Unsurprisingly, people’s confidence significantly increases when in the presence of the mighty, the influential, the powerful.
