Legends and fairy tales of Gusao Tower

The legend of Gusao Tower is a traditional folk story in Quanzhou, Fujian. Villagers living at the foot of Baogai Mountain committed suicide by jumping off a cliff to commemorate the failure of their aunt and husband. Next, I will bring you the legends and fairy tales of Gusao Tower, hoping to help you.

According to legend, more than 800 years ago, there was a water dragon king who was 80 miles long, lying across Anton, with his head in the southwest and his tail in the northeast. This is a lazy dragon. It only stretches its waist and turns over once a year, which is strange. Every time a monster is created, it will spit out 7749 days of evil water and turn Fiona Fang into a Wang Yang. At that time, people often worried that Anton's life and property would be swallowed up by this hose sooner or later.

One night, while people were sleeping, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Build a tower to save the dragon and calm the water!" " "At first, everyone didn't care, but for three consecutive nights, people shouted like this. Someone ran out of curiosity and saw nothing. Later, as soon as people met, they talked about the story of someone shouting "Dragon Water in Tower Town" at night. "Everyone thought that in order to eliminate the flood, we must first suppress the water dragon king to prevent it from stretching, turning over and spitting out evil water. In this way, the construction of this tower is solved. As soon as the wind spread, masons, carpenters and masons from the city and countryside came. Hundreds of people gathered at once to discuss how to build the tower. When it was difficult, two aunts came to the south. They said they also came to build a tower. We discussed an idea: in order to get rid of the flood, we must build two towers to hold down the head and tail of this lazy dragon and prevent it from turning over. After listening to everyone's opinions, the two sisters-in-law said, "Good! In this way, you all go home and we will deal with it. " As soon as the voice fell, the two of them disappeared.

The next morning, everyone got up and took a look. To their great surprise, a very beautiful seven-story pagoda was built in the west gate of Andong City. Everyone climbed to the top of the tower and looked northeast, even more surprised. The pagoda there is also built, and there seems to be a tile knife and an ash bucket on it.

It turns out that these two aunts are not mortals, but immortals. After they promised to build the tower, they would work together, and the girl was responsible for building the Miaotong Tower in the west gate of Dongcheng, holding down the faucet; Sister-in-law is responsible for building a moon tower in Beitang, east of Anton City, to suppress the dragon tail. The two agreed that the stars would start work and the crow would be the number. In this way, two people built their own towers. In the middle of the night, the girl's wonderful tower was built first, because her sister-in-law had to nurse, and it was a little late, and the top of the tower was unfinished. The girl looked at the tower she built and was very satisfied. When she was happy, she held her nose and learned to crow. It doesn't matter, but she frightened her sister-in-law and called it a day. So, until today, there is still a corner on the top of Tangyue Tower in Northeast China. From a distance, the brick lying on it looks like a gray bucket and a tile knife.
