Guiyang folk stories

There is an ancient bridge in Zhenyuan, which is a popular name. In fact, it is called Zhu Sheng Bridge, which was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. Speaking of this bridge, it has something to do with Zhang Sanfeng!

When repairing this bridge, I met a problem when I left the pier: the silt at the bottom of the river was too thick to dig to the end. Masons thought hard, but without a good plan, the project stopped for many days. Zhang Sanfeng saw it, but smiled and said; "The foothold has been dug like this, and it is ready. Just something is missing. " Zhang Sanfeng found a bamboo basket and bought a basket of tofu in the street. In the evening, he came to Qiaoji, sprinkled some tofu into each foot pit and muttered to himself.

The next day, everyone went to work and went to the construction site. When they saw the foundation pit, they were surprised! The bottom of the original mining foundation pit is a whole large bluestone, which is relatively stable. The pier is built on bluestone, so Zhenyuan people say that Zhu Sheng Bridge is the base of Zhang Sanfeng bean curd.

A few months later, the Zhu Sheng Bridge will be completed soon, and there is still a stone missing on both sides of the middle of the bridge deck. The bricklayer tried to hit a stone. When it grows up, shorten it and try again. It is too short. Repeatedly, it is short if it is not long, and it is long if it is not short. Masons are helpless, and thought of Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng came to the bridge, looked at it and said, "What's the difficulty? A few people, follow me to Tieshanxi to move two pieces of gravel and put them on. " A few people followed Zhang Sanfeng to Tieshan Creek, and Zhang Sanfeng chose a large triangular rock skull to carry to the bridge and settle in the gap, which was neither too long nor too short, just right. On the other hand, there is still a part missing. Zhang Sanfeng asked the man just now to go to Tieshan Creek again and carry the piece he chose. Soon, another rock skull was carried out and placed on the gap, just right. These two rock skulls are unfinished wool, and you can still see them when you go to Zhu Sheng Bridge.

At that time, the Zhenyuan magistrate was a corrupt official who plundered the wealth of the people and became a big fat man, which was hated by the people. When he built the Zhu Sheng Bridge, he embezzled some money. Now that the bridge is repaired, he wants to "step on the bridge" and show that he has "made achievements" in governing the place and shake the prestige of his master. The so-called stepping on the bridge is the completion of the new bridge. After the first person crosses the bridge, others can pass.

Knowing this, Zhang Sanfeng hurried to the bridge, only to find the magistrate staggering and putting on airs, ready to step on the bridge. He shouted, "Don't step on the bridge!" When the fat old man saw someone stop him, he roared, "How bold and unruly! Don't you dare stop him from stepping on the bridge, be careful of the stick! " Zhang Sanfeng stepped forward and replied, "Please calm down, sir, because a fairy will pass by soon. Please retreat to the rock ridge behind you for a while, and then ask the fairy to step on the bridge. " When Master Fat heard that the immortal was going to cross the road, he quickly climbed behind a rock ridge at the western end of the bridge and poked around to see where the immortal was. At this time, Zhang Sanfeng used his magic and said, "OK!" The county magistrate will never move again, and slowly becomes a stone. This stone has a head and a body. Fat and fat, and getting older. A large part of its body has sunk into the soil, and there are eyes and mouths on the exposed skull. I used to see locks of hair. Because of the sun and rain, my hair fell out, leaving only a bare skull. It is still on the rocky slope at the western end of Zhu Sheng Bridge.

The Story and Legend of Maotai Liquor

In the Millennium, there were only a dozen families in Maotai Village by Chishui River. A rich family with three big tile houses stands out at the height of the river. The rest are poor people, living in thatched cottages and distributed by the river. People who live here have the habit of making wine. But at that time, whether rich or poor, the technology of brewing was very common.

One year in the twelfth lunar month, an unusual snow fell in Maotai village, which has a mild climate all the year round. Snowflakes are flying, from night to dawn, from morning to dusk, without stopping. At this time, in the snowstorm, I saw a girl in rags, naked and barefoot, with a stick in her hand, coming down from the mountain and stumbling towards Maotai Village.

She went to the door of the rich man's house and saw several helpers busy baking wine in the wine room, so she stopped. "Brother baking wine, I feel cold all over. I need a drink to warm myself up and resist the cold. "

Seeing that she was as cold as chaff and her teeth were still gnawing, the helpers stopped their work and looked at her with pity. A helper conveniently picked up a pottery bowl, scooped a bowl of wine from the jar and handed it to her: "Leave after drinking, and the master will come at once."

What a coincidence. As soon as the girl picked up the bowl, the host came out of the room. With a straight face, he quickly grabbed the earthen bowl from the girl and poured the wine from the bowl into the jar. He said angrily, "get out and stop nagging here!" "

The girl gave him a contemptuous look and turned away without saying a word.

She walked along the stone road extending from the mountainside to the river and went straight to the hut. She stopped at the top of a thatched cottage. An old man with a white beard is making wine with a cigarette ring in the room. In front of the stove, an old woman is making a fire. The girl greeted: "Grandpa, you should be kind."

The old man looked up and saw a girl in rags standing at the door, pathetic. He said, "It's snowing outside. Come in!" "

When the girl entered the room, the old man took her to the stove, told his wife to turn up the fire, let the girl sit by the fire, entered the room by herself, poured out the rest of the wine, and handed it to the girl in a bowl: "Let's have a cup to warm up first!"

The girl did not refuse, took the wine and gulped it down, admiring it; "Good wine! Good wine! "

The old woman is going to fry rice for her by washing pots and dishes. The girl stood up, stopped quickly and made a gesture of leaving. The old man quickly said, "It's already dark, and it's very cold outside. Where are we going? "

The girl said, "If you don't have a home, you can go anywhere."

The old woman put down the brush handle in her hand, stepped forward and took the girl's hand and said, "We are all poor. What are you talking about? It happened that my daughter went to her uncle's house. Please stay in her room! " Said, and pulled the girl into her daughter's room.

After a while, the old woman also fell asleep. The old man with white beard continued to hoop wine. Hoop hoop, unconsciously in accordance with the wine zhen, groggy fell asleep. In a trance, he saw a fairy wearing a five-crested pearl crown, a gold-blind butterfly silk coat, a jade pleated skirt, a red gold necklace around her neck and two red ribbons on her shoulders, standing in the colorful glow. I saw her holding a luminous cup and sprinkling the nectar in the cup to Maotai Village. Suddenly, a clear stream appeared, pouring down the hillside and pouring into Chishui River. Suddenly, the luminous cup in the fairy's hand disappeared again with a stick in her hand. She paddled with a wooden stick in the stream between the three big tile houses and the hut of the rich man and disappeared. Immediately, a familiar voice sounded in the old man's ear: "Just use the water of this stream to make wine. Quick, there is water in the house! "

The old man with white beard was surprised and opened his eyes. It's already dawn. He hurried into his daughter's room, but the girl was gone and everything was the same. The gate is also well closed. At this time, his wife also got up: "Grandpa, do you feel strange?" Last night I dreamed of a fairy ... "

Without saying anything, the old man opened the door and saw the sunrise in Wan Li in the east and the red sun rising in Ran Ran, Ran Ran. A clear stream appeared near the village.

The old man excitedly picked up the ladle, lifted the bucket, scooped a bucket in the stream, and used this bucket of water to make wine. In a few days, the wine was brewed. It tastes good in color, smell and taste. It's really beautiful. The old man looked for all the poor companions. You tasted it, I tasted it, and everyone praised it again and again: "Good wine! Good wine! "

Since then, people in Maotai Village have used the water from this stream to make wine. Strangely, the quality of wine brewed by the rich is getting worse and worse. Like vinegar, the altar is sour and will soon decline. The quality of wine brewed by poor people is getting better and better; Clear and transparent, fragrant, mellow and sweet. At this time, the wine industry is booming, and many big businessmen come here to buy the wine here and sell it everywhere.

Later, in order to remember the "fairy", people in Maotai Village took the "fairy with a cup" as the registered trademark of Moutai, and specially tied two red ribbons on the bottleneck, symbolizing the two red ribbons worn by the fairy on her shoulders.

The Story of Xu Xiake in Guiyang

Xu Xiake, born in Jiangyin, South Zhili (now Jiangyin County, Jiangsu Province), was an outstanding traveler and geographer in Ming Dynasty.

In his later years, he made two trips to Guizhou, lasting 5 1 day and traveling 1 1,500 Li. He went through hardships, suffered from illness, lost food, was robbed of property, lost all the capital of Sichuan, and almost died, but he did not waver in his determination to move forward. I visited some areas of Dushan, Duyun, Majiang, Fuquan, Guiding, Longli, Guiyang, Changshun, Pingba, Anshun, Zhenning, Guanling, Qinglong, Pu 'an, Panxian and Xingyi, recorded what I saw and heard along the way, and wrote the Diary of a Journey to Guizhou. This not only left valuable resources for people to study karst landforms, but also provided important historical facts for us to understand the politics, economy and culture of Guizhou in the late Ming Dynasty.

Xu Xiake's trip to Guiyang was not smooth either. In the 11th year of Chongzhen (1638), it was already dark when he arrived at Longdongbao in Guiyang via Longli. He wanted to go to Longliguan to taste the poems written by his predecessors and go to the legendary emperor's residence, but the cave was so dark that even the word "Look at the Dragon Cave" written by Guo at the mouth of the cave was blurred. In order to hurry, he had to bite the bullet and leave. When we arrived at Jihongqiao (now called Nanming Bridge), it was past midnight. Nanming River gurgles, and Jiaxiulou not far away is clear and enchanting in the moonlight. However, Xu Xiake was already exhausted and couldn't look at Jiaxiulou at close range, so he had to find an inn on the edge of Nanmencheng.

The next day, when Xu Xiake woke up, the first thing he remembered was to go to Guiyang to buy "blue yarn". Xu Xiake promised his wife Xu Shi to buy one for her in his early years, but he never met her until Xu Shi died of illness. He wandered the streets of Guiyang, looking for blue yarn workshops everywhere. Xu Shi loved apricot flowers most during his lifetime. Unfortunately, there was no such pattern in the workshop, so he had to choose a kind of Chimonanthus praecox with a strange stone as the background instead.

Back at the inn, Xu Xiake asked the owner Wu Shen about the places of interest in Guiyang. It happened that Wu Shen went to the ancient Buddha cave (now the bitter Buddha cave in Ganling Park) to make a wish and invited Xu Xiake to go with him. Wu Shen bowed down to the ascetic Buddha, and the host and guest went north to see Kirin Cave along the narrow path traveled by tourists. The path was steep and slippery, and Xu Xiake's foot was disabled, so Wu Shensuo had to help him back to the store to rest.

Wu Shen introduced the history and scenic spots of Guiyang to Xu Xiake in detail, especially when Wu Shen talked about the next two years (1622). Anbang rebelled and personally led the troops to besiege Guiyang for ten months, which led to starvation and corpses everywhere in the city. Xu Xiake listened.

After living in Guiyang for three days, Xu Xiake left Wu Shen's office in a hurry, passing through Taiziqiao (now Taici Bridge), Jiaoyantang (now Ganyintang), Huage Old (now Huaxi) and Dumuling (now Tongmuling) and staying in Qingyatun (now Qingyan Town). After checking in, he forgot the fatigue of the journey and devoted himself to writing a diary, in which he wrote down what he saw and heard during his trip to Guiyang.

The origin of Huangguoshu

Legend has it that when Wu Sangui was defeated, he put eighteen loads of gold and silver into the rhinoceros pond. Since then, people have wanted these treasures.

A few years later, a family moved here for the first time, just an old couple. One day. A foreigner came to the rhinoceros pond and used his magic to see the wealth in the pond. However, he didn't know how to avoid the pond and get it, so he wandered around the pond for three days. One day, he suddenly found a yellow tree with a fairy fruit on the cliff above the waterfall. This fruit is a sacred object that sucks up the water in the pool, but there is not enough time and the magical power is still poor. Must be raised for one hundred days. So, I asked my parents to keep the fairy fruit and go back to prepare the tools to get the treasure.

After three months, the fairy fruit grows bigger and bigger, shaped like a bucket. However, no foreigners came back. After ninety-nine days, outsiders still didn't come, so parents picked the fairy fruit and threw it into the pool for testing. Fairy fruit enters the pool, only to see brilliance, sound absorption, waterfall water stop falling, pool water fall. In less than an hour, there is no water in the pool. If you see the gold and silver treasures at the bottom of the pool. Just when they were surprised, there was a sudden loud noise in the pool. The parents were shocked. The waterfall immediately fell and the pool was full. Everything is back to normal.

The next day, when foreigners came here, they didn't see the fairy fruit on the tree. They didn't know the reason until they asked it. He sighed regretfully and said, "Xianguo still owes a day's wages. What a pity! Unfortunately! "

Later, this place was crowded. In order to commemorate this ancient fairy tree of the Yellow Sect, it was named "Huangguoshu".

I didn't know your specific requirements, so I found more.
