Folding folk custom

Legend has it that fish was originally the god who supervised the fish family in the sky. Because of sympathy for fish, it was crushed by the jade emperor in the Yangtze River under Wuchang. It is a megalithic town that feeds on fossils. I don't know how many years passed. One day, the yellow crane fluttered across the river and heard the cry for help in the river. The yellow crane followed the sound and dived to the bottom of the river to see the fish. The fish cried sadly to it about his punishment for breaking the dogma, and asked the yellow crane to play the role of God to save it and benefit mankind. The Yellow Crane was very sympathetic, so he flew to the Heavenly Palace to play the role of the Jade Emperor, escaped the slavery of fish and survived in the Yangtze River basin.

In the Song Dynasty, when the writer Su Dongpo lived in Huangzhou, Hubei Province, he ate fish. After tasting its delicacy, I couldn't help but write down "a play of fish": "The pink stone has no bones, and the white puffer fish can't cure people. I sent a message to God and Hebo, why not ask the water demon? " In the poem, I pray for the fish with infinite emotion. I hope that the Emperor of Heaven and the River God can give this glittering, translucent, tender, spinless and scaleless fish a title of water god, which is better than puffer fish and harmless to people. Appeals and prayers were not fulfilled, but the delicious fish remained in the world.
