Ye gonghaolong is a Chinese idiom. Its pinyin is y è g à NGH à ol ó ng (Ye, now read y è, old read sh è). It refers to saying that you love something, but you don't really love it. It's from new preface: miscellaneous affairs 5.

Idiom explanation

Ye Gong: an aristocrat of the state of Chu in the spring and Autumn period. His name was Gao, and he was granted the title of Ye (ancient city name, now ye County, Henan Province). It's a metaphor for saying that you love something well, but you don't really love it well.

Idiom usage

Ye gonghao is good at what he is and not what he is. Liang Qichao's "warning the Chinese people of misunderstanding the constitutionalism" and Mao Zedong's "investigation report on the Hunan Peasant Movement" in the Qing Dynasty: "when the people get up, they are scared to death. What's the difference between this and ye gonghaolong's!" He angrily talks about how the society is corrupt, but secretly accepts bribes, which is no different from that of Ye gonghaolong. my love for literature is not that ye gonghao likes literature, but that I want to gain more knowledge and broaden my vision through my own efforts.

The meaning of Idioms

This story, with a vivid metaphor, bitterly satirizes the characters of Ye formula, and profoundly exposes their bad ideas and bad style of singing high profile but not practical. Through this story, we should discard the bad idea and style of "theory divorced from reality" and establish a good idea and style of seeking truth from facts. At the same time, it also satirizes the people who are not worthy of the name and who are different in appearance.

Ye Gong likes dragons, which are carved on the clothes hook and wine vessel, as well as in the living room. He loved the dragon in this way. After being known by the real dragon in the sky, he came down to Ye Gong's house from the sky. The dragon's head was set up on the windowsill to visit, and the dragon's tail stretched out into the hall. As soon as Ye Gong saw that it was a real dragon, he turned around and ran away. He was so scared that he lost his soul. He was so frightened that he couldn't control himself. From this point of view, Ye Gong doesn't really like dragons. What he likes is only those things that look like dragons, not dragons.
