What does oolong mean?

Oolong is Cantonese. It is a mistake and misunderstanding to make an oolong, resulting in unnecessary losses. The origin of an oolong is English "owngoal", that is, a goal scored in one's own goal, which is similar to the Cantonese word "oolong", which means "make a mistake, Uribatu" and so on. In the 1960s and 1970s, Hong Kong journalists translated "Oolong" in their reports.

Now oolong means oolong, but in ancient times it meant loyal dog. Tao Qian's "Searching for God" in Jin Dynasty contains: It is said that a dog named Oolong was raised in Jin Dynasty. A slave had an affair with his wife and wanted to kill him. Oolong injured him to save the slave. Later generations took oolong as the name of the dog.

In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi wrote a poem: "The oolong does not move, and the bluebirds fly towards each other." Li Shangyin also has a poem: "I know that the pavilion is still crooked, and I envy killing the oolong and lying on the golden seal." All belong to this meaning. But now it is often used to describe mistakes in news reports, such as inaccurate reports, wrong information and the host's slip of the tongue.
