Shi: During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a nobleman in the State of Chu, surnamed Gao, who was sealed in Ye (the name of the ancient city, now Ye County, Henan Province). Metaphor looks like something on the surface, but it doesn't.

Chu Xiang's "New Order Miscellaneous Matters": high-spirited, writing dragons with a hook pen, writing dragons with a chisel pen, writing dragons with a carving pen in the room, her husband smelling it, peeping at it, and following in the hall. Ye Gong saw it, abandoned it, left and lost his soul. Five colors have no owner. Ye Gong is not a good dragon, but a good husband is like a dragon.

When he saw Lu mourning for the public, he mourned for the public for seven days and left with his servant. He said, "I heard that you are a good scholar, so I have come a long way and dare not rest to see you." Seven days, you're welcome, your good scholar is like Ye Gongzi, he is as tall as a dragon, and Ye Gongzi is as tall as a dragon. today

I heard that you are a good scholar, and I came all the way to see you. I have been rude for seven days, and you are not a good scholar. A good husband is like a scholar rather than a scholar. The poem says,' If you hide in the center, when will you forget it?' Dare to leave. "

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a magistrate named Shen Chuliang in Ye County of Chu State, and everyone called him Ye Gong. Ye Gong likes things about dragons very much, whether it is decorations, beams and columns, doors and windows, dishes and clothes, there are dragon patterns on them, and even a big dragon is painted on his wall. Walking into Ye Gong's home, everyone thought that they had walked into the Dragon Palace, and dragon patterns could be seen everywhere! "My favorite is the dragon!" Ye Gong proudly said to everyone. One day, the fact that Ye Gong likes dragons was known by the real dragons in the sky. Zhenlong said, "It's rare for someone to like dragons so much. I have to go to his house to see! " The real dragon flew from the sky to Ye Gong's home, put his head into the window and shouted, "Is Ye Gong at home?" ? When Ye Gong saw the real dragon, he was scared and shouted, "Wow! Monster! The real dragon felt very strange and said, "Why do you call me a monster?" I am your favorite dragon! "Lord Ye trembled with fear and said," I am like a fake dragon, not a real dragon. Help! " Ye Honghua didn't finish, and ran away quickly! He left the real dragon in regret and said, "Hum, it is false that Lord Ye said that he likes dragons. He's just afraid of dragons! I also flew to visit him! "

Later, everyone used "Ye Gong Hao Long" to describe a person who pretended to like something, but in fact he didn't like it at all in private!
