Whenever the moon was high in the sky and the night breeze was blowing, he would play the bamboo flute left behind by his grandfather to express his grief.'' On this day, Chun Bao had just eaten dinner and picked up the bamboo flute again. In the sky of Wanhua Village, his melodious and pleasant flute sound floated again, which made people feel a kind of indescribable flavor when they listened to it. I don't know when, the sky is clear ZheleiLiDi rain. He moved the bench to the house, looking out the door of the drizzly night, Chun Bao sank into the deep thoughts of his grandfather. Suddenly, a man stumbled from the outside, not waiting for Chunbao to speak, the man spoke first: 'I'm sorry to have disturbed you, let me take shelter here?

Listening to the voice of a woman, Chun Bao rushed to light the lamp. The light, Chun Bao see clearly. This is a girl, looks clear and beautiful, fall moving. The rainwater down her hair down, her delicate white face favor even more touching.

The girl, seeing that he did not say anything, added: "If you are really difficult, I will find another house." Turning around, she was about to go out.

Chun Bao hurriedly stopped the girl and said, "Please stay, girl! If the girl doesn't mind this place being dirty, stay and take shelter from the rain." He thought in his heart, if the girl really left, then I am too not ba mess; just stay and shelter from the rain." He thought in his heart, "If the girl really goes away, then I am a woman's benevolence. The girl was very happy and thanked him again and again.

Chun Bao saw that the girl was soaked to the skin, and her body was trembling. But he didn't have any clothes to replace her. He thought for a moment and said to the girl, "You stay in the house first to warm up, I will go to the garden to see the flowers." He picked up the straw raincoat hanging on the wall and went out, leaving the girl alone in the house. Chun Bao draped his straw raincoat around the garden for a while and saw that the rain had no intention of stopping. He walked around in the garden, unknowingly walked to the door of the house, saw the door of the house has been closed. He was about to go up and fasten the door, but felt that it was not right. Thinking about it, he leaned on the eaves of the house door room and waited up.

Chun Bao played the bamboo flute again, flute sound melodious, floating in the night sky, that flute sound seems to have a few more points of flavor. I don't know how much time I played, suddenly I heard someone talking behind me: "Brother Chun Bao, your bamboo flute is really good!" Hearing the voice, Chun Bao felt a little familiar, Chun Bao turned around and looked. Sure enough, it was the girl who came to shelter from the rain that night. The girl was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand and smiled faintly at him.

"It's you! When did you come? How do you know my name?" Chun Bao asked several questions in a row.

The girl smiled and said, "I've been here for a while, and I didn't dare to disturb you because I was so mesmerized by your flute playing. As for your name, I will not tell you.

The girl took out some fragrant rice from the bamboo basket in her hand, and took out a pair of brand-new cloth shoes. Chun Bao did not know what to say, since the death of his grandfather, there has not been a person so close to the cup considerate him.

Said, pulled a golden jade hairpin from his head, gave it to Chun Bao, floated away, leaving behind a fragrance.

As the day dawned, Chunbao recalled what the girl had said, and kept chanting about the southern part of the village and the fenced garden... He suddenly realized something, and walked towards the peony bushes in the garden. But he saw that the peonies were moving with dew, and there was a peony named Blue, B5, which was dry and loose, without a drop of dew. There was not a single drop of dew on it. Chun Bao immediately thought that the girl's name was Blue, and he had already guessed that this Blue girl must be the Peony Fairy. Then he thought, "That's right! The blue girl stayed in my house for the whole night, naturally there is no dew. He was busy plucking apart the stamens, and saw that one of them was missing. He took out the jade hairpin the girl had given him and saw that it was missing. He took out the jade hairpin given to him by the girl and attached it to the peony, and the peony suddenly turned into the blue girl of last night: Chunbao was shocked and delighted: "Blue girl!

Selected Folktales 5

A custom should have a time process from the occurrence of the formation of a trend. The first time I saw this was when I was a kid, and it was the first time I saw a kid. Therefore, there are people according to the folk of the "Three Kingdoms Outreach", the origin of the time to catch the week before the era of the Three Kingdoms.

Legend has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, the owner of the Wu dynasty, was not yet emperor for a long time, and his son Sun Deng died of an illness, so Sun Quan could only choose a crown prince from among his other sons. A man named Jing Yang Xihu cloth to see Sun Quan, said that the heir to the throne is a great cause, not only to see whether the son is virtuous, but also to see the talent of the grandson, and said that he has a test to distinguish between the grandson of the wise and the foolish, Sun Quan ordered Jing Yang to choose an auspicious date.

is the day of the princes of the son of each will be carried into the palace, only to see the King raised a full of beads and shells, ivory, rhinoceros horn, etc. plate, so that the young grandsons to grab at will. The children or grab jade, or take rhinoceros horn. But Sun and the son of Sun Hao, one hand grasped the simple book, one hand grasped the ribbon. Sun Quan was overjoyed, so he named Sun He as the crown prince. However, the other princes were not convinced, and each of them made friends with their ministers and fought in secret, forcing Sun Quan to depose Sun He and set up another Sun Liang as the heir.

After the death of Sun Quan, Sun Liang reigned for only seven years before being overthrown in a coup d'état and replaced by Sun Xiu. After the death of Sun Xiu, the ministers wanted to choose an older son as the emperor, and it happened that Sun Hao, who was over 20 years old, was chosen, and some of the old ministers recalled the way of choosing the heir adopted by the first prospect of raising the son, and could not help but marvel at it. Later, many people also used similar methods to test the future of children and grandchildren, which formed the flow was (pi) Jiangnan's "test child" custom.

It is also believed that the origin of the custom of "test children" can be traced back to the pre-Qin Dynasty, in fact, is the product of the Chu people worship God and believe in the culture of witchcraft. Zuozhuan" - Zhaogong thirteen years, the king of Chu **** no first son, want to choose the heir in the five favorite son of the common people, and was sacrificed to the famous mountains and rivers, praying that: "Please God to choose in the five, so that the master of the earth and grain." And with a piece of jade biscuit all over the famous mountains and rivers, said: "When the biscuit and worship, the God established also, who dares to violate it?" Then bury this jade bik secretly in the courtyard of the ancestral temple, let the five concubine son according to the eldest and youngest in order to enter the temple to worship kneeling ancestors, who just pressed in the buried jade bik position, he is the gods established by the king of the heir.

The youngest king of Chu Ping was carried into the ancestral temple, two times to worship, are pressed on the jade jade buttons. However, the king of Chu*** eventually made his eldest son (i.e. King Kang of Chu), who had his feet on each side of the jade jade jade when he knelt down, the crown prince. The minister Wei Gui was very emotional and thought that this move was against the destiny of heaven, so he instructed his son to ask King Ping, who really took the throne in the Chu domestic disputes. This story in the history of the legend, and Sun Quan selection of the legend is very similar, can also be regarded as the "test child" of the custom of the goblet. This kind of superstition with lots to predict the life of a child witchcraft, of course, for the reverence for simplicity, the importance of education in the Confucian culture of the Central Plains do not want, which is precisely the "test child" technique for a long time can only be inherited in the southern region and can not flow to the north of the important reasons. This is also the reason why Yan Zhiwei criticized this custom.

What exactly is the concept that led to the creation of the custom of catching the week to try children, scholars have different opinions. Some people believe that this custom originated from the original concept of signs, that is, that all kinds of phenomena in the natural world, the world of good and bad luck, before it happens are signs. It is a psychological concept that primitive man was unable to explain and grasp the powerful natural forces and man's own destiny. Therefore, to grasp the week to predict the future, not only foolish and absurd, but also manifested as a way of thinking on the regression.

Some people believe that the week is actually the celebration of the anniversary of the first birthday of the person, it is the same as the birth of a child, the three Chao wash children, full moon ceremony, 100 days of the ceremony, etc., belongs to the traditional birth rituals, the core of which is the continuation of life, the smooth and prosperous wish Ji. It has also been pointed out that the capture week is a kind of vulgar belief activities within the family, not a social custom, but it is the root of the belief is really a thing people touch each other the concept of witchcraft, its rituals and the date of the day is to create this mystical atmosphere of choice.

As a divination theater folklore events, it is the childhood accidental contact to the future to make inevitable judgments, naturally, is absurd and irrational. However, it reflects the deep affection of parents for their children, and at the same time, there is a certain nature of the family game, so it is also different from superstitious activities, but it is only a kind of human flavor, to the pursuit of child-rearing beliefs and customs.
