In the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476BC), there lived in Chu a person named Chu Zhuliang, who addressed himself as "Lord Ye". It's said that this Lord Ye was very fond of dragons. The walls had dragons painted on them. The beams and pillars and the doors and the windows were all carved with them. As a result, his love for dragons was spread out. When the real dragon in heaven heard of this Lord Ye, he was dee* moved. He decided to visit Lord Ye to thank him.
You might think Lord Ye would have been very happy to see a real dragon. But, in fact, at the sight of the creature, he was scared out of his wits and ran away as fast as he could.
From then on, people knew that Lord Ye only loved pictures or carvings which look like dragons, not the real thing.
梁 beam 柱 pillar 传扬 spread out

春秋楚国沈诸梁，自称“叶公”。据说，这位叶公爱龙成癖，家里的梁、柱、门、窗上都雕着龙，墙上也画着龙。 就这样，叶公爱好龙的名声，被人们传扬开了。天上的.真龙，听说人间有这么一位叶公，对它如此喜爱，很受感动，决定去叶公家对他表示谢意。
人们也许会想叶公看见真龙时会有多高兴。实际上，当叶公看见那条龙时，顿时吓得魂飞魄散，赶紧逃走。
从此人们明白了叶公爱好的其实并不是真龙，而是似龙非龙的东西而已。
——《叶公好龙》续写作文 (菁华3篇)
叶公见到了真龙以后，吓得拔腿就跑，连脸色都变了，真龙很奇怪，想：咦？叶公不是很喜欢我吗？怎么会怕我呢？它实在想不出个所以然来，只好灰心丧气的回到了天宫。
叶公离开家后，吓得两腿发抖，脸发白，差点就尿裤子了。过了几个时辰，天色渐渐暗了下来，叶公猜想真龙应该走了，才心惊胆战的回到了家。
回家后，叶公还是心神不宁，他害怕得钻进了被子里，念到：“真龙啊真龙，求求你别来......”忽然感到两腿间一热......
又过了几个时辰，叶公猜想到真龙不会再来了，就来了精神，跑到客厅，把家中所有的龙都给擦了，便擦还边说：“该死的龙！我让你吓我！”
这时，天空顿时电闪雷鸣，虾兵蟹将从天而降。原来，龙王回到天宫以后，终于明白了：叶公根本就不喜欢自己！他大发雷霆，要把叶公带到天宫审问，龙王一拍惊堂木，叶公心想：啊？真龙来了！快溜之大吉！刚要走，虾兵蟹将立马拦住他，龙王问道：“叶公，你为什么不喜欢我？”叶公吓得说不出话来了，龙王大怒，喝道：“叶公胆大包天，明日午时三刻，处斩！”这时，叶公“啊”的叫了一声，倒地而死，临死前心想：我怎么这么背啊......
大家应该都记得叶公好龙的故事吧，但故事并没有就此结束。
叶公虽然被天上的龙吓了一跳，但他仍就十分喜欢龙。
一天，他去海边游泳，捡到了一个奇形怪状的东西，他想：世上还有这样的东西，我要带回去好好观察。接着，他就将那个宝物带了回去，放在一个木匣子里，天天都要好好的看一看。
可是，有一天当他再一次打开木匣子时，看见的却是一条全身天蓝，外貌可爱的小蓝龙。这时，他恍然大悟，原来自己捡回来的是一个龙蛋，而现在这个龙蛋已经孵化出了一条小龙。他欣喜若狂，立刻让人上了十条鱼，小龙一下子就吃了一条鱼，眨眼间，十条鱼已经成为了小龙的腹中之物。
就这样，小龙就在叶公家“住”了下来，随着时光的流逝，小龙也一天天的长大了，直到那一天……
那一天，叶公和小龙在院子里玩耍，忽然，从远处飞来了一条龙。大怒道；“大胆叶公，竟然敢偷了我的儿子，看我今天不扒了你的皮，煮了你的肉！”小龙说：“谁是你儿子，他才是我爸爸。”说着，小龙指着叶公。原来，这条龙就是东海龙王。这时，叶公站了出来，他把自己捡到龙蛋的事情说了一遍。东海龙王这才意识到原来是自己误会叶公了，它刚想拉着小龙回去，结果小龙不愿意了。叶*慰道：“这是你爸爸，你也应该回去了，再说如果你想我的话，随时都可以来找我。”小龙这才依依不舍地跟叶公告别了。
下凡的真龙看见“好龙”的叶公尖叫着逃跑了，非常生气：“这个骗子，原来不是真的喜欢我，我要好好教训他！”说完，它就腾空而去。它召集了四海龙王，变作四位秀才，下到了凡间。
而叶公自从这件事以后，一形如总是提心吊胆，生怕真龙再次造访他家。可是没过多久，他就忘记了这件事。四位秀才见了，就努力接*他，和它交上了朋友。
不久，他们一交到叶公家作客。进门后，他们便施展法术，把叶公绑了起来，又把他衣服上，墙壁上，柱子上，家具上所有龙的图案都毁掉了。四位秀才现出了原形，变成了四条有长长的身体，巨大的头颅，锋利的牙齿的巨龙。叶公见了，面如土色，吓得差点昏过去。四条巨龙对他说：“叶公，你一直谎称说喜欢我们，却被我们吓跑了，怎么能表里不一呢？”叶公战战兢兢地说：“饶命啊！我再也不敢了，再也不敢了！”龙王们见他承认了错误，便替他松绑，放心地飞回天宫去了。
后来，叶公重建了房屋，又重绣了衣服，但是这一回，上面一条龙也没有了。从那以后，叶公再也没有夸大其词，满口谎言了。
——中秋节的英文介绍 (菁华3篇)
moon 月亮
Autumn 秋季
moon cake月饼
reunion 团聚
In Fujian Province
In Pu City, females must cross the Nanpu Bridge to pray for a long life. In Jianning, people light lanterns to pray to the moon for their babies. In Shanghang county, children have to get down on their knees when they worship the moon. In Long Yan, while eating moon cakes, parents will dig a small hole in the center of the cakes, which means that some secrets should be kept from children.
In Guangdong Province
In Chaoshan, women and children will worship the Moon. When the night comes, they will burn joss sticks in front of a table of fresh fruits as a sacrifice. At that night they will also eat taros. There are two reasons why people there eat this vegetable. One is that August is the best time to eat ripe taros, and the other comes from a story. In 1279 the Mongols defeated the Southern Song Dynasty and formed the Yuan Dynasty, and they carried out their cruel domination over the Han Chinese. At that time, a well-known general called Ma Fa held out in Chaozhou to fight with Mongols. When he failed, most citizens were killed. Because the Chinese word for taros and Mongols were similar, from then on people eat taros to prove that they will always remember the pain. To eat the taro means to eat the heads of the Mongols.
In the south of Yangtze River valley
In Nanjing people will not just eat moon cakes, they will also eat another famous dish called Guihua Dark. This dish could only be cooked during the Mid-Autumn Day, because it is cooked with osmanthus flowers, which blossoms in August.
In Wuxi of Jiangsu province, people like to burn joss sticks to celebrate this special festival. The burned joss sticks are wrapped in tulle with beautiful paintings of Moon Palace or Chang'e.
In Ji'an County of Jiangxi province, peasants burn pottery jars with straws and vinegar so that the smell of the vinegar can spread all over the villages. In Xincheng County, people celebrate this festival by lighting oil lamps from the 11th day of the 8th lunar month to the 17th day.
In Sichuan province
People will prepare a lot of food like moon cakes, ducks, glutinous rice cakes, and rice dumplings. In some places, people light orange lamps, or ask children run in the streets with pomeloes decorated with burning incense in their hands. In Jiading, they worship the God of the Land and play some local dramas to celebrate this special day.
"Zhong Qiu Jie", which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon - an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns.
"Zhong Qiu Jie" probably began as a harvest festival. The festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.
According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it. One day, all 10 suns appeared together, scorching the earth with their heat. The earth was saved when a strong archer, Hou Yi, succeeded in shooting down 9 of the suns. Yi stole the elixir of life to save the people from his tyrannical rule, but his wife, Chang-E drank it. Thus started the legend of the lady in the moon to whom young Chinese girls would pray at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the 14th century, the eating of mooncakes at "Zhong Qiu Jie" was given a new significance. The story goes that when Zhu Yuan Zhang was plotting to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty started by the Mongolians, the rebels hid their messages in the Mid-Autumn mooncakes. Zhong Qiu Jie is hence also a commemoration of the overthrow of the Mongolians by the Han people.
During the Yuan Dynasty (A.D.1206-1368) China was ruled by the Mongolian people. Leaders from the preceding Sung Dynasty (A.D.960-1279) were unhappy at submitting to foreign rule, and set how to coordinate the rebellion without it being discovered. The leaders of the rebellion, knowing that the Moon Festival was drawing near, ordered the making of special cakes. Packed into each mooncake was a message with the outline of the attack. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the government. What followed was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368-1644). Today, moon cakes are eaten to commemorate this event.
Mid-Autumn Day is a traditional festival in China. Almost everyone likes to eat mooncakes on that day. Most families have a dinner together to celebrate the festival. A saying goes, "The moon in your hometown is almost always the brightest and roundest". Many people who live far away from homes want to go back to have a family reunion . How happy it is to enjoy the moon cakes while watching the full moon with your family members.

——叶公好龙扩写作文 (菁华3篇)
从前，有一位叶公子高，大家都叫他叶好龙。叶公非常非常喜欢龙，逢人便说：“你看，我衣服的带钩上刻着龙，我家的酒杯、盘子还有筷子上都刻有龙，我家的墙上全都是龙的壁画。我爱画各种各样的龙，爱写关于龙的诗词，更爱看关于龙的书。我真是太喜欢龙了!”
天上的真龙听说了，非常高兴，它笑着说：“原来人间也有如此喜欢我的人，我一定要去拜访拜访他，交个朋友。哈哈哈哈……!”
于是，龙悄悄地把头探进叶公家的窗户里，把尾巴拖在厅堂里。龙看见叶公正在专心致志地画自己，异常兴奋，它想：既然你那么喜欢我，我就让你看看真正的我吧。
龙用尾巴轻轻地碰了叶公一下，叶公一看到龙，一下就呆住了。手指向龙，全身发着抖说：“你、你是何等、等怪物，怎么在、在我的屋子里!”
等叶公回过神来，就以迅雷不及掩耳之势转身就跑。龙看到叶公的脸都变白了，被吓得魂不附体，一下就不见了。
龙愣在那里，这和它想象的完全相反。龙失望极了，叹了一口气说：“唉，我还以为这次找到了知音。原来是一个这么惧怕我的人。原来，他不喜欢活的我，而是喜欢不能动、死的我。罢了，罢了，我还是回到天上去，别在想人间的事了!”
说完，龙垂头丧气地回到天上去了。
这个故事讽刺了那些只是口头上说喜欢某种事物，言行却不一致的人。我们要真心喜欢某种事物的话，就不能叶公好龙哦!
传说，那一天真龙来到了叶公家，那阵势可大了：真龙坐着由四条小龙抬着的黄金大轿来到了叶公家门口，慢条斯理地从轿子里走了出来，把头探进叶公家的窗子里。
叶公此时正在欣赏龙的图案，见真龙的头在窗子里，顿时被吓坏了：他吓得脸色铁青，直喘大气，直接摔在地上。
这时，真龙看见了叶公，问道：“叶公，你不是最喜欢我了吗?怎么见到我还吓成这副模样?”
叶公好不容易缓过神来，便转身站了起来立刻跑走了，似乎并没有听见龙的那番话。龙也不是个好脾气，见叶公如此的态度，顿时火冒四丈，飞了过去，打算好好追问叶公，不过在这之前，他要好好惩罚一下叶公。
他飞在叶公家上，一口气吐出一团大火，烧掉了叶公家，然后，使劲地向叶公飞去，不一会儿，龙就站在了叶公面前。
乡里的人们也都出来围观，看看叶公究竟与龙发生了什么。
龙委屈地把事情一五一十地告诉了人们。人们纷纷指责叶公：“叶公，你不是最喜欢龙了吗?”“叶公，你怎么不好好招待龙呢?真没礼貌!”······叶公被说得无可奈何，只好对大家坦白：“实话告诉你们吧!我并不是真喜欢龙，我只是觉得龙很好看罢了。你们现在明白了吧!”
龙听了这番话，伤心、沮丧地回到了天庭。
“救命呀！龙来了！”叶公子高从房子里奔出来，一路狂奔一路大叫着。看见龙没有追上来，他一屁股坐在地上，大口喘着粗气。这究竟怎么回事呢？叶公不是喜欢龙吗？还是听我娓娓道来吧！
叶公子高非常喜欢龙，喜爱到门上刻着龙，桌子上刻着龙，墙壁上也画着龙，就连他的衣服上也有龙的程度。在叶公家做客的朋友都说：“一走进叶公家，好像走进了龙的世界一样！”
于是，叶公酷爱龙的这个消息一传十，十传百，就连天上的真龙也知道了，它半信半疑，心想：我真的那么受叶公喜欢吗？我还是下去看看吧。天龙迫不及待地飞到叶公家，龙头从窗户探进来，龙尾拖在厅堂里。此时，叶公正在写毛笔字，他听到响声后抬头一看，他竟然看到真龙了，只听“啪”的一声，毛笔掉在地上，“啊——龙来了—— ” 叶公在慌乱中鞋也顾不上穿，不顾一切地冲了出来，失魂落魄，五色无主，吓得面色都变了。直到现在，一提到龙，叶公还心有余悸呢！
由此看来，叶公并不是真的喜欢龙，他喜欢的，是似龙非龙的东西。
同学们，像叶公这样表里不一，口是心非的人，在生活中也有，我们不能学他们哦！
