Idioms and allusions

In the spring and Autumn period, Zheng Guozi was ordered by Zheng Jiangong to visit the state of Jin. The Duke of Jin Ping put on the airs of a great power and did not greet him. Zichan ordered his entourage to take down the wall of the hotel and drive in the chariots and horses. Wen Bo, a scholar in the state of Jin, reproached Zichan and said, "in order to ensure the safety of the guests of the princes, we built hotels and high walls. Now that you have removed the wall, who is responsible for the safety of the guests? " Zichan replied, "we Zheng are small, so we have to pay tribute on time. Your monarch has no time to meet us this time. We don't dare to present the gifts we bring, and we don't dare to let them shine at night. I heard that when Duke Wen of the former Jin Dynasty was the leader of the alliance, it was not the same way to receive the guests from the princes. At that time, the hotel was spacious and beautiful, and the princes came as if they were at home. Today, your palace is wide, but the hotel is like a slave house. The door is so narrow that you can't even get in the car. When the guests come, they don't know when they will be met. Isn't that meant to embarrass us? " Shi Wenbo went back to report to the Duke of Jinping. Knowing that he was wrong, he apologized to Zichan and immediately ordered the construction of the hotel to be rebuilt.
