The main content of fairy tale Zhu

Mainly tells the story of Shun He.

According to legend, in the Yao and Shun era, nine dragons lived in nine caves in Jiuyi Mountain, Hunan Province, and often came to play in Xiangjiang River, so that floods soared, crops were washed away, houses were washed down, and people complained.

Shun Di cares about people's sufferings. When he learned that the dragon was killing the people, he couldn't eat and was on pins and needles. He is bent on going to the south to help people solve problems and punish dragons.

Shun Di has two concubines-E Huang and Nv Ying, two daughters of Emperor Yao. Although they were born in the royal family and were empresses, they were deeply influenced and taught by Yao and Shun. They don't crave pleasure, but they always care about people's sufferings.

They are reluctant to go home this time. However, considering that in order to relieve the disaster and suffering of the people in Xiangjiang River, they still fought back their inner sadness and sent Shun on the road with joy.

Shun Di left, and E Huang and Nv Ying waited for the good news that he conquered the dragon and Kaixuan at home, praying for him day and night, hoping that he would return home in triumph at an early date. However, year after year passed, the swallows came and went several times, and the flowers bloomed several times. Shun Di is still missing, and they are worried.

E Huang said, "Was he injured by a dragon or was he ill in another country?"

Nv Ying said: "Is he in distress on the road, or is the mountain road far away and lost?"

The two of them care about each other. Instead of staying at home for a long time, not expecting to hear from them or see their relatives, it is better to find them. So, E Huang and Nv Ying braved the wind and frost and went to the Xiangjiang River in the south to find their husbands.

After crossing the mountains and wading through the water, they finally came to Jiuyi Mountain. They walked along the big Bauhinia River to the top of the mountain, and then along the small Bauhinia River, they searched every mountain village in Jiuyi Mountain and visited every path in Jiuyi Mountain.

On this day, they came to a place called Sanfengshi. Here, three big stones stand, surrounded by bamboo, and there is a high grave built with pearl shells.

They were surprised and asked the villagers nearby:

"Whose grave is so spectacular and beautiful? Why do three big stones stand on the wall? " The villagers told them tearfully, "This is Shun Di's grave. His old man came here from the far north to help us get rid of nine dragons. The people live a happy life, but he has done his best, sweating like rain, working hard, suffering and dying here. "

It turns out that after Shun Di's death, the villagers in Xiangjiang River built this tomb specially for Shun Di in order to thank him for his great kindness. A group of cranes on Jiuyi Mountain were also moved by it. They came to the South China Sea day and night, picked up dazzling pearls and scattered them on Shun Di's grave, which became this pearl grave. Shun Di's three-toothed rake, which was used to kill the dragon, put three huge stones into the ground.

When E Huang and Nv Ying learned the truth, they were so sad that they cried. They were very sad and cried for nine days, kuya. Their eyes are swollen, their voices are hoarse and their tears are dry.

Finally, he died beside Shun Di with blood and tears. E Huang and Nv Ying shed tears on the bamboo hill of Jiuyi Mountain. There are few tears on the bamboo pole, purple, snow-white and blood-red. This is the "xiangfeizhu".
