A Collection of Idiom Stories about "Dragon"

Pretend to love what you are actually afraid of.

Legend has it that there was a Lord Ye in the State of Chu who especially liked dragons. The walls of his house are painted with dragons, the pillars are carved with dragons, and all kinds of utensils and objects are decorated with dragon patterns. When the real dragon in the sky knew it, it descended from the sky and came to Ye Gong's home. The head sticks in through the window and the tail sticks out to one side of the main room.

When Ye Gong saw the real dragon in the sky, he was surprised, trembling with fear, and his face was livid, and he hurried away. It turns out that Ye Ye doesn't really like dragons.

This fable satirizes Ye Gong, who seems to like dragons, but in fact he is afraid of them.

"Ye Gong Long Hao" is an idiom summed up from this story. "Good" is love. Now this idiom is often used to compare and satirize people who don't do what they say.

Put the dragon in the painting into the pupil of its eyes to make it lifelike ―― adding vitality to the works of art.

Legend has it that in ancient times there was a painter named Zhang Sengyou who painted dragons very well. Once, he painted four dragons on the wall of anrakuji in Jinling (now Nanjing). These dragons are lifelike, but they have no eyes. People asked monk Zhang, "Why don't you draw your eyes?" He said, "You can't draw your eyes easily! When it is finished, the dragon will fly away! " Everyone listened, and no one believed him. They all thought he was talking big. Later, unable to stand people's repeated demands, Zhang Monk-you had to agree to draw the dragon's eyes. Strange things really happened. He just pointed out the eyes of the second dragon, and suddenly the wind blew hard, and lightning and thunder flashed in an instant. Two dragons rolled their radiant eyes and flew into the sky, leaving them in the air. The onlookers were all dumbfounded and admired Zhang Monk.

Biography of Liu Yi

Scholar Liu Yi lives on the bank of Xiangjiang River. He went to Chang 'an, the capital, to take the exam, but failed. He wanted to go back to his hometown.

He has a fellow villager who lives in Jingyang and wants to say goodbye to him before he leaves. He rode for six or seven miles, and suddenly a flock of birds flew in the field by the roadside. The horse was taken aback, left the road and ran five or six miles in one breath before stopping.

Liu Yi is sitting on a horse, and it bumps badly. As soon as the horse stopped, he came down to run errands. Just a few steps, I saw a girl in front, driving a flock of sheep. This girl is very beautiful. Liu Yixin wondered how such a beautiful girl could be herding sheep here alone!

On closer inspection, the girl's brow was furrowed, her face was sad, and her clothes were worn out. She stood there, looking into the distance from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

Liu Yi stepped forward and asked, "Where are you from? Why are you alone in this wilderness? What are the difficulties? " The girl's face was full of pain and she couldn't speak for a long time. I sobbed and cried for a while before saying, "My life is not good. I'm embarrassed to say this to you, but my pain is too deep. I'm not afraid of your laughing, so I have to tell you. I am happier when I say it. " Wiping away tears, she complained, "I am the youngest daughter of the Dragon King of Dongting, and my parents decided to marry me to the second son of Jingchuan.

I don't want to. It's hard to disobey parents' orders. The second son of Jingchuan is a prodigal son, and he does nothing all day. I tried to persuade him several times, but he hated me. Plus, the women around him said a lot of bad things about me to please him, and he tortured me every day. I couldn't stand his torture and told my parents-in-law.

Who knows that my in-laws are partial to my son and drive me here instead. Who am I complaining to? "At some point she began to cry again.

Liu Yi tried to comfort her, but she couldn't find the right one at the moment. The girl calmed down for a while, then continued, "It's thousands of miles from here to Dongting. I stood on a high place and looked in the direction of Dongting. The sky is boundless and I can't see anything. I want to ask someone to take a message. Who should I ask? How can my family know that I have suffered so much here! It is said that Mr. Wang will go back to his hometown and pass by Dongting. I want to ask Mr. Wang to take a letter. I wonder if Mr. Wang will help? "

Liu Yi was very unhappy at Wen Lang's words. He said indignantly, "I just can't stand being wronged!" If wings can grow under my arm, I will write to you at once! It's just that Dongting is flooded, and I, a mortal, can only go by land. How can I post the letter? I'm worried that the road is blocked and the letter can't be delivered, so I will miss you. "

Seeing Liu Yi's loyalty, the girl was filled with tears and said, "I really appreciate your help. If you can deliver the letter, I will repay you even if I die. I was afraid that you would not agree to my request, so I didn't tell you the way to go first. Now that you have promised to deliver the letter for me, I will tell you. In fact, going to Dongting Dragon Palace is not much different from going to Beijing. " Liu Yi said, "In that case, just tell me and I will help you run."

The girl saluted Liu Yi again and said, "There is a big orange on the south bank of Dongting Lake. The locals call it the country. You are under the orange trunk, take off the belt on your head, put on this ribbon I gave you, and then knock on the trunk three times, and someone will come out to pick you up. You follow him in, no big waves can stop you. In addition to sending a message, I hope you can tell my parents about my pain here. " Liu Yi said, "Don't worry, it's all on me!"

The girl took out the letter hidden in her little coat and gave it to Liu Yi. Then she looked sideways at the direction of Dongting with tears in her eyes. Seeing her sad appearance, Liu Yi was moved to tears. He took the letter, carefully put it in his schoolbag and asked her, "What are you doing herding sheep?" Do the gods also kill sheep to eat? "The girl said," where is this sheep? "They look like sheep, but they are all rain workers." Liu Yi asked inexplicably, "What is rain workers?" The girl said, "It's just a job like thunder and rain." Liu Yi looked carefully and found that these sheep were very strong and strode. Two eyes emit strange light, and drinking water and eating are very different from sheep. There is no difference between sheep and sheep in terms of body size and hair horn style. Liu said goodbye to a pair of girls, "I will be your messenger." Go to Dongting again in the future. Don't say you don't know me and avoid it. " The girl said, "Impossible! Not only do I not shy away, but I also want to treat you as a relative. "

Liu Yi said goodbye to the girl, walked toward the east, took dozens of steps, and looked back at the girl. The girl even lost her flock.

That night, Liu Yi came to his hometown for the night. After bidding farewell to his hometown the next day, he embarked on his way home. He stayed in Xiaoxing all night and walked for more than a month before he got home. When I got home, I didn't do anything else, so I went to Dongting Lake first.

Sure enough, there is a large area of citrus on the south bank of Dongting Lake. Its trunk is thick, and the shade can cover more than an acre. On the day when Spring Society and Autumn Society offered sacrifices to God, the sacrifices were held under this big orange tree. People call this kind of orange social orange.

Liu Yi walked to the front of the tree, changed the belt on his head according to the method taught by Dragon Lady, tied the ribbon given to him by Dragon Lady, and knocked on the tree three times. Soon a brave man appeared in the waves of Dongting. The man walked up to Liu Yi and asked politely, "Where are the distinguished guests from?" Liu Yi didn't tell him about the post, only that he was going to visit the king. Beowulf separated from the water, leading the way and leading Liu Yi forward. He said to Liu Yi, "Please close your eyes, it will come soon." Just after Liu Yi closed his eyes, he heard the wind whistling in his ear. Suddenly, Liu Yi opened his eyes and found himself in front of the Dragon Palace. The palace gate is very high, with symmetrical pavilions on both sides, and there are thousands of houses, all of which are extremely rich. There are strange flowers and grasses on the roadside.

The man took Liu Yi to a big house and said, "Please wait here first." Seeing that the room was spacious, Liu Yi asked, "What is this place?" Answer: "This is the Hall of Spiritual Deficiency." Liu Yi looked at it carefully. All the most precious shells in the world are here. The treasure that is not found in the world is also here. The pillars in the temple are carved out of sapphire and white jade. The bed is made of coral trees, the lintel is carved with crystal, and the beam is decorated with amber. All the furnishings are too good to be described in words.

Liu Yi waited for a long time in Xu Ling Temple, but he didn't see the Dragon King. He asked, "Why hasn't Dongting Jun come yet? Where is he? " "Not long before you came," said the humanitarian, "our Dragon King just arrived at the pavilion to talk to Taoist Sun about the classics of fire." He was afraid that Liu Yi would be in a hurry and said, "Wait a little longer, he will be right back."

Liu Yi asked, "What is the classic of fire?" The man said, "Our Dongting monarch is a dragon, and dragons regard water as their god. Just a drop of water can flood the valley. Taoist Sun is a human being, and people regard fire as sacred. A small fire with a big candle can turn Epang Palace into ashes at one point. Our Dragon King is good at divine reason, while Taoist Sun is good at human reason. They go to explore sacred secrets together. "

While speaking, the door of the palace suddenly opened wide and a man dressed in purple came in with a sapphire. The man quickly stood up and said, "This is our king." Said, and stepped forward to report. Dong Tingyun looked at Liu Yi and asked, "Is it a person?" Liu Yi saluted and promised, "Yes."

Mr. Dongting replied politely, "The water house is deep, and I know very little about the outside world. Sir, I've come a long way. I wonder what can I do for you? " Liu Yi said, "I am the hometown of the king. I grew up in Chu, studied in Qin, and walked out of the bank when I came home. I saw the king's daughter herding sheep in the wilderness, suffering from wind and rain and starving. I can't bear to see Liu Yi. I didn't know until I asked her that she was destroyed by her husband for no reason, and her in-laws made trouble without reason and were sent there to suffer. She asked me to bring you a letter and I'll deliver it. " Say that finish, take out the letter and submit it.

After reading the letter, Mr. Dongting covered his face with his sleeve and cried, saying, "It's my fault. I didn't listen to people's advice and sent my daughter to the gate of hell to suffer. Thank you, sir, for bringing me this letter. " Said, and handed the letter to the person standing beside him and handed it to the harem. Before long, I heard many women crying inside. The crying is getting louder and louder. Dong Tingjun was surprised and said to the people next to him, "Go in and tell the Empress, and don't let them cry out, lest Qiantang know." Liu Yi didn't understand and asked, "Who is Qiantang?" Dong Tingjun said, "It's my brother. He used to be the local governor of Qiantang, and now he has resigned and retired. " Liu Yi still didn't understand: "Why are you afraid that he will know?" Dong Tingjun said, "Sir, I don't know. My brother is honest and has a bad temper. Once upon a time, when Emperor Yao was in power, there was a nine-year flood, which was caused by his anger. Recently, Tian Qiang had a quarrel. In a rage, he destroyed five landslides and blocked all access roads. I am afraid that if he finds out, he will lose his temper and make trouble, and he will suffer with the people there. "

Before I finished speaking, I heard a loud noise and the walls of the palace shook.

Then I saw a red dragon, which grew outside thousands of feet. His eyes were as bright as lightning, his tongue was as red as blood, his whole body was as red as fire, and he was wearing a gold chain around his neck, rising from the ground. Just as the red dragon leaps, thousands of thunder and lightning are winding, and snow and hail are pouring down. The loud noise shook Liu Yi's ears for a long time, and she couldn't hear clearly. Liu Yi was so scared that he retreated again and again. Dongting Jun personally helped him and said, "Don't be afraid, sir. Qiantang knew about it and kept going. " Liu Yi said, "I'd better go back. He was so loud when he went, and he must not frighten me to death when he came back! "

Dong Tingyun said: "This is a good thing. He left in a rage when he went, that's all. It won't be like this when I get back. Please sit down. " He ordered people to set up wine.

Dongting Jun accompanied Liu Yi to eat wine, and his royal highness's band played music, and his voice was harmonious, like a cool breeze and clear clouds. The fairies danced in line. Walk up to a beautiful girl and propose a toast to Liu Yi. Liu Yi looked at it carefully. It was none other than the girl who asked him to post the letter. Although she has a smile on her face, there is still sadness in her brow. Her dress style is very gorgeous. Clouds like Xia Hong are floating around her, and an aperture like purple gas covers her head. After the toast, he gently stepped the lotus into the palace. After a while, Dong Tingjun said to Liu Yi, "The prisoner of the water mirror is coming." At some point he stood up. He asked Liu Yi to sit down and go to the palace to deal with this matter for the time being.

After a while, Dongting Jun came out again, still eating wine with Liu Yi. At this moment, a tall, energetic man in purple came out with a sapphire in his hand. Dongting jun said, pointing to this man's introduction to Liu Yi:

"This is my brother Qiantang." Liu saluted Qiantang together. Qiantang also quickly reciprocated.

Qiantang accompanied Liu Yi for a few drinks and said, "Unfortunately, my niece was bullied by that bad boy in Jingyang. Fortunately, Mr. Wang has enough courage to save her, otherwise, he will be tortured to death by that bad thing.

I really appreciate your kindness! "Liu self-effacing together. Qiantang also told his brother Dong Tingjun to handle this incident: "I started from Xu Ling Temple today and I arrived in Jingyang. I had a fight with them at noon and have been here before. I still have nine days to tell God and get God's permission. "

Dong Tingjun asked, "How many did you kill this time?" Qiantang replied: "600,000." Q: "Is it harmful to crops?" Answer: "800 Li. Q: "What did the bad boy do? Answer: "I have swallowed him." "Dongting Jun frowned and said," That bad thing is really hateful, and he should be punished. "But you are too impatient. Don't do this in the future. " Qiantang promised, "Yes."

On this day, Liu Yi was placed in the hall of condensed light to have a rest. The next day, Liu Yi was given a banquet in Ningbi Palace.

Dongting jun took out the jasper box and Qiantang jun took out the amber box to thank him. These beautifully carved boxes contain rare treasures in the world. Liu Yi declined politely and finally had to accept it. On the third day, Liu Yi was given a banquet in Qingguangge. I ate a little too much Qiantang wine this time, and my personality is straightforward. He said to Liu Yi, "My niece is the beloved daughter of Dongting Jun and married the second son of Jingyang. She is beautiful in appearance and virtuous in temperament. Everyone says she is good. It's a pity that I was bullied by that bad boy. With your help, it has been solved now.

I want to marry my niece to my husband. Our two families are related. What does your husband think? "

Liu bowed down and said, "I admire your straightforwardness. But marriage can't be forced. I'm here to save my niece from her misery. If I marry your niece now. People may think that I killed my husband to marry his daughter, and I have a bad reputation. Therefore, I dare not do it. "

Qiantang saw that Liu Yi was right and a very loyal person, so it was no longer reluctant. That night, Qiantang hosted a banquet for Liu Yi alone. They chatted very speculatively and became bosom friends.

Another day passed, and Liu Yi was going to say goodbye. Mrs. Dongting specially hosted a banquet for Liu Yi in Qian Jing Temple, and asked her daughter to come out and thank the savior. The lady said, "You saved my daughter, but you didn't repay me. I want to invite you to stay a little longer, but you are anxious to go back. I don't know if I can meet again in the future? " My daughter doesn't want to sit next to her either. The lady said this sentence emotionally, which attracted Liu Yi's attention. The day before yesterday, when Qiantang proposed, although Liu Yi declined, she still had a good impression on Dragon Lady. Look at the dragon lady again. Dragon lady seems to have some feelings for herself. At this point, Liu Yixin didn't know whether it was some regret or some hatred. His mind is a little confused. At the end of the banquet, Dragon Lady had some attachment to Liu Yi, but this attachment was very subtle. The ladies in the palace also have a sad color. Madame also presented many exotic treasures to Liu Yi, many of which could not even be named.

Liu Yi left the Dragon Palace and came to the shore along the original road. /kloc-more than 0/0 people shouldered the burden to see him off. The bearer sent the burden to the Liu family, put it down and walked back. When they left Liu Yi's house, they disappeared. Liu Yi took an item from the jasper box that Dongting Jun gave him and went to Guanglingbao Store, where he got tens of thousands of gold and silver. Since then, Liu Yi's family has become rich, and there are many matchmakers to act as matchmakers for Liu Yi. Liu Yi made several suggestions, but Liu Yi didn't agree.

A few years later, one day, a matchmaker came and said, "There is a woman named Lu in Xiangyang.

Her father is good at Taoism and has become a wild crane in the clouds, and his whereabouts are uncertain. This woman married Zhang Qinghe the year before last, but her husband died unfortunately. Mother pitied her youth and asked her to remarry. I think that woman is smart and virtuous. Let me mention it to you. "Liu Yixin thought, want to see this person, is hopeless, agreed.

On the night of the ceremony, Liu Yi saw that the woman's appearance was somewhat similar to that of the dragon girl. The dragon lady was sad and haggard at that time, and her brow was full of sadness. This woman's eyes are full of joy, and she looks more beautiful than the dragon lady. He wanted to ask, but he didn't open his mouth and kept it in his heart. But when I see my wife, I naturally think of the dragon lady.

Two years later, I had a boy. When the child is full moon, relatives and friends come to congratulate him and his wife puts on beautiful clothes. Liu Yi thinks that his wife has seen this dress somewhere, but she can't remember it at the moment. She is thinking about it. Her wife said to her husband, "What do you think? I don't remember when you saw me wearing it? " Liu Yi said, "I sent a letter to Dongting Jun's daughter. I seem to have seen her wearing clothes similar to this one in the Dragon Palace. " The wife said, "I am Dong Tingjun's daughter. Jingchuan's injustice can only be rehabilitated with your help. I appreciate your kindness, and I swear to repay you. I didn't want Uncle Qiantang to propose, but you refused.

From then on, we lived far apart. My parents still want to marry me to your son, but I disagree. Later, I heard that someone gave you a matchmaker, and you didn't respond, so you had a chance to repay. "Said," you are not a girl? How can it be a dragon girl? " Dragon lady said, "that's a lie. I am afraid to tell you my real name and refuse. " Liu Yi said:

"To tell you the truth, when I got married, I saw that you were a bit like a dragon lady. I'm afraid you'll get suspicious and dare not tell you. But I find that you miss the dragon lady more. I didn't expect you to be a dragon lady! Why didn't you say so earlier? " Dragon Lady also deliberately asked: "Since you really miss me, when Uncle Qiantang proposed, how did you refuse?" Liu Yi said: "I sent this letter for you at that time, really out of indignation, and I didn't think of anywhere else at all." I didn't respond to my uncle's proposal, which I thought was unreasonable. Actually, I already like you in my heart. Later, some people repeatedly did not mention relatives, which is also the reason. " "I know you haven't forgotten me, too," said the dragon lady. That's why you asked the matchmaker to propose marriage under the guise of Lu's daughter. " The couple recalled their first meeting and talked about their love for each other after marriage, and their feelings became deeper.

The wife wants to go back to her mother's house and ask her husband to go with her. Liu Yi agreed. So I chose an auspicious day, and the couple came to the Dragon Palace together. Dongting Jun was very happy to meet him and accepted Liu Yi as a gift from Weng Xu. Liu Zongyi told Yue Weng about the living conditions of people in Dongting area. Hearing this, Dongting Jun was very concerned. Liu Yi asked Dongting Jun to take care of the people in this area. Dongting jun promised one by one.

Since then, the Dongting area has been in good weather and a bumper harvest is in sight. People say it's an honor for Liu Yi.
