Ehuang and Nvying are the two daughters of Yao in ancient Chinese legends. Also known as "Huang Ying". The elder was called Ehuang, the second was Nvying, and the sisters married Emperor Shun together. Shun's father was stubborn, his mother was arrogant, and his younger brother was evil. He tried to kill Shun City many times, but he finally escaped with the help of Empress E's daughter Ying. Shun succeeded Yao to the throne and became the concubine of Emperor E's daughter Ying. Later, Shun visited the south and died in Cangwu. When the second concubine went to look for it, her tears stained the green bamboo, and there were spots on the bamboo, so it was called "Xiaoxiang Bamboo" or "Xiangfei Bamboo". The second concubine also died between the Xiangjiang River. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the love myth of Xiangjun, the god of the Xiangjiang River, and his wife has evolved into the legend of Shun, Ehuang and Nvying. Later generations called the two daughters "Mrs. Xiang" because of their affiliation.
[Edit this paragraph] Legends of characters
It is said that the smart and beautiful Ehuang and Nvying were the two daughters of Emperor Yao, the tribal chief in ancient times. Also known as "Huang Ying". In his later years, Emperor Yao wanted to find a satisfactory successor. He saw that Shun was a great sage with extraordinary virtues and talents, so he passed the throne to Shun and made Ehuang and Nvying his wives.
Ehuang was granted the title of empress, and Nv Ying was granted the title of concubine. Shun lived up to Yao's trust and asked Yu to control the floods, so that the people could live a stable life. Emperor E and Nvying also actively assisted Shun in doing good things for the people. In the later years of Emperor Shun's life, war broke out in the Jiuyi Mountain area, and Shun wanted to inspect the situation there. Shun told Ehuang and Nvying about this idea. The two ladies thought that Shun was old and frail, so they rushed to go with him. Considering the high mountains and dense forests and the twists and turns of the road, Shun took only a few followers and left quietly.
Ehuang and Nvying set off immediately after learning that Shun had left. After chasing them to the Yangtze River, they encountered a strong wind, and a fisherman sent them to Dongting Mountain. Later, they learned that Emperor Shun was dead and buried at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain. The bamboo was stained with tears. Later, they drowned in the Xiang River and became the gods of the Xiang River. Liu Xiang of Han Dynasty's "Biography of Women? There Are Two Concubines of Yu" says: "There are two concubines of Yu, the two daughters of Emperor Yao, Emperor Chang'e, and the second daughter Ying." "Shan Hai Jing" records: "In the Dongting, the two daughters of Emperor Yao live. Therefore, if you often swim in the rivers and abyss, you will encounter storms and storms when you go in and out. "Jin Zhanghua's "Natural History Supplement" says: "When Shun died, the two concubines cried and waved the bamboos with tears, and the bamboos were all stained." There is now Jiangnan. The sayings of "Mottled Bamboo" and "Xiangfei Bamboo" stem from this.
The beautiful and moving images of Emperor E and Nvying have always become creative themes that attract poets and painters. "Nine Songs of Lord Xiang" and "Nine Songs of Lady Xiang" in "Nine Songs" by Qu Yuan, my country's greatest poet, are the earliest immortal poems praising the two concubines.
Others
Emperor Yao had two daughters, the eldest was Ehuang and the second was Nvying. Legend has it that King Yao's two wives gave birth to Emperor E by his first wife, and they gave birth to Nv Ying by their second wife. There are different opinions.
After Emperor Yao abdicated the throne to Yu Shun, he married his two virtuous daughters to Shun to assist Emperor Shun and manage state affairs.
Ehuang had no children, and Shangjun was the daughter of a female Ying.
When the two daughters married Shun, Yao and his wife argued endlessly about who should be the main palace and Dian the concubine. Finally, a method was decided. It is said that King Shun was about to move to Puban at that time. Yao ordered the two daughters to set off from Pingyang to Puban at the same time. Whichever one arrived first would be the main palace, and whichever one arrived later would be the partial concubine. Ehuang and Nvying listened to their father's words and prepared to march to Puban. Ehuang, a simple girl, jumped on a big horse and galloped forward, while Nvying showed pomp and circumstance and rode there in a car, choosing to drive by a mule, which was very impressive. However, it was hot summer and the animals were covered in sweat. They passed by the north of Xiyang Village and encountered a stream. The two women rested for a while and let the animals drink water to quench their thirst before continuing on their way. During the journey, unexpectedly, the female mule driven by Nv Ying suddenly gave birth to a foal, so the car stopped. At this time, Ehuang's horse was already galloping on a distant journey, but Nvying was affected by the mule's birth of foals and fell behind. The position of empress in the palace was taken over by Ehuang. In addition to her heroic spirit, she scolded the mule not to give birth to foals in the future. Therefore, it is said that mules that cannot conceive or bear foals are all sealed by female heroes.
The place where later generations drank water for the two female animals was called Eying Spring, which is now near Xiyang Village in Xiangfen County.
It is also said that after Emperor Shun came to power for thirty-nine years, he visited the Yangtze River area and unfortunately died in the Cangwu wilderness and was buried on Jiuyi Mountain. When the two ladies heard the bad news, they went to the south to look for King Shun.
”
When Xiang couldn’t wait to run to Shun’s house to play with Shun’s piano, Shun walked in from outside. Xiang was shocked and embarrassed, and immediately put on a glum look on his face. He said nonchalantly: "I'm missing you, it makes me feel so depressed! Shun said, "Yes, you are such a brother!" "History books say that after experiencing these "domestic violence" baptisms, Shun was still kind-hearted, served his parents, loved his brothers, and was more respectful as before.
All this shows that Shun was very kind. He is a sensible person, and his two wives can recite such a difficult "Family Scripture" so smoothly, which shows how well-measured and wise and virtuous they are. It made Shun famous and skillfully resolved the family crisis. No wonder later generations listed the two as the first in the "Mother's Biography" in "The Biography of Women", saying that "the two concubines were pure in virtue and steadfast in their conduct", and they were even cited in "The Biography of Women". The "Book of Songs" has such heavyweight words as "If you don't show your virtue, you will be punished in a hundred ways", which is greatly appreciated.
The legend of Xiangfei Bamboo
It is said that in the era of Yao and Shun, there was a bamboo on Jiuyi Mountain in Hunan. The nine evil dragons lived in nine caves and often came to the Xiangjiang River to play in the water. As a result, the floods rose, crops were washed away, houses were washed away, and the people complained endlessly. Emperor Shun was concerned about the sufferings of the people. When he heard the news about the evil dragon harming the people, he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. He wanted to go to the south to help the people get rid of the evil and punish the evil dragon.
Emperor Shun had two concubines—— Ehuang and Nvying were the two daughters of Emperor Yao. Although they were born in the royal family and were imperial concubines, they were deeply influenced and taught by Yao and Shun. They were not greedy for pleasure, but always cared about the sufferings of the people. They were also reluctant to leave Shun away from home this time. However, thinking of relieving the people of Xiangjiang from disaster and pain, they suppressed their inner sorrow and happily sent Shun on his way.
Emperor Shun left, and E Huang and Nv Ying were waiting for the good news of his victory over the dragon at home, praying for him day and night for his early triumphant return. However, year after year passed, and the swallow came and went several times. The flowers bloomed and fell several times, but there was still no news from Emperor Shun. They were worried. Ehuang asked, "Could it be that he was injured by an evil dragon or fell ill in another country?" "Nvying said: "Is it possible that he was in danger on the way, or that he lost his way on the remote mountain road? "The two of them thought about it and decided that instead of staying at home for a long time without hearing any news or seeing his returnee, it would be better to go and look for him. So Ehuang and Nvying braved the wind and frost, traveled through mountains and rivers, and went to the Xiangjiang River in the south to find their husbands.
Climbing mountain after mountain, wading through water after water, they finally arrived at Jiuyi Mountain. They followed the Great Bauhinia River to the top of the mountain, then came down along the Little Bauhinia River, and searched all over Jiuyi Mountain. They visited every mountain village in Yishan Mountain and visited every trail in Jiuyi Mountain. On this day, they came to a place called Sanfeng Stone. Here, there were three large rocks standing, surrounded by green bamboos, and a tower made of pearl shells. They were surprised by the tall tomb and asked the nearby villagers: "Whose tomb is so spectacular and beautiful?" Why do the three big rocks stand so precariously? "The villagers told them with tears in their eyes: "This is the tomb of Emperor Shun. He came here from the far north and helped us kill the nine evil dragons. The people lived a peaceful life, but he worked hard and died. After all the sweat and blood, he suffered and died here. "It turns out that after Emperor Shun died of illness, the folks in Xiangjiang specially built this tomb for him in order to express their gratitude for Emperor Shun's kindness. A group of cranes on Jiuyi Mountain were also moved by this, and they came to the South China Sea day and night to carry the tomb. The dazzling pearls were scattered on Emperor Shun's tomb, which became the pearl tomb. The three huge stones were inserted into the ground by Emperor Shun's three-tooth rake to kill the evil dragon. After Nvying learned the truth, she was extremely sad. They hugged each other and cried. They cried in grief for nine days and nine nights. Their eyes were swollen from crying, their throats were hoarse from crying, and their eyes were dry. Blood and tears came, and they died next to Emperor Shun.
The eyes of Ehuang and Nvying were sprinkled on the bamboo mountain of Jiuyi Mountain, and there were spots of tears on the bamboo poles, some of which were purple. There are snow-white ones and blood-red ones. These are "Xiangfei Bamboo".
The entourage led the horse to follow the carriage, and the old horse protected the foal from kicking and jumping. Because the horse has the nature of a dragon, later generations changed Xiaowangzhuang to Longma Village, which has remained unchanged to this day.
The horse had not gone far when it raised its head and neighed, as if it was thirsty. As it barked, it dug out a stream of water with its front hooves, and then the horse lowered its head and drank. Later generations called this clear water "Mazhao Spring". The name of the village was changed to Chijing Village, which is now Chijing Village. There was also an Eying Temple built in the village.
The two sisters, Ehuang and Nvying, were sitting in the car. It was inevitable that they had some feelings on this matter. Outside the sky, everyone admitted that they were wrong. Ehuang first praised Nvying's sister for her good heart and high style. Regarding the big and small matters, my father cannot make a decision. Later, the method of boiling beans and collecting shoe soles was adopted. As a result, Ehuang failed again; for the third time, his father's minister Gaotao decided to let one person ride a horse and the other person ride a chariot, but Ehuang still failed. This series of facts all show that the younger sister is smart, but Ehuang is self-defeating. After the car arrived at Yaoqiu, Ehuang planned to go to Lishan to work and produce. His sister stayed in Yaoqiu to serve her parents and take care of the housework.
The two sisters talked more and more cordially in the car. Nvying was moved by this and was willing to learn from her sister's noble sentiments of humility, unity and friendship. Unknowingly, the car had arrived at Yaoqiu. Local relatives, friends and people lined the streets to welcome Shun, Ehuang and Nvying back, and held a worship ceremony. King Shun expressed his deep gratitude to the people who greeted him and said: An accident occurred during the journey and I apologized for keeping everyone waiting for a long time.
After the two sisters married King Shun, they followed what they said in the car. Emperor E went to Lishan to work on growing crops, while Nv Ying stayed at home to serve her parents.
Nvying gave birth to a son named Yao Shangjun. At that time, the society was based on barter, and Japan and China were the market. Business sought uniformity and exchanged what was needed, so it was named Shangjun. Shang Jun later went to Yaotou and opened a pottery kiln. He gave birth to three sons, the eldest son Yao Wen. The second son Yao Long and the third son Yao Neng.
The story of Ehuang and Nvying has been passed down to this day, and Yang Xie has become the second daughter’s natal home. The third day of March every year is the day when the second daughter returns to her natal home, and April 28 is the day when the second daughter returns to her husband’s home. The day when the god An (Yao Qiu) was established.
Although the female ying is young, she is the empress of the main palace, and the order of eldest and youngest lives in her natal family. People in Yangxie Village should go to Shenli one day in advance on the second day of the lunar month to pick up their eldest aunt E Huang, and on the third day of the lunar month, they should go to Wan'an to pick up their second aunt Nv Ying.
After the second daughter returned to her parents’ home, the people of Sheep and Xie invited the eldest aunt to the temple on the fourth day of the lunar month, and the second aunt to the temple on the fifth day of the lunar month. This day was more lively than the fourth day of the lunar month. Every family ate dumplings, and everyone was happy. The village is filled with singing, dancing and drumming.
In addition, women in Yangxi Village must go to Shenli one day in advance on the fifth day of May, the eighteenth day of June, and the ninth day of September every year, and arrive in Wanan on the right day. On March 15th and April 8th, women from Shenli and Wan'an go to Yangxie to pay their birthdays. The so-called legacy of Tang and Yu has been passed down to this day.
