This is a legend about Zhao Kuangyin.
In the countryside around Dongying City in the Yellow River Delta, there is a traditional wedding custom: on the wedding day, in addition to putting red couplets on the gate, a pair of new bricks wrapped in red paper are pressed above the gatehouse. Why do we have to do that？ There is a beautiful legend in this area:
Before Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, Miao Guangyi passed by Longju Town and met a family who was going to get married. Miao Guangyi will look at the teacher of Yin and Yang and say, "Don't be happy now, but cry in two years." Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Why?" Miao Guangyi said that the wedding day is Mafia Day, and the main family will have a catastrophe. Zhao Kuangyin said: "I don't think it is necessarily Mafia Day or Zodiac Day." Miao Guangyi said, "If you don't believe me, come back in two years and decide the outcome." Zhao Kuangyin said, "Come." Grab two bricks and throw them on the tile door to make a mark. Two years later, when they came back, they found that instead of disaster, the family built a new house and the children were full. Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile, "Are you an ineffective teacher of Yin and Yang?" Miao Guangyi said, "It's not that I'm ineffective in yin and yang, it's that you control your blessings." The news spread that all married people in the Yellow River Delta put red bricks on the front door to avoid evil and seek happiness.
2. Why do you want to press two fast red bricks above the gate when you get married in the countryside?
In Anqiu countryside, there is still such a wedding custom: after the bride enters the door, the oldest peers in the family press a pair of wedding bricks on the gate, which are wrapped in red paper, meaning wealth; There is a pair of chopsticks on the brick, called Zaosheng; Two pairs of copper coins are tied to two chopsticks, which symbolizes the mutual commitment between people and embodies people's yearning and pursuit of a better life.
When did such a beautiful wedding custom begin? According to the old people, there is a beautiful legend! According to legend, a long time ago, at the foot of the Great Wall of Qi, there was a village. There is a big family in the village. This family is loyal, handed down from generation to generation, and has a good reputation in the village! This son just turned 16 years old and found a suitable woman to be his wife. The wedding date was given by a gentleman in the village who is good at watching Feng Shui. The wedding day was very lively.
When the bride came in, it happened that two generals of Lu, Qinglong and Baihu, passed by here. Qinglong looked at it for a long time and said to the white tiger, "This day is the Four Wonders Day. Within ten years, this family will have no children. "
The white tiger also studied it for a long time and said, "Although it was a bad day, the bride came at the right time. Ten years later, this family will be more prosperous and full of children and grandchildren. " Two people had a quarrel, and each said his own reasons. Finally, they reached an agreement: put two bricks on his door and come back to see this house ten years later to see who is right and who is wrong.
Ten years later, Qinglong Baihu really came here again, only to see that this family was prosperous, more prosperous than ten years ago. Qinglong feels strange. The wedding day was really bad. How can it be so prosperous?
The white tiger said confidently this time that the bride was very happy to go through the door. During the argument, the two men walked into the house. After the owner understood the meaning of Qinglong and Baihu, he found Mr. Feng Shui who took care of the day ten years ago.
As soon as Mr. Feng Shui entered the room, he bowed to Qinglong and Baihu. When Qinglong asked Mr. Feng Shui about his wedding date, Mr. Feng Shui once again bowed deeply to Qinglong and said, "It was really a bad day, but I counted that two distinguished people passed by this place that day. As long as two nobles arrive, let the bride in, thus turning evil into good. Plus, two nobles pressed two bricks on the gatehouse, which made any demon. Unexpectedly, the arrival of two distinguished guests today will definitely bring better blessings to this family. "
Qinglong and Baihu looked at each other and then smiled. This family is very enthusiastic about Qinglong and Baihu.
After this story got out, people knew about the Dragon Tiger and the White Tiger and regarded them as auspicious things. Since then, whenever they get married, people put their names or portraits on the outside of the gate. After the bride enters the door, it is also auspicious and happy to wrap two bricks in red paper and put them on the door. In this way, the story of dragon, white tiger and brick pressing spread farther and farther, more and more people got married and pressed bricks, and the region became wider and wider.
