Overview of folk stories

People know the past by imagination and hope for the future by imagination. A system composed of myths and legends is painting an imaginary picture. The following are my carefully collected folklore stories. Let me share them with you and enjoy them.

Folk stories 1

Nu Wa worked hard to mend the sky and the land, and the disaster subsided and human beings were reborn. The earth is thriving, with spring, summer, autumn and winter passing by in turn, and the weather changes with the seasons. The evil birds and beasts in the world have died one after another, and the rest have changed their temperament, become very docile and become friends of mankind.

People have plenty of food and clothing and live a carefree and happy life. People put the food they can't eat in the ground, not in the warehouse, because everyone has it and no one will take it away from others. Newborn babies, people simply put them in the nest of big birds in the tree. Children play with birds and sleep in the nest. Trees sway in the wind like a natural cradle. Tiger and leopard don't hurt people, and children can play with their tails at will. Even when people step on a python, it just turns over and won't be angry with people's behavior at all. It was really the "golden age" of mankind at that time.

Nu Wa is very pleased to see that the human life she created is so beautiful. In order to make mankind happier, she also made a musical instrument called Lusheng. This lusheng can make a beautiful sound when it blows. Shaped like a phoenix tail, a half gourd is inserted into thirteen tubes. Nu Wa gave the Lusheng to the children. As soon as the children play it, they can't help dancing to the rhythm of the music. With Lusheng, human life has become happier.

Nu Wa's Lusheng is still playing today. Among many ethnic minorities in southwest China, this lusheng is closely related to the pure love of young men and women. Every spring, when peach blossoms are in full bloom, people will come to the flat land on a cloudless night. Young girls and boys dressed in festive costumes, blowing melodious reeds, forming a circle, singing and dancing. They either dance with each other, or the man plays lusheng in front and the woman follows with a bell. When they hit it off, they became the closest people.

When Nu Wa saw that human beings lived and worked in peace and contentment, she suddenly felt tired and needed a rest. So, she boarded the thunder car, drove the dragon, let Bai Chi lead the way, and let Longteng follow. The yellowbird surrounded her car, and the gods of heaven and earth surrounded her car and escorted him to heaven.

Nu Wa was very happy at this moment. She recalled what she had done: created human beings with yellow mud, brought vitality to the earth, and made herself no longer lonely. She went through all kinds of hardships to repair the sky, fill the land, kill the black dragon and collect floods ... In her memory, she rode a cloud in Lapras and unconsciously rose to the top of nine days. I went into Tianmen, came to heaven and reported my work to heaven.

Since then, Nu Wa has lived in heaven! She leads a quiet life like a hermit. She never takes credit, much less shows off her achievements. She attributed all this to nature, and she felt that she had only done a trivial thing for mankind according to the will of nature.

Folk tales 2

Dayu, his name is Wen Ming. Yu's father is Kun, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. He is the most famous hero of water control in ancient China.

When Yao was still alive, the floods in the Central Plains flooded endlessly, flooded crops, covered mountains and plains, displaced people's houses, and many people had to leave their homes. The flood has brought endless disasters to people. In this case, Yao was determined to eliminate the flood, so he began to visit people who could control the flood.

One day, he found the ministers around him and said to them, "Ministers, the flood is at the forefront now, and the people have suffered a lot. It is necessary to control this flood. Who do you think will bear this heavy responsibility? "

So the prince and the leader of the tribe recommended guns. Yao always thought Gun was not credible, but there was no more suitable candidate at the moment, so he entrusted Gun with the task of water control temporarily.

Gun water control for nine years, the flood has not subsided, gun not only can't do anything, but also lazy, taking this arduous task of the country as a joke. Later, Shun began to manage state affairs, and the first problem he encountered was water control. He first dismissed Gun and exiled him to Yushan, where Gun later died.

Shun also came to consult ministers to see who could cure the water. Ministers recommended Yu. The generals said, "Although Yu is the son of a gun, he is more virtuous than his father. This man is humble, courteous, conscientious and lives a very simple life. " Shun didn't despise Gun because he was his son, but quickly gave him the great task of water control.

Dayu is really a moral man. He was not jealous because Shun punished his father, but gladly accepted the task. He secretly made up his mind: "My father brought suffering to the people because he didn't cure the water. I will definitely try again. "

But he knows what a responsibility it is! How dare he be lazy? Considering this special task, Shun sent two wise ministers, Boyi and Hou Ji, to assist him in his work.

Dayu had just been married for four days at that time. His wife Tu Shanshi is a virtuous woman, and she agreed to her husband's going. Dayu tearfully bid farewell to his beloved wife and embarked on a journey.

Yu led Boyi, Hou Ji and a helper, traveled across mountains and rivers, camped out, traveled all over the Central Plains at that time, and left their footprints in remote and inaccessible places. Dayu felt that his father had not completed the great cause of water control, leaving an empty regret, but in his hands, this task must be completed. Along the way, he saw countless people struggling in the flood, and he cried again and again in front of those displaced people. When it comes to water control, acquaintances and strangers will offer him the most precious things. Of course he won't accept these things, but he feels that the people's affection is too strong, which also doubles his determination and confidence.

Dayu has a yardstick in his left hand and a ruler in his right, and he has to measure everywhere he goes. He learned from his father's lesson of intercepting legal water and invented a new hydrophobic method, the main point of which is to dredge the waterway and make the water flow smoothly eastward into the sea. Every time Dayu found a place that needed to be governed, he went to various tribes to mobilize the masses to build it. Whenever the water conservancy project starts, he works with the people, eats at the construction site, sleeps at the construction site, digs rocks and works hard at Dai Yuexin.

He lived a simple life, lived in a short thatched cottage and ate worse than ordinary people. However, he is most willing to spend money on water conservancy projects. Whenever water control is short of money, he will fight for it himself.

He didn't come into the house three times. Once he passed by his house and heard a child crying. That's his wife Tu Shanshi, who just gave birth to a son. How much he wants to go back and see his wife and children. But at the thought of the arduous task of water control, he had to give a big gift to his cabin at home. With tears in his eyes, he galloped away.

According to the geographical conditions of mountains and rivers, Dayu divided China into Kyushu, namely Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou and Jingzhou. His method of harnessing water is to treat all the mountains and rivers in China as a whole. He first dealt with the land in Kyushu, dredging and leveling it, and turning a large number of places into fertile fields.

Then he managed the mountains, including Qishan, Jingshan, Lei Shou, Taiyue Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Wangwo Mountain, Changshan Mountain, Zhuzi Mountain, Jieshi Mountain, Taihua Mountain and Dabie Mountain. In order to dredge the waterway and let the water flow down the river without blocking the waterway. After the regulation of mountain roads, he began to regulate water veins, and most rivers north of the Yangtze River left traces of his regulation.

Water control pays attention to wisdom, such as Longmen Mountain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. Longmen Mountain is in the north of Liangshan. Dayu diverted water from the Yellow River to Jishi Mountain in Gansu. When the water was diverted to Liangshan, it was blocked by Longmen Mountain, and it was impossible to pass. Dayu inspected the terrain and thought that this place had to be dug, but what about a Longmen Mountain in Nuoda? Dayu chose the most labor-saving place, and only opened a hole 80 steps wide to bring the water over. Because the Longmen is too high, many fish swimming against the current cannot swim here. Many fish jumped up desperately, but only a few fish could jump over. This is what our descendants call "carp yue longmen". It is said that as long as they can jump over the dragon gate, the fish will immediately become dragons and fly in the air.

Dayu used 13 years to control water. It was under his hand that the roaring river lost its fierceness in the past, tamed and gently flowed eastward, revealing the mountains that were flooded in the past, and the farmland became a rice granary, so that people could build houses and live a happy and prosperous life.

Later generations remembered his achievements, built temples and temples for him, and honored him as "Yu God". Our whole China is also called "Yu", which means that this is the place where Dayu once ruled.

Folk tales 3

I love Apollo, the eldest son of Zeus. Finally, one day Apollo finally couldn't hold back his love for the goddess laurel and pursued her.

But because Apollo itself is the sun god, his body gathered a lot of heat energy, which made laurel unbearable. So every time Apollo chased laurel, she would hide. In this way, chasing and hiding, Laurel finally can't stand it. She shouted for help.

Her father, Lynn, the river god, couldn't bear his daughter to suffer so much, so he opened a big crack in the ground. The laurel tree jumped into a big tree and grew out of the crack.

From then on, this tree was called laurel.

For some reason, Apollo thought that laurel would rather be a tree than be with him. It was not until one day that he suddenly realized that laurel had become a big tree because he was too hot. Apollo vowed to leave a cover for laurel forever. That is the sunspot we know now, the eternal cover left in the heart of the sun god, the cover he left for laurel.

Folk story 4

At the front door of chengde mountain resort, there is a magical red luminous wall. It is said that people stamp their feet in front of the wall and then stick their ears to the wall, and they can hear the sound of "Ji Ji" inside the wall. When it is quiet in the morning and evening, the crying is more vivid, and you can hear it every ten steps. Why is there a rooster crowing on the red photo wall? The locals say this is the golden rooster of Jiguan Mountain.

Jiguan Mountain, 20 kilometers southeast of the summer resort, looks like a golden rooster from a distance. On the top of the mountain, five thick red rock pillars lined up, forming the majestic posture of a cockscomb.

Speaking of Jiguan Mountain, it has a magical legend:

More than 200 years ago, there lived an old man at the foot of Jiguan Mountain. Every night, he heard chickens chirping on the back hill, but no chickens appeared during the day.

The old man felt very strange. One night, in the bright moonlight, he groped along with the sound of chickens crowing. Suddenly, in front of a small cave, he found Huang Cancan's old hen, who was leading a group of golden chicks to look for food happily.

The old man was very happy to see these lovely chickens. He didn't disturb them, but scattered the saved millet in front of the hole for the chickens to eat every day.

Over time, these chickens became friends with the old man.

One day, a guest came and lived in the old man's house. Just then, the court issued an order to the people to go to Jehol to build a palace for the emperor. Before leaving, the old man entrusted the chicken feeding to the guests and told them not to disturb them.

Who knows this guest is an insatiable villain. When he delivered rice to chickens, he found that these chickens were not ordinary chickens, but a group of golden roosters. When he saw the profit, he became greedy and forgot all the old man's words.

One night, he secretly hid near the cave. Just as the hen led the chick out of the hole to find food, it jumped on the old hen. Surprised, the chicken ran back to the cave. Only the hen didn't have time to go back to the cave, so she ran to the red screen wall in front of Li Zheng in Jehol Palace. The old man is building a wall to cover the wall. Suddenly, he saw the hen flying around in panic. He knew that something unfortunate must have happened to it and immediately protected the old hen.

Since then, the golden rooster has been singing in the red photo wall, echoing the sound of the old people building walls, carving bricks and hitting stones.

Nowadays, many domestic and foreign tourists always want to hear the golden rooster in the photo of the red wall when visiting the summer resort. Like the echo wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, it adds a mysterious color to this detached palace.

As for the cave in Jiguan Mountain, people call it "Golden Chicken Nest". In the valley on the south side and northeast side of Jiguan Mountain, there is a reddish stone pillar more than 60 meters high. They say it's chicken legs. Huge body, bright red comb, two solid and straight chicken legs, the image of golden rooster is vividly displayed in front of people.

Whenever the bright moon shines high, the shadow of Jiguan Mountain will be clearly reflected in the fields of the villa 20 miles below the mountain, thus forming a magnificent picture of "thousands of feet with a comb hanging on the moon", which gives people a wonderful imagination.

Folk tales 5

Legend has it that there is a Vega and an Altair in the sky. Weaver Girl and Penny are kindred spirits, and they have a heart in mind. But it is forbidden for men and women to fall in love and fall in love privately. The Weaver Girl is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother demoted Penny to the world and made the Weaver Girl Brocade as a punishment.

Weaver's job is to weave layers of beautiful clouds on the loom with a magical silk, and change their colors with time and season. This is the "heavenly clothes". Ever since Penny was demoted, Weaver Girl has been in Lacrimosa, thinking about Penny with a frown. She sat by the loom and kept knitting beautiful brocade, in order to win the favor of the queen mother and let Penny return to heaven as soon as possible.

One day, several fairies begged the Queen Mother to see the Lian Bi Pool on earth. The queen mother was in a good mood today and promised them. Seeing that the Weaver Girl was unhappy all day, they begged the Queen Mother to let the Weaver Girl go with them. After the punishment, the heavenly queen felt sorry for her granddaughter and told them to go and come back quickly.

After being demoted, Penny was born in a farmer's home and named Cowherd. Later, when his parents died, he lived with his brother and sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is very unkind to Cowherd and wants to separate from him. They only gave him an old cow and a broken car, and the rest were monopolized by their brother and sister-in-law, and then they separated from the cowherd.

Since then, the cowherd and the old cow have lived together. They cut thorns, cultivated land and built houses in the wasteland. A year or two later, they built a small home, barely making ends meet. However, except for the old cow who can't talk, Cowherd is the only one in the deserted home, and life is quite lonely. The cowherd doesn't know that the old cow is the Taurus in the sky.

On this day, the old cow suddenly spoke and said to the cowherd, "Cowherd, today you go to Bilianchi, where some fairies are taking a bath." You hide that red fairy costume, and the fairy in the red fairy costume will become your wife. " Cowherd was surprised and happy when he saw the old cow talking, so he asked, "Niu Ge, can you really talk?" Is it true what you said? "The old cow nodded, and the cowherd quietly hid in the reeds beside Bilianchi, waiting for the arrival of the fairies.

After a while, the fairies really floated in, took off their light clothes and jumped into the clear stream. The cowherd ran out of the reeds and took the red fairy's clothes. When fairies saw someone coming, they quickly put on their clothes and flew away like birds, leaving only fairies who could not escape without clothes. She is a weaver girl. Seeing that her fairy clothes were taken away by a young man, the weaver girl was ashamed and anxious, but she was helpless. At this moment, Cowherd came over and told her that he could not return her clothes unless she promised to be his wife. The weaver girl looked intently and realized that the cowherd was the cow she missed day and night, so she shyly agreed to him. In this way, the Weaver Girl became the wife of the Cowherd.

After they got married, they worked hard, loved each other and lived a very happy life. Soon, they gave birth to a son and a daughter, very cute. Cowherd and Weaver Girl thought they could be together for life and grow old together.

However, when the Queen Mother learned of this incident, she flew into a rage and immediately sent a fairy to catch the Weaver Girl and make amends.

On this day, the weaver girl was cooking, and the cowherd hurried back from the fields. His eyes were red and swollen, and he told Weaver, "Niu Ge is dead. Before he died, he asked me to peel off his cowhide and put it away. One day, I can wear it and fly to the sky. " Hearing this, the Weaver Girl wondered. She knew that the old cow was the golden bull in the sky, and she was demoted to heaven just because she said a few good words for the demoted morning cow. How can you suddenly die? The weaver girl asked the cowherd to peel off the cowhide and bury the old cow.

At this time, the sky is stormy, and the heavenly soldiers will fall from the sky. It is hard to say that it is escorting the Weaver Girl to the sky.

Flying, flying, Weaver Girl heard the voice of Cowherd: "Weaver Girl, wait for me!" " "Looking back, the Weaver Girl saw the Cowherd coming with a pair of baskets and two cowhide children. Slowly, the distance between them is getting closer and closer, and the weaver girl can also see the lovely faces of her children. The children opened their arms and shouted "Mom". Seeing, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are about to meet. But at this moment, the queen mother came in with Xiangyun. She took off the golden hairpin on her head and rowed it among them. At the moment, a Tianhe wave is caught between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd and cannot be crossed.

The Weaver Girl looked at the Cowherd and his children across the Tianhe River and cried herself hoarse. Cowherd and children also cried their eyes out. Their cries and the children's cries for "mom" are so heart-wrenching and tearful that even the fairies and immortals watching the battle feel sad and unbearable. Seeing this, the Queen Mother was slightly moved by the faithful love of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and moved with compassion. She agreed to let the cowherd and the children stay in the sky and ordered the magpie to send a message every seven days for them to meet. I didn't expect the magpie to make a mistake, saying that they meet once a year on July 7, so the Queen Mother punished the magpie for matchmaking.

From then on, the Cowherd and his children lived in the sky, separated from the Weaver Girl by a Tianhe River. Among the stars in the autumn night sky, we can still see two big stars on both sides of the Milky Way. They are Vega and Altair. The Altair has two little stars, namely a son and a daughter of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

On July 7, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met, and countless groups of magpies flew to bridge the gap for them. On the Magpie Bridge, Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet again! The Weaver Cowherd is affectionate, hugging the children, and there are endless words and feelings!

Legend has it that on July 7th every year, if people listen quietly in the vines under the grape trellis, they can vaguely hear Yue Xian's performance, and the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd are talking affectionately. Really: I met her a long time ago, but it has been longer since we broke up! Every day, they look forward to their reunion on July 7 of the following year.
