Ancient myths and legends of China

According to legend, Hou Yi and Chang 'e were both Yao people. According to the myth, during the Yao period, ten suns appeared in the sky at the same time, scorching the land and drying the crops. People are breathless and unconscious. Due to the hot weather, some strange birds and animals also ran out from the dry rivers and lakes and the fiery forests, causing harm to people everywhere.

The human disaster alarmed the gods in heaven, and the heavenly emperor Chang Jun ordered Hou Yi, who was good at archery, to come down to earth to help Yao get rid of the people's suffering. Hou Yi came to the world with a red bow, a bag of white arrows and his beautiful wife Chang 'e.

Hou Yi immediately started shooting at the sun. He took the red bow from his shoulder, took out the white arrows and shot them at his arrogant grandson one by one. In an instant, nine out of ten suns were shot. It was only because Yao thought that leaving a grandson was useful to the people that Hou Yi was prevented from continuing shooting. This is the story of the famous Houyi Shooting Day.

However, Hou Yi's great achievements were envied by other gods, who went to the Heaven Emperor to spread rumors and slander, so that the Heaven Emperor finally alienated Hou Yi and sentenced him to the world forever. After being wronged, Hou Yi and his wife Chang 'e had to live in seclusion and hunt for a living by Hou Yi.

The Goddess Chang's fly to the moon

After shooting nine scorching suns in the second year, the sun and the moon complement each other, and the whole world has been cold ever since. The Jade Emperor saw his merits and asked the Queen Mother of the West to give him the elixir of life and let him eat it on a full moon night. Included in the list of immortals, and given a Guanghan Palace. Zhiyun "is fifteen as silver, Qionglou Yuyu can climb high, the whole world looks up, and the next day it will be sung forever."

The following year, he received an imperial edict and told his sister Chang 'e that Chang 'e was a good sister. The next year will always tell her something, happiness, pain, pride and frustration. Whenever Chang 'e always listens, her signature is her smile, and no one has ever seen her cry. The next year, she got the imperial edict from the Jade Emperor. She remembered Chang 'e, who was still so pale: "If you feel good, go!" " ! ",as if nothing had happened to her. The happiness of the second year suddenly became irrelevant.

The night of the fifteenth came, and the next year I came to see Sister Chang 'e. My sister leaned against the door and looked at her.

"Are you leaving today?"

"yes"

"It's a nice day?"

"It should be good. Everything in the sky is good. " Hou Yi has infinite longing in his eyes.

"Maybe!" Chang 'e said nothing more. Still that smile.

The following year, I looked at Chang 'e thoughtfully.

"Come on, it's Friday, you and me, three people a month, why don't we get drunk?" Said the following year.

The moonlight on the horizon is covered by clouds, but the sky is not so round. Chang 'e noticed this, and there was a smile on her mouth.

"I woke up and had sex, and then I got drunk and we lost each other." The in the mind difficult said. Turned his head, tears streaming down. Tears flowed down the glass with the temperature. Chang 'e's body swayed slightly.

Chang 'e, what's wrong with you? "

Chang 'e turned to "nothing" and suddenly smiled.

"In another year, when you go to heaven, will you still miss me?"

"Yes, I will come to see you often." I couldn't believe it when I said this the next year. Heaven on earth originally belonged to two worlds. Is this a farewell? I couldn't bear to think of it the next year.

"One day in the sky, underground for many years, you go up and turn for a month, and my sister belongs to that short matsuoka. Don't lie to your sister to be happy, just remember your sister. " Chang 'e still smiled faintly. Maybe she wants to cry, but she laughs too much.

The next year, I looked at this woman and smiled as always. Did you just leave? Did you leave the woman who waited for me to come back in the sunset every day, gently brushed the dust off my body and gave me a gentle smile? Did you leave the woman who always inspired me to do it bravely and fearlessly? You left those years of drinking, chatting and snuggling up to each other? The next year, I found myself inseparable from this woman, her smile and her concern. And these things can only be felt when they are lost.

However, this woman is always faint, and she can still smile so beautifully without me. I may never see her again, so let me remember that she smiles really well. The next year, I thought so.

Raise your glass and drink it up. This wine has a bitter taste. It's strange that drinking this wine can be so painful. Raise your head the following year.

Chang 'e's eyes, as bright as autumn water, look back at her next year with deep affection, and her eyes are opposite ... After discovering her smile, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks. He finally understood the bitterness of wine. Chang 'e will also suffer.

There is no strong wind, no lightning, and Qiu Chan, the branch, becomes extraordinarily quiet at this moment.

"It's a nice day?" Chang 'e asked.

I don't know, but I know it's best now.

A bright moon floated out of the clouds, and the red moon reflected in the eyes of Chang 'e and the year after. They stared for a long time.

This is a wonderful time, but what am I doing? Do you know what to do? "Chang 'e smiled, smiling like a white lotus blooming in moonlight like water.

Of course I know. '

"Chang 'e, enjoy the moon!" Then shouted excitedly.

Now they can enjoy the moonlight to their heart's content, and the next year they hold Chang 'e and Chang 'e sings that song.

When does the bright moon ask Qingtian wine?

I don't know what year it is today.

………………………….

…………………………….

Wish people a long time.

Postscript:

When I announced this story to the public, a man named Feng Meng told another story. This is well known to ........................................................................................................................................................ Of course, Feng Meng thinks ... think about how such a brave and innocent person ended up in such a miserable situation the next year. Feng Meng made it all up. Because no one has seen them since. They have been sailing in the same boat for a long time, traveling around the world and living a fairy-like life.

But then again, fortunately, there will be no heaven in the next year. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, the jade emperor said that he would let the year after next go to heaven. In fact, he wants to avenge several children. Scientists have all seen the Guanghan Palace. There is nothing but large and small pits and some gravel, and it is half hot and half cold. Is that where people live? It can be said that Chang 'e's love saved him. This fifteen, the fairy couple must be enjoying the moon somewhere. The sea rises and the moon rises, and the horizon at this time is * * *. Don't miss the good time, and enjoy the moon quickly!

The years in the grid are lonely, difficult, limited and boring. However, be lonely.

Let you hear the voice in your heart, let you wake up and grow up; Difficulties make you work hard and stand up straight.

You won't know the preciousness of freedom and cherish the collection until you overcome the high mountains and dangerous beaches.

Boredom, it allows you to shout boredom innocently once in a while, but do something meaningful to yourself.

Looking back on that time, I am proud of everything and have your story in it.

This is our story.

A symbol of Jingwei's reclamation/tenacious determination

Governing and transforming nature requires tenacious spirit. Emperor Yan, the sun god, had a little daughter named Nu Wa, who was his favorite daughter. Emperor Yan not only manages the sun, but also manages food and medicinal materials. He has many things to do. He goes to the East China Sea early every morning to direct the sun to rise, and doesn't go home until the sun goes down.

Emperor Yan is not at home, and the girl plays alone. She really wants her father to take her out and see where the sun rises in the East China Sea. But my father is busy with business and always doesn't take her. On this day, the girl rowed the boat alone and came to the place where the sun rose in the East China Sea. Unfortunately, there was a storm at sea and the boat capsized like a mountain wave. The girl was swallowed up by the ruthless sea and never came back. Emperor Yan missed his daughter, but he couldn't bring her back to life with drugs, so he had to lament alone.

When the baby girl died, her soul turned into a bird with a flower head, a white shell and red claws, and gave a cry of "Jingwei, Jingwei", so people also called this bird "Jingwei".

Jingwei hates the ruthless sea for taking her young life, and she wants to avenge herself. So, she kept taking a pebble or a twig from the pigeon hill where she lived, spreading her wings and flying to the East China Sea. She went back to the rough sea, groaning, throwing stones and branches, trying to fill the sea.

The sea roared and laughed at her: "bird, forget it." You won't fill the sea if you work for a million years. "

Jingwei answered the sea at high altitude: "Even if you work for 10 million years, 10 million years, until the end of the universe and the end of the world, I will fill you up eventually!" "

"Why do you hate me so much?"

"Because you took my young life, you will take many young and innocent lives in the future. I will work endlessly, and one day I will fill you up. "

Jingwei flew and sang, left the sea and flew back to Faduo Foshan to get stones and branches. Holding and throwing, she flew back and forth for several years and never stopped. Later, Jingwei and Haiyan got married and gave birth to many birds. The females were like Jingwei and the males were like Haiyan. Little Jingwei, like their mother, also went to pick up stones and fill the sea. Until today, they are still doing this kind of work.

People sympathize with and admire Jingwei, calling it "the bird of injustice", "the bird of oath", "the bird of ambition" and "the bird of emperor", and erecting a monument on the East China Sea, which is called "the land where Jingwei swears water".

Kuafu's Daily Story

Kuafu is a fairy tale every day. It tells the story of Kuafu, an ancient man of God, who chased the sun and was finally roasted to death by the sun. The ancient book Shan Hai Jing described this in detail: "Kuafu left Japan by car. When he entered Japan, he was thirsty and wanted to drink water. Drinking in the river, Wei, River, Wei is insufficient; Drinking osawa in the north, but before he arrived, he died of thirst. Abandon its staff and become a Deng (peach) forest. "

This account says: Kuafu chased the sun to the edge, and was thirsty because of the heat. It's not enough to drink the river. He wants to drink the water from the swamp, but he's dying of thirst. Walking sticks were abandoned by the roadside, competing to grow into peach groves.

Why does Kuafu chase the sun?

The daily stories that Mr. Yang thinks have profound memory significance.

Explain that "only those who pay attention to time and race against the sun can walk fast;" The faster you walk, the more empty you feel in your stomach, so you can need and accept more water (think of water as a symbol of knowledge); Only by getting more water can we race against time and not lag behind it. "Mr. Yang's point of view has been included in the book China Literature, which has won the approval of many comrades.

In addition, the writer Xiao Bing said in his book "Fire Heroes: Kuafu and Prometheus" that praising you day after day is to collect kindling for mankind and make the earth bright and warm. Kuafu is a "fire thief hero" and Prometheus of China.

Mr. Xiao's views are quite romantic.

Others regard Kuafu as a struggle of nature day after day, with Kuafu representing "water" and the sun representing "fire". The water god and the fire god contend, and water and fire are incompatible.

Kuafu's daily stories give people rich imagination and profound enlightenment. How to understand this story is not only a concern of academic circles, but its positive significance lies in that people understand the world with their own different understandings and realize their own beautiful pursuit.

Xing Tian Wu gan qi

Tianxing is also called Xingtian. Shan Hai Jing's overseas western classics: Xingtian and the emperor fought for God here, and the emperor cut off his head and buried it in yangshan. It takes the breast as the eye and the navel as the mouth, which is a kind of dance. The background of this incident is that after Chiyou was defeated and beheaded, the Emperor of Heaven here was Xuanyuan Huangdi. Xingtian, giant, subordinate of Emperor Yan. He was quite dissatisfied with the Yellow Emperor's oppression of Emperor Yan by force. Although he didn't take part in Chiyou's Yellow Emperor Raiders, he still wanted to die. After Chiyou was killed in failure, he could no longer resist the resentment in his heart, so he went to the Yellow Emperor for a one-on-one fight. However, it seems a bit unreasonable to fight for the throne on one's own. Now it is generally said that it is fair to Emperor Yan and Chiyou, or that he really coveted the throne. Xingtian fights the Yellow Emperor with his hands. But it was beyond my ability, and I was finally defeated and beheaded like Chiyou. The head was buried in Changyang Mountain by the Yellow Emperor, but the body remained in place. So Xingtian's body began to be dissatisfied, using two nipples as eyes and a round navel as mouth.

Nu Wa made man

"Peaceful Magnolia": Before Nu Wa made people, she made chickens on the first day of the first month, dogs on the second day, sheep on the third day, pigs on the fourth day and horses on the sixth day. On the seventh day, Nu Wa made a small clay figurine out of loess and water, imitating her own appearance. She made batch after batch, and thought it was too slow, so she used crutches. In order to make human beings pass on forever, she created a wedding ceremony, acted as a matchmaker herself, let people know the method of "making people" and carry on the family line by her own strength. Another legend, unique, is that Nu Wa and Fuxi are brother and sister. At the beginning of the universe, there were only two brothers and sisters between heaven and earth. At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, there was no one else in the world. I want to be husband and wife, but I am ashamed. My brother and sister immediately went to Kunlun Mountain and cursed: "If God agrees to marry my brother and sister, please gather all the clouds in the sky or disperse them." . So the clouds in the sky immediately closed, and they became husband and wife, and the Chinese nation was their descendants.

Nvwa Patches up the Sky

In the cosmic era, the water god Gong Gong and the fire god Zhu Rong fought for some reason, and finally Zhu Rong defeated the water god Gong Gong. The Water God Gong Gong was ashamed and resentful because of losing, but it was a pillar that supported the sky, and it was broken. The big pillar that supported the heaven and the earth was broken, and the sky fell in half, and a big hole appeared. Mankind is facing an unprecedented disaster.

Nu Wa witnessed such a strange disaster and felt very painful, so she decided to mend the sky to end it. She chose various colored stones, set them on fire and melted them into mud, filled the hole with this mud, and then cut off four feet of a chinemys reevesii as four pillars to support half the collapsed sky. Nu Wa also captured and killed the black dragon, which killed the people, and stopped the arrogance of the dragon and snake. Finally, in order to prevent flooding, Nuwa also collected a large number of reeds, burned them into ashes and buried them in the flood that spread everywhere.

After some efforts and rectification by Nu Wa, the sky was finally filled up, the land was filled up, the water stopped, the dragons, snakes and beasts disappeared, and the people lived a happy life again. But after all, this catastrophic disaster left its mark. Since then, the sky is still tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars naturally return to the west, and because the ground is tilted to the southeast, all the rivers gather there. When the rainbow appears in the sky, it is the colorful light of our great Nuwa.

Nu Wa has worked hard. In Dou Yun Shu Yuan Ming Pao in the Western Han Dynasty, Nu Wa and her brothers Fuxi and Shennong were listed as Huang San at the beginning of the Chinese nation. They tasted hundreds of herbs and saved countless lives.
