Folk customs and legends of Tanabata in southern Fujian

In southern Fujian, the legendary "seven fairies" are not a fairy, but seven godmothers, commonly known as "seven fairies", and it is said that the seventh day of July is the birthday of the "seven fairies", so people call this day "the birth day of the seven godmothers". This may be the evolution of Tanabata folk custom with strong religious atmosphere in southern Fujian.

Since ancient times, in the minds of working women in southern Fujian, "Qi Ma Year" is the embodiment of beauty, kindness, love and auspiciousness, which can protect the healthy growth of children. Therefore, there is a folk custom of "worshiping the sun" on Tanabata. According to the records of Quanzhou Prefecture, the spring custom of Qixi is "begging for cleverness", "aged melons and fruits" and "children and grandchildren worship their grandchildren". According to this custom, in the first year after a child is born, the first Chinese Valentine's Day will be a "new contract", which means to worship the Year of Qi Ma as the adoptive mother (called "Qi Mu" in Minnan dialect). At the age of sixteen, "Chinese Valentine's Day" in that year was a "contract washing", which meant that he was baptized when he grew up and left the "Year of Qi Ma". With the development of the times, this folk custom has been abandoned by many urban families, but its remains can still be seen in rural areas.

According to the traditional custom, the worship of "Seven Mothers" on Tanabata in southern Fujian has a strong folk color, and because people think that "Seven Mothers" are seven, they are all related to "Seven". Mainly include: Qiniang sedan chair (seven rides) and Qiniang pavilion (with seven immortals inside), as well as other fruits and vegetables, sweets (cooked dumplings), wine bottles, chopsticks and so on. There are usually seven. In addition, there are women-only flowers, cooked flowers, rouge, pollen, scissors, red bun ropes and so on. "Qiniang Sedan" and "Qiniang Pavilion" retain the exquisiteness of folk paper binding art, especially "Qiniang Pavilion", and the more exquisite pavilions are decorated with painted "Qiniang" clay dolls, which are really elegant. It is said that the spread of Qiniang Pavilion originated in the Song Dynasty. "Tokyo Dream China" records: "Tanabata is a building and hall made of brocade and green, decorated with flowers and fruits." ... with seats to worship cows and girls. "Seven niang pavilion may have originated in this place.

About the legend of Tanabata, Minnan has its wonderful story. Legend has it that the Emperor of Heaven was very angry with the Seven Fairies for marrying Yong Dong. He separated the loving couple with the Milky Way as the boundary, then allowed them to meet once every seven days, and ordered the magpie to pass this order on to them. Unexpectedly, the magpie mistakenly reported the seven-day meeting as a meeting on July 7 every year. Up to now, there is still a saying that "a guest bird (magpie) gives good news" in southern Fujian. Although the magpie reported the wrong happy event and the news was misinformed, it was sent by the order of the Emperor of Heaven, so the mistake must be corrected and cannot be changed. Therefore, the magpie was punished in order to bridge the gap between the cowherd and the weaver girl on Tanabata every year. It is said that magpies can't be seen on July 7, because they are all bridged; After Chinese Valentine's Day, the magpie went bald, because the cowherd and the cow's hoof trampled on the bridge. It is also said that it will rain on the seventh day of July. Even if the weather is fine, it will rain occasionally in Mao Mao, which is the tears shed by the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Minnan people say that it is "seven mothers crying."

Philosophical stories of folk proverbs in southern Fujian

As a living fossil of China's mother tongue in ancient Central Plains, Minnan dialect has been proved by many senior linguists. Its vivid vocabulary contains rich philosophical thoughts, so its wide spread in this area is even more surprising. Now, I will talk in detail about some Minnan folk proverbs collected on weekdays, and I believe everyone will like them after listening to them. First of all, we're going to talk about a proverb, which is called "Bad horses have feet to kick". This proverb comes from an ancient war. It is said that after a war, when the Zhangzhou government was cleaning up the battlefield, it pulled a batch of injured war horses to the market outside the south gate for auction. Many people see that the price of the injured horse is very low, so they buy it, kill it and eat horse meat.

One day, a suburban farmer went to the market to sell vegetables. He heard that the injured horse was cheap, so he bought one to take home. As it was already dark when he got home, he tied the horse in the pigsty and prepared to kill it early tomorrow morning.

In the middle of the night, a thief went to the village to steal. He heard a big pig howling in the farmer's pigsty. When he came near, he saw that it was a big fat pig. He happily pried open the door of the pigsty. When he first entered the pigsty, he touched the injured horse's tail. This horse is most afraid of being pulled by its tail. As soon as he felt that his tail was caught, he quickly kicked and hit the thief in the lower body. The thief barked in pain. When the farmer's family heard this, they immediately rushed to the pigsty. When the thief saw someone coming, he begged: Let me go, I will never steal again! "

The next day, the story spread, and everyone in the village said, "Don't look at this bad horse." The farmer didn't want to kill the horse and fed it carefully. As a result, the injured horse became a strong horse.

This story shows that everyone's ability is big or small, so as long as he has a little advantage, don't underestimate or underestimate him.

This is a folk proverb, a bad horse has a step to kick. Next, I want to share with you another Minnan proverb, which is called "build a chicken without hatching" or "gamble on a chicken without hatching". Listeners and friends, "You can't build a chicken if you build it" means that it is impossible to build a hen and force it to hatch when it is not squatting in the nest, just like the meaning of "tying the couple" and "drinking water according to the cow's head" in Mandarin. It warns people that everything must respect objective laws and cannot be forced.

Listener friends, it is the instinct of hens to crouch in their nests and hatch eggs. After laying a nest of eggs, the hen began to hatch. At this time, even if there are no eggs in the nest, it will squat in the nest. This is the "squatting nest", and some of them are also called "Lever". The hen in the nest woke up and was confused. It is said that it is awake, because it feels that there are its children in the nest and can't leave the nest, otherwise it will die. In the meantime, it eats and drinks little, but it doesn't forget to excrete feces outside the nest. It will also turn over its nest from time to time and cover all the eggs with its body to the maximum extent. It is confused because it doesn't care if there are eggs in the nest. Even if there are duck eggs, goose eggs or other bird eggs or even stones in the nest, it still hatches carefully. In this case, some farmers often use all kinds of cruel means to torture the hen sitting in the nest in order to get up early to lay eggs, or soak it in water, or tie its wings or feet. , but to no avail, finally still can't make it back to normal.

The original intention of "building a chicken before it is hatched" is not to do things that violate the laws of nature, but now it is extended by people to put two completely different people or things together, and as a result, they can't live in harmony, and even often make things messy. For example, because of different personalities or conflicts of interest, brothers and sisters proposed to separate their families, but their parents refused to do so in order to maintain the "unity" of the family. As a result, it backfired and disputes continued, causing serious consequences.

Well, after the Minnan proverb "You can't hatch a chicken", let's continue to talk about a proverb in Quanzhou called "a bookcase, a bucket".

Listeners and friends, "A bookcase, a bucket" is a special Quanzhou proverb. The book cage is a bamboo cage for holding books; The head bucket is used to hold the head. This proverb comes from the story of a scholar in ancient Jinjiang.

According to legend, in the 18th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1385), a boy named Wu Fu was born in a farmhouse in Cizao Village. Father Wu was gifted and lively since childhood. He was able to recite the Three Character Classics at the age of six, and learned the Analects of Confucius at the age of seven, so he was called a "little prodigy". At the age of eighteen, he became a quota student in the county school and enjoyed free treatment.

Xuanzong Xuande Five Shen Nian (1428), Quanzhou magistrate found that some students surnamed Lin were admitted under false names in official schools, so he indiscriminately announced that all students surnamed Lin would be removed from the imperial examination. Most of the students who were expelled at that time felt wronged, but they were very angry and didn't dare to say anything, so they sulked at home. Only Wu Fu said without fear of death: "Now, I have been greatly wronged. Although it is difficult for people to sue officials, no one has died in an unnatural way since ancient times. How can I live in a world humiliated by power? I want to appeal and avenge my shame. " In this way, Wu Fu wrote a well-founded complaint and immediately appealed to the Quanzhou magistrate, but he was rejected. He went to Fuzhou, the provincial capital, to appeal, but it was still useless. After Wu Fu returned to China, he decided to overcome all difficulties and sued the Beijing court until his grievances were cleared.

When Wu Fubai's parents went to Beijing on foot, they walked from village to village with bookcases and buckets on their shoulders. After going through one county after another, they finally arrived in Beijing smoothly and found a small inn to stay and prepare to sue the court.

Emperor Xuandi of Jin Dynasty was a wise monarch. He had received and accepted the victims who went to Beijing to complain many times. Father Wu finally found the opportunity to personally appeal to the emperor and begged him to let the delisted people take the screening test again. He also said: "If Wang fails in the exam, he would rather die, be beheaded and put it in the head bucket brought from home without regret." The emperor was deeply sympathetic and moved after hearing this, so he immediately wrote a letter, ordered imperial academy to write a question, and immediately informed all the dismissed Yu in Quanzhou to come to Kyoto to take the screening test under Tianmen.

The news spread, and all the students who were transferred from Quanzhou were very surprised and happy, and actively prepared for the exam. After several screening tests, Wu Fu ranked first in the public list, and other people with real talents and practical knowledge were also on the list. Those impostors who spent a lot of money to take the exam, one by one, fell off their horses and were ugly. Afterwards, whenever people talk about it, they admire Wu Fu's talent and courage.

Soon, Wu Fu was selected by the imperial court to serve as the county academic supervisor in Lishui County, Yingtianfu, Jiangsu Province. Later, due to his outstanding achievements, he was promoted to Lishui County. When Wu Fu recalled the past, he said with deep feelings, "If I hadn't risked my life to fight, how could I be today?" Since then, the saying "a bookcase, a head fight", together with this true story, has spread among Quanzhou people.

The Story of Broken Pot —— Minnan Story

In a certain year of the Republic of China, just after the wheat harvest, there was a Zuo Tian brother named Shi in Longhu, Jinjiang. When he heard that there were eleven buckets of water tanks coming from the ship dock in Jiapai Village, Haikou, there just wasn't enough food in them, he hurried to buy them.

Speaking of this brother Zuo Tian named Shi, everyone knows that he is gentle, has nothing to do and always has a smile on his face. On this day, he bought two large water tanks, carried them with a pole, waved them and went home. When I came to the field path, I saw a path trodden by passers-by, which could save a long way through a clearing. He thought the road was built by people, and even if others passed by, I would take a shortcut and carry the water tank across the field. I didn't expect a person to hide here at this time. This is a brother of Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong. His temperament is explosive, everyone is afraid of him, let him. On this day, he has been waiting in the field for a long time. When he saw Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Shi, walking towards the middle of the field with a big water tank, he ran to catch up with him. Having nothing to say, he raised his hoe and smashed a big water tank named Shi to pieces with a bang.

Why did Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, break the big water tank? It turned out that Akita was cultivated by him. On this day, he came to the field with a plow and a rake and saw Tanaka being trampled off the road. He's already furious. He didn't expect to plow twice, but the field was trampled down and the new plow was broken. Can't stand anger, he will break the big water tank in the field with a hoe.

In addition, Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Shi, heard a bang and the vat in front of him fell to the ground. He was shocked and turned his head quickly. When he saw Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Hong, staring at him with a hoe, he knew why. So he smiled and asked, "Dude, how can you break my vat without saying a word?" Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, snorted and shouted gruffly, "I ask you, is this a field or a road?" Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, said with a smile, "I stepped on the wrong field. Brother, please lend me your hoe. " Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, thought in the fire and asked you to hit him with a hoe. I'm not afraid of you, so he threw the hoe over and said, "lend it to me and see what you dare to do to me." Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, picked up the hoe, not to flood, but to smash another jar with a bang. Brother Zuo Tian's surname is Hong. He was surprised and said, "What are you doing?" Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, turned around and smiled and said, "Dude, it's my fault that you are in such a hurry, but I didn't step on the road alone in Tanaka." Now you broke my jar without saying anything. How can I take it home with one left? " It's best to break them together, and please pick out those broken cylinders. "Yes, I gave my hoe to Tian Ge, surnamed Hong, picked up the pole rope and went home.

Although this incident made Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Hong, laugh for a while later, as time went on, he gradually forgot about it.

Coincidentally, one day, it was long hu cun's annual "Buddha's Birthday". Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, was also invited to drink by his friends. It's really "a long way to go". He just stepped into the village head and met Zuo Tian across the street. His surname is Shi, and he also went to the village head to meet people. It turns out that this is the hometown of stone. When brother Zuotian, surnamed Shi, saw brother Zuotian, surnamed Hong, he smiled and ran to hug him and shouted, "Oh, brother, I didn't expect you to come. It is a coincidence that I met you. Anyway, I want to come to my house for a drink today. " "As the saying goes, a strong dragon will not crush a local strongman. At this time, Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Hong, had to follow. As soon as he entered the house, brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, shouted to his relatives and friends in the hall, "My good friend is here." On the one hand, he invited Mr. Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, to enter the room directly, asked his family to provide cigarettes, tea and wine, and set a table full. Then he smiled and said, "Dude, suit yourself. You can use it yourself. I have something to do quickly, so I have to stay." "After that, he walked out of the door, locked the door and locked it with a click.

Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong here, heard the pounding of hooves outside and secretly complained, but he was straightforward. He thought that the last time he went out, he was caught in a trap today. Whether he is dead or alive, eat first, and then drink alone in the room. Near noon, Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, came in from the outside and said with a smile, Brother, I'm sorry to lock you in the room. Tian Xiong, surnamed Hong, didn't laugh or cry at this time, so he had to say nothing. Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, added, "Dude, I really want to invite you, so I locked you in my room for fear that you might run away." Then he pulled Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Hong, to the wine table in the hall. When relatives and friends saw Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, pulling a guest so kindly, they all stood up to meet him. However, those relatives and friends who know that the guests are locked in the room are puzzled. Someone asked, "Who is this old friend?" Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, couldn't answer this question. Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, hurriedly said with a smile; "Let me introduce, this is a friend I met on the road. I am loyal and honest, but I lack patience ... "Then I will tell you about what happened before. Everyone who heard it laughed. However, Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Shi, did not laugh at this moment. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the truth that this brother taught me to be a man. Imagine that we are all farmers, just to get close to the road and trample on other people's fields. This is against nature, isn't it? " So, I recognize this person as a good friend! "Hearing this, everyone admired.

Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, also felt very funny at this time. After he left that day, he quickly went to Shipu the next day to buy two large water tanks, eleven barrels in total, and picked them up and gave them to his brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi. From then on, the two really became good friends.

Legend of public life in wells

The corner of Honglai Town East Street is called the Middle Earth Furnace, and there is a well called "Xie Yuan". The spring water in this well is pure and sweet. Even if it hasn't rained for a long time, it is still dripping and inexhaustible. When there was no running water in this ancient town, hundreds of people around depended on this well for water supply. Whenever people come back from work or work, especially in hot summer, they will feel extremely sweet and tired as long as they pump water from this well, whether they drink water or take a bath. This well still exists today. Although it has a long history, the water in this well is still pure and not turbid, and it is inexhaustible.

However, when it comes to the history of this well, there is such a touching story.

According to legend, during Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, there was a family named Wu in Zhongtu Furnace, and the two brothers were as close as brothers, knowing each other and cherishing each other. Big brother is honest and diligent, and gets married early. My brother Wu Hongmo is a coward. With this eldest brother in charge, my younger brother "listens to things outside the window and reads only sage books" and devotes himself to studying hard at the cold window. Everyone else ignores her, and sometimes even the eldest sister-in-law urges her to help him with some housework as much as she can, so she has been complaining for a long time. Since then, I have paid little attention to his solar eclipse. Therefore, Wu Hongmo had to live a half-starved life every day and continue to study hard.

Besides, time flies, and the sun and the moon fly. After studying hard for several years, I finally look forward to the day when the provincial capital will try. On this day, Wu Hongmo packed his bags and prepared to go to the provincial capital to take the exam the next morning. When my sister-in-law learned about her situation, in order to repay her usual complaints, she stored the food in her room that night, drained the water in the water tank, and even hid the small bucket of water.

The next day, Wu Hongmo got up and was preparing to cook some porridge for breakfast, but he couldn't find any food. In desperation, he just wanted to burn some boiling water to satisfy his hunger, but he saw that there was no drop of water in the water tank. He wanted to fetch water outside the house, and he didn't see the bucket used to fetch water on weekdays. He knew it was his sister-in-law's bitter revenge. In desperation, he walked out of the house with a sigh, only to see water everywhere, except that it rained heavily last night. I thought that since it rained heavily, the well water would definitely rise, so I went home and got a ladle to scoop water into the well. When he stood by the well, he looked at the well and found that the water depth was the same. At this time, the heartbroken Wu Hongmo suddenly fell to his knees and prayed to the well: "Jinggong, Jinggong! If you pity me, a helpless poor scholar, you will raise the well water so that I can drink some well water to satisfy my hunger. After that, if you can be the first, I will definitely thank you for your kindness when I return to my hometown! Strange to say, just after Wu Hongmo finished praying, he saw the well water slowly rising until it was flat. Wu Hongmo was very happy. Hurriedly hit a spoonful of cold water with a water ladle and drank it, then packed up and hurried on the road.

As the saying goes, hard work will pay off. On this day, the meteor trotted to the red, and Wu Hongmo won the first place in the provincial examination and won the championship in high school. I will go home to visit my relatives in a few days. When all the people and neighbors heard the news, they were very happy and looked forward to his return day and night. Until the day I went home, I saw Wu Hongmo sitting in a big sedan chair, singing gongs to clear the way, and the scenery returned to his hometown infinitely. When my sister-in-law heard about it, she felt guilty and ashamed, so she had to hide in her parents' house. However, at this time, the Wu clan had already gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall to wait. When they saw Wu Hongmo step down from the official sedan chair, his honest eldest brother led the clan to meet them. At this moment, I suddenly heard a clansman suggest that Wu Hongmo's high school is the spirit of his ancestors in heaven, so he should worship his ancestors first and thank them for their kindness. Wu Hongmo stopped immediately after hearing it. Xie said: "I think we should first thank you for your kindness in raising water that day, and then worship our ancestors." As he spoke, he told all his relatives about the morning when he took the exam. Everyone was surprised after listening to it! He listened to Wu Jieyuan's suggestion and designated the third day of the tenth lunar month (that is, the day when the water rises) as Gong's birthday. On this day, Wumen will hold a grand banquet and play a rewarding role, which is very lively. To commemorate this meaningful legend, this well is called "Xieyuan Well".

Later, after consulting the folk history of China, people found that this is the only person in the world who can give birth to Gong Qingsheng!
