　　丧家之犬 ( sāng jiā zhī quǎn )
　　解 释 丧事人家无暇照看狗，所以狗环顾四周，无人理会，因而很失意。
　　出 处 《史记·孔子世家》：“东门有人，其颡似尧，其项类皋陶，其肩类子产，然自要以下不及禹三寸，累累若丧家之狗。”
　　用 法 偏正式；作宾语；雅语
　　示 例 汝独不见夫丧家之狗欤！既敛而椁，布器而祭，顾望无人。——《韩诗外传》
　　灯 谜 戾
　　典 故 孔子适郑，与弟子相失，孔子独立郭东门。郑人或谓子贡曰：“东门有人，其颡似尧，其项类皋陶，其肩类子产，然自要以下不及禹三寸。累累若丧家之狗。”子贡以实告孔子。孔子欣然笑曰：“形状，末也。而谓似丧家之狗，然哉！然哉！”
　　一次孔子到了郑国与弟子走散，孔子呆在东门旁发呆，子贡问郑国人孔子在何处。郑国人说东门边有个老头子像一只“丧家之狗”在发呆。孔子很坦然地笑着说：“把我说成这副模样也没什么。不过说我像条无家可归的狗，倒是说得对呀！说得对呀！”
　　释疑 无家可归的狗？——《世家》和《家语》都说孔子欣然接受了“丧家之狗”的称谓，《外传》甚至载孔子不敢当和唯独辞“丧家之狗”的称谓：“汝独不见夫丧家之狗欤……顾望无人。（丘）意欲施之，上无明王，下无贤士方伯，王道衰，政教失，强陵弱，众暴寡，百姓纵心，莫之纲纪。是人固以丘为欲当之者也。丘何敢乎！”丧事人家无暇照看狗，所以狗环顾四周，无人理会，因而很失意。礼崩乐坏、王道凌迟之际，人们属意孔子，希望他能救世，正如仪封人所说：“天下之无道也久矣，天将以夫子为木铎。”孔子虽立志于此，但处处碰壁，因而也很失意，恰如“丧家之狗”一样。但他很谦虚，不敢当人们对他“丧家之狗”的称赞，这和孔子说“若圣与仁，则吾岂敢”的道理是一样的。在孔子看来，“丧家之狗”是自己精神世界的写照，是一种褒义和善意的比喻；凄凄惶惶无家可归的人，很有可能安贫乐道、志高识远，可谓是现实世界的“丧家之狗”；身宽体胖富足优裕的人，很有可能麻木不仁、行尸走肉，可谓是精神世界的“丧家之狗”。放弃崇高理想而委身丑陋现实的“丧家之狗”是可耻的；守护精神家园而拒绝与世偃仰的“丧家之狗”是值得赞佩的——这正是孟子所说的“富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移，威武不能屈”的“大丈夫”精神，也正是人们之所以千古传诵陶潜“不为五斗米折腰”和李白不“摧眉折腰事权贵”的原因。孔子周游列国，显然并非无家可归所致，至于丧家之犬（sàng jiā zhī quǎn ）则为后人望文生义，以讹传讹之故。明显不符典故。
