What kind of character is Ye Gong? What kind of person is Ye Gong

Ye Gong is a person who claims to love something, but in fact he doesn't really like it, and he is even afraid and disgusted. "Ye Gong is a good dragon" is a metaphor that verbally says that he likes something, but in fact he doesn't really like it. From Liu Xiang's "New Preface: Miscellaneous Matters V".

Original text: Ye Gongzi is a good dragon, the hook is used to write the dragon, the chisel is written to write the dragon, and the house carving is written to write the dragon. So Tianlong heard it, peeped at the head, and gave the tail in the hall. When Ye Gong saw it, he abandoned it and left, lost his soul, and had no owner. It is Ye Gong who is not a good dragon, and a good husband who is like a dragon rather than a dragon.

Translation: Ye Gong likes dragons, dragons are engraved on his clothes and wine vessels, and dragons are also carved and decorated in the living room. He loved dragons so much that after being known by the true dragon in the sky, he descended from the sky to Ye Gong's house, and the dragon's head was on the windowsill to visit, and the dragon's tail stretched out into the hall.

When Ye Gong saw that it was a real dragon, he turned around and ran, so frightened that he seemed to have lost his soul, frightened, and couldn't control himself. From this point of view, Ye Gong doesn't really like dragons, he just likes things that look like dragons instead of dragons.

Moral : This story, with a very vivid metaphor, spicily satirizes the characters of Ye Fang, and profoundly exposes their bad ideas and bad styles that only sing high-pitched and unrealistic. Through this story, we should discard the bad thinking and bad style of "detaching theory from reality" and establish a good idea and style of seeking truth from facts.

At the same time, it also satirizes people who are not worthy of the name and are inconsistent.

It means that Ye will no longer return to Beijing (Ye is a person in history, is a personal name) Zhao Tuo After Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he began to advance to the land of Lingnan Baiyue. In the first year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), Ren Huan died of illness, and Zhao Tuo immediately gave instructions to the army at the gate of Nanling City to defend against danger.

And took the opportunity to kill the ** sent by the Qin Dynasty to Nanhai County and replace him with his relatives. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, in the third year of Gaozu (204 BC), Zhao Tuo set out to annex Guilin County and Xiangjun County, and established the Nanyue State in Lingnan.

The story of Ye Gong Haolong originates from "New Preface: Miscellaneous Matters" written by Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty. The story takes place in Ye County of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period, which is the area of Ye County in today's Henan Province. Shen Zhuliang, the county commander of Ye County, has a high character and is a person who loves dragons.

He painted dragons on belt buckles, dragons were carved on the lords and bottles of sacrifices and drinks, and dragons were also carved and decorated on houses. He is known for his admiration for dragons. When the dragon in the sky heard about it, he came down to visit Ye Gong's residence.

Allegorical revelation is often used as a metaphor for a superficial love of something, but in fact not a real liking. The story of Ye Gong Haolong also satirizes Ye Fang's characters bitterly, exposing the kind of thinking and style that only sings high-profile and is not practical. Sometimes, we also use this idiom to satirize the kind of words and deeds that are not worthy of the name.

1. Hypocrites who are inconsistent.
