In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor was a very wise king. He once defeated the invader Chiyou for the survival of the nation. The era of the Yellow Emperor was also a period of great inventions in ancient times. Ships, calendars, arithmetic and music were invented in this era.

Huangdi invented the tripod in his later years. When the first tripod was cast, suddenly a dragon fell from the sky. The dragon has big eyes and a long silver beard. The whole dragon body was covered with golden light, and when it came down, it seemed to have brought 10 thousand pieces of gold forging, which covered the sky.

The Yellow Emperor and his courtiers were surprised. The dragon slowly approached the Yellow Emperor, and his eyes became very gentle. Suddenly, he said to the Yellow Emperor, "The Emperor of Heaven is very happy to see that you have made a step forward in Chinese civilization, so he specially sent me to take you to heaven to meet the Emperor of Heaven."

Hearing this, the Yellow Emperor nodded, stepped onto the dragon's back and said to the ministers, "The Emperor of Heaven is going to summon me. Take care, goodbye. "

"Please let us follow you!" The ministers rushed up, hoping to climb the dragon's back and follow the Yellow Emperor. But the dragon twisted its body and threw those people down.

Jinlong and Huangdi flew into the sky together and disappeared into the clouds. The ministers were helpless and could only watch the Yellow Emperor ascend to heaven.

A minister looked at the sky and said thoughtfully, "Not everyone can get on it!" " Only a great man like the Yellow Emperor is qualified! "

Later, in order to commemorate the Yellow Emperor, people named the place where the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven "Dinghu".

Legend of "nian" beast

According to legend, there was a monster named Nian in ancient China, with long tentacles and a ferocious face. Nian lived on the seabed for many years, and climbed ashore every New Year's Eve, devouring livestock and killing people. Therefore, every New Year's Eve, people in the village fled to the deep mountains to avoid the harm of the "Nian" beast. On New Year's Eve this year, people in Taohua Village were taking refuge in the mountains when an old beggar came from outside the village. He was leaning on crutches, carrying a bag on his arm, with elegant silver whiskers and staring at Matthew. Some villagers sealed windows and locked doors, some packed their bags, some herded cattle and drove sheep, and people shouted boo everywhere, which was a scene of panic. At this time, who still has the mind to take care of this begging old man? Only an old woman in the east of the village gave the old man some food and suggested that he go up the mountain quickly to avoid Nian beast. The old man smiled and said, "If my mother-in-law lets me stay at home for one night, I will definitely drive Nian beast away." The old woman looked at him carefully in surprise and found that he was handsome, energetic and different. But she continued to persuade and begged the old man to laugh without saying a word. My mother-in-law had no choice but to leave home and take refuge in the mountains.

At midnight, Nian beast broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the old woman's house at the east end of the village had red paper on the door and bright candles in the room. The beast Nian trembled and let out a long whistle. Nian stared at her mother-in-law's house for a while, then screamed and rushed over. As we approached the door, there was a sudden explosion in the yard, and Nian trembled and dared not go any further. It turns out that Nian was most afraid of red, fire and explosion. At this time, my mother-in-law's door was wide open, and I saw an old man in a red robe laughing in the hospital. "Nian" was frightened to disgrace and fled in confusion.

The next day was the first day of the first month, and the people who came back from refuge were very surprised to see that the village was safe and sound. At this time, the old woman suddenly realized and quickly told the villagers the promise of begging for the elderly. The villagers flocked to the old woman's house together, only to see red paper on her mother-in-law's door, a pile of unburned bamboo still exploding in the yard, and a few red candles still glowing in the house ... In order to celebrate the auspicious arrival, the ecstatic villagers put on new clothes and hats one after another and went to relatives and friends' houses to congratulate and say hello. The story soon spread in the surrounding villages, and people knew the way to drive away the "Nian" beast. From then on, every year on New Year's Eve, every family posted red couplets and put bamboo. Every household has a bright candlelight, so it is better to wait for the New Year. In the early morning of the first day, I want to say hello to my relatives and friends. This custom has spread more and more widely, and has become the most solemn traditional festival among the people in China.

The legend of the folk story "lucky money"

On New Year's Eve, every child can get lucky money.

The earliest lucky money appeared in the Han dynasty, also known as winning money. It is not circulated in the market, but cast as an ornamental in the form of coins, which has the function of avoiding evil spirits. Coins are generally engraved with auspicious characters such as "Long live the Millennium" and "Eliminate disasters and ward off evil spirits" and auspicious patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, tortoise snakes and Pisces.

There is a story about lucky money. Legend has it that in ancient times there was a small demon named Chong, with black and white hands. Every year on New Year's Eve, he comes out to touch the forehead of a sleeping child. The child will have a high fever after being touched, talk in his sleep, and become a dementia fool after the fever is gone. People stay up all night for fear that the special service will hurt their children. This is called "keeping the special service".

It is said that there is a family named Guan in Jiaxing, and the husband and wife have children in their later years and cherish them very much. On New Year's Eve, in order to prevent "worship" from disturbing children all the time, the children wrapped eight copper coins in red paper, unpacked them, unpacked them and unpacked them again. After sleeping, put the wrapped eight copper coins on the pillow. In the middle of the night, an evil wind blew, and the little black boy was about to touch the child's head with his bare hands. Suddenly, the child's pillow burst into a golden light and ran away screaming. So the story spread, and everyone followed suit. I wrapped the money in red paper on New Year's Eve, and I didn't dare to harass it again. Therefore, people call this kind of money "precious money". The pronunciation of "precious" and "ancient" is the same. Over time, it is called "lucky money".

Folk story-the legend of Teng

Dongtengcheng Institute is called "Tengxiaoguo". Because there was a "rattan country" here in the old society, tengxian was named after it.

Legend has it that it rained for more than half a month more than two thousand years ago. Many houses have been knocked down, and the water overflows to the knees. The water of the Yellow River kept rising, and finally the Yellow River burst, and the big eyes saw "Teng Xiaoguo". People were so scared that suddenly a dragon fell from the sky. The dragon lay across the east and west, ten miles long, blocking the flood. People hurried to tell Teng Wengong that Teng Wengong had brought his minister and son to see it.

Wang Teng's son is about twenty years old and is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. When he saw the dragon, the longan was surprisingly big and seemed to reveal a fierce spirit. He thought: dragons will smoke and it will rain. This is the ghost of the flood. He rolled up his bow, full of strings, and aimed his strength at longan. The arrow was inserted into the dragon's left eye, and blood flowed out of the eye, dyeing the water red. When Wang Teng's son pulled up his bow again, ready to shoot at the dragon's right eye, Wang Teng knocked off the arrow in his hand and shouted, "Little rebel, you are in big trouble. Why don't you kneel down and confess to Long Ye? " Say that finish, Wang Teng knelt down, ministers also knelt down, the people also knelt down, and the little prince had to kneel down.

The dragon shed tears, thinking that he was not afraid of fatigue to protect people's lives and property, but he was shot by the little prince. His heart is broken and his eyes hurt. He might as well leave. People begged: "Dragon Lord, you must not leave! If you leave, we are all finished! Please have pity on us. " Its heart is soft again, yes! When I leave, so many people will die in the belly of the fish. It stayed there until the flood receded.

King Teng gave a banquet in honor of the Dragon King, who was heartbroken and decided to leave here. Wang Teng went to save it himself, but it refused to come. King Teng knew that he couldn't keep it, so he thought of a way: he ordered skilled craftsmen all over the country to build a temple on the dragon king's head when he was resting and put it there. Therefore, tengxian gradually prospered and became a famous county in China.
