Interesting legends and folktales 1
Jade Emperor Temple has a long history and many ancient trees, among which boxwood and holly are over 200 years old. The pomegranate tree in the backyard for 600 years is even more striking.
As the saying goes, pomegranate is as red as fire in summer, but this old pomegranate tree has white flowers and ginkgo. Opposite this old pomegranate tree is a robust little pomegranate tree with red flowers and red fruits and seeds. They are old and young, and become a scene in the Jade Emperor Temple, which is called "the wonders of children's old age". Every June and July, red and white pomegranate flowers are particularly enchanting and beautiful. When pomegranate fruits are covered with branches, smile at tourists and have a special view.
Speaking of this 600-year-old pomegranate tree, there is a touching story: the revolutionary elders not only care about the safety of the people of the motherland, but also care about the survival of natural vegetation. 1964, someone tried to cut down this old pomegranate tree. At this time, it happened that Vice President Dong was also in Yantai. After learning that someone was going to cut down this old tree with a long history, he said with emotion: "This old pomegranate tree that has gone through vicissitudes can't be killed. People can see how it has been passed down from generation to generation and become a witness of history." In this way, Dong listened, and the 600-year-old pomegranate tree came back to life. Presumably, trees have feelings, and the old pomegranate tree has blossomed since then in order to repay Dong for saving his life. Therefore, it is not easy for us to enjoy this "wonder of children's old age" again today.
Interesting legends and folktales II
The four most terrifying and powerful beasts in ancient China were Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu. Qinglong is the God of the East; White tiger is the god of the west; Suzaku is the god of the south; Xuanwu is the god of the north, and the tortoise and snake are one. So there are "Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Tiansiling, Tongfang and Wangzhi temples." .
The ancient ancients divided the sky into four palaces, east, west, north and south, named after Qinglong (black dragon), white tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu (a turtle-shaped god). In fact, the sky is divided into four parts, which are connected by seven main stars in each part and named after their shapes.
The horn, horn, room, heart, tail and dustpan of the East Palace are shaped like dragons, so it is called Qinglong.
The seven western stars, Kui, Lou, Stomach, Ang, Bi, Horn and Shen, are shaped like tigers, calling the West Palace the White Tiger.
The well, ghost, willow, star, Zhang, wing and net in the south are bird-shaped, called suzaku;
The northern seven-star bucket, cow, female, empty, dangerous, houses and walls are shaped like turtles and called Xuanwu.
As a result, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu have become the four gods who guard the heavenly officials, create evil and regulate Yin and Yang. Among the four gods, Qinglong and Baihu are mainly regarded as spirits to ward off evil spirits, and their images mostly appear in palaces, temples, gates or tombs and their artifacts. On the last occasion, the dragon is not helping the tomb owner ascend to heaven, but deterring evil spirits and defending the soul peace of the tomb owner.
There are dragons and white tigers in all directions, Suzaku Xuanwu is in harmony with Yin and Yang, and the four spirits, black dragon and white tiger, Suzaku Xuanwu Heaven, rarely appear in European and American fantasy, but in Chinese and Japanese myths and legends, they appear as incomparable Four Holy Beasts.
Qinglong, also known as "Black Dragon", is the God of the East in ancient mythology. Dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation. Since the Yellow Emperor entrusted it to Tianhe and weiser, it has been a symbol of the Chinese nation and even the whole of China, and its stereotype was in the Han Dynasty. Since the Great Han Dynasty, it has been identified as the symbol and representative of the emperor. In oriental legend, the dragon looks like a long snake, the head of a unicorn, the tail of a carp, a long beard, horns like deer and five claws, which is frightening. In western mythology, the dragon is more like a lizard with wings.
White tiger, the god of the west in ancient mythology. The figure is like a tiger and the white tiger is fierce, so it becomes a symbol of dignity. At the same time, the white tiger also symbolizes power and the army, so many places named after the white tiger in ancient times are related to the military, such as the white tiger flag in the ancient army and the white tiger statue on the military symbol.
Suzaku, also known as "Suzaku", looks like a phoenix, the god of the South in ancient mythology. Because it looks like a bird, it is located in the south and has the property of fire, so it often appears in the form of a phoenix in the game. But in fact, Suzaku and Phoenix are two different creatures. Phoenix is a hundred birds, but Suzaku is a spirit beast in the sky, which is rarer, nobler and more destructive than Phoenix. In Japanese comics and games, Suzaku appears as a powerful summoner or monster beast, such as the comic book A Tour of Bai Shu and the game of the same name adapted from the comic book.
Xuanwu, also called "Zhenwu", commonly known as "Zhenwu Emperor", is the god worshipped by Taoism. According to legend, the prince of Gu Jing Le Wang was born fierce and traveled in the East China Sea. When he met the immortal, he gave him a sword and went to Wudang Mountain in Hubei Province to practice. After 42 years of success, it rose during the day and became the Northern Xuanwu Army of Weizhen. But in the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Zhenwu because it was forbidden to use mysterious figures. Xuanwu is also said to be a big turtle in the North Sea. This turtle was once used as a pillar to support the whole Penglai Fairy Mountain. Because of its profound spiritual awareness, after years of hearing and seeing, it finally came to fruition. Therefore, there are many tortoise-borne tablets in the imperial mausoleum, which is the secret of Xuanwu. In addition, Xuanwu is also called Xuanming, so it is also called Beiming. Hearing this name, it is estimated that many readers will think of Bei Ming's return to the sea, and the novel "Bei Ming's Return to the Sea" written by Mr. Jin Yong.
Interesting legends and folktales 3
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, one morning, before most of the ministers arrived, Lord Qianlong asked the first ministers, Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju, "Can I have bird's nest soup and snacks at home when the two Ai Qing come so early?"
Wang Wenrui replied with trepidation: "My family has a large population and the expenses are quite large. Eating bird's nest soup and snacks is only occasional. Usually eat a bowl of jiaozi, noodles or a bowl of bean juice and a few eggs every morning. "
Seeing Wang Wenrui show his incorruptibility in front of the emperor, Liu Wenju also said that his family often only drank a bowl of bean juice and ate a few eggs for breakfast.
Gan Long listened to Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju, stared at them and said, "An egg costs twelve taels of silver. I dare not eat that much. How dare you call yourself poor after eating several meals in the morning? It seems that I should check your account. "
Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju heard Qianlong's words, and when they remembered what they had just said, their intestines were remorseful. They knew that it must be the people in the office who made false accounts and colluded with the eunuchs in the imperial palace to receive the emperor. But they dare not say, knowing that once they say it, the people in the interior office and the chef will run on them and even the emperor will spare them, because this is equivalent to telling the world that the seemingly wise Emperor Qianlong is just a fool who can be fooled by others.
Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju, of course, have to answer the words of Emperor Qianlong. Otherwise, the emperor really suspects that they are corrupt officials who take bribes.
Fortunately, Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju soon came up with a solution. They perfunctory said, buy eggs are cheap, but a few pence, naturally can't compare with the eggs bought in the palace.
Hearing this, Gan Long was not only puzzled, but also more puzzled. He said to himself, "Strange, why are the eggs laid by the same hen so different from jade and stone?"
Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju secretly complained, thinking: This lie has been pulled out, and we have to pull a new lie to make up for it. But how can we make up this new lie?
Fortunately, Wang Wenrui is an old official who has lived in a temple for a long time. When he was knocked unconscious in Liu Wenju, he had a brainwave and came up with a new trick. He said to Gan Long: "Tian Huangshi is a kind of Shoushan stone, and the inferior old pit stone is also a kind of Shoushan stone, but the quality of these two stones is very different."
Hearing this, Qianlong was thoughtful and didn't ask the price of eggs. Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju breathed a sigh of relief.
The three chatted for a while, and the ministers came in twos and threes, and Emperor Qianlong began to rise to the DPRK.
Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju think that the topic of eggs is over. Who knows, after they left the DPRK, Qianlong left them again. He asked them to bring some eggs the next morning. He wants to see the difference between an egg with a few pence and an egg with twelve silvers.
This time, Qianlong gave Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju a big problem, and they were almost worried to death. Because fools know that the only difference between eggs in the world is their size and taste?
Wang Wenrui came home worried and full of pain. It was not easy to tell his family and servants, but he couldn't hide the problem in his stomach. What should he do in court tomorrow?
Anxious Wang Wenrui paced up and down in the hospital, and unexpectedly came to the kitchen of the West Hospital.
He looked up and found himself unconsciously at the servant's place. He was about to leave when he heard a page chatting with the chef in a thick throat. The page said that he went to the vegetable market to buy food in the morning and met a strange thing: an egg seller was selling a basket of bad eggs, and the bad eggs were a penny. Who knows, there are really two idiots who pay for this inedible little man.
The chef sneered at the page: "What do you know? This bad guy who can't get into the kitchen is sold to flower farmers as fertilizer. Diluted with spring water, it is a good fertilizer for cultivating orchids ... "
When Wang Wenrui heard this, his heart was moved. The cook broke into the kitchen in three steps before he finished speaking.
When the chef and the page saw the master rushing in in a panic, they thought they had done something wrong and stood in the same place, afraid to catch their breath.
Wang Wenrui pointed to the chef and waiter and told them to put down their work and go to the vegetable market at once. No matter what the price is, they must buy back the basket of bad eggs.
After listening to these absent-minded words, the chef and the page wondered whether the master had taken the wrong medicine or they had misheard him. Although worried, but afraid to ask the master in detail, I had to rush to the vegetable market.
They think it is not easy to buy bad eggs with copper coins. Unexpectedly, at the vegetable market, a big buyer bought all the bad eggs in the basket.
They were so anxious that the cook saw that both the buyer and the seller were paying, and shouted, "Wait a minute, I'm willing to pay three pence for this basket of eggs." You know, the price at that time was five pence to buy two fresh eggs.
Suddenly, I heard that someone was willing to pay three pence for a bad egg. The coke that sells eggs is broken. He hurriedly pushed away a string of copper coins handed over by the buyer and wanted to trade with the chef. Not to be outdone, the buyer raised the price of bad eggs to 5p each. In order to buy bad eggs, the cook raised the price to eight pence. In this way, the two sides took turns driving up, and each bad egg sold one or two stripes. Finally, the chef and the page had to watch the basket of bad eggs being taken away by the buyer because they didn't bring much money when they went out.
The unprecedented strange thing of buying a bad egg for one or two silver immediately caused a sensation in the whole vegetable market, attracting people to watch and discuss. Seeing this, the vendor selling bad eggs was a little suspicious of his eyes, and could not guess whether it was a blessing or a curse. He hurried away with the money.
When the chef and the page returned home in frustration, Wang Wenrui, who was looking at Qiushui, saw that they had returned empty-handed, and asked why. After listening to the chef's detailed introduction, Wang Wenrui immediately felt heartbroken and fainted to the ground.
Amid the shouts of the crowd, Wang Wenrui opened his eyes. In despair, he suddenly remembered something. He quickly declined the doctor's pulse and ordered the sedan chair to discuss with the Liu family. Wang Wenrui guessed right. This basket of bad eggs was bought by Liu Wenju's housekeeper.
When Liu Wenju saw Wang Wenrui coming in a hurry, he knew his purpose. Liu Wenju thought, now he and Wang Wenrui are grasshoppers tied to a rope. If Wang Wenrui is unfair in this matter, he can't pass it. Thought of here, Liu Wenju warmly received Wang Wenrui and generously gave half of the bad eggs to Wang Wenrui.
Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju were on pins and needles when they appeared in court the next day. Finally, when the dynasty dispersed, Gan Long asked Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju to show him a few pence and a defective egg.
The eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first knocked on the eggs of the seven palaces in the sea bowl. These seven eggs are double yellow eggs, and the egg fragrance is bright. A dozen eggs brought by Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju were immediately compared to the sky and the earth. These eggs are all yellow, and most of them are yellow, with a strong smell.
Seeing this, Qianlong ordered the eunuch to stop "comparing eggs". He said to Wang Wenrui and Liu Wenju with deep sympathy, "You two are too frugal. You'd better not eat defective eggs for a few pence in the future If you want to eat them, you should eat twelve ounces of eggs. " After saying this, Gan Long said with deep feelings, "No wonder people often say that eating a mouthful of fresh peaches is better than eating a basket of rotten apricots ..."

It is said that Nu Wa, Yan Di Shennong's favorite daughter, looks slim but has a strong personality. Sisters all like dressing up, but she loves sports, especially water sports, swimming, boating, diving and surfing.
One morning, it was a sunny day, which was a good time to go out. The girl sailed in a canoe in the blue ocean. The sea breeze blows gently, and the waves rise and fall gently. She takes the boat to the depths of the ocean.
Young and innocent girl, ignorant of the sinister world, still intoxicated in the gentle blue sea. Suddenly, the calm sea changed face, the smiling sun disappeared, the gentle sea breeze became sharper than the blade, and the soft waves became harder than the hammer. With superb skills, the girl cut waves, avoiding the left and blocking the right, and coping with the sea. As time goes by, hour by hour, the waves of the sea are getting higher and higher, and the strength of girls is getting weaker and weaker.
As night fell, it was dark between heaven and earth. Perhaps the stars closed their eyes and couldn't bear to see the tragedy: the boat was crushed by the huge waves, the girl was swallowed up by the sea, and the sound of the waves covered up the girl's cry for help. But she didn't want to be drowned. Her soul became a beautiful and brave bird. When she flies, she always calls "Jingwei! Jingwei! " So I called her "Jingwei".
Jingwei lives on the Tufu Mountain, which is full of woodlands, and is bent on filling up the hateful East China Sea. Every day, he takes a branch or a stone from the western hills, spreads his wings and soars to the East China Sea and throws it into the sea. Day after day, year after year, whether it is hot or rainy, it keeps calling for "jingwei, jingwei" to stimulate its fighting spirit, and it will fill the East China Sea with perseverance.
The East China Sea is angry, roaring, choppy and foaming at the mouth: "Why did you fill me up?" Why do you hate me so much? "
In the sky, Jingwei bird cried bitterly, "Because you have taken my young life, because you will also take thousands of young lives in Qian Qian."
"Come on, bird! Even if you fill in one million years, you can't fill me in! " Donghai covered up his embarrassment with loud laughter.
Jingwei replied without hesitation: "Even if it is 10 million years, 10 million years, the end of the world, I will fill you in."
Since then, Jingwei has been going back and forth between Fadov Mountain and the East China Sea, throwing branches and stones from the West Mountain into the East China Sea.

There is a beautiful hill near Hangzhou. There is a small village with 10 families and a small temple. There was a severe drought one year, and there was no rain for several months. The stream dried up and people were too thirsty to live. One night, the old monk in the temple had a dream that two colorful tigers, glittering, ran into the temple in tandem. The old monk was wondering when suddenly a voice outside the temple gate woke him up from his dream. The old monk jumped out of bed and ran out. Ah! Two big tigers have really come and are digging in front of the temple. Although they are tall, brave and dignified, their eyes are gentle. After digging the soil, they reluctantly turned around here, then screamed and jumped into the jungle and left.
Everyone was shocked. When I woke up, I found a small pit on the ground and a cool spring was gurgling out. Great, people have water to drink! In memory of these two tigers, people call them "Tiger Running Spring". Moreover, the spring water from Tiger Running Spring always comes up there and is soaked in Longjing tea, which tastes mellow and is the top grade of tea.
