May all lovers in the world, all become lovers; Fate is destined for things, do not miss a good marriage." This sentence reveals people's good wishes for marriage. The moon old man, also known as the old man under the moon, is the god of marriage who is in charge of the marriage on earth. It is said that there is a red thread in the hands of the Moon Elder that ties the ankles of a man and a woman together. Therefore, two people can come together even if they are in the south and north of the sky.
Duling in the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Wei Ku, an orphan since childhood, who wanted to marry and have a child earlier, but he always failed to propose marriage, and once he went out to study and stayed in an inn in Songcheng. In Songcheng, Wei Gu met one of his fellow villagers. The two of them found a place to talk.
When he realized that Wei Gu had not yet married, he said he could help him introduce a woman from his family. Wei Ku was very happy and agreed to meet here in the morning. At night, Wei Ku lay in bed, unable to sleep, and waited for the dawn. Finally, Wei Ku couldn't wait any longer, got dressed and decided to go ahead and wait at the agreed place.
He walked through the streets in the dead of night, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and felt a lot of emotions. He had been alone since childhood, and it was not easy for him to grow up and have some achievements. But he just couldn't find a favorable daughter-in-law. I don't know if I can succeed this time. He was just thinking wildly when he suddenly saw a man in front of him who seemed to be reading a book under the moon.
He walked two steps closer to the door of a temple and saw an old man carrying a cloth bag and sitting on the steps, flipping through a book.
Weigu thought to himself, "What a strange old man, reading a book in such a place. Weigu couldn't help but probe to see what kind of book this old man was reading.
Weigu came forward and saw that it was a book without words. Wei Gu thought to himself, "How come there are no words in the book that this old man is reading? He arched his hand to the old man and asked, "Old man, what book are you reading?" The old man smiled and replied, "This is the marriage book of the world." Wei Ku felt strange and thought to himself, "How come I have never heard of such a book in the world? He asked again, "Old man, what is in your bag?" The old man said, "It contains red thread, which is used to tie the feet of husband and wife. Two people if my red thread tied, even if the hatred is as deep as the sea, even if the rich and poor, even if they are separated by the ends of the earth, will be together, want to escape can not escape. Even if two people love each other again, my red thread is not tied, two people can not come together. This is called a thousand miles of marriage."
Weigu was curious when he heard the old man's words and inquired about his own marriage, "Old man, then who is my wife?" The Moon Elder flipped down the book and said with a smile, "Your wife is just three years old now, and is the daughter of the blind old woman who sells vegetables at the north end of the store." When Weigu heard this, he thought to himself, thinking about his full ambition, how could he marry the daughter of a vegetable seller. So this one is some moon old man's story,
