Folk stories about the Yellow River?

Folk stories related to the Yellow River:

Thousands of years ago, many clans and tribes lived in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins of China. Among them, Huangdi was the most famous tribal leader in the Yellow River Basin. Another famous tribal leader was called Emperor Yan. Huangdi and Yandi are brothers. There is a Jiuli tribe in the Yangtze River Basin. Their leader is named Chi You, who is very powerful. ? Chi You had eighty-one brothers, all of them had animal bodies and human faces, and were extremely fierce with bronze heads and iron arms. They are good at making various weapons such as knives and crossbows. Chi You often led his powerful tribes to invade and harass other tribes. ?

Once, Chi You invaded the place of Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan raised an army to resist, but he was no match for Chi You and was completely defeated by Chi You. Emperor Yan had no choice but to flee to Zhuolu, where Huangdi was, to ask for help. Huangdi had long wanted to get rid of the scourge of this tribe, so he united the leaders of the tribes and launched a decisive battle with Chi You in the fields of Zhuolu. This is the famous "Zhuolu Battle". ?

At the beginning of the war, Chi You relied on good weapons and brave soldiers to win consecutive victories. Later, Huangdi invited dragons and other strange beasts to help him fight. Although Chi You's soldiers were fierce, they couldn't resist Huang Di's army and these beasts, so they all fled. ?

The Yellow Emperor led his soldiers to pursue the victory. Suddenly, the sky turned dark, the ground was dark, the fog was thick, the wind was strong, thunder and lightning were blowing, and it rained heavily. The Yellow Emperor's soldiers could not continue to pursue. It turned out that Chi You invited the "Wind God" and "Rain God" to help him fight. Not to be outdone, the Yellow Emperor invited the "Drought God" from the sky to help disperse the wind and rain. In an instant, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the sky was clear. ?

Chi You used witchcraft to create a heavy fog, which made Huang Di's soldiers lose their way. Huang Di took advantage of the phenomenon that the Big Dipper always pointed north in the sky and built a "guide car" to guide the soldiers out of the fog. ?

After many fierce battles, Huang Di killed eighty-one of Chi You's brothers and finally captured Chi You alive. Huang Di ordered Chi You to be put in shackles and then executed. Because he was afraid of causing trouble after Chi You's death, his head and body were buried in two places far apart. The shackles that Chi You wore were thrown on the barren mountains and turned into a maple forest. Every blood-red maple leaf was stained with Chi You's blood. ?

After Chi You's death, his brave image was still feared. Huangdi painted his image on the military flag to encourage his troops to fight bravely and to intimidate tribes who dared to oppose him. . Later, Huangdi received support from many tribes and gradually became the leader of all tribes. ?

The Yellow Emperor was versatile and had many inventions and creations, such as building palaces, cars, ships, making five-color clothes, etc. Leizu, Huangdi's wife, was also an inventor. Originally, silkworms were only wild, and people didn’t know the uses of silkworms. It was Leizu who taught people how to raise silkworms, reel silk, and weave silk. From then on, silk civilization began to exist in China. After Huangdi invented the pavilion, she also invented a movable pavilion on rainy days-the umbrella. ?

The legends of ancient China all highly praised the Yellow Emperor. Later generations believed that the Yellow Emperor was the ancestor of the Chinese people and that they themselves were descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Because the Yandi and Huangdi tribes were originally close relatives and later merged together, the Chinese often call themselves descendants of Yan and Huang. In order to commemorate this legendary ancestor of the Yellow Emperor, the Chinese also built a "Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor" on Qiaoshan in the north of Huangling County, Shaanxi Province, on the edge of the Yellow River. Every spring, Chinese representatives from all over the world gather here to worship the founder of the Chinese nation.

Legend has it that a long time ago, the ancient Yellow River was a wild horse that was difficult to tame. It ran at will, like a grinning monster, roaring day and night, surging incessantly, devouring thousands of hectares of fertile land. With millions of mountains gnawing at them, the Hui Han people on both sides of the Yellow River can only live a life of slash-and-burn farming on the tops of the mountains and at the bottom of the ditches.

At that time, Ningxia was not a flat plain, but was covered with overlapping green mountains and crisscrossing ravines. There was no flat field, and no field could be filled with water from the Yellow River.

Legend has it that there are several households of Hui and Han people living on Niushou Mountain. Several generations of them carry water at the bottom of the mountain and farm on the top of the mountain. The old and the young are busy all the time, but they don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes to wear. No one can bear this torture for a long time.

One year, an old man named De, who was over seventy years old, opened a melon orchard on the mountain and planted some cucumbers. He got up early every day and went to the Yellow River to water the cucumbers. His shoulders were swollen and the soles of his feet were peeling. He carefully cultivated the cucumbers, and they grew tender and sweet.

The old man De was tired that day and fell asleep lying on the vegetable garden door.

As soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed of a white cloud floating in the sky. Gradually, the white cloud turned into a white-bearded imam, trembling his silver beard, and said to Mr. De: "Today there is an imam." You should pay attention to the two strong winds. There is a yellow wind at noon, which can make cucumbers wither; and there is a black wind in the afternoon, which can make cucumbers fall off. >

When the old man woke up, he saw that the white-bearded imam was no longer there. Instead, he saw that the yellow wind from the north was blowing all over the sky and came to Niushou Mountain. I felt very sad that a year's hard work had been wasted, but when I thought of the white-bearded imam's words, I didn't move.

At noon, a black wind passed by, shaking the mountains and shaking the leaves, and dropped a layer of leaves. Another layer. The old man saw that the cucumber was about to fall to the ground. He was so angry that he picked off a small and wilted cucumber and threw it into the Yellow River. It was like a god cutting it with a knife. Chu Di saw the bottom of the river. When the old man swooped down, the river suddenly closed up again. The old man was tired and hungry. He sat on the river bank, blinking, and the golden flowers were dancing, feeling dizzy. I don’t know anymore.

At this time, the old man De heard the white-bearded imam say again, "This cucumber is the key to conquering the Yellow River. It can stop the Yellow River from flowing, and it can also make the Yellow River listen to others. But now the Yellow River is tormenting the two Iblis, Huang Feng and Black Wind. You cannot be impatient, you must be patient, and you must work harder. Next year, you plant another garden of cucumbers. When the cucumbers are ripe, you pick the largest one and throw it into the Yellow River. At that time, you walked into the cave at the bottom of the river. You could pick out the jewelry, get the grain, and even have a sword that could slay dragons and monsters, and tame the Yellow River. Wherever you pointed, the Yellow River water would flow. ”

The next year, the industrious old man from Germany planted another garden of cucumbers. He was not afraid of the long journey and did not hesitate to sweat, carrying water from the Yellow River to water the melons. The hard work paid off, and in the end, the garden There was a three-foot-long cucumber inside, which looked like a key. The old man happily slept in the melon garden day and night until the melon was ripe.

On this day, the weather was so clear that there was no cloud. The old man picked off the three-foot-long cucumber, said "Tasmi", and threw it into the Yellow River. At this time, he heard a roar from the Yellow River, and a long crack was opened, and the stones on the bottom of the river could be clearly seen. Chu. The old man went down to the bottom of the river and saw a hole near the river bank. There were all kinds of pearls and agates in the hole. When he just walked out, he heard a strong wind roaring and waves rolling on the river. After a wave, the old man Gerd picked up his sword and slashed dozens of swords at the black whirlwind and yellow whirlwind.

At this time, the Yellow River broke. Gradually, the old man remembered the white-bearded imam's instructions that this sword could conquer the Yellow River. He became enlightened and thought: I will let the Yellow River fill the trenches and level the mountain ridges. Holding two swords, the old man marched towards the Yellow River. The water of the Yellow River stopped flowing suddenly, as if there was a Great Wall in front of it, but it was getting higher and higher, which looked really scary from a distance.

Three days later, it reached Liupan Mountain in the south and Liupan Mountain in the west. As far as Helan Mountain, there was water everywhere, leaving only a few mountain peaks. Only then did the old man draw his sword and let the water of the Yellow River flow forward.

From then on, Ningxia became a mountainous place with deep ravines. It became a smooth river, and the Hui Han people living on both sides of the Yellow River relied on their hard-working hands to dig canals and cultivate fields, and lived a happy life.

Myths and legends:

Government by Dayu. There are three treasures in the Yellow River: the first is the river map; the second is the mountain-breaking ax; and the third is the water-avoiding sword. It is said that the river map was given to Dayu by the Yellow River water god He Bo.

In ancient times, in Huayintong. There was a man named Feng Yi in his hometown who was worried about farming and wanted to become an immortal. He heard that people could become immortals by drinking the juice of daffodils for a hundred days, so he looked for daffodils everywhere.

Before Dayu regulated the Yellow River, it had no fixed river course and overflowed everywhere, often causing disasters. Feng Yi ran here and there looking for daffodils. He often crosses the Yellow River, crosses the Yellow River, and often interacts with the Yellow River. Ninety-nine days later, he finds a daffodil and sucks its juice for one day, and he becomes an immortal. Then he crossed the Yellow River and went to a small village to find daffodils. The water here was not deep. Feng Yi waded across the river. When he reached the middle of the river, the water suddenly rose. He panicked, slipped and fell into the Yellow River, where he was drowned alive.

After Feng Yi's death, he was full of grievances and resentment. He hated the Yellow River with gnashing of teeth, and went to the Jade Emperor to complain about the Yellow River's condition. The Jade Emperor was also very angry when he heard that no one was controlling the Yellow River, and it was flowing wildly everywhere, endangering the people. Seeing that Feng Yi had sucked the juice of the ninety-nine-day narcissus flower and was about to become an immortal, he asked Feng Yi if he would like to become the Yellow River Water God and regulate the Yellow River. Feng Yi was overjoyed. Full of agreement. This way, he can fulfill his wish to become an immortal, and secondly, he can avenge himself for being drowned.

Feng Yi became the water god of the Yellow River and was known as He Bo. He had never had to control floods before, so he suddenly took on the task of regulating the Yellow River. He was helpless and worried. What to do? Since I was not very knowledgeable and had no magical skills, I had no choice but to ask the Jade Emperor for advice. The Jade Emperor told him that in order to manage the Yellow River well, we must first understand the water conditions of the Yellow River and draw a river map. With the water conditions and river map of the Yellow River as a basis, it will be much easier to manage the Yellow River.

He Bo followed the Jade Emperor's instructions and was determined to draw a river map. He first went to his hometown and wanted to ask the villagers for help. The villagers all hated him for being idle and indolent, and no one paid him any attention. He went to the old man in the village and told him about his ambition to control the Yellow River. Later, when the old man saw that he had become an immortal and wanted to do something good for the people, he agreed to help him. From then on, Hebo and Hou Laohan traveled through mountains and rivers in all weathers to observe the water conditions of the Yellow River. The two of them ran away for several years, which finally made the old man sick from exhaustion. Later, the old man had no choice but to go back, leaving He Bo to continue observing the water conditions along the Yellow River. When they parted, the old man Hou repeatedly told He Bo that he should work hard to the end and not give up halfway. He would start regulating the Yellow River after drawing the map. Since there were not enough manpower, he persuaded the villagers to help.

Checking water conditions and drawing river maps is a hard job. By the time He Bo finished drawing the river, he was already old and weak. He Bo looked at the river map and clearly drew where the Yellow River is deep and where it is shallow; where it is easy to break the embankment and where it is easy to burst; where it should be dug and where it should be blocked; where the water can be cut off and where the flood can be drained. I can only lament that I don’t have the strength to regulate the Yellow River according to the plan, which is very sad. He Bo thought that one day there would be a capable person to manage the Yellow River. At that time, granting him the river map would mean that he had not worried in vain.

He Bo spent his remaining years peacefully under the Yellow River and never appeared again. Unexpectedly, the Yellow River continued to rise and flooded frequently. The people knew that the Jade Emperor sent He Bo to control the water, but they did not see his face. They all scolded He Bo for not fulfilling his duties and not caring about the lives of the people.

The old man looked forward to Hebo every day in his hospital bed, and they didn't see him for several years. He was worried about the management of the Yellow River and wanted to find He Bo. His son's name was Yi, and he was a master of archery. No matter what the old man said, Yi would not let him go to He Bo. Later, the old man refused to listen to his son's dissuasion. As a result, he encountered a burst in the Yellow River and was washed away and drowned. Even his body was not found. Hou Yi hated He Bo very much and said through gritted teeth that he would shoot He Bo to death sooner or later.

Later, when Dayu came out to control the floods, Hebo decided to give him the Yellow River map.

On this day, Hebo heard that Dayu came to the Yellow River with a mountain-opening ax and a water-avoiding sword, so he came out from the bottom of the water with the river map to look for Dayu. He Bo and Dayu had never met before, and they did not recognize each other. He Bo walked for a long time and was so tired that he wanted to take a rest when he saw a young man walking on the other side of the river. This young man was brave and majestic, he must be Dayu, so He Bo shouted and asked: "Hey, who are you?"

The young man on the other side was not Dayu, but Hou Yi. He looked up and saw an immortal old man shouting from the other side of the river, and asked: "Who are you?"

He Bo said loudly: "I am He Bo. You are Dayu." When Hou Yi heard that it was He Bo, he immediately became angry and sneered, saying, "I am Dayu." As he spoke, he drew his bow and drew an arrow, "whoosh". The arrow hit He Bo's left eye. He Bo pulled out the arrow and covered his eyes, sweating from the pain. He cursed in his heart: "Damn Dayu, you are so unreasonable!" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he went to tear up the water map. At this moment, there was a sudden shout: "He Bo! Don't tear up the picture." He Bo reluctantly looked with his right eye and saw a man wearing a bamboo hat on the other side, stopping Hou Yi. This man was Dayu. He knew that He Bo had drawn a map of the Yellow River and was about to ask He Bo for advice. Hou Yi pushed Dayu away and stretched his bow again. Dayu grabbed him tightly and told He Bo about the difficulties of drawing pictures. Hou Yi regretted his rashness and shot He Bo out of his left eye.

Hou Yi waded across the river with Dayu. Hou Yi admitted his fault to He Bo. Hebo knew that Hou Yi was the son of Hou Laohan, so he didn't blame him much. Dayu said to He Bo: "I am Dayu, and I came to you specifically to ask for advice on how to regulate the Yellow River."

He Bo said: "My efforts and methods of regulating the river are all on this map. , grant it to you now.

"

When Dayu showed the picture, he saw that the picture was densely packed with circles, clearly depicting the up and down, left and right water conditions of the Yellow River. Dayu was very happy. He wanted to thank him. He Bo, when he raised his head, He Bo leaped into the Yellow River and disappeared.

Dayu obtained the map of the water conditions of the Yellow River. He worked day and night and based on the instructions on the map, he finally controlled the Yellow River.
