Generally speaking, people who describe a smiling tiger can be described by idioms such as hiding a knife in the smile, sweet sword in the mouth, and disobedience to yin.
In life, we often use many interesting words to describe a person's characteristics. The word "smiling tiger" is believed to be familiar and used by everyone. So, do you know what kind of person a smiling tiger refers to?
The word "smiling tiger" comes from Wang Xiyan's "Disappointment and Disaster of the Ancient City": "This editor-in-chief Li is a famous smiling tiger. Regardless of people and things, his superficial modesty often shows inner dissatisfaction. " Nowadays, it is used as a derogatory term. This word is the nickname of Zhu Fu in the novel Water Margin.
Similar words are chameleon, earth snake and iron cock.
Compared with people who look so good on the surface, such people are often difficult to figure out their inner feelings, such as looking for a needle in a haystack, which may be helpful in the workplace, but it is more difficult to communicate with others in life, and may even hurt their interests, so this tells us that there is still a lot of knowledge in dealing with people, and we should have a discerning eye.
