Hu Ping

Di Qing is a small town in Shehong County, Sichuan Province, located on the left bank of Fujiang River with beautiful scenery. This town is not big, but it is famous. It was recorded in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, with a history of 1500 years. In recent years, CCTV's "Home Far Away", "30 degrees North Latitude" and "Geographical China" have all come to this town to shoot programs and broadcast them. Recently, the pioneers of the column group "China on the Tip of the Tongue" came to Di Qing again, and will start with "Qi and Qi".

Di Qing is famous for its profound filial piety culture, from which came the legend of Di Qing kitchen knife and iron fire dragon, which has been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.

The fifth year of Tang Gaozong's death-that is, the year when Mulian saved her mother and returned to her grandson, and the mother and son were sealed-was December 20th of the lunar calendar. Seeing that New Year's Eve was approaching, the Jade Emperor took stock of the major events he had done in that year, and felt that Mu Lian had saved his mother and rehabilitated her, which was particularly unforgettable. He thought: If everyone carries forward the spirit of filial piety and saving the mother, and everyone is filial and harmonious, the world will be peaceful. But how to realize this wish? The jade emperor couldn't calm down for a long time and was lost in thought.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve arrived, and the fireworks and firecrackers of the human New Year disturbed the Jade Emperor in the sky from time to time, but he also clearly saw that not all families were happy for the New Year, so-called several families were happy and several were sad! At this time, the jade emperor had an idea: the next day, he held a "Zhuge Liang" meeting to listen to the opinions of the king and the gods and fully discuss how to carry forward the spirit of filial piety and build a harmonious and prosperous society for all families. The next day, at the meeting on the first day of the first month of the first month, the governors of all parties saw the festive atmosphere of the human New Year, and they had long wanted to stay in the empty celestial fairy room. They proposed to hold a successful celebration for Mulian during the festival. So the Jade Emperor made a decision: On the fifteenth day of the first month, a celebration party was held in Mulian's hometown of Di Qing. All gods, people, ghosts and immortals in heaven, underground and the underworld must send representatives to attend, and Bodhi is responsible for the specific affairs of the meeting.

How dare you say that? Bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi, bodhi.

On the 15th day of the first month, when Yin Shi arrived, representatives of all parties gathered at the Dingding Temple in Di Qing. The queen mother sat on the rostrum, bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi. He was specially named as the official title of filial piety monk and Tibetan king. Special decree! "

Bodhi Bodhi also announced that the second decree was announced by Guanyin. Guanyin read in her low voice: "In this: Di Qing Liu Siniang is really a hero among women and a model of a harmonious family. The emperor once sentenced her to death, which was a misjudgment. Now she has been specially corrected, and she is named Mrs. Di Qing. She will always protect the safety of one party and enjoy the incense on earth. Special purpose! "

After the two jade seals were read out, everyone stood up and shouted, "The Jade Emperor is wise!" "Long live the Jade Emperor, long live, long live!"

According to the agenda, delegates donated gifts to Si Liu Niang and villagers in Di Qing. Guanyin presented a bottle of nectar, the old gentleman presented a gossip elixir, and the queen mother presented a flat peach, Bodhi Bodhi Bodhi. Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi. She first distributed the flat peaches of the Queen Mother.

So he had a plan, he was busy driving Xiangyun, and immediately descended to the vicinity of Di Qing Ferry in Fujiang, becoming a white-faced scholar in a white suit, climbing the steps from the dock and enjoying the happiness of ordinary people among the happy people.

It's almost dusk, and the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, the bodhi tree, and the four mothers smiled and replied, "Report to the bodhi old zu, he has gone to prepare gifts for everyone and will come soon." Siniang's voice was not loud, but the Queen Mother and Guanyin could hear clearly. Everyone said, "Yes, we brought so many gifts, but we didn't see the gifts prepared by our host?" Siniang bowed and said, "Don't worry, everyone, our gift will definitely satisfy you." After listening to SiNian's words, everyone's hearts were full of expectations. The Queen Mother specially said, "Is this really the case? In order to satisfy all of us here, the audience are watching! " What a clever elf the Queen Mother is. She has long felt that the jade emperor has come here.

Time is up, and four fires have risen in the four corners of the square at the same time. The little devils in hell can't hide their naked flames, so they run away one by one. On the contrary, almost all the people around them gathered in the Dingding Temple, and the red flame reflected a cheerful smile. The night is getting darker and darker, people are gathering more and more, and the flames are getting higher and higher. Only then can everyone see a big red iron pot boiling in the middle of the stove. It is the "chief blacksmith" of the kitchen knife workshop who keeps walking in the corner, directing the "boiling" of molten iron. Molten iron was originally caused by scraps from the production of kitchen knives. Finally, I saw the appearance of Mu Lian. He and the blacksmiths stood by the fire with special tools. It's time. With Aurora's eyes on the stage, he first smashed a spoonful of molten iron into the sky. After hot molten iron flies into the sky, it blooms beautiful patterns in the air, and then turns into a meteor and falls to the ground. People screamed and ran around, and soon the center of the square was empty, so the blacksmiths took turns throwing a spoonful of molten iron into the sky in every corner.

The flame alarmed the Dragon King of the East China Sea. He jumped out of the water and into the sky. He saw that "fireworks" were being set off in the direction of the eastern part of Datang Di Qing. When he got together, he was scared out in a cold sweat: the stage was full of great gods from the Heavenly Palace, and the Jade Emperor became a white-faced scholar in the crowd ... What should I do? After thinking for a while, the Dragon King immediately ordered the sons and grandsons of several dragons to dance under fireworks in Di Qing. Hot metal, dragon dancing, screaming and laughter make Di Qing a sea of joy on New Year's Eve. ...

It was late at night and the fireworks were gone, but people still didn't want to leave for a long time. Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi "Taking his word, I saw Mulian and the blacksmiths carrying several baskets of kitchen knives. Because they just bumped into molten iron and set off fireworks, they didn't have time to change clothes, but they were all naked, but the sweat was still dripping down one after another. .......................................................................................................... Siniang said, "Wait a minute, Master Guanyin!" She took out the nectar disguised as a jade bottle presented by Guanyin from her arms, took the knife in the hands of bodhi bodhi bodhi bodhi ancestor and handed it to Guanyin together with the jade bottle. Guanyin knowingly first picked up the jade bottle, dipped the jade liquid in a clean bottle stained with dust, then picked up this knife, sprinkled the jade liquid on the dust on the knife, then sprinkled the jade liquid on all the kitchen knives, and then slowly walked down the stand, handed the knife to a "representative of the masses" of a white-flour scholar in the crowd, and bowed with both hands: "Di Qing kitchen knife is a' cut'.

Since then, every year, even if the Jade Emperor can't wait, all the villagers in Di Qing will happily hold a hot metal fire dragon activity, and the Dragon King can't send his son and grandson to entertain them every year. The fire dragon will be served by local able-bodied men. In order to commemorate Si Liu Niang and Mulian forever, Dingding Temple was renamed Mulian Temple. On the 15th Lantern Festival every year, people will watch colorful metal fireworks and dragon dances performed by men wearing only a pair of "waist-tied pants", and then buy a satisfactory kitchen knife to take home, which indicates the beginning of a better life in the new year. For thousands of years, this has become a constant custom.
