Legends and stories of the old moon

As we all know, the matchmaker has a nickname, called? Old man under the moon? , abbreviation? Yue Lao? There is a strange legend about his origin.

In the second year of Tang Chaoyuan, a scholar named Gu Wei from Ling Du visited friends in Qinghe and stayed at Nandian Inn in Songcheng County, Songzhou City. There lived a guest surnamed Zhang in the inn. I heard that he was not married, and said that he would introduce the daughter of the former Qinghe satrap to him, and agreed to meet in front of longxing temple the next morning to tell him the woman's reply.

At four o'clock the next day, Wei Gu got up in a hurry and went to longxing temple. Before the guest named Zhang arrived, he saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting on the steps, leaning against a cloth bag and turning pages at the moon. He took a peek, didn't know a word, and said to the old man, I am familiar with classics. Why don't I know a word? The old man smiled and said, how do you know this book is not a human book? The above is the collocation of men and women in the world. ?

Gu only had some doubts and asked what was in the bag. The old man said that it was a red line to tie the feet of husband and wife. A man and a woman were tied up at birth. In the future, even if an enemy's family, the gap between the rich and the poor, different beauty and ugliness, Wan Li apart, will also become husband and wife. ? Wei Guyi was surprised and asked: Which daughter should Xiao Sheng's wife be? The old man flipped through the book and said that the daughter of Chen Popo, who sells vegetables in Song Cheng Nandian North, is only three years old this year and will marry you at the age of sixteen. As for Pan Yun's daughter, it's none of your business. ?

Gu idealistically thought that when she was sixteen, I was already in my thirties. What's the difference after all these years? So he said:? Can I meet my future wife?

The old man took him to a vegetable market and saw a blind woman hobbling in with a little girl. He pointed to the little girl and said, This is your wife. ? Wei Gu said angrily. If I am a sensible person, can I marry the vulgar daughter of an old country woman? I might as well kill her. ? The old man smiled. It's tied with red rope. Can it be reversed? Then he drifted away.

What does Wei Gu believe? The servant killed the little girl, and the servant was timid. He only pierced the little girl's forehead and ran away.

Year after year, although good people proposed to Wei Gu, they all failed. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and Wei Gu's family already exists, becoming a military commander under Wang Tai, the secretariat of Xiangzhou. Wang Tai appreciated his talent, betrothed his daughter to him and decided to marry the bride on another day. The bride king is 28 years old and beautiful as a fairy in Yaochi. Wei Gu was very satisfied, and the husband and wife respected each other as guests.

The bride always sticks a colorful paper flower between her eyes, and she doesn't take it off when she sleeps at night. She has to stick it again after taking a shower. Wei Gu couldn't help asking why. When I was a child, I was stabbed by a gangster, and the sticker was spent to cover up the wound.

Secretly surprised, he asked about his wife's life experience, and Wang told the truth.

Wang's parents died when he was a baby, and he lived a hard life with Chen, a wet nurse who sold vegetables for a living. Later, Chen Po found out that her uncle Wang Tai was a secretariat, so she was given to Wang Tai for adoption. Wang Tai treated her as his own, and married Wei Gu when she was sixteen. Wei Gu was greatly surprised at his wife's account. He remembered that longxing temple met an old man who opened a book to the moon, and decided that the old man was the media god who was in charge of human marriage this month. Everyone is talking about this adventure, and everyone knows it. Later, scholar Li Fuyan named this rumor? An engagement store? , included in the book "Continued Mystery", passed down from generation to generation, known to men, women and children, the old man under the moon? 、? Yue Lao? Is a marriage reference.

Legends and stories of the old moon II

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Wei Gu. Once, he traveled to Song Cheng and stayed in Nandian.

One night, Wei Gu was wandering in the street and saw an old man sitting on the floor in the moonlight, turning over a big, thick book, while his body was woven with a big cloth bag full of red ropes.

Wei Gu was curious and asked him: Uncle, what book are you reading? ?

The old man replied:? This is a book that records the marriage of men and women in the world. ?

Hearing this, Gu Wei became more curious and asked again. Then what is the red rope in your bag for?

The old man smiled and said to Wei Gu. These red ropes are used to tie the feet of husband and wife. Whether men and women live far apart or far apart, as long as I tie these red ropes to their feet, they will make up and become husband and wife. ?

Hearing this, Wei Gu naturally didn't believe it, thinking that the old man was joking with him, but he was still full of curiosity about this strange old man. When he wanted to ask him some questions, the old man stood up, took his book and bag and walked to the rice market. Wei Gu followed him.

When they arrived at the rice market, they saw a blind woman and a little girl about three years old coming face to face. The old man said to Wei Gu. The little girl in the blind girl's arms is your future wife. ?

Wei Gu was very angry when he heard this. He thought the old man was joking with him, so he asked Ganu to kill the little girl to see if he would become his wife in the future.

The domestic slave ran forward, stabbed the girl and ran away at once. When Wei Gu tried to get back at the old man, he was gone.

Time flies. Fourteen years have passed in an instant. At this time, Wei Guyi found a satisfactory object and was about to get married. The other party is the apple of Wang Tai, the secretariat of Xiangzhou. He is beautiful, but he has no scars. Wei Gu felt very strange, so he asked his father-in-law. Why does his eyebrows have scars?

Xiangzhou secretariat said after listening:? Very irritating. Fourteen years ago in Song Cheng, nanny Chen carried him through the rice market. A fanatic stabbed her for no reason. Fortunately, her life was not in danger, leaving only this scar. What a great misfortune! ?

Wei Gu listen, paused. The past 14 years ago quickly came to his mind. He thought, is he the little girl who ordered the servant to assassinate him? So he asked nervously:? Is the nanny a blind girl?

Wang Tai saw his son-in-law looking interested and asked some strange words, so he asked him. Yes, she is blind, but how do you know?

Wei Gu confirmed all these times, and he was really surprised. For a moment, he couldn't answer. It took a long time to calm down, and then he told the whole story of meeting the old man under the moon in Song Cheng fourteen years ago.

Wang Tai was also surprised.

Wei Gu realized that what the old man said under the moon was not a joke. Their marriage was really decided by God.

Therefore, the couple cherish this marriage more and live a loving life.

It soon spread to Song Cheng, and the local people changed their names to Nandian to commemorate the appearance of the old man under the moon. An engagement store? .

Because of the spread of this story, everyone believes that the combination of men and women is tied by the old man with a red rope under the moon, so later generations are called matchmakers? Old man under the moon? , abbreviation? Yue Lao? .

Legend of the Moon, Story of the Elder 3

In the early years of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan, there was a man named Wei Gu who lost his parents in his teens and always wanted to get married and start a family as soon as possible. However, many proposals were unsuccessful. This? Back in Song Cheng, he lived in a shop. The overnight guests introduced him to Miss Sima Panfang of Qinghe and agreed to meet in front of Dianxi longxing temple the next morning. Wei Gu was eager to propose and ran away at dawn.

At this time, the moon is about to set, but the moonlight is still bright. I saw an old man sitting on the steps with a backpack on his back, checking documents by moonlight. Look at the document, but I don't know a word. Wei Gu asked curiously, What are you reading, old man? When I was a child, I studied hard. I don't know all the calligraphy, even the Sanskrit of Tianzhu can understand it. It's just that this book has never been seen before. What happened? The old man smiled and said that there is not a book in this world. How can you understand it? Wei Gu asked again? What book is that? ,? The old man said: the book of the underworld. ? Wei Gu asked? How did people from the underworld come here? The old man said, it's not that I shouldn't have come, but that you went out too early, so you met me. Officials in the underworld are in charge of human affairs, and of course they often come to the world. Ask again:? Then what are you in charge of? The old man replied:? World marriage encyclopedia. ?

Wei Gu was overjoyed and asked? I, Wei Gu, am alone. I want to get married early and have children. In the past ten years, I have proposed marriage many times, but all failed. Today, I am invited to discuss the proposal to Miss Pansma. Can it succeed? The old man replied:? The opportunity hasn't arrived yet. Your wife is only three years old and won't come into your house until she is seventeen. ? Wei Gu was very disappointed. By the way, he asked, what's in the old man's backpack? The old man said: red rope is used to tie the feet of men and women who should get married. The local people sit down and I'll tie them up quietly. So, even if they were born in an enemy's home, or expensive and cheap, separated from each other, or one of them went to the ends of the earth to be a policeman, or in a foreign land in Wu Chu, just use this rope? Department, no one can escape. Your foot is tied to that foot. What's the use of pursuing others? Wei Gu asked again? Then where is my wife? What does her family do? Answer:? The daughter of Mrs. Chen, who sells vegetables in the north of this shop. ? Wei Gu said? Can I see you? The old man said: Mrs. Chen once came here behind her back to sell vegetables. If you come with me, I can show you. ?

It's dawn, and those who want to wait don't come. The old man rolled up the book and left. Wei Gu quickly followed him and followed the vegetable market all the way. There is a blind woman with a little girl about three years old in her arms? The girl looks ugly in rags. The old man pointed to him and said, this is your wife. ? When Wei Gu saw this, he was furious and said, I killed her, okay? ! ? The old man said: this person is destined to enjoy the title, and it is because of her that you can be made a county magistrate. How could you kill him? Then the old man disappeared.

When Wei Gu returns to the store, sharpen it? Give the knife to his servant and say, you can always do things. If you help me kill that girl, you will get a reward of 10 thousand yuan. ? The servant agreed. The next day, the servant hid, the knife came to the market, stabbed the girl in the crowd, and the whole market was sensational. The servant fled back in a frenzy. Q:? Did you get it? The servant said, I want to stab the center of the earth. Don't want to just hit it? Eyebrows. ? Since then, Wei Gu proposed in many ways, but failed once.

Fourteen years later, Wei Gu was appointed as Xiangzhou to join the army, because the court believed that his father had made great contributions before his death. Wang Tai, the secretariat, made Wei a part-time supervisor, thinking that Wei had talent, so he married his daughter. Miss age about 16 or 17 years old, beautiful appearance, Wei Gu is very satisfied. It's just that she often inserts a bud between her eyebrows, even when washing her face. After many years of marriage, Wei Gu asked many times why she wore Duan Hua. The lady wept bitterly and said, I am only the niece of the Secretariat, not my own daughter. My father used to be a county magistrate in Song Cheng and died in office. At that time, I was still in infancy, and my mother and brother died one after another. There is only one farm in the south of Song Dynasty, where I live with wet nurse Chen. Zhuangtian is close to the hotel and sells vegetables every day. Chen pities me for my young age, never forgets, and often takes me to the food market. One day, I was stabbed by a heartless thief, and the scar was still there, so I covered it with a bud. Seven or eight years ago, my uncle went to be an official nearby, so I followed him, and now I marry you as my own daughter. ? Wei Gu asked? Chen? Is one eye blind? The lady said: Yes How did you know? Wei Gu said frankly:? Stab you. I ordered it. ? So what happened in front, described it again. After these twists and turns, the couple became more respectful and in love. Later, he gave birth to a son, and in order to guard the wild goose gate, he named Mrs. Wang? The wife of Taiyuan county? .

After the story of Wei Gu spread, people knew that there was a fairy who was in charge of human marriage, but they didn't know his last name, so they had to call her? Old man under the moon? , abbreviation? Yue Lao? . His temples and statues are everywhere.
