Folktales and Legends (1)

According to legend, the rooster has the blood of the phoenix. He has always been in heaven as a fairy chicken, responsible for announcing the dawn. One night, Taishang Laojun made an elixir and asked it to go to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to get water, and told it: "Go back quickly, don't be greedy for the scenery in the world, and don't eat the unlucky things in the world."

Roosters are usually very playful and lively. After listening to Taishang Laojun's instructions, it took a bottle of water, held a bright torch, and drove the auspicious clouds to the human world. Animals were frightened by it and jumped out, hiding and escaping. escape.

Seeing this, the big rooster was extremely happy. With its proud head straight, it wandered around the world freely and as it pleased, and no one could do anything to it. Where did it think about fetching water? It came to the edge of the Dragon Pond, stretched its neck and looked into the green, crystal clear water. The magnificent Dragon Palace at the bottom of the pond caught its eyes. It immediately became interested and jumped He plunged into the water and swam to the Dragon Palace like a fish.

The Dragon Palace has gold tiles, silver columns, cornices, carved beams and painted buildings. It is extremely beautiful. This is a great place. I want to have enough fun inside and out first. The rooster muttered to himself. Suddenly he flew to the beam, and suddenly he landed in the hall. He had fun, jumped around at will, and even pooped chicken manure all over the floor. The quiet Dragon Palace was turned upside down. When the Dragon King learned of the situation, he was furious and ordered his soldiers to drive the rooster out of the Dragon Palace.

The rooster fled back to the shore in embarrassment. Feeling weak all over and his stomach growled, he went to look for something to eat. At this time, he had forgotten what he came for, and the instructions of the Supreme Lord had been thrown away by him. To the back of the head. It just wants to eat, no matter whether it is clean or not, as long as it can fill its stomach, it will peck it into its mouth and swallow it. Besides, Taishang Laojun was waiting for water in the sky, but when he waited, he didn’t see the rooster coming back. It's almost dawn. If I don't call the rooster back, I will never return to the sky. So, he shouted to the earth about the rooster.

When the rooster heard his master calling, he thought of what he was told to do, so he hurried to Longtan to get water, but found that the water bottle was missing. What should we do? It wanted to go back empty-handed, but it was afraid of being scolded by its owner, so it was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Looking at the sky, the master's shouts came one after another. It understood that if it didn't go back, it would never be able to return to the sky. It had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back first, so it flapped its wings and said to the sky: "Oh! Here we come!"

At this time, something strange happened. No matter how hard the fairy chicken spread its wings, it could not fly. Only then did it remember what Taishang Laojun told it when it arrived, and the delicacies had become vulgarized. If it eats it, it will definitely not be able to come back to heaven.

The rooster regretted it too much, but it was unwilling to give in, so every day at dawn (that is, the time when Taishang Laojun calls it) it crows "Oooh" in the sky... ....

The rooster cannot return to heaven, so he has to live in the mortal world. It first went to the mountain forest, where it was often attacked by wild cats and foxes; it then moved to a pond, where it was chased by eagles many times and almost lost its life. It was lonely, living in fear, and had suffered enough! Later, someone saw how pitiful it was and adopted it. From then on, chickens lived with people.

Soon, the Jade Emperor granted age to the animals in the world, giving chickens a hundred years of life and people only three years. Both chickens and people were dissatisfied. The rooster said: "Give me so many years, my beak has been pecked to pieces, and my claws have been broken, and it will be difficult to endure." The man said: "There are so many things waiting for us to do in the world. What can we do if we only give people three years old?" Something!"

So, the Jade Emperor exchanged the lifespans of humans and chickens, giving humans a hundred years and giving chickens three years. In this way, people can live to be a hundred years old, while most chickens only live for three years.

History and Allusions of Stone Incense Burners

One year, Lu Ban, a craftsman from Shandong, came to Hangzhou with his little sister.

They rented two shops near Qiantang Gate and put up a sign saying "Shandong Lu Family, Made by Ironwood and Stone". As soon as the signboard was put up, the door was crossed by those who came to pay homage to the master. Lu Ban was very selective and took in one hundred and eighty young and clever young people to be his apprentices. The Luban brothers and sisters are extremely skillful in their craftsmanship. They are truly miraculous: the chiselled stone dog can guard the door, and the carved wooden cat can catch mice. One hundred and eighty apprentices all became masters under their guidance.

One day, Luban and his sister were teaching life lessons to their apprentices carefully. Suddenly a gust of black wind blew by, and suddenly dark clouds rolled in the sky. It turned out that a black fish spirit came to the world to cause trouble. The black fish spirit dived into the West Lake. In the center, there is a deep pool of 360 feet in Hangzhou. It blows air in the deep pools, causing the whole city of Hangzhou to smell fishy; it sprays water in the deep pools, and it rains heavily in the north and south mountains. On this day, the willows by the lake broke, the flowers withered, and the water continued to rise.

Brother and sister Lu Ban took one hundred and eighty apprentices and climbed up the Gemstone Mountain together. They looked down the mountain and saw a vast expanse of ocean in front of them. All the houses in the city were soaked in the smelly water, and men, women, old and young all fled to the hills around the West Lake. In the middle of the lake, a huge whirlpool was spinning. A very wide fish mouth was tilted up in the whirlpool. The fish mouth was tilted higher and higher, slowly revealing the entire big fish head. The fish head shot up and suddenly flew away. A dark cloud rose into the sky. The dark clouds floated and floated to the top of the gem, then slowly fell down, and a dark and ugly young man emerged from it.

Hei Housheng rolled his bulging cross-cock eyes and glanced at Lu Mei: "Ha! Beautiful girl, what kind of business do you do?"

Lu Mei said: "You ask What kind of job does a girl have? She is a skilled craftsman."

Hei Housheng looked at Lu Mei from head to toe and said, "That's right, that's right! I see your bright eyes and curved eyebrows, I think you can be pretty. The silk is cleverly cut. Come and make new clothes with me." Lu Mei shook her head. The black girl, Lu Mei, looked from her feet to her head: "Yes, that's right! I see that your slender and delicate hands must be good at embroidering dragons and phoenixes. Come on, follow me to embroider brocade quilts." Lu Mei shook her head. Hei Housheng kept guessing and couldn't figure it out. After thinking about it, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Beautiful girl, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to tailor or embroider. If you marry into my family, you won't be able to eat all the delicacies from the mountains and seas. You will be happy and happy." ." He said, reaching out to pull Lu Mei. Lu Ban separated his hand with a hammer and shouted: "Get away!" Hei Housheng still grinned widely and said with a playful smile: "My skin is three feet thick, I am not afraid of your hammer! If the eldest girl marries me, everything will be fine. "If the eldest girl doesn't marry me, the mountains will be flooded if the water rises again!" Lu Mei thought to herself: If the water rises again, the lives of all the people in the city will not be saved. She rolled her eyes twice, and then she had a solution, and said to Hei Housheng: "I'm not in a hurry to marry you, let my brother arrange a dowry for me."

Hei Housheng was happy when he heard this: "Okay. Girl, I promise, what do you plan to do as a dowry?"

Lu Mei said: "There is a high rock on the mountain, I want my brother to chisel it into a big incense burner."

Hei Housheng was so happy that he clapped his thighs: "Okay, okay! The King of Black Fish in the sky has set up a temple in the world. There is a stone incense burner that you were given as a dowry. It is just the right time to use it as an offering!"

Lu Mei pulled over. Brother discussed for a while. Lu Ban said to Hei Housheng: "The east is water, and the west is water. What should we do? You drop the water first, and then I can take action."

Hei Housheng opened his mouth and took a breath, and the whole city was filled with people. The water flew up and poured into his belly. Lu Ban pointed to a cliff on the mountain and asked Hei Housheng: "Look, look, how about cutting down this mountain and chiseling out an incense burner?" Hei Housheng said: "Okay, okay. Brother-in-law, you can chisel quickly. You can chisel it." The bigger the scene, the more beautiful it is!"

Lu Ban said: "The incense burner is high, the incense burner is big, how can you move a heavy stone incense burner?" Hei Housheng said: "Hehehehehe, as long as I lift my feet, there will be something behind me. A dark wind was blowing; a small stone incense burner is nothing, I can inhale even a mountain!" The people who fled on the surrounding mountains all went home, and Lu Ban and the others climbed up the upside-down cliff. Lu Ban swung his big hammer and struck the first blow on the cliff. His one hundred and eighty disciples then followed up with another one hundred and eighty blows. With a "boom", the cliff fell down. --Since then, a cliff has been left on Baoshi Mountain by the West Lake.

The cliff is so big. You can see the white ocean here and the ocean there. How can you carve it into a round stone incense burner? Lu Ban took a look at the deep pool in the center of the lake, estimated the size, and pinched a long root. Standing in the middle of the cliff, she asked her sister to tighten the other end of the rope and ran around her with a "pat-tat-tat-tat" sound. Lu Mei's footprints drew a circle on the cliff. Lu Ban first chiseled a large pattern, and one hundred and eighty apprentices chiseled according to the pattern. After digging for one day, another day, and seven or forty-nine days, the cliff disappeared and turned into a big stone incense burner. Under the round incense burner, there are three inverted gourd-shaped pointed feet; on the pointed feet, there are round holes with light on three sides. The big stone incense burner was chiseled, and Lu Ban said to Hei Housheng:

"Look, look, my sister's dowry has been arranged. Now I ask you to move down to the lake!"

The black man wants a bride. Lu Ban said: "Don't be busy, don't be busy. You first move the dowry and set it up, and then send the sedan chair to carry it." Hei Housheng was so happy that he turned around and ran down the mountain. The whirlwind he whipped up actually blew such a big A stone incense burner rolls behind. The black offspring ran and ran to the middle of the lake, turned into black fish, and got into the deep pool; the stone incense burner rolled and rolled to the middle of the lake, and when it slipped on the slope next to the deep pool, it fell over suddenly. Turn it over and cover the deep pool tightly, leaving no gaps. The black fish spirit was covered under the stone incense burner and was so stuffy that it couldn't breathe. When he tried to push it up, the stone incense burner wouldn't budge. He tried to blow a gust of wind, but couldn't turn around, so he had no choice but to crawl down. The deeper it drilled, the deeper the stone incense burner sank. The black fish spirit finally suffocated to death at the bottom of the lake, and the stone incense burner also sank in the mud at the bottom of the lake. Only three gourd-shaped legs were exposed on the surface of the lake.

Since then, the West Lake has left a wonderful scene: every Mid-Autumn Festival night, people row boats to the center of the lake and light candles in the round holes on the stove feet that are transparent on three sides; the candlelight is reflected in the lake. Here, shadows appeared for several months. Later, this place was called "Three Pools Reflecting the Moon".

Qiaomei embroiders dragons

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Qiaomei on a fishing island in the East China Sea. She has loved embroidery since she was a child. She embroiders every day and every year. The more she embroiders, the more she loves to embroider. She embroiders whatever she sees. The red shrimps jumped, the blue crabs crawled sideways, and the fish waggled their tails. It was such a wonderful embroidery job!

One year, there was a severe drought on the island. It didn’t rain in May and there was no wind in June. , there is not a cloud in July. The scorching sun made the soil crack, the stones smoked, the wells dried up, the seedlings withered, and the peonies embroidered by Qiaomei also withered.

Qiaomei is very worried about loyalty. Her food is not good, her sleep is restless, and she has lost weight. The mother asked her distressedly:

"Daughter! If you have anything on your mind, tell me quickly!"

Qiaomei wiped away her tears and said:

"Look, the river has dried up and the crops have withered; the adults lamented their suffering and the children cried and thirsted. Who wouldn't be sad!"

The mother sighed and said:

"God has sent me down. Drought has punished everyone. This month, everyone went to Bailong River to pray for rain, but the more they prayed, the worse the drought became. What can be done?"

Qiao Mei said:

"I want to embroider a dragon. If the embroidery works well, how wonderful it would be if the embroidered dragon sprays water and turns into rain!"

In order to comfort Qiao Mei, the mother chimed in and said:

"Qiaomei! Just embroider!"

Qiaomei said in embarrassment:

"Oh! It's a pity that I have never seen a dragon. How can I embroider?"

p>

Yes! What does this dragon look like? Qiao Mei thought and thought, but she just couldn’t imagine it. Suddenly I thought of Bailong River. Since everyone went there to pray for rain, maybe there really was a dragon there!

The next day, Qiao Mei said goodbye to her parents, picked up dry food, and went to Bailong River to search for rain. The dragon is gone. After climbing over a ridge and turning three bends, we saw a deep and long mountain stream pit. What a pity! The water in Bailong River has dried up, and the grass beside the stream has withered. Qiaomei climbed to the top of the mountain along Bailong River, sat on a rock, and stared at the bottom of the stream in a daze.

"Qiaomei! What are you doing in the mountains on a hot day?"

Qiaomei looked up and saw an old man standing in front of her with a mysterious smile.

Qiaomei stood up and replied respectfully: "I'm here to see Bai Laolong!"

The old man shook his head and said:

"The water in the mountain stream has dried up long ago. Where can there be Bai Laolong? Go back!"

Qiaomei looked at the old man and said:

"No! I won't go back, I want to find Bai Laolong. Bai Laolong will have water."

The old man sighed and left quietly. One day, two days, three days, Qiaomei still couldn't find Bai Laolong. Qiaomei was tired of searching, so she went back to the rock and sat down, staring at Bailong River in a daze.

The old man came again. Seeing Qiaomei’s chapped lips and mental fatigue, he kindly advised:

“Qiaomei! Bai Laolong comes and goes without a trace. If you can't find him, you'd better go home!"

Qiaomei wiped her sweat and said:

"If you can't find him today, look for him tomorrow; if you can't find him tomorrow, look for him the day after tomorrow. One day we will find Bai Laolong!"

The old man sighed and walked away quietly.

One day, two days, three days, Qiaomei searched all over the mountains and corners, but there was still no sign of Bai Laolong. She was sweating and panting, unable to walk any longer, and finally passed out next to the rock.

The old man came quietly again. He lovingly massaged Qiaomei’s eyebrows with his fingers. Qiaomei woke up. When she saw the old man sitting next to her again, she burst into tears. . The old man comforted Qiao Mei sadly:

"Don't cry, don't cry! It's not that Bai Laolong doesn't want to see you, it's really the Jade Emperor's decree and the Dragon King's law that strictly control it! Come, I'll take you down the mountain. Let's do it!"

Qiaomei said: "No! No! If I can't find Bai Laolong, I won't go home even if I die!"

After hearing this, the old man felt sad and moved. Two tears fell. A drop of tears and a burst of rain. Tears and rain? In the mouth of Qiaomei, Naimei is no longer thirsty; tears and rain? in the mountains and deserts, the seedlings turn green; tears and rain? in the dry well, there is water in the well.

When the old man saw it, he said to Qiaomei in a panic: "It's time for me to leave. You should go home quickly!" After that, he disappeared. Tears turned into rain. Although the drought damage was not relieved, people were grateful. However, the Dragon King of the East China Sea knew about it and was so angry that the dragon's eyes protruded and the dragon's whiskers straightened up. He cursed Bai Laolong for secretly shedding tears and violating the laws of heaven.

/p>

The Dragon King hurriedly said: "No! You go and call Old Bai Long to the Dragon Palace, I have my own reasons!"

The Dragon Prince left the Dragon Palace, rolled over, and rushed out of the sea. Fly straight towards Bailong River. Bai Laolong heard the roar of the wind, opened his eyes and saw a dark cloud floating from the sea. Knowing that the person who came was not good, he raised his head, shook his tail, and suddenly flew up with a roar.

Prince Long shouted: "Bai Laolong! You are so courageous! You dare to shed tears privately, do you know your sin?"

Bai Laolong saluted and said: "Prince Calm down, the old dragon did not rain, he only shed two tears!"

Prince Long said angrily: "Huh! Shedding two tears is also against the rules of heaven!"

Bai Laolong He said: "Prince! How can the people live without water? Don't you have any compassion?"

After hearing this, Prince Long became furious: "Nonsense! How dare you violate the laws of heaven? Argue, come with me to see the Dragon King!"

Bai Laolong knew that it would be useless to talk anymore, so he begged: "Prince, please go back first, I will be there soon."

"Forgive you. There's nowhere to escape!" Prince Long sneered and returned to the Dragon Palace.

As for Qiaomei, when she saw it started to rain, she felt happy and stopped looking for Bai Laolong, so she ran home happily. Who would have thought that as soon as we arrived at the door of our house, the rain stopped and the sky was clear, and the scorching sun made us sweat. Qiaomei was about to turn around and look for Bai Laolong again, but she saw the old man walking towards her in a hurry. Qiaomei hurriedly let her into the room and brought a chair for the old man to sit on.

The old man said: "Qiao Mei! I have something urgent!"

The old man said: "Grandpa, if you want my help with anything, just tell me!"

p>

"What a wonderful girl! I am Bai Laolong from Bailong River. Just because I shed two tears that day and it rained a while, I violated the laws of heaven.

The Dragon King wants to punish me. Miles!"

"Ah!"

"Don't panic, don't panic, there is a way."

"What can I do?"

"Don't you want to embroider a dragon? Go ahead! Embroider a white dragon, exactly like me. If the Dragon King comes to capture me, just release the embroidered dragon and I will be saved!"

Qiaomei After hearing this, he said with surprise and joy: "Grandpa Bai Long, I will definitely embroider the dragon statue!"

The old man nodded slightly, rolled gently, and appeared in the shape of a dragon. In an instant, the whole room was filled with silver. , shining brightly.

Qiaomei looked carefully, remembered it firmly, shook her exquisite horns, touched the white jade scales, read it over and over again from beginning to end, and said happily: "Grandpa Bai Laolong, I have remembered it all. "

Bai Laolong said with satisfaction: "Qiao sister! Hurry up and embroider! Come to me when you're done!"

After that, he put away the dragon shape and hurried away. .

Qiao Mei found a piece of blue silk, arranged a few strands of silk thread, and sat alone in the room. Without raising her head, her hands kept moving, and the needle and thread followed the needle, and she began to embroider quickly. Embroider, embroider, embroider quickly. One day and one night, I embroidered a dragon head: white jade beard, crystal eyes, exquisite horns, how majestic!

The mother said: "Daughter! The dragon head is embroidered. Let's take a rest and start embroidering again after dinner. ?"

Qiao Mei said: "No, embroider quickly, and then eat after embroidering!" Embroider, embroider, embroider quickly. It took two days and two nights to embroider the dragon body: the silver scales are shining, how beautiful it is!

The mother said: "Daughter! The dragon body is embroidered. Take a rest and sleep before embroidering again." Let’s do it!”

Qiaomei said: “No! I’ll fall asleep as soon as I fall asleep. Go to bed after finishing the embroidery!”

Embroider, embroider, embroider quickly. It took three days and three nights to embroider four dragon claws: the front paws are stretched out, and the back paws are squatting, so majestic!

Qiaomei’s eyes were red, Qiaomei’s fingers were blistered with blood, and Bai Lao The dragon is also embroidered. You see, the clouds are flying in the mist, raising their heads and swaying their tails, really looking like they are going to make clouds and rain!

Early on the fourth day, Qiaomei happily went to find Bai Laolong. However, after searching all over Bailong River, there was still no sign of Bai Laolong. Qiaomei panicked and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain and shouted loudly:

"Grandpa Bai Laolong, Grandpa Bai Laolong!"

However, even though her throat was hoarse from shouting, she still couldn't hear Bai Laolong. echo. Qiaomei was anxious and took out the embroidered dragon and asked with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa Bai Laolong! Can you see Qiaomei looking for you? Can you hear Qiaomei calling you? Why don't you come out? Where are you?"

Qiao Mei, Qiao Mei, you are late! It turns out that late last night, the Dragon King took Bai Lao Long to the Lingxiao Palace and accused him of breaking the laws of heaven by secretly shedding tears. The Jade Emperor indiscriminately Bai Laolong decided to behead him. At this moment, Bai Laolong was tied up outside the two-day door and was about to be executed! Qiao Mei was looking for him! He saw it! Qiao Mei called him and he heard it. But, my dear! Bai Laolong can never come to see you again!

Suddenly, there was a loud rumble, and Bai Laolong's head fell into Bailong River, and the dragon's blood poured down. , just right on the embroidered dragon held by Qiaomei. The embroidered dragon suddenly shook, and it came alive! Suddenly it flew into the air, circled left and right over Qiaomei's head, and finally fell into the Bailong River. Suddenly, the clear spring of Bailong River gushed out and the stream gurgled. Since then, Bailong River has never dried up, and the island is no longer afraid of drought.
