The origin of flattery

This allusion comes from the culture of Yuan Dynasty. Speaking of Mongolian families, they will have several horses to solve the problems of walking and transportation. Herdsmen often take pride in keeping good horses. Sometimes when people meet a horse, they often pat each other's horse's ass, feel how fat it is, and casually praise a "good horse" to win the favor of the owner. At first, people sought truth from facts, and a good horse said yes, but after a long time, some people only said flattery and called a rotten horse a good horse, regardless of the quality and strength of other people's horses. It is said that Mongolia is a nation that will win the world at once, so most officials in the Yuan Dynasty are military commanders, and horses are often a symbol of a general's power, status and status. The best praise from a subordinate to a superior is to pat and praise his horse. Gradually people call flattery to superiors "flattery". This is because compliments are different, but flattery is the same. This is the origin of "flattery". After Mongolia entered the Central Plains and established the Yuan Empire and Yuan Capital, its culture gradually infiltrated into the Han culture, and the word "flattery" was handed down. Some people also say that you should never kiss a horse's ass when you kiss a horse, but because Han people seldom ride horses, they think of "kissing a horse" as "flattering". As for whether the horse's ass can be patted, it is still inconclusive. Anyway, just don't shoot horseshoes.

Flattery, a kind of knowledge full of life realm. So what if the world is cold? Do you adapt to society or let society adapt to you? An obvious choice is before us. It's hard to move without a beat. ~
