Short folk stories 1

There are two mountains in northern tengxian, one is an isolated mountain and the other is a floating mountain. The two mountains are far apart, like a pair of lovers telling something. It turned out that they told such a touching story:

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there lived a blind old mother and her only daughter, Ying Gu, at the foot of the lonely mountain. Yinggu has watery eyes, a thin waist, red lips and silver teeth, black eyebrows and blue hair. Ying Gu is not only better than Si Jun, but also kind-hearted. In the mountains and beyond, everyone praised Ying Gu for her kindness and good looks. How many young people are hanging around Yinggu all day? During the day, Yinggu went up the mountain to dig firewood, and at night, she spun and woven under the lamp. They are dependent on each other. Yinggu is eighteen years old and hasn't found her husband's family yet. It's not that my aunt's mind is high, but that I'm old and blind and need someone to take care of me. Secondly, Ying Gu has fallen in love with someone, that is, the simple husband who lives in the mountains. Hanfu is also a strong and kind young man. Every morning, one goes up the mountain to dig firewood, and the other goes down the mountain to help plow the fields. One to two, the two hit it off and settled for life. The blind mother is also very happy and is going to marry them on Tanabata this year.

There are unexpected events in the sky. One day, Ying Gu was washing clothes by the stream, but she was caught by the county magistrate who came here to inspect. This official is over 50 years old. He has two wives and three concubines at home, but he still makes love outside. He is a famous villain and goat. This time, when he saw Ying Gu was young and beautiful, he wanted to rob her. Yinggu would rather die than follow, and the county magistrate became angry from embarrassment. One night when he couldn't see his fingers, he sent someone to rob her and kill the old mammy. A crying and noisy aunt will never give in to death. She is thinking about her husband and crying about her mother, just looking for a chance to escape from this tiger's mouth. Later, with the help of the old man, he escaped from the yamen. The magistrate was so angry that he took people to the lonely mountain. Seeing that she was about to be caught up, Ying Gu jumped out of the mountain stream. Hanfu got the letter, went to the place where Ying Gu jumped off the cliff, cried for a day and a night, climbed the hills on both sides and jumped off the cliff from above.

Ying Gu and Han Fu died, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain were very sad, so a temple was built for them in the middle of these two mountains. From then on, the mountain where Yinggu jumped off the cliff was called "isolated mountain", and the mountain where Hanfu jumped off the cliff was called "floating mountain".

Short folktales II

A long time ago, there lived more than a dozen families at the foot of Longshan. There is an old man named Youbo who likes playing chess very much. He has two daughters and a son, named Youyun, who is not married. The family is diligent and thrifty, and they live a good life.

This summer, Uber went to the mountains to repair trees. Because the weather is hot and dry for a short time, I am sweaty, thirsty, tired and hungry. I want to have a rest on the big locust tree in the southwest. When I got under the tree, I saw two white-haired old men playing chess there, with a teapot and two bowls beside them, so I went to have a look.

Because I often play chess with others at home, I am very familiar with chess, so I can't help talking to two old people and sometimes pointing fingers. Two white-haired old people were also very enthusiastic about him and let Uber drink a bowl of tea. After Uber finished drinking a bowl of tea, he only felt a faint fragrance rising from his stomach. What is hot, tired and hungry? Don't mention the lightness of being all over. After a while, I stood in front of the stone stage where two old people were playing chess, and vaguely felt that the clouds on the hillside were black and white, thick and talking; In the field below the mountain, it turns yellow and green. When he went to sleep, the two old people had not finished playing chess. The more I read, the more I read, and finally I couldn't understand chess. Thinking that my son Youyun will go to Jining House tomorrow, I said hello to two old people and hurried down the mountain.

As soon as Uber arrived at the foot of the mountain, he felt that the road was getting worse and worse, which was different from the original. He doesn't know anyone from other places, and nobody knows him. According to my own impression, I found my own village, but the village is much bigger and more crowded than yesterday. The village is looking for its home from south to north and from west to east, but it can't be found. At this moment, an old man with a white beard came along. He greeted the old man and asked his name, age and why he lived here. The old man told him that his surname is You and he has lived in this village for generations. Today, he is 93 years old. Uber asked the old man again: Where did your cloud go? The old man told him that Youyun was his master. The old man was surprised and asked Uber, "How do you know my master?" Uber didn't answer, so he went up the hill. He wanted to ask two old chess players what was going on.

Uber came to the mountain and searched the whole mountain, but he couldn't find the two old people playing chess and the big locust tree. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt: his wife left, his son left, no one in the world was close to him, and no one he knew. He couldn't help crying where he used to play chess. He cried from darkness to dawn, and from dawn to darkness. I don't know how many days he cried. The falling tears pierced the rock at the foot and formed a cave. When Uber was tired of crying, he fell asleep. When he was asleep, he heard an old man patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Don't cry, disciple. If your tears don't flow to the East China Sea, they will become the sea. When watching chess, there are many clouds, black rain, white snow, thick clouds and strong winds. The fields are yellow and green, which change all the year round. This is your knife. Go down the mountain and do something good for the world! " He suddenly woke up with nothing. Looking around, I found his knife. Although it is original, it shines with golden light and is extremely sharp.

Uber followed the old man's orders and went down the mountain. He lived in Longshan for many years, did many good deeds, got rid of hegemony and got peace. Later, the Jade Emperor recalled him to heaven. In memory of him, people call this tearful cave "Old Friend Cave".

Deep in the forest, there is a family, with their sisters Lila and Lily and their elderly grandmother.

Lilacs are naturally lively and active. Every day, she goes to the Woods to pick some vegetables and fruits as food, and also picks a basket of flowers to plant in the garden. Of course, there are lilacs and pink lilies. Lily is not like her sister. She is quiet and doesn't like noise. But every day, she keeps her house in order and clean, and she never forgets to water the flowers in the garden. Grandma who can cook a good dish will change the flowers in the vase regularly. Although the family's life is not rich, it is enjoyable.

One day, two sisters were eating fruit in the living room when they suddenly heard a loud cry: "Help, let me go!" " "Lilac opened the curtain and saw a girl the size of a butterfly surrounded by a large flock of birds, unable to get away. The bird threw her into the air, pecked her shoulder and pulled her hair in a mess. Lilac felt wronged for the girl and pushed open the door and ran to that place. Lily followed with a stick. Qi Xin flew all the birds around him and flew back to the sky. Lily carefully picked up the frightened girl, put her on the bed and covered her with a small blanket to warm her up.

After careful nursing, the little girl finally woke up Grandma saw it and quickly took out the freshly baked bread and put it in front of her. The little girl saw it and wolfed it down. Grandma asked with concern, "What's your name? How did it fall into the hands of those birds? " When the little girl heard this, she cried sadly: "I used to be a flower fairy and lived in a peony flower, but the peony was pecked by those birds." I couldn't find a hiding place, so they caught me. Lily said to the flower fairy, "You can live in our house and we will take care of you." . There is nothing else at home, just spending a lot of money. "Flower fairy nodded, a bright smile. From then on, the flower fairy lived happily with them.

But one day, the flower fairy disappeared, which made everyone very anxious. Lilac found a note on the table, which read: grandma, sister, I'm leaving you, I don't belong to this world, I still want to go back. Nothing can repay you. I will give you a calendar. Just tear off a page and say your wish, and it will come true. Sorry, I have to go.

The family saw the magical calendar, but no one used it. Holding it, you seem to see the flower fairy.

According to the old people, there was a phoenix in ancient times. This is a beautiful and clever bird, but who has seen it?

Actually, someone has seen it. It was recorded in history books as early as 2000 years ago. Zhao Diji before the Han Dynasty: "In three years ... in winter and October, the phoenix gathered in the East China Sea and the envoys worshipped it." . That is to say, in the third year of Zhao Di's reign, that is, in the winter of 84 BC, many phoenixes gathered in the mountains along the East China Sea coast. The emperor thought it was a great omen and sent a special envoy to the seaside to offer sacrifices.

Legend has it that the hometown of Phoenix is in Huangwo Mountain, Yuntai Mountain, Lianyungang, on the coast of the East China Sea. Historically, the place names and mountain names here used to be called Huangwo and Huangwoshan, and there are many love stories among the people, which are both true and illusory, magical and touching. This further confirms that Huangwo Mountain in Lianyungang is the habitat of Phoenix.

Phoenix has been people's totem worship since ancient times, and it is said that it has become a god bird and spread like wildfire. Phoenix is a kind of bird, which is highly integrated with the characteristics of birds from personality to modeling. Birds respect, support, love and fear Phoenix like people treat their brothers. People also endowed her with wisdom, lofty thoughts and excellent qualities. She is an important branch of China traditional culture. She plays a sacred role in the folk culture of China, which integrates morality, righteousness, courtesy, benevolence and faith. She carries profound cultural sustenance, is a symbol of world peace and happiness, a symbol of pure love and happy marriage, and a beautiful mascot of the world. Lianyungang people are proud of Phoenix Nest and Phoenix. Lianyungang is also famous for its phoenix nest and phoenix.

I have long heard of the name of Huangwoshan and read Zhang's book in the early years of the Republic of China. "The yellow nest is like a paradise, enjoying the moon and flowers and chanting." After the poem, I often go to Huangwo Mountain to appreciate its mountain and sea scenery, especially the beautiful and moving legend of dragons and phoenixes, which adds to the interest of seeking secrets and exploring secluded places. This year's Dragon Boat Festival, I was invited to participate in the seminar of classical literature creation of China Chinese Writers Association, and gathered with writers at home and abroad in Gaogong Island Scenic Area to collect opinions.

It is not the intention of the writers to visit Huangwo Mountain. They are most interested in finding the legend of dragons and phoenixes, and they want to see the charming face of Wei Yun, the impatiens. We climbed the 108 "wind-worship ladder" and finally saw the breathless "Qifeng Pavilion", which is the legendary place where the phoenix lives. Not far from here stands a bronze phoenix statue, which is the phoenix fairy Wei Yun worshipped by people. This place is called "Feng Danchao Balcony", where Wei Yun, the Phoenix Fairy, overlooks her lover and wonderful minister. According to legend, after Prince Chen Miao of Yulong returned to the sea, Wei Yunsi longed to fly here, looking forward to the sea, waiting for the sunrise and starry night, hoping to meet his sweetheart in the next rainy season one day.

In order to explore the love story of dragons and phoenixes, writers who study classical literature specially went to the "Three Tans Flying Snow" in Huangwoshan Scenic Area, from which the love story of dragons and phoenixes came. It is located in the middle reaches of Longtan River. The legendary Jade Dragon Prince Chen Miao came from the East China Sea along Longtan Cave to meet the phoenix fairy Wei Yun. According to legend, Chen Miao, the son of Ao Guang, the dragon king of the East China Sea, was magnificent and clever. When he was playing by the sea, he happened to see Wei Yun, the phoenix fairy in Wen Ya, on the cliff. He was deeply attracted by his natural charm and beauty, and she stared at him affectionately. However, we can't meet in Shanghai in the sky. Wei Yun stubbornly flew over Qian Shan, looking for branches and plants, and built a dam in a high valley to store water and flow. Where there is a will, there is a way. Another rainy season has come, and the sky is vast, and the rushing water forms a curve in the valley.

The river flows into the sea. Chen Miao looked at the raging river, very excited, and swam downstream. Michelle ChenMiao, who went up the mountain for the first time, longed to see Wei Yun in the first pool of Dajian, but he couldn't see him. There are only a few frogs behind him, as the saying goes, "The birds in the forest are quieter and the cicadas are more secluded." Michelle ChenMiao hurried to the second pool "Little Flower Shoes". He saw a girl crying, and heard that the laundry washed away the "little flower shoes" carelessly, so he swam to the seaside and found the "little flower shoes" for her. The girl showed deep love, but Michelle ChenMiao thought of Wei Yun and resolutely refused. Just then, the girl became Wei Yun, and Chen Miao was ecstatic. It turns out that this girl is testing Michelle ChenMiao. Later, this place was called "Little Flower Shoes". Chen Miao and Wei Yun, who got married here, are happy, holding hands to embrace the third pool "Yulongtan". Here, flying flowers splash snow, mist soaks clothes, and the scenery is particularly good. It is a place where dragons and phoenixes often play. "Three pools of flying snow" is a scenic spot. These rocks are in strange shapes. The river is rushing, splashing waves such as jade, pearls and snow. In the early Republic of China, local poets left cliff stone carvings here. Zhang Yue: "The mountains are painted, and the snow in Longtan is all over the dragon ..." Zhang Yue: "To love the fairy source and the water, Longtan is quiet and cool in the afternoon ... The sound of the spring is powerful, which is helpful for wave stability and navigation."

"The water is not deep, the dragon is the spirit, the mountain is not high, and the fairy is named." . Huangwoshan is the place where Phoenix once lived, and it is a paradise where dragons and phoenixes come together. Wang, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, said, "Penglai is not far away, so why visit the Three Peaks?" I think Range Rover Penglai can only make people sigh, and the charming fairyland and magical legend of Huangwo Mountain are so quiet, elegant and beautiful that they can really compete with Penglai, the abbot and Yingzhou Mountain.

A long time ago, there lived a farmer named A Niu near the Grand Canal. A Niu's family is very poor. He lost his father at the age of seven and lived on his mother's textiles. A Niu's mother lost her husband when she was very young, and her life was very difficult. She often cries and her eyes are broken.

A Niu lived to be 13 years old. He said to his mother, "mom, your eyes are not good." Don't spin and weave day and night in the future. I have grown up, I can support you! " So I went to Zhang's rich man's house to do small long-term work, and both mother and son came through thick and thin. Two years later, my mother's eye disease became more and more serious and she soon became blind. A Niu thought that my mother's eyes were blind to me, and she should be cured anyway. While working for the rich man, I grow vegetables in the dark in the morning and sell vegetables to earn some money to buy medicine for my mother. I don't know how much medicine I took, but my mother's eye disease is still not getting better.

One night, A Niu had a dream that a beautiful girl came to help him grow vegetables and told him, "There is a smallpox swing dozens of miles west along the canal. There is a white chrysanthemum in the swing, which can cure eye diseases. This kind of flower won't bloom until the Double Ninth Festival in September. When the time comes, you can give this flower to your mother, which will definitely cure her eye disease. " On the Double Ninth Festival, A Niu took dry food to the ceiling to find white chrysanthemums. It turns out that this is a wild field full of weeds, called wild field. He searched there for a long time, but only Huang Juhua couldn't find the white chrysanthemum. He found a white wild chrysanthemum beside a small mound in the grass, which kept swinging on the grass until the afternoon. This kind of white chrysanthemum is very special, with nine branches in one stem. There is only one bloom, and the other eight are in bud. A Niu dug up this white chrysanthemum with roots and soil and planted it next to his house. After his watering and care, eight flowers soon opened, fragrant and beautiful. So he picks a chrysanthemum and gives it to his mother every day. After eating the seventh chrysanthemum, A Niu's mother's eyes began to see again.

The news that white chrysanthemum can cure eye diseases spread quickly, and villagers came to watch this unusual wild chrysanthemum one after another. The news also reached the wealthy Zhang Man. Rich Zhang Man called A Niu and ordered him to transplant chrysanthemums into the Zhangjia Garden at once. A Niu certainly won't. Rich Zhang Man sent several people to A Niu's house to rob the white chrysanthemums. Because of the competition between the two sides, the chrysanthemum was broken, and they just left. A Niu was very sad when he saw that the white chrysanthemum which cured his mother's eye disease was raped. He sat beside the broken white chrysanthemum and cried till dark, and refused to leave until late at night. After midnight, his hazy tears suddenly lit up, and the beautiful girl he dreamed of last time suddenly came to his side. The girl advised him, "A Niu, your filial piety has been rewarded. Don't be sad, go back to sleep! " A Niu said, "This chrysanthemum saved my family. How can I live if it is dead? " The girl said, "Although the stem of this chrysanthemum is broken, the root is still there. She's not dead. All you have to do is dig out the roots and transplant them to other places, and the white chrysanthemums will grow. " A Niu asked, "Girl, who are you? Please tell me, I am so grateful to you. " The girl said, "I am the chrysanthemum fairy in the sky, and I am here to help you." I don't need to repay you. As long as you follow a "Chrysanthemum Ballad", white chrysanthemums will surely grow alive. " Then Juxian read: "Three points and four heads, watering in May, throwing materials in June, covering the head in July and August, and rolling hydrangeas in September." It disappeared after reading it.

A Niu went back to the house to read Ju Xian's "Chrysanthemum Ballad" carefully, and finally realized its meaning: planting chrysanthemums requires transplanting in March, pinching flowers in April, watering more in May, fertilizing frequently in June, protecting roots in July and August, and hydrangea-shaped chrysanthemums can only bloom in September. A Niu did it according to the instructions of Chrysanthemum Fairy. Later, many branches grew on the old roots of chrysanthemum. He cut off these branches to make cuttings, and then cultivated them according to the saying of "planting chrysanthemums" On the ninth double ninth festival in September of the following year, white chrysanthemums were in full bloom and the fragrance was overflowing. Later, A Niu taught the poor in the village the skills of planting chrysanthemums, and more and more people planted white chrysanthemums in this area. Because A Niu discovered this white chrysanthemum on the ninth day of September, people later called it Chrysanthemum Festival, and formed the custom of enjoying chrysanthemum, eating chrysanthemum tea and drinking chrysanthemum wine.
