这个成语在今天也很有用。比如，有的公司天天喊“欢迎创新”，可员工真提出一个新想法，领导却说风险太大。
zhè gè chéngyǔ zài jīntiān yě hěn yǒuyòng bǐrú yǒu de gōngsī tiāntiān hǎn huānyíng chuàngxīn kě yuángōng zhēn tíchū yí gè xīn xiǎngfǎ lǐngdǎo què shuō fēngxiǎn tài dà
The idiom is still very useful today. For example, some companies proclaim "We welcome innovation" every day, but when an employee actually proposes a new idea, management says it's too risky.
