Today, Professor Xin, a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language in Wuxi mandarinedu tells the story of Lord Ye professed to love dragons to foreign interns.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man in the State of Chu who called himself Ye Gong. Ye Gong often said to others, "I like dragons very much, how grand and auspicious they are!" So when his house was decorated, the craftsmen helped him carve dragons everywhere on the beams, pillars, doors and windows, walls, and the house was like the Dragon Palace. Even Gong Ye's own clothes were embroidered with vivid dragons.

The news that Ye Gong liked dragons spread to the ears of the real dragons in the heavenly Palace. The real dragons thought, "I didn't expect that there is another person who likes me so much in the world. I have to go down and see him." One day, the Dragon came down from the sky and came to Ye Gong's house. The dragon put a big head in Ye Gong's window and dragged his long tail to the ground. When Ye Gong heard a voice, he walked out of the bedroom and looked at it. It was amazing. A real dragon was staring at himself there. Ye Gong suddenly turned pale with fear, trembled all over and screamed and ran away.

Lord Ye professed to love dragons means that he likes it on the surface, but he doesn't like it in fact. This story uses vivid metaphors, bitterly satirizes the characters like Ye gong , and profoundly exposes their high-pitched, unpractical bad thoughts and bad style. Through this story, we should abandon the bad thought and style of "theory divorced from reality" and establish a good thought and style of seeking truth from facts. At the same time, it satirizes the people who are not worthy of the name and who are different in appearance.
