Ye loves dragons, and only carved dragons on long hooks and wine vessels, and carved dragons at home. In this way, when he was known by the dragon in the sky, he fell from the sky to Ye Gong's home. Someone visited him on the windowsill, and his dragon tail reached into the hall. When Ye Gong saw a dragon, he turned around and ran away, scaring him like a lost soul, terrified and unable to control himself. Therefore, Ye doesn't really like dragons. He just likes things that look like dragons, not dragons.

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! "
