Today, I found another one in Huang Tingjian's poem.
That year, Huang Tingjian went to work in Yexian County, Henan Province, attended the Spring Festival of Yegong Temple, and wrote a poem:
The Ye Gong in this Ye Gong Temple is the Ye Gong in a text "Ye Gong Long Hao" in our childhood Chinese book. The story of Ye Gong's good dragon says that Ye Gong likes dragons, so the walls of his house are covered with dragons. But one day, when the real dragon came to his house, he was scared out of his mind.
Therefore, Huang Tingjian said that "Ye Gong really died in the past", but he immediately added "Evil spirits are passed down from history", meaning that Ye Gong's story was false, dross and hacked.
The real Ye Gong's name in history.
Huang Tingjian said this in another poem "Arriving at Yexian County at the Beginning":
Shen Zhuliang was a famous strategist and politician of Chu State at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was really worshipped by dragons. He used to be the prime minister of Chu, and he was a minister with the ability to govern the country. Because his fief is in Ye County, Henan Province, he is also known as Ye Gong.
When Confucius traveled around the world, he also visited Yexian County and communicated with him, so there were allusions of "Ye Gong asked about politics" and "Yue Yue came from afar" in The Analects of Confucius.
Ye Gong's greatest achievement in Yexian County is to build water conservancy projects, persuade farmers and mulberry trees, and organize the masses to build two water conservancy projects in the east and west, more than 200 years earlier than Dujiangyan, benefiting the local people and being deeply loved. It is said that there are still sites, which are cultural relics protection units in Yexian County.
When building this water conservancy project, because it was impossible to draw on bamboo slips at that time, Ye Gong made a design on the wall of his home, and the ravine looked like a dragon after painting. At that time, people believed that the dragon god was in charge of geomantic omen, mountains and rivers, and could call the wind and rain. Therefore, Ye Gong drew a faucet on each water inlet and outlet to pray for good weather and made a key mark. Now, the name "faucet" that China people are accustomed to comes from here.
But some migrant workers can't understand it, so they privately say: dragons are all walking on clouds, but there are only dragons on that wall. It seems that Ye Gong doesn't really like dragons!
Later, these comments were compiled into the fable of Ye Gong Long Hao by Liu Xiang, a writer in the Western Han Dynasty, which was used to describe a person who said he liked it verbally, but actually didn't love it.
