Legend of the dragon, folklore

Dragons are personified in Han folk literature and art, and the sea dragon king benefits the people and harms the people. In the mythical novel "List of Gods", Journey to the West, the drama "Liu Yi Biography of Shu" and "Zhang Zhuyuhai", there are dragon kings with different good and evil and human-like personalities. One of the sayings of "Dragon of Nine Children" comes from the Collection of Huailu Hall written by Li Dongyang in Ming Dynasty. The nine sons of the dragon are:

Laoda prison cow (qiúniú)

Raul artistry

Cai Mao

Lao si pu Lao (pu Lao)

The fifth brother

Old six (b √×)

Laoqi armadillo

Old eight bears a heavy burden (Fuxi)

Laojiu kiss/tail (ch and w ě n/ch and w ě i)

Another way of saying it is:

Big brother (b √√)

Kiss the penis/tail (ch and w ě n/ch and w ě i)

Laosandao

Laosi armadillo

Old five gluttonous (tāotiè)

Old Liu Pteris vittata (should) (bāxià)

Lao qi ya zi

Old BaSao (suānní)

Laojiu intersection map (jiāotú)

Some sayings also include beheading, Kirin, Chaotianhao (rudder) and mythical animals as one of the sons of the dragon. There is a Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea, and there is a Dragon Cave on the Peach Blossom Island.

Longdong is deep in the East China Sea, and Taohualong lives in the cave.

It's hard to get out after a long time, but I see peach blossoms every year.

The "female dragon" was originally the daughter of fishermen, with a pretty face and apricot cheeks. She was clever and hardworking, carrying water to weave nets and spinning. The thread she spins during the day does not break the net: the net she weaves at night catches the most fish: she carries water in dry days and undertakes the heavy responsibility of clearing the waves.

Fishermen never dress up, and love to wear two braids since childhood. One day, my sister-in-law laughed at her:

"Sister-in-law is fourteen years old this year. It's too ugly to braid again. Come, I'll comb it for you. "

But I can't comb it straight, just tie two braids as usual.

The fisherman has a strange temper and doesn't take a bath all year round. On one occasion, mother criticized her:

"Such a big girl, don't take a shower! When people don't laugh at you, they always blame me for being a mother. "

The fisherman giggled, threw himself into his mother's arms, and turned and ran away.

It turns out that she is not her own daughter, but her father found it at the seaside.

On that day, the wind and waves were high, the thunder and lightning were thundering, and the rainstorm was like a tide. A baby was put on the beach and cried. Dad happened to pass by the seaside and quickly took her home. Fish soup was used as milk to raise her. A Niang taught her to weave fishing nets, her father carved shellfish for her, and her brother teased her to play by the sea and climb to the ground to be a good horse.

The fisherman is good and beautiful, and he grows to eighteen. Eighteen girls hedge bamboo, and the matchmaker squeezes the house. Dongcun is a matchmaker, and ten bridesmaids line up; When I came to the West Village, ten betrothal money was carried through the door. Accordingly, the young master studies hard every day and enjoins senior officials to enjoy themselves. Well, the host goes to Gai Lou by boat, wears silks and satins and drinks ginseng chicken soup every year.

Parents laugh riddles, quietly asked the fisherman:

"Who is Ruyilang? Tell me quickly, son!"

The fisherman's girl raised her eyebrows with a face like a peach blossom:

"I don't want to enjoy happiness or be greedy for money. I like fishing best! "

Dad frowns, mom grins, and my brother and sister-in-law laugh and humiliate my sister.

Aunt said: "A Xiang's family is poor, so he goes out fishing."

The fisherman said, "The fisherman knows the tide and his daughter is willing to marry."

A Niang said, "A Xiang often doesn't eat. Go and beg for hunger."

The fisherman said, "It doesn't matter whether you are hungry or not. Fish soup competes with ginseng. "

My parents said, "My parents are good to you, and my daughter is married to Ryo Nishimura!" "

The fisherman said, "I won't marry in Nishimura, I will die with A Xiang!" "

Parents had no choice but to politely refund the engagement money. The rich fisherman refused to give up, but also pulled the matchmaker, forcing him to match-up, grandiloquence:

"Don't be in-laws and enemies, be careful in the future!"

My parents were timid and accepted the engagement money with tears in their eyes: the fisherman was even sadder, and there were only tears in his eyes. ...

A Xiang is a fisherman. She grew up with her childhood friends. Pick up colorful shells at the seaside and play hide-and-seek between rocks; Enjoy the moon in the evening and sing in the morning. A Xiang's clothes are broken, and the fisherman's line is long; The fisherman wanted to have a taste, so A Xiang put away his net: A Xiang broke the rice, and the fisherman quietly brought rice and grain.

The fisherman's heart is boring, and A Xiang's feelings are loud. A Xiang loves the fisherman's girl, the stars are accompanied by the moon, and the fisherman's girl loves A Xiang as deep as the ocean. In addition to the Four Seas Dragon King mentioned in The Journey to the West, there is another novel named The Romance of Gods. The Romance of the Gods, also known as the List of Gods, was written in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and there is also a saying that it was adapted by Yangzhou Taoist thinker Lv Xixing.

The Romance of the Gods is based on the story of Zhou Wuwang's crusade against Shang Zhouwang, describing the story of Jiang Ziya's deity. In The Legend of Creation Dragon, Yoshiki Tanaka repeatedly mentioned that the Dragon King of the Four Seas was ordered by the Heaven Emperor to help the Zhou Dynasty to crusade against the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and in The Romance of Gods, the Dragon King also appeared. However, in The Romance of the Gods, the Four Seas Dragon King did not play any important role in Wu Zhou War. In fact, as Longtangshi said in The Legend of Creation, there is no mention in any literary works or classics that the Dragon King of the Four Seas participated in the Wu Zhou Revolutionary War. The role of the Dragon King in The Romance of Gods is similar to that in The Journey to the West, and it becomes a supporting role and a clown. In the list of gods, Nezha played the role of the Monkey King in The Journey to the West. Stubborn Nezha didn't know that the Chinese-style chest covering and wrist bracelet he was wearing were the treasures of the gods. When he took a bath in Jiuhewan, he put his Chinese-style chest covering in the water, which made the East China Sea shake, even the Crystal Palace shake. Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea (also known as Aoguang) sent people to investigate, but all the people sent were killed by stubborn Nezha. Ao Guang sent his third prince to investigate, but the third prince was also killed by Nezha and even skinned and cramped by Nezha. Finally, Ao Guang confessed to Nezha's father, Li Jingxing, and vowed to tell Heaven Emperor. Nezha was unconvinced and beat Ao Guang on the road. Finally, the Dragon King of the Four Seas told the Emperor of Heaven about it, and arrested Li Jing's family for trial in heaven. At this time, Nezha found fault with himself, cut out the intestines by laparotomy and returned the flesh and blood to his parents, which calmed the matter down. Finally, Nezha was resurrected with the help of Taiyi real person and became the pioneer of King Wu's offensive war. The Dragon King was not mentioned in the later Romance of the Gods. It can be seen that the statement that the Four Seas Dragon King helped the Zhou Dynasty to crusade against the Shang and Zhou Dynasties is purely a fabrication by Yoshiki Tanaka, and there is no exact myth and legend background to support it. Beside Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is a pair of men and women. The man is called Shancai and the woman is called Dragon Lady. The dragon lady was originally the little daughter of the East China Sea Dragon King. She was born with fine features and smart, and won the favor of the Dragon King. One day, she heard that there were fish lanterns in the world, and it was very lively, so she clamored to see them. The dragon king stroked his beard and shook his head. "It's deserted and crowded here, but it's not where your dragon princess goes!" " The dragon girl pretends to cry, but the dragon king just refuses. Dragon girl pursed her lips and thought, if you don't let me go, I'll go! Finally, in the middle of the night, she slipped out of the Crystal Palace and became a very beautiful fisherman. She stepped on the moonlight of the magnum and came to a noisy place with fish lights. This is a small fishing town, and there are many fish lanterns on the street! There are yellow croaker lights, horn lights, octopus lights, cuttlefish lights, shark lights, lobster lights, sea crab lights, scallop lights, conch lights, coral lights ... Dragon girls look around, the more they look, the happier they are, and sometimes they push themselves into the crowd. Soon came to the crossroads, here is more interesting! Fish lanterns and fish lanterns are stacked, and Dengshan is connected with Dengshan, which is colorful and dazzling. Dragon lady stood in front of Dengshan like a fool and could see God.

Behold, at this moment, half a cup of Leng Cha was poured from the attic and poured on the dragon lady's head impartially. The dragon lady was startled and complained bitterly. The dragon girl who becomes a girl can't touch half a drop of water. As soon as she gets wet, she can't keep the girl's appearance anymore. The dragon lady was in a hurry, fearing that there would be a dragon shape in the street, which would lead to the ruin of the Lantern Festival. She desperately squeezed the crowd and ran to the seaside. Just ran to the beach, suddenly "suddenly", the dragon girl turned into a very big fish, lying on the beach, unable to move.

As it happens, there are two boys fishing on the beach, one thin and the other fat. When they saw the goldfish, they were shocked at once.

"What is this fish! How can you put it on the beach? " The fat man was timid and stood far away and said, "I have never seen this kind of fish." I'm afraid it's unlucky Go! " "The thin boy was so bold that he refused to leave. While fiddling with the fish, he said, "No matter what kind of fish it is, if you carry it to the street and sell it, you will definitely earn extra money with it?" The two men muttered for a while, and then took the fish to the streets to sell.

That night, Guanyin Bodhisattva sat in the Woods of Zizhulin. She clearly saw what had just happened, and she was moved by sympathy. She said to the boy standing behind her, "Go to Fishing Town and buy a big fish and put it back into the sea."

Shancai bowed his head and said, "Bodhisattva, where can I buy fish?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva said with a smile, "Just grab one from the incense burner."

Sugiyama nodded and said yes. He hurried to Kannonji, grabbed a handful of incense ashes, stepped on a lotus flower and went straight to the fishing town. At this time, the two boys had carried the fish into the street and were suddenly surrounded by people watching the fish lanterns. People who are amazed and amazed charge exorbitant prices, and the village is buzzing, but no one dares to buy such a big fish rashly.

An old man with a white beard said, "Boy, this fish is too big. Why don't you chop it up and sell it at retail outlets? " The fat man thought the old man was right, so he borrowed a meat axe and lifted it to cut fish. Suddenly, a child cried, "See? The big fish shed tears. " When the fat man stopped the axe and saw that the big fish really shed two strings of crystal tears, he was scared to throw away the meat axe and drill outside the crowd. The thin man was afraid that the extra money would go to waste, so he quickly picked up the meat axe to cut it, but was stopped by a panting little novice monk: "Don't cut it! Don't cut! I bought this fish. " Everyone was surprised when they saw it: "Why did little novice monk buy fish?" The old man paused, cocked his goatee and said, "I'm afraid the monk will end the meat when he buys fish."

Little novice monk blushed when he saw that everyone was sneering, and quickly said, "I bought this fish to set it free!" " "He said, and took out a pinch of broken silver and handed it to the thin man, asking them to transport the fish to the seaside. The thin boy was secretly happy: "I made extra money! "Carry it to the seaside, maybe the little novice monk will leave and bring this big fish back!" He told the fat man to carry the big fish and followed the little novice monk to the seaside.

Three people came to the seaside, and the little novice monk told them to put the big fish into the sea. As soon as the fish touched the sea, it immediately splashed and swam far away, then turned around, nodded to the little novice monk and suddenly disappeared. When the thin man saw the fish swim away, he broke the idea of making extra money and found out the broken money to give to the fat man. Unexpectedly, when I opened my palm, the broken silver turned into a handful of incense ashes and was blown away by a gust of wind. Looking for little novice monk in an instant, he was gone.

Besides, in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, since the little princess disappeared, there has been a stampede outside the palace. The dragon king was so angry that the dragon beard stood up, the turtle prime minister was so anxious that his head and neck stretched out straight, the crab general who was guarding the door foamed at the mouth, and the jade shrimp maid-in-waiting knelt down and trembled with fear. It was not until dawn that the Dragon Lady returned to the Crystal Palace, and everyone was relieved. The Dragon King glared at him and roared, "How dare you go out without permission! Say! Where have you been? " Seeing that the dragon king was angry, the dragon lady knew it was useless to play coquetry, so she told the truth: "Dad, my daughter went to see the fish lanterns. If Guanyin Bodhisattva hadn't sent a good boy to save me, my daughter would have almost died! "

Then I told my story again. The dragon king turned pale when he heard this. He was afraid that Guanyin would tell the story and let the jade emperor know, so he would be accused. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he gets. In a rage, he expelled her from the Crystal Palace.

Dragon girl is very sad. Where can she live in the vast East China Sea? The next day, she came to Lianhuayang in tears. When the cry reached Zizhulin, Guanyin Bodhisattva knew it was the Dragon Lady, so she ordered Shancai to fetch the Dragon Lady. Shancai skipped up to the dragon girl and asked with a smile, "Sister Dragon, do you still remember me as a little novice monk?"

Dragon girl quickly wiped away her tears and blushed and said, "Are you a good brother? You are my savior! " If you say it, you have to bow your head. Shancai grabbed her: "Let's go, Guanyin Bodhisattva, let me pick you up!" " Cunninghamia lanceolata and Dragon Girl walked into the purple bamboo forest hand in hand. As soon as the dragon lady saw Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus platform, she bent down and bowed down. Guanyin Bodhisattva liked this dragon girl very much, and let her and Shancai live in a cave near Yin Chao Cave like brothers and sisters, which was later called Shancai Dragon Girl Cave. However, the Dragon King broke his word and often told the Dragon Lady to go back. The dragon girl is attached to the scenery of Mount Putuo and never wants to go back to the Crystal Palace where she was imprisoned.

From then on, the dragon lady followed Guanyin Bodhisattva. There is a bay called cengang on the west coast of Zhoushan Island. There is a high mountain in cengang, and the landscape pours down like a hundred feet of white cloth hanging on the cliff, which is spectacular. Year after year, at the foot of the ridge, a deep stone pool named "Longtan" is washed out.

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a white dragon in the pond. Whenever there is a drought, the White Dragon Angels draw water from the East China Sea and turn it into showers, which makes dozens of villages in Fiona Fang have good weather and bumper harvests every year. People remembered the white dragon and called him "Cengang White Dragon".

One year, there was another drought, and the white dragon was going to suck rain. Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor listened to the greedy words of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and issued a decree that he was not allowed to go to the East China Sea to absorb water again. Bai Longlong had to submit to humiliation and return to Longtan. Along the way, I was sad to see the grass withered and scorched, and there were married people everywhere. Walking, I suddenly heard crying in my ear. When I got closer, I saw a young woman dressed in linen, kneeling on the hot beach, crying in the face of the sea. Hearing this, Bai Laolong felt sad and asked, "Why is Sister-in-law crying?"

When a woman wiped her tears, she saw an old man with white beard and hair and a kind face, looking at herself with concern. As soon as her heart warmed up, she began to cry. So this woman's name is Violet. Her parents died when she was a child, and her brother and sister-in-law decided to marry a lonely boy. The couple are very loving. Who knows, it won't last long. They met in this dry season less than half a year after they got married. There was no hope in the field, so the husband invited the villagers to go fishing in the sea. Unexpectedly, the first time I went out to sea, I met a disaster. The boat was overturned by the wind and waves, and my husband fell into the water and died, leaving her a young widow, helpless and miserable.

Bai Laolong was very sympathetic and sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be too sad. Since ancient times, people can't come back from the dead. If you don't mind, I will help you catch fish for three years. "

Violet zheng, hurriedly closed tears: "this ... this how make of! As the saying goes,' there is no wind and three feet of waves at sea', how can you stand it at your age! "

Bai Laolong stroked his white beard and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, the old man has his own reasons."

Violet to see his sincerity, secretly whisper, "look at his appearance, he is probably a loser. Why don't I accumulate some virtue and take him in? " So he said, "I have no parents since I was a child. Let me recognize you as my father!" " "Be sure to kowtow when you say it.

Bai Laolong didn't like it, so he reached out and helped her up. He smiled and said, "Qing Er, you're welcome. The old man is ashamed!"

That night, Bailong jingled against the stars and began to repair the ship. Violet went home, took out a bucket of glutinous rice, and made a basket full of glutinous rice pieces according to Bai Laolong's instructions. At dawn the next day, Violet came to the seaside with a basket. She looked around, but she couldn't find the broken ship. She is in a hurry. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. Looking intently, I saw Bai Laolong crawling out of a brand-new ship sweating profusely, only to know that his broken ship had been repaired. She was so happy and grateful that she rushed to meet him and said, "Dad, thanks! Eat quickly! "

Bai Laolong ate glutinous rice, took a few fishermen and went fishing in the sea that day. The fishing boat left the harbor like an arrow leaving the string, and in an instant it reached the East China Sea Ocean. Bai Laolong told the fisherman to cast his net, but he dozed off on the deck with a pillow on his head. I saw him snoring like thunder, sweating profusely, and huge sweat poured out from his forehead, wetting the deck. The fisherman was surprised, but he was afraid to wake him up. After a while, the snoring stopped, and he shouted dreamily, "Get up the net! Get online! " The fisherman heard the sound and ran to the boat to pull up the net.

Strange to say, several people are pulling a huge fishing net, but it is as light as silk thread. Pull, pull, pull into the sea, but all of them are large yellow croaker, golden and shiny, and their tails are alive and kicking. The fisherman was very surprised and poured the yellow croaker into the cabin. Who knows, all three cabins are full, and the fish in the net have not been emptied. Fishermen, look at me, I look at you, all stunned.

In the evening, the fishing boat returned home. Violet was very happy to see so many large yellow croaker caught! Everyone heard that the old man with white beard and hair was good at fishing, and they all came to beg him to be their leader. Bai Laolong smoothed his white beard and laughed, and readily agreed.

From then on, the white dragon messenger led everyone to catch fish in the dark. Every time I go out to sea, I return with a full load. The fish I caught is big and fat, and the life of the villagers is getting better every day.

Half a year has passed in an instant. One day, Bai Laolong led everyone out to sea again. Violet prepared glutinous rice slices that Bai Laolong loved at home, and went to the seaside to wait for the boat to come back as usual. Wait and wait until the sun goes down and the moon rises, and the fishing boat hasn't come back yet. Violet was hungry and tired, so she dozed off on the reef. ...

Suddenly, she saw her gaunt adoptive father coming in a hurry, and said to her bitterly, "Qing Er, I'm leaving. Take care! If you miss me, come to Cengangling to find me. There is a white cloth hanging in front of my house. " Say and float away. "

Violet went to pull, but it missed. I woke up suddenly, only to know that it was a dream, and I was puzzled. Suddenly, I saw the roaring wind on the sea pushing the hill-like waves in. How windy it is!

Blow away all the boat piles on the shore and break the hardest rocks. Qing Lian looked at the turbulent sea stupefied, thinking of her husband's tragic experience, and suddenly turned pale and trembled, crying at the vast sea and sky.

Day after day, until the morning of the eighth day, the sea was calm, but the kind white dragon never came back. Violet remembered what Bai Laolong told her in her dream and decided to go to Cengangling to find her adoptive father. She made a basket of glutinous rice slices that Bai Laolong loved, bid farewell to the villagers and set off.

After walking day after day, village after village, I finally came to the foot of Cengangling. When I raised my eyes, I saw a vast field. How can there be a family? I'm a little scared. I was anxious when I suddenly saw a stone pool at the foot of the ridge, with a hundred-foot waterfall hanging on it, just like a piece of white cloth floating. Violet quickly put down the basket, took out the glutinous rice slices and threw them into the pool. Throw a piece of glutinous rice to call dad.

A moment of loss, a moment of calling, a wave suddenly appeared in the pool, and a pair of dragon horns slowly appeared on the water. Violet was startled, but she heard a voice in the swimming pool: "Don't be afraid, Qing Er, I am your michel platini."

Violet listened and cried sadly, "Dad, how did you become like this?"

"I am the white dragon here," said Bai Laolong. "I didn't expect to help the people fish this time, but also offended the Dragon King of the East China Sea. I participated in a book in front of the jade emperor, saying that I killed the aquarium and disturbed the Dragon Palace. The jade emperor punished me and banned me from this dragon pool, so I was not free. "

Violet heard: I am so angry! I immediately wiped away my tears and sighed angrily: "Alas! Why do industrious people suffer instead, and good people are condemned instead? What's the point of living in such an unfair world! " After that, she poured all the glutinous rice slices into the pool and jumped in with her. Violet jumped into Longtan, turned into a dragon, and disappeared into the clear water with the white dragon.

Later, in order to commemorate them, the local people set up two clubs: one called the White Dragon Club and the other called the Qinglong Club. Once every three years, once every twelve years. At the meeting, people beat gongs and drums and carried beautiful green and white dragons through the village, which was very lively. It is said that Dayu has three magic weapons to control water: one is the river map and jade slips given to him by Fuxi; Second, Ying Long in the sky paddled the ground with his tail to guide him. Dayu led migrant workers to dig rivers and divert floods along the tail-stroking route in Ying Long. The third kind is the tortoise, which throws the remaining stones and loam into low-lying places.

One day, a black dragon rolled in the flood near the dam, making waves and knocking down the dam that Dayu and others worked so hard to build. Ying Long told Yu Wang that this is a beautiful dragon of seven or eight years old, and the evil soul is too heavy to be corrected. So the tortoise took Dayu to a high mountain and saw the black dragon with a dazzling white horn on its head, frolicking and churning, making waves from time to time. Dayu told it, but it completely ignored it. Dayu then took out a small colored stone and put it on the tip of the turtle's tail. The stone immediately turned into a huge stone.

With a flick of the tortoise's tail, the sky draws a hazy rainbow-like arc, and the colorful stone just falls between the two dragon horns on the top of Oolong's forehead. Oolong said with a smile, I can't help this little flower stone.

But the colorful stones have been expanding. Soon, the dragon's horns tightened and it shook its head in pain. Colorful stones kept growing and finally surrendered to the dragon. From then on, Man Long became Dayu's right-hand man, at his disposal. Longquan Township is mentioned in Chuanglong Biography as being somewhere in Qinghai Province. In fact, is there Longquan Township in Qinghai Province? As mentioned earlier, almost every province has places named after "Dragon", and there are several places named after Longquan. Where is Longquan? It is generally believed to be Longquan County in Zhejiang Province today. Before the Tang Dynasty, it was called Longquan Township, and the county was established here in the Tang Dynasty. Longquan is named after a "Longquan sword". According to Yue Jueshu, a history book of the State of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Chu heard that there was a general in the State of Wu and a Ou Yezi in the State of Yue, both of whom were famous swordsmen. So he sent someone to ask two famous artists to cast some iron swords for Chu with heavy money. After applying, they dug through the mountain, drained the streams in the mountain, found the essence of iron ore, and forged three swords, one called Long Yuan, one called Taiya and the other called Gongbu. Later, in order to avoid the taboo of Tang Gaozu and Tang Gaozu, Longyuanjian was renamed Longquan Sword. Longquan County, Zhejiang Province, just mentioned, has a Jianchi Lake in the south of the county seat. According to legend, it is the place where Ou Yezi made swords, also known as Long Yuan, so this place is called Longquan.

But there are also several places called Longquan. In addition to Longquan County just now, there is also Longquan in Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province. According to "Notes on Water Classics", the water pattern in the spring eye has become the shape of a dragon, so livestock dare not drink water here. There is also a Longquan in Xiping County, Henan Province. Ancient books say that you can sharpen your sword this spring to make the blade strong. There is a Longquan field in Jiangxi. Longquan County was once established in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it is now called Suichuan County. There is a Longquan Ping in Guizhou, which was also called Longquan County in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and later changed to Quanfeng County and Fenggang County. So, is there Longquan Township in Qinghai Province? There is nothing in the available materials. There may be a small village or town named this, but it is not clear whether it can really lead to Kunlun.
