it's a osmanthus tree. One of the related legends is that there is a laurel tree with a height of 5 feet in the moon. In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named WU GANG, who was obsessed with fairy tales and didn't concentrate on his studies. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven was furious and put him in the Moon Palace, where he was told to cut down osmanthus trees, saying, "If you cut down osmanthus trees, you will get magic." However, every time WU GANG cuts an axe, the tree wound will heal immediately. Day after day, Wu Gang's desire to cut laurel has not been achieved. Therefore, WU GANG cut laurel in the Moon Palace all the year round, but he still couldn't cut down the tree, so later generations can see the image of WU GANG cutting laurel endlessly in the middle of the month. See Tang Duan Chengshi Youyang Miscellaneous Volume I Tianzhi. The second legend is that WU GANG, also known as Wu Quan, was from Xihe. Sun Boling, the son of Emperor Yan, had an affair with WU GANG's wife while WU GANG was away from home for three years, and gave birth to three sons. WU GANG killed Boling in a rage, which angered Emperor Yan, the sun god, and sent WU GANG to the moon, ordering him to cut down the immortal tree-laurel. The laurel is as high as 5 feet, and it can be cut together. Emperor Yan used this endless labor as a punishment for WU GANG. WU GANG's wife also felt guilty about what happened to her husband, and ordered her three sons to fly to the moon to accompany WU GANG. One became a toad, the other a rabbit, and the other was unknown. See Legend 3 of Shan Hai Jing: WU GANG in Nantianmen is very close to Chang 'e in the moon, but he often meets Chang 'e and neglects his duties. When the Jade Emperor knew about it, he was so angry that he sent WU GANG to the moon to cut down a big tree called Moon Tree. If WU GANG didn't cut down all the moon trees, he wouldn't be able to return to the worse place or meet Chang 'e. WU GANG cut, cut, cut from winter to summer for half a year, and when the tree was about to be cut down, the jade emperor sent a crow to the moon tree, and with a swish, he took WU GANG's coat hanging on the tree. WU GANG immediately put down his axe and went after the crow. After the clothes were recovered, WU GANG went back to the tree and saw that all the branches and leaves that had been cut were born in the tree again. From then on, whenever WU GANG was about to cut down the tree, the crow would stand on the tree and cry loudly. As long as WU GANG stopped the axe and looked at it, the tree would grow branches again. In this way, year after year, WU GANG always cuts down more than this moon tree. Only on August 16th every year does a leaf fall from the moon to the ground. If anyone picks up the leaves of this moon tree, he will get inexhaustible gold and silver jewelry. Legend four: Wu Gang cut osmanthus to brew the best wine in the world-osmanthus wine WU GANG cut trees every day. Thousands of years have passed, and that magical osmanthus tree is still as old and full of vitality. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, it is full of fragrance. WU GANG knew that there was no osmanthus tree in the world, so he passed the seeds of osmanthus tree to the world. In ancient times, at the foot of two hills in Hangzhou, there lived a widow who sold wild grapes. She was generous and kind, and the wine she brewed was mellow and delicious. People respected her and called her Fairy Wine Lady. One winter, it was freezing with ice and snow. Early in the morning, Fairy Wine Lady just opened the door and suddenly saw a skinny, naked middle-aged man lying outside, apparently a beggar. Fairy wine lady touched the man's nose and mouth, and when there was still some breath, she was very kind. No matter what others said about her, she carried him home, filled him with hot soup first and fed him half a glass of wine. The man woke up slowly and said excitedly, thank you, madam, for saving your life. I'm paralyzed. If I go out, I won't freeze to death, but I'll starve to death. Please be kind and take me in for a few more days. Fairy wine lady is embarrassed, because as the saying goes, there are not many things in front of the widow's door. If a man like this lives at home, others will gossip. But think again, you can't watch him freeze to death or starve to death! Finally agreed to let him stay for a while. As expected, the gossip about the fairy wine lady spread quickly, and everyone became estranged from her, and fewer and fewer people came to the hotel to buy wine. But the fairy wine lady endured the pain and took care of the man with all her heart. Later, people didn't come to buy wine, so she couldn't maintain it, and the man left without saying goodbye and didn't know where to go. Fairy wine lady can't rest assured, looking everywhere, she met an old man with white hair on the hillside, carrying a load of dry wood and struggling to walk. Fairy wine lady was about to help when the old man suddenly fell down and dry wood was scattered all over the floor. The old man closed his eyes, his lips trembled, and he shouted faintly: Water, water … Where can I get water from the barren hills and slopes? Fairy wine lady bit her middle finger, and suddenly, blood flowed. She put her finger to the old man's mouth, and the old man suddenly disappeared. There was a breeze, and a yellow cloth bag flew in the sky, filled with many small yellow paper bags, and there was a yellow note that said, "The Moon Palace gives laurel seeds as a reward to good people." Fu Gao GUI Shu Bi, longevity is full of trees and flowers. Picking flowers to brew cinnamon wine, send it to mom and dad first. WU GANG helps those who are good, but he is treacherous and slippery in disaster. Fairy wine lady realized that this paralyzed man and the old man with firewood were all changed by Wu Gang. As soon as this story spread, people from far and near came to ask for cinnamon. Kind-hearted people plant cinnamon seeds, and soon they will grow osmanthus trees and blossom osmanthus flowers, which are full of sweetness and infinite scenery. For those who have evil intentions, the planted cassia seeds just don't take root and sprout, which makes them feel embarrassed and turns their hearts to goodness. Everyone is very grateful to the Fairy Wine Lady. It was her kindness that moved WU GANG Daxian, who manages osmanthus trees in the Moon Palace, to bring osmanthus wine to the world. From then on, osmanthus and osmanthus wine came into being in the world. At that time, WU GANG's wife, Yuanfu, because of her inner guilt, called her three sons, one named Drum, one named Yan and the other named Yan, to fly to the moon to accompany their nominal father and spend the long and endless cold years. WU GANG's three sons, one named Drum, became a toad, the other named Yan became a rabbit, and the other named Yun changed to "Unknown" Tiangui. Since then, arrows have been made, bells and chimes have been made by drums and drums, and the composition of music has been formulated. So the lonely Guanghan Palace is often filled with fairy music. Later, when Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty roamed the Moon Palace, he recorded these pieces of traveling music, returned to the world, and created "Nishang Song". Legend has it that when Emperor Tang Ming roamed the Moon Palace, WU GANG also met him! It's just that his face was tired at that time, and his axe was covered with black rust, and the worn sleeves were worn out because no one mended them. This is the first time that Wu Gang made osmanthus wine, the best wine in the world, in the era of five emperors in ancient China! ! !
