Today's idiom: 害群之马(hài qún zhī mǎ)
The idiom is from Zhuangzi. It refers to an ancient Chinese fable in which the Yellow Emperor meets a shepherd boy in Juci Mountain (in Central Henan) and asks him how to govern the world. The boy says governing the world is the same as herding horses, that is, expelling the horses that bring trouble to the herd. Chinese people use it to describe the troublemaker or the blacksheep.
今日成语：害群之马
该成语出自《庄子·杂篇·徐无鬼》。传说黄帝在具茨山（位于河南省中部）遇到一个牧童，问他如何治理天下。牧童说，治理天下跟牧马一样，只要把危害马群的马驱逐出去就行了。后用此比喻危害社会或集体的人。
