Definition
老资格 refers to a person who has long experience in a particular field, often implying seniority and authority. It can be used as a noun (e.g., 他是老资格) or as an adjective before a noun (e.g., 老资格员工). The literal meaning 'old qualifications' can be misleading, so it's best learned as a fixed expression for 'old-timer' or 'veteran'.
