Kunyu Mountain Folk Tale: The Golden Cicada Becomes a Real Person
During the Jin Dynasty, there was a large family in Laizhou Wuguan Village, surnamed Liu, with a population of one million. Liu Million has been married for eight years, but he hasn't had any children. As the saying goes, thirty is childless and half lonely. The couple, who are over 30 years old, are afraid of death because they have no children, so it seems unnecessary to complain all day, even about their noses and eyes. Husband and wife don't think about tea and rice at the dinner table, but they look at each other on the kang. When the husband cries for a long time, the wife should catch her breath. I wish my eyes were dry.
One day, a Taoist priest who was begging for alms came to the door and happened to have an opportunity with Liu Million. Holding a copper bowl in his hand, the Taoist priest read: Don't worry, benefactor, the Liu family is promising. After listening to the Taoist priest, Liu Million was stunned. He felt that the Taoist priest had a lot to do with it, so he went up to him and asked, please point out the maze, make a good son and make a generous down payment. The Taoist priest said: Good! Very good! Monks are not greedy for money, but are simple-oriented, which has something to do with benefactors. Today, the Yellow River is flooding, and the victims are in droves. If the donor can open a warehouse to give rice porridge for three years, the son can get it and use it to relieve the people. Otherwise my son will be in a daze. The Taoist priest said and roared off.
Liu Million was anxious to have a child, so he ordered his servants to set up a mat shed in front of the gate, cook porridge in a pot and give alms to the victims. What the Taoist priest said really worked. Liu Million gave up porridge for three years, and the victims returned home one after another. One night, Liu's wife dreamed that there was a purple gas coming out of Taiji Mountain. There is a golden cicada glowing in the purple gas, and it flies into her mouth. She felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She was awakened by pain and thought the dream was strange, so she woke her husband and told him the story of the dream she had just had. Millions feel smart after listening to it. He immediately put on his clothes, lit the lamp and carefully examined his wife's stomach. He touched it with his hand, put his head on it and listened to it again and again. He felt that his wife's stomach was different from the past, as if there were foreign objects moving in it. The couple couldn't sleep any longer, so they dreamed about it until dawn.
After getting pregnant in October, the Liu family really gave birth to a son. The happy Liu Jia couple gathered friends and relatives to celebrate for three days and three nights. Liu Million named his son Changsheng, and the title was proclaimed. This immortal, smart since childhood, knows calligraphy and poetry like the back of his hand. What Liu Million is worried about is that immortality dislikes the learning of Confucius and Mencius, prefers the theory of Laozi and Zhuangzi, and takes Tao as his home all day long. By the time he got married, he refused all the words of the matchmaker and his father's orders and ran around every day. His ambition to visit Taoism is stronger than steel.
In the spring of the ugly year, the immortal must not be pedantic, and his mood is very trance. So I wandered around my garden to get rid of my depression. When he passed by the rockery, he saw a poem engraved on the Taihu stone of the rockery, and the ink was not dry. He looked at it carefully and thought, how strange! The poem is not on the top, only the last two sentences: "The military attache raises the land of true immortals, and there are immortals in it." Changsheng read the poem repeatedly, and his heart became more confused. I think the ink of the poem is not dry, but the inscription has disappeared. Is it really a fairy pose? ! He was immersed in thinking when suddenly four Taoist priests came out from behind the Taihu Stone. Walking in front of the old man, saying: good, good! Does the benefactor care about the poem on the stone? Changsheng bowed deeply to the Taoist priest and replied, "My disciples traveled all over the Central Plains looking for a teacher, but I didn't see a real teacher who didn't understand the Tao. I really felt at a loss and desolate.". The Taoist priest said that you can't find a place through the iron shoes. This is all based on peace of mind. Today, under the loose moon, you listen to my song:
I came back from fishing and saw Ao Bai again.
I also know Cao Youxian.
Laughing at each other,
Jump out of the red waves.
Changsheng was stunned for an instant after listening to the song. He knelt down and kowtowed to the teacher. The Taoist priest held up the immortal and said, I am Wang Zhongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, and I know that you are predestined friends with Quanzhen Sect. Today, I will enlighten you with your brothers. Then, Ma Danyang, Tan Changzhen and Qiu Chuji were introduced to Liu Changsheng one by one. Changsheng also entered the meeting ceremony with several brothers. Wang Zhongyang is particularly happy today, because he came to Kunyu Mountain to preach at the behest of Lv Zu, and now he has established Quanzhen Great Religion. Changsheng is his last disciple, and his long-cherished wish has come true today. Holding the dust in his hand, he laughed at the sky and took four disciples to swim in the clouds of Western Qin. Liu Changsheng didn't even say goodbye to his parents, and since then he has become a monk.
During the Qin Dynasty, Liu Changsheng and his teacher Wang Zhongyang went to Zhong Nanshan together. After his mentor returned to his post, he and three senior brothers kept the tomb for three years. Three years later, he returned from the Western Qin Dynasty to the Xu Ling Palace in Taiji Mountain in Laizhou to cultivate himself.
In the second year of Changsheng's return to Xu Ling Palace, when he was digging Yunxi Cave, craftsmen dug a few feet and found an ancient well, which was chilly. Changsheng heard the news, walked around the ancient well, and then said to the craftsman, chisel, there is no need to make a fuss. A few more steps, and there will be two wells. That's where I want to go back to the park. Sure enough, a few steps were dug and the second well really appeared. Changsheng came to the second well, and when it was cold, he leaned over to observe the second well. There is no water at the bottom of the well, but there is a golden cicada shining on the stone boron at each bottom of the well. In a trance, for an instant, Changsheng seemed to meet his mother. He became suspicious and was afraid that his eyes were lying. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. At this time, there was nothing at the bottom of the well and the golden cicada was gone. Changsheng realized that seeing your mother with the naked eye means that you are still in a cage. Before her death, Master told me that I still had some mortal debts, and I must be ascetic to destroy the clouds, otherwise all my previous efforts would be in vain. So I threw myself into the life at the bottom of the well, washed away the customs and returned to simplicity.
A few years later, on a crisp autumn day, a huge crane hovered over Xu Ling Palace in Taiji Mountain, and a person sat on the top of the crane's back. Seeing his master Liu Changsheng sitting on it, all his disciples waved to him and shouted, "Master, take us swimming!" " !
The crane took him into space and disappeared in a moment. What a free and easy trip! What a handsome Liu Changsheng! Mingde is a real person!

Folk stories of "Qian Jiangchao"
When the Qiantang River is at high tide, like other rivers, there is neither tide nor sound.
One year, a giant came by the Qiantang River. The giant was so tall that he crossed from one side of the river to the other. He lives in Shushan, Xiaoshan County, and sets fire to salt. People don't know his name, because he lives by the Qiantang River, so they call him Qian Wang.
Qian Wang has great strength. He often used his iron pole to pick some big stones and put them on the river. Soon, he piled up one mountain after another.
One day, he went to pick the salt he had burned in Shushan for three years and three months. However, the salt was only enough for him to hold one end, so he tied a big stone to the other end of the pole, tried it on his shoulder, and picked it up and crossed the north bank of the river.
It was hot at this time, and Qian Wang was a little tired because he had just had lunch, so he put down his burden and had a rest. Unexpectedly, he dozed off
Just then the Dragon King of the East China Sea came out to patrol the river, and the tide came in. Up and up, even up to the shore, slowly melting all the salt on Qian Wang. When the Dragon King of the East China Sea heard that there was no such salty taste in the water, it became more and more salty. He couldn't take it anymore, so he turned around and ran away. He doesn't want to escape to the ocean and make the sea salty.
King Qian slept, opened his eyes and found that the stone at one end of the pole was still on Shixia Mountain (now Shixia Mountain), but the salt at the other end was gone!
Qian Wang looked everywhere, but he couldn't find salt. As soon as he looked down, he smelled the salty taste in the river. He thought, oh, no wonder the salt is gone. Stolen by the East China Sea Dragon King. So he raised his pole and smashed it into the sea. A pole hit the big fish and they all died; Two poles turned over at the bottom of the river; The three poles brought the Dragon King of the East China Sea to the surface, begging for mercy.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea asked Qian Wang why he lost such a big temper. Qian said, "Where did you steal my salt?" The Dragon King of the East China Sea realized the reason why the seawater became salty. Make amends at once, and tell me how to patrol the river, how to melt the salt of Qian Wang unintentionally, and make the sea water salty.
The king of money was so angry that he really wanted to lift the iron pole and smash the dragon king of the East China Sea to death. The Dragon King of the East China Sea repeatedly kowtowed in panic and begged for mercy, promising to compensate Qian Wang with the salt in the seawater. Call it up when the tide rises in the future, so that the rich king won't fall asleep and can't hear it.
Hearing that these two conditions were not bad, Qian Wang spared the Dragon King of the East China Sea, put the pole at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay and said, "Call from here when the tide is high!" The Dragon King of the East China Sea promised again and again, and the money king left happily.
From then on, as soon as the tide entered Hangzhou Bay, it stretched out its neck and cried noisily until it rose to the place where Qian Wang had sat, and its neck stretched out to the top and shouted loudly. This place is now Haining. This is the origin of the world-famous Qian Jiangchao.
Classic folk historical stories 3
It's going to rain, and mom is getting married. "
"It's going to rain (autumn), and my mother is going to get married" is a folk saying in China, which is used to describe the inevitable and unstoppable things, regardless of other people's wishes and ideas. Today, this proverb has long been a household name, known to women and children!
There is also a legend about the origin of the sentence "It's going to rain, and mom is going to get married".
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a scholar named Zhu Yaozong, who was intelligent and knowledgeable and went to Beijing to be the top student in high school. When the emperor entered the palace for an examination, he was not only brilliant but also handsome, so he named him Xu and married his beloved daughter.
"Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease", and Zhu Yaozong returned to his hometown with the attitude of nouveau riche. Before leaving, Zhu Yaozong told the emperor how his mother put up with hardships, how to raise him from an early age, and how the mother and son lived together, and asked the emperor to set up a chastity memorial arch for his widowed mother who had been unmarried for many years. The emperor was very happy to hear this, and he liked this son-in-law more in his heart, that is, he was allowed to play. Zhu Yaozong crossed the road day and night to visit his mother.
When Zhu Yaozong told Niang about the establishment of the chastity memorial arch, Zhu's mother, who was originally happy, was shocked at once, with an uneasy look on her face, which seemed awkward. Zhu Yaozong was puzzled and asked in surprise, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"My heart hurts."
"How do you say it hurts?"
"Son!" Mother Zhu burst into tears. "You don't know the pain of being a widow. Holding a candle all night and crying till dawn, I finally got you out of my head! Mom wants to spend the rest of her life with someone. I'll tell you something now. My mother is going to remarry. I can't accept this chastity archway anyway. "
"Mom, who are you going to marry?"
"Your teacher Zhang Wenju."
Listening to my mother's answer was like a bolt from the blue. Unsuspecting Zhu Yaozong was knocked to the ground at once and knelt in front of her with a plop: "Mom, this can't be done. If you remarry, where will your son's face go? What's more, this' crime of bullying the king' is bound to be fatal! "
Zhu Mu was speechless at the moment, so she couldn't have it both ways between her son and remarriage.
It turned out that Zhu Yaozong lost his father when he was 8 years old, and Zhu Yaozong's mother endured the grief of her young husband. Seeing that her son is smart and eager to learn, she specially invited Zhang Wenju, a famous local scholar, to teach at home. Thanks to Zhang Wenju's good education, Zhu Yaozong made rapid progress in his studies. Zhu Mu is very happy and respects Zhang Wenju more and more. Zhang Wenju's personality and talent deeply touched Chen Xiuying's heart, and Zhang Wenju fell in love with the gentle and virtuous Chen Xiuying. The two agreed that Zhu Yaozong would formally get married after marriage and grow old together. Unexpectedly, this marriage was inadvertently ruined by Zhu Yaozong, who was in the dark, and such an embarrassing situation appeared.
He who tied the bell must untie the bell. When she was in a dilemma, Zhu Mu couldn't help but sigh: "Then let fate take its course." As she spoke, she took off a skirt and said to Zhu Yaozong, "Tomorrow you will wash my skirt and dry it for a day and a night. If the skirt is dry, I promise not to remarry; Skirts don't work, that's providence, and you don't have to stop it. "
It was a sunny day, and Zhu Yaozong thought it was not difficult to do it, so he nodded and agreed. Who knows it was cloudy that night, and it rained heavily at dawn, and the skirt was always wet. Zhu Yaozong complained in his heart and knew it was an act of God.
Chen Xiuying said to his son seriously, "Son, it's going to rain, and mother is going to get married. God is inviolable!"
It's no use talking at this time. Zhu Yaozong had to truthfully report the marriage between his mother and his mentor to the emperor and asked the emperor to punish him. The emperor was amazed again and again, and issued an imperial decree: "Don't blame those who don't know, it's a perfect match, let her go."

Folk stories in Qing dynasty: strange cases of unjust ghosts
During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, it was a month of darkness.
In the study in the backyard of Zhili Governor's Office, residual candles are swaying. Governor Tang Zhiyu is still reading. During the Kangxi period, the governor of Zhili, who was born as a scholar, was always honest and had a good reputation.
Suddenly, there was a piercing cry outside the screen window, which sounded creepy in the silent night. Tang Zhiyu eagerly asked the servant to open the door. The little boy opened the door with trepidation, looked into the backyard, exclaimed and collapsed to the ground. Tang Zhiyu was full of energy and came out with a sword. I saw a man kneeling in the shadow of the night, with a black and red face and nails about two inches long. This is clearly a spectre!
Tang Zhiyu turned pale at once, but he thought, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door in the middle of the night. I'm a senior official. How can I be afraid of a little devil? So he tried to be calm and said in a clear voice, "Does the ghost who kneels have any grievances? Come with this official. " The ghost said flatly, "My name is Feng Desheng. He lived in Wuqing county before his death and was killed by a strongman on his way to business. Wuqing county magistrate, a faint official, arrested an innocent citizen, but let the real murderer get away with it. I've heard a lot about your honor, and I'm sorry to bother you tonight. I hope your honor can avenge me. " Tang Zhiyu quickly asked, "Who is the real murderer?" The ghost said sixteen words word by word: "a mouthful of heaven, a mouthful of soil, a river behind the house, and a willow beside the house." Say that finish, turned to the wall.
Early the next morning, two officials from Wuqing County escorted a prisoner to the governor's office to report the murder. Tang Zhiyu was not surprised when he heard the case. So this is Feng Deshan's murder case. Remembering the ghost's words last night, Tang Zhiyu quickly asked the officer, "Where was the deceased killed?" The officer replied, "It's near Liujiazhuang, Wuqing County." Tang Zhiyu asked again, "Is there a river behind Liujiazhuang?" The officer replied, "Exactly." Tang Zhiyu patted the gavel and ordered, "Bring someone named Wu Ji from Liujiazhuang at once!" Hearing this, buddhist nun thought, "One bite at a time, isn't this the word of Wu Ji? I secretly admire Tang Zhiyu's cleverness. " Let's start by arresting Wu Ji and taking him to the hall for interrogation. Tang Zhiyu immediately ordered him to be put to death. Tang Zhiyu took the murderer who was originally escorted by an official to court and said to him, "This official has always adjudicated cases impartially, and your grievances have now been cleared. I burned a piece of paper today and asked the ghost of Feng Deshan who appealed for you to send a complaint within three days. Can you send a message to your family for the time being, and let you go when this official receives a complaint? " Three days later, the ghost appeared again. Tang Zhiyu took the complaint from the ghost, tore it up suddenly and shouted, "Take this cat down for me!" " "Chief ambush in the air, put the ghost alive on the spot.
After the trial, the truth came out: in fact, this "ghost" pretended to deceive Tang Zhiyu. After the murderer killed Feng Deshan, he was caught and brought to justice. In order to make a living, he discussed with his family and spent a lot of money to buy a thief who is good at flying over the eaves and pretending to be a ghost.
The ministers and the little boy were pleasantly surprised and asked Tang Zhiyu how he knew this "ghost" was fake. Tang Zhiyu smiled and said, "I never believe in ghosts in the world. In addition, I observed that there were obvious footprints on the back wall. Can ghosts come and go so clumsily? Therefore, I will follow suit and draw this' ghost' out to explain the truth. "
The innocent Wu Ji was sent back to Liujiazhuang, and the murderer and ghost thief were severely punished according to law. This story about Tang Zhiyu's plan to solve the mysterious "ghost" case has become a popular story.

West Lake Folk Tale: Taurus
At that time, the lake was a vast expanse of white water, and the shore was black and oily fertile land. People around grow crops in the fields and irrigate them with lake water. The ears of rice are heavy and round, like a string of pearls, which really makes people like it. In the off-season, everyone goes fishing and shrimping on the lake. People live in harmony and live a happy life.
At the bottom of the lake, there lived a Taurus. As long as the weather is fine for a long time and the lake gradually becomes shallow, there will be a Taurus in the lake: you can see its golden back, protruding cow head and upturned horns from a distance, and spit out a mouthful of water in your mouth, making the lake full again at once.
One summer, it didn't rain for 998 1 day. Dry to the bottom of the lake, the surrounding fields are as hard as stones, the cracks are several inches wide, and the green seedlings are all yellow. People are so thirsty that their eyes are sunken and they are bored all over. They look forward to Taurus every day.
This morning, everyone was waiting by the lake, and suddenly there was a "moo". Ha, I really saw Taurus emerge from the bottom of the lake. It shook its head, wagged its tail, spat, and suddenly the lake was full again. When everyone saw it, they applauded with joy and shed tears, thanking Taurus. I saw Taurus raise his head and blink his eyes. With a "moo", slowly, no one entered the lake anymore.
Such a scene soon spread. After hearing this, officials in Qiantang County smiled and said, "This is really a clown. If you give it to the emperor, you will be promoted and made a fortune! " Now, I order my men to catch Taurus. Those officials and local officials rushed to the lake one by one and looked up, but there was a vast white lake in front of them. Where is Taurus? Ask someone nearby. If you see someone in the yamen, either you don't see it or you quietly avoid it. The magistrate must report to the county magistrate. The magistrate was angry, grew a moustache, thought and thought, and came up with a unique way.
He said to his men, "Since Taurus has disappeared and sank to the bottom of the lake, you should gather all the people and dry up the lake. Whoever doesn't go will be killed! "
People living by the lake, men, women, old people and young people, were all driven to the lake. Under the threat of the county magistrate, they had to set up a waterwheel to open the lake. After driving for 998 1 day, everyone was exhausted. On the last day, the lake finally dried up Sure enough, "Taurus lies at the bottom of the lake, and the dawn is golden."
When the county magistrate went to see it, he was dazzled by the golden light, but he still shouted for officials to hurry down to the lake to grab the Taurus. Strange to say, Taurus seems to have taken root and can't lift it. People secretly pleased from the heart.
Seeing that it was impossible to move, the county magistrate said to the people, "Who can lift the golden bull and reward it with three hundred and twenty pieces of silver!" But people stood still and ignored him angrily. When the county magistrate saw that the people ignored him, he shouted loudly, "If you don't raise the Taurus today, cut it all!" When the county magistrate finished speaking, she heard Taurus let out a cry, which really sounded like a bolt from the blue. But when he saw flying sand and stones, the county magistrate was pale with fear and his legs were weak. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't move a step. At this moment, Taurus rolled his round eyes, stood up, shouted at the sky, spit out a mouthful of glistening flood from his mouth, and rushed to the county magistrate and chief, dragging them all into the huge waves at once. Soon, the lake was full again.
Since then, the Taurus in the lake has never appeared again, and the lake has never dried up. People can't forget Taurus, so they built a tall tower on the wall by the lake and climbed it every day to see Taurus.
This tower was later called "Yongjinmen".
