Liangzhu-Folk Stories

Yonghe, Eastern Jin Dynasty, March 9th. One day, Liang Guanghan of Shangliang Village in Huiji County attached great importance to his middle-aged son and invited Mr. Literacy to name his son. Mr. Wang said to Liang Guanghan: "When dealing with people, we should attach importance to benevolence and morality, and use the word' Chu people'." You live in a mountain village, and it is rare for your first son to be called' Shanbo'. " Liang Guanghan and his wife are very satisfied with this. Sambo has been smart and superman since he was a child. By the age of four or five, listening to stories told by adults can not only be remembered once, but also passed on to children in the neighborhood. Settle the accounts clearly. Go up the mountain to cut wood, feed the sheep and chickens, and be diligent and capable. When he 12 years old, one day, he saw several rich children carrying book boxes to study. Little uncle is envious. He followed the reading room curiously and looked around on the windowsill. I saw an old gentleman shaking his head and teaching. He felt very fresh and unconsciously remembered what he had read and explained. When Mr. Wang checked the students' recitation, one of them couldn't go on reciting. Liang Shanbo outside the window smiled and couldn't help reciting. Mr. Wang was surprised when he heard someone reciting the text outside. After he came out, he became a clever and delicate child, which was very likable. The teacher asked, "Son, why don't you go to school?" Shan Bo politely replied: "There is no money for me to go to school at home." Mr. Wang is very interested in cultivating this clever child, so he asks Shan Bo to take him home. Mr. Wang said to Liang Guanghan, "I think this child is very clever and will succeed in the future." "Their children have to pay three and a half bushels of rice to study, but I don't accept a grain of rice from your children. Books and stationery are funded by me." Hearing this, Liang Guanghan was very happy. He thought, if several generations of my family can't read, it would be good if my son can read, so he agreed to Mr. Wang's request .. Uncle Hill thanked Mr. Wang and bowed deeply. Sure enough, Shanbo is studying at school, with four books and five classics, and he never forgets anything; Poetry and composition are very convincing. After three years of study, Mr. Wang is naturally very happy and talented, ranking first every year. But on second thought, the child has no books to read here. For his future, it is better to send him to the famous teacher of Siming College in the city for further study. Out of love, Mr. Wang persuaded Shanbo's parents to help him pay the tuition fee of 122 silver, and wrote a letter to a famous teacher to introduce Liang Shanbo to school. In spring, Liang Shanbo bid farewell to his parents and politely declined his tutor. With a bamboo book box on his shoulder and dry food with him, he traveled east along the river day and night and arrived at the lower city of Siming Mountain. Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. One day I came to the ferry and crossed the river by boat to the city. When I boarded the ship, I met a scholar-like man, and there was an extremely boy next to him, who picked up a bookcase. Two-thirds of his peers, Liang Shanbo came forward and asked, "May I ask your name, where is your home and where are you traveling?" I saw that the other party replied politely: "My name is Zhu, my name is Yingtai, and I am from Zhujiazhuang. I am going to Siming City to study as a teacher. " Hearing it alone, I am very happy to be like-minded. Say your name and address at once. He also said: "You and I are only separated by a few mountains, belonging to Huiji County and fellow villagers. I only have a little knowledge, please give me your advice. " Yingtai quickly said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it." The two of them talked endlessly on the boat and had a very speculative conversation. And the exchange age, Shan Bo 16 years old, Chang Yingtai 2 years old, the two sides are very intimate. Yin Xin, a bookboy of Yingtai, is very happy that Yingtai can meet such a kind and polite brother. When they arrived in this city, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai visited these famous teachers and settled down. Be assigned to study at the same table and share the same bed. It is said that Ben is a member of Zhujiazhuang, the ninth daughter of Zhu, because Zhujiajian has eight sons, and the youngest is a daughter, which is the apple of his eye at home. I have been smart since I was a child. But spoiled and willful. When I 14 years old, I actually pestered my parents to go to school. I wish you can't stand Yingtai's coquetry, so you agreed. But on second thought, it is impolite for girls to go out to study, which makes people laugh. He said to Yingtai, "Since ancient times, women have not gone to school. You'd better study calligraphy and read poetry at home." Yingtai had a brainwave and said, "Father and daughter have a clever plan. I disguised myself as a man and went to school far away from home. This will not damage my father's reputation. My daughter has made up her mind and can't change it. " My father advised the woman to take the lead. After a while, I finally wished the members a concession.

Now Zhu Liang comes to school in the city and shares the same bed. Because Liang Shanbo is honest and cautious, and because of Zhu Yingtai's strict precautions, he only drinks a glass of water when he sleeps at night. Although I occasionally expose the truth and Yingtai covers it up, Liang Shanbo didn't notice Yingtai's daughter after all. It is my classmate Ma Wencai who is always suspicious. Three years of classmates, with a flick of a finger. Yingtai missed her parents. When the letter to call her home arrived, she resigned and went home. Liang Zhu ocean deep, send him to Shili. At this time, Zhu Yingtai's love grew stronger and stronger. Along the way, Shimizu well was used as a metaphor. On the wooden bridge, compared with the magpie bridge, compared with the mandarin duck. Finally, it was revealed that the old man came to tie the knot under the moon until Changting said goodbye, and Liang Shanbo, who is honest and honest, never understood. At this moment, Zhu Yingtai had to take out the last chess piece and say to Liang Shanbo, "Brother Liang, you and I have been classmates for three years, which means a lot to you.". I want to propose to Brother Liang. " Shan Bo was very shy and blushed to his ears. Yingtai has the courage to never give up the last chance. She paused and said, "My family has a little nine sisters who are both talented and beautiful. She knows books and is polite. She and Brother Liang are a perfect match. What do you think of Brother Liang? " Uncle Shan quickly said, "Thank you, my dear brother." My family doesn't have much money, and there is no noble family. I'm afraid I don't deserve a virtuous sister. "Yingtai followed closely:" As long as Brother Liang is willing, little sister can't talk about property with your talent and personality. Please don't refuse. "Sambo listened to Yingtai, which makes sense. He entrusted the lifelong event to Yingtai. After leaving, Yingtai turned around and urged again and again: Brother Liang sent the media to propose marriage and get married as soon as possible. Don't get me wrong. Sambo has repeatedly promised. Goodbye pavilion, another year. One day, Liang Shanbo suddenly remembered Yingtai's parting entrustment and went to Zhujiazhuang to visit Yingtai. Shan Bo asked everyone at the head of the village: "Where is Yingtai's home? "People in the village said there was no such person. Walking under an ancient camphor tree, I met an old man with a good face. When Shan Bo came forward to ask, the old man smiled mysteriously and said, "I wish you a daughter of our village, nine niang, and write a good article. I think you're looking for her. "Shan Bo, out of shy instinct, quickly waved his hand and said," No, no, she is my classmate Yingtai's sister. I'm looking for her brother. "On second thought, it's okay. Anyway, I was looking for her home, and I quickly said, "Excuse me, grandpa, how can I get to her home?" The old man casually pointed and said, "The vermicelli wall of Zhumen in Zhuangdong is the residence of others. Shan Bo thanked the old man and hurried to Zhu Fu. Shan Bo went to Zhu Fu's house to ask for an audience. I hope Mr. W has been to Yingtai in the city several times and is familiar with Shanbo. So he made an exception and let Shan Bo meet in the boudoir to show his classmates' affection. When Sambo saw Yingtai, he knew it was his daughter. At this time, recalling the days when I shared a bed for three years, I felt ashamed and shook my head again and again. Nevertheless, Yingtai was generous and came forward to explain: "As a woman, how can I go to school like a man if I don't dress up as a man?" I really have to do this. Please forgive me, Brother Liang. " After a pause, Yingtai said, "Little Nine Sisters are Yingtai. Brother Liang, why didn't you propose to the media earlier? Now our classmate Ma Wencai's father, Ma Taishou, sent a matchmaker a few days ago and gave me a dowry. When my father came to see me at Siming Academy, he dropped in to see Ma Taishou, who lives in Huiji House in the west. He thought the Ma family was powerful and suitable, so he agreed to the Ma family and hoped to marry him. You and I are classmates, but it's too late. " Hearing this, Shan Bo regretted it very much. At the beginning, he gave me an eighteen-mile gift, and every sentence of Yingtai showed his true feelings, but he was ungrateful at all. I had to leave Yingtai painfully.

After Shanbo came home, his parents liked it very much, but when he saw Shanbo moping all day, sighing and asking questions repeatedly, he became silent and his body became thinner. This autumn, Jian Wendi of the imperial court recommended Liang Shanbo, who had good conduct and outstanding academic performance and won the first prize, to Siming Academy. One day, the emissary of Daotai in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province rode to report the good news: he was appointed as the prefect of Yinxian County. Liang Shanbo was determined to benefit the people, regardless of his private affairs, and took office in spite of illness at the age of 20. After taking office, manage the three rivers to ensure a bumper harvest of farmland; Help farmers control pests; Rectify the order in Yin Cheng and punish a group of lawless "local tyrants". In less than a year, people live and work in peace and contentment. Liang Shanbo is tired and disgusting. On August 16th, the following year, when patrolling the water level of Yaojiang spring tide, it collapsed in the Kowloon market in Qingyuan, Yinxi, and asked its officials to bury it on the spot to show their adherence to Yaojiang levee. At the same time, if Zhu Yingtai marries Sima's house, it is also the only place where ships pass, and Zhu Yingtai can see his grave. The story of Liang Shanbo's hard work and peace of mind is widely circulated among the people, and it has become a household name for a time, known to all women and children, and famous in Beijing. So Jin was named "King of Loyalty and Righteousness". Soon, at the age of eighteen, Ma's family urged him to get married. Zhu Yingtai was forced to get into a sedan chair and change to a big ship at the ferry to support Yao Jiang. When the ship arrived at the Kowloon market, the wind and waves suddenly became heavier and the ship could not travel. Yin Xin, the maid of Yingtai, was observant and found a new grave on the shore. She thought there was a reason for this, so she asked the boatman, "Whose grave is this?" The boatswain knew this family well, and he knew the story long ago, so he replied, "The hero of Lishan in Liang County." Yin Xin quietly told Yingtai. Yingtai heard this and said to the matchmaker, "I'm going ashore to visit Brother Liang, regardless of the red dress." The matchmaker didn't dare to decide, so he told the groom Ma Wencai. Ma Wencai was annoyed, but it was inconvenient to attack. He coaxed Zhu Yingtai into saying, "Honey, today is our big day. It's not good to sacrifice to the grave. Wait until the winter solstice or Tomb-Sweeping Day. " Yingtai has a cavity * * *, which is uncontrollable. She has a crush on Liang Shanbo and is determined to repay her early. If she doesn't live in pairs, she will die in the same grave. So he snapped at Ma Wencai, "If I don't promise, I'll throw myself into the river." Ma Wencai was afraid for a while, and the wind and waves became bigger and bigger. He also wanted to take shelter from the wind, so he quickly agreed and ordered the savage to dock the boat. Yingtai took off her wedding dress, revealing a white suit, supported by the maid Yin Xin, and went straight to Liang Shanbo's grave. Suddenly, dark clouds were gathering, lightning flashed and thundered, and a flash of lightning flashed overhead. The top of Liang Shanbo's tomb split in two, and Yingtai jumped into the grave. Yin Xin hurried to pull, only pulled off a skirt horn, and the grave was closed again, leaving only a crack in the middle of the tombstone. As soon as Yin Xinyi released her skirt horn, it immediately turned into two big butterflies and flew into the wind. When Ma Wencai saw this, he immediately jumped off the boat and came here with several servants. Seeing that Yingtai was buried without any shadow, he flushed and ordered to dig a grave. Unexpectedly, two big snakes appeared beside the tomb, with blue eyes, white neck, wide mouth and poisonous tongue. Ma Wencai and assume frightened to disgrace, and turned to flee, scrambling to jump into the hut, called wild hurriedly shake back to the horse home in the west corridor. Immediately, the clouds opened at sunrise and a rainbow flew over the Kowloon market. A pair of colorful butterflies are flying freely on the top of Liang Shanbo's tomb. Locals say this is the spirit incarnation of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. When things reached the court, Xie An, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, felt the friendship and wrote a manuscript to the court with the inscription "The Tomb of the Adored Daughter". For thousands of years, the tomb of Liang Zhu in Gao Qiao, Yinxian County has been worshipped by countless loving couples. Since then, this wonderful and touching story has been sung in Ningbo for generations.
