Where did the swing come from? In that sentence

Spring is here, looking at the warm sunshine, a large large golden rapeseed flowers, remembering the hours, remembering the hours of the swing, flying up and down on the rope, and surprise, and fear, that feeling is still fresh in my mind!

Talking about the origin of the swing, I don't know if you know, it is said that the Korean women have the habit of swinging. Why do they like swinging so much? There is a beautiful and touching story circulating here.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess in a kingdom, the king and queen loved her so much that they built a beautiful palace for her. In order to prevent accidents, the king never let the princess leave the place, only the Dragon Boat Festival day every year to allow her to go to the Royal Garden to play. The king also gave a ban to the whole country, if any man in the world dares to steal a glance at the princess, he will be sentenced to death immediately. So the people knew that there was an incredibly beautiful princess in the palace, but no one had ever seen her with their own eyes. Besides, everyone knew about the king's ban, so who was willing to risk their lives?

This year's Dragon Boat Festival came, the princess in the court ladies surrounded down to the royal garden. The garden blossomed, bees, butterflies flying between the flowers, fish swimming freely in the water, birds in the branches of the "chirp chirp" singing. Princess in the palace closed for a year, is now like a bird released from the cage, the heart has indescribable joy, happy. She will pick flowers in the flowers and butterflies; a moment to the pond to watch the fish; a moment and the court ladies in the willow forest running and laughing. She is playing happily, suddenly outside the palace wall came a clear and pleasant flute sound. The sound of the flute is melodious and melodious. The princess could not help but stop in her tracks, and stood under the flowers and listened quietly. She was completely mesmerized by the beautiful sound of the flute. Who played it so well? How she wanted to see what kind of person it was! But the high palace wall blocked her view. She ascended the wigwam and still could not see anything beyond. The princess knew her father's ban, no one dared to let her out of the high, thick walls, and people outside certainly did not dare to come into the palace. Just when she was anxious and worried, there was nothing she could do, suddenly a breeze blew, and a few willow branches brushed her cheeks. She looked at the swinging willow branches, and her mind lit up and came up with an idea. She ordered the court ladies to bring colorful silk, not far from the wall of a tall tree fork to make a swing.

The princess mounted the swing, swinging the colorful silk, swinging, swinging, swinging higher and higher. The court ladies see the princess in the air like a colorful phoenix flying in the wind, are happy to cheer up. The princess also swing harder, swinging higher than the palace wall. It was in this moment, she looked out of the wall, understand: is a young handsome young man is holding a flute, standing there staring at her!

The young man had traveled to the capital on the Dragon Boat Festival to meet the princess. The young man had long heard that the princess was the most beautiful girl in the world, and he was determined to go into the capital to see for himself. He asked around and learned that only on the Dragon Boat Festival could the princess come out of the palace to play in the royal garden. He waited and waited until the Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, he came to the wall of the imperial garden early. Just then there was a burst of laughter from the girls in the garden. He knew that it was the Princess who had come to play. He turned around outside the garden for half a day. He couldn't see anything, and finally sat down and took out his flute and played it. As he played, he suddenly heard a cheer of "Morning him, morning him" coming from the garden. When he looked up, he saw a heavenly beauty flying over the wall, looking at himself with affection. He was so dumbfounded that he didn't even realize that the flute in his hand had fallen to the ground. The girl flashed back, but he still stood there dumbfounded. From the girl's dress, he concluded that this person was the princess. He stood there hoping and hoping that the princess would fly over the high wall again, but after waiting for half a day, he never saw the princess fly up again. After a while, the sound of laughter in the garden gradually disappeared, he was still waiting there, until darkness came down to leave the place reluctantly. After a few days, he came to see the princess, but never saw the princess to the garden, and finally had to go back to the countryside full of love.

Besides, the princess, since seeing the young man, the heart all day long, always shaking in front of the young man's handsome figure, ears haunting the crisp and pleasant, such as leaning as described in the flute, day by day, the thought of the mood is also more and more intense, the young man's home where to live? How can I see him? I thought about it and finally came up with a good idea. This day, the princess suddenly fell ill, the news of the princess sick, but the king and queen anxious. Busy to find the medical officer for the princess to see a doctor, after a hundred medical treatment, the princess's disease not only did not get better, but more and more aggravated, anxious to the king and queen round and round. Princess see father and queen for their own sick anxious into this, the heart can not help but secretly funny. One day, the queen again in front of the bed tears, the princess deliberately said to the queen: "Mother ah, the child's disease is bored out, if you listen to music, perhaps the child's disease will be better."

The queen heard the princess said and happy and angry, said: "You silly child, want to listen to music, what is difficult, not to mention listening to music, is the stars in the sky, your father will let people up to the sky for you to pick ah." She immediately told the king. Sure enough, the king immediately sent the best musicians in the palace to play for the princess. Unexpectedly, the princess listened to it and remained sad and listless. The queen asked, "Son, you hear how ah?" The princess pretended to be impatient and said, "I don't want to listen to this messy sound, I want to hear the flute." When the palace flute player to play, the princess again think that these flute player blowing is not good. The queen had no choice but to speak to the king, who immediately ordered the selection of the best flute players in the country. The king immediately ordered the selection of the best flute players in the country, and a hundred flute players from all over the country were immediately sent to the capital.

On the day of the performance, both the king and the queen came to the princess's palace, and a stage was set up outside the wall, and the flute players who had been chosen took the stage one by one to perform. The flute players all played with the skills they had learned in their lives. One, two, three, although some of them played very beautifully, but the princess listened to it, but never showed a smile on her face. Ninety-nine blowing finished, the princess's eyebrows are still tightly knitted together, the king and queen's face also shrouded in a layer of dark clouds. At this time, the princess heart is more anxious and uneasy, is he not selected? Maybe he met with some misfortune? The princess's heart is simply to be tortured broken.

Before the hundredth, that is, the last flute player played, the flute that crisp and pleasant sound, the princess suddenly sat up from the bed. Ah, it's him, it's him, he really came, listen, the sound of the flute is so familiar, so stirring, that as pouring as the voice is calling to himself again. She ran to the window to take a look, the flute player is really the person she misses day and night, a line of hot tears rolled down her cheeks.

And the young man's heart flew to the princess since he saw her. During the daytime labor rest, a sit down, will pull out the flute "whimpering" blowing up, blowing blowing, as if he saw the princess is looking at his own smile. How he longed to see the princess again ah! But then went to the capital several times, in addition to the tall walls of the palace, he could not see anything. One day he suddenly heard that the Princess was ill, and that the King had ordered that the best flutists in the country should be chosen to play for her. His heart could not help but tremble, Ah, what a wise and affectionate princess, you have not forgotten me. The young man was finally chosen. On the way to the capital, the closer to the capital, the faster his heart beats, because he is about to see the princess who misses him day and night.

On the day of the performance, when the last turn of his turn, he straightened his lapel and came to the stage towards the palace where the princess lives and looked y, and then blew up the tune of the Dragon Boat Festival day when he saw the princess. He blew, and looked at the palace door from time to time, how he hoped that the princess could suddenly come out in the palace door at this time ah! But when the tune was finished, the princess never showed herself, and he could not help being a little disappointed. But when the playing was over, the king announced that the rest of the pipers would go back, leaving him alone.

After that, the young man had to come to the palace once a day to play for the princess. However, he could only be outside the palace, and could not approach the princess's residence, let alone go to the palace. A few months passed, he did not even see the shadow of the princess. As the days grew, he simply went mad.

On this day, after he had finished playing, he was about to leave, when suddenly a courtesan came out of the palace, holding a golden plate with a red apple in it. She came to the lad and said, "The princess commanded that she was cured, and because you worked too hard, she rewarded you with this apple, and you need not come back to play in the future." After saying this, he gave him a wink and pointed to the apple with his finger.

When the young man heard that the princess had told him to go home, it was as if a thunderbolt had rung in his head, and he did not speak for a long time. He stood there frozen until the courtesan urged him to take the apple and then snapped out of it. He hadn't expected things to end this way. His heart was broken. However, seeing the courtesan to speak to their own kind of demeanor, he and some do not believe, just opened his mouth to ask, panicked the courtesan shook his head and waved his hand to imply that not to allow him to speak. Helpless, he had to take the apple. The courtesan then scrambled away. He took the apple sullenly back to the residence, the heart how can not solve this mystery. If the princess has no feelings, how can she try to let me enter the palace? If there is affection, why has she refused to see me even once for so many days? That courtesan's expression and what does it mean? He turned over and over and couldn't make sense of it. Ahem, whatever, this apple is from the princess, I'll eat it first. He used a knife to cut the apple in half, unexpectedly, when the apple was cut, inside actually rolled out a bean grain large mass of plain silk. He opened it and looked at it. After reading it, I was so happy that my heart almost popped out, and I hurriedly packed up my clothes and left the capital overnight to go home.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming again, the day of the festival, the Princess came to the Royal Garden. This time, she ordered in advance in the garden against the wall of the tree chained swing. Tour of the garden, she did not bring a courtesan, came to the garden alone. Not long, outside the wall came familiar flute sound, the princess heard, the heart of great joy, immediately mounted the swing swing up. She swung and swung and swung, and finally swung and the wall of the same height. Close to the wall, she followed the swing up the strength of the swing up a leap on the wall, where the wall has been built on a soft ladder, the princess slipped down the ladder, the young man has been waiting outside the wall, just when the princess was about to land, he went up to the princess into the pre-prepared sedan chair, and then hit the horse and ran out of the city.

It turns out that all of this was arranged by the princess. Since the young man was called to the palace, how she wanted to run out of the palace to meet with him to pour out their love and affection ah! But she can't, she knows her father's temper, this will only give away the lad's life, and finally came up with this solution.

And then, in the king's palace, the maids saw the princess to the garden to play never returned to the palace, so they went to the garden to look for, but where is there? The ladies panicked, one side let people fly to report to the king and queen, one side in the garden to call looking for. The king and queen were also anxious when they heard the news. They came to the garden, only to see the swing hanging from the tree gently swinging in the wind, but the princess was gone, when they found a soft ladder built outside the wall, only to realize that the princess had left the palace.

The king was furious and anxious, and ordered a nationwide search to catch the madman who dared to seduce the princess. After months of searching, he couldn't even find the princess. It turns out that the young man and the princess escaped from the capital and went straight to Changbai Mountain.

The princess and the young man came to the Changbai Mountain, built a thatched cottage, reclaimed land, living a happy life, in order to celebrate and commemorate their meeting and union, every Dragon Boat Festival day, the princess will be in front of the door of the big tree fork hung on the swing, the young man played the flute, the princess is in the joy of the flute swings to swing. Later, in order to honor the beautiful, intelligent and kind princess, every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, the Korean women would have a swing competition. This custom has continued until today.
