What are the myths and legends in Taihu Lake?

1, it is said that one day a long time ago, the Queen Mother was going to celebrate her birthday, and the Jade Emperor asked Si donkey kong to bring a generous gift. The queen mother was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth. It turns out that the Jade Emperor gave me a big silver basin.

There are 72 super-large jadeites in it, as well as all kinds of birds and animals carved with colorful jadeites, which is simply a cornucopia; From a distance, it still looks like a delicate bonsai, and all the immortals are full of praise.

Anyone who has seen The Journey to the West knows that the Queen Mother held a flat peach party and didn't invite her to finish. As a result, the Monkey King, the Great Sage of Monkey, lost his temper and made a scene in Heaven. He typed the same thing when he saw it. When he saw the big silver basin sent by the jade emperor, he didn't care.

As soon as the stick was hit, the silver basin fell from the sky and hit a big hole in the ground. Silver turned into sparkling water, forming a 36,000-hectare lake, and the lake fell from the sky.

The one above the word "Tian" falls below it, which is the word "Tai", so this lake is called "Taihu Lake". 72 jadeites make up 72 peaks, which are distributed in the middle of Taihu Lake.

Jade carving fish is a silverfish with white muscles and tender and delicious meat in Taihu Lake. The jade carving birds became pairs of mandarin ducks. Only animals didn't survive.

Legend has it that a long time ago, a child named Huang Erlang came to Wang Xiucai to study in a private school in Wuxi Town. Because the clothes the child is wearing are covered with yellow mud, everyone calls him Huang Nilang.

But he always sleeps at his desk when he goes to school. When Teacher Wang asks him why he always sleeps when studying, Huang Nilang always keeps silent. Once, after Huang Nilang woke up, her husband said angrily, "Are you here to study?"

He was forced by her husband to tell the truth: "Sir, I didn't sleep. When I heard someone calling for help in Taihu Lake, I was going to save them. " "Sir, where do you believe it?" That's bullshit！ How can you save the boat when you sleep on the stage? "

Huang Nilang said, "Sir, if you don't believe me, you can go and have a look. The five rescued ships have entered the dock creek port. " Mr. Wang sent another student to see it. When the students arrived in wuxi port, five boatmen were talking about it.

He said, "Thanks to a child in yellow who saved us." When the students came back to tell Mr. Wang about it, Mr. Wang was dubious. Once, Huang Nilang fell asleep again. Mr. Wang deliberately hid one of his shoes.

Huang Nilang woke up, jumping, crying and cursing. The gentleman asked, "Why are you crying? What? " Huang Nilang said angrily, "Who hid my shoes? I looked for it for a long time, but I couldn't find it. I had to wear a shoe, but I was late. Ten ships saved eight.

The other two ships hit the rocks, so I took off a shoe to plug the leak in one ship, and the other ship had nothing to plug the leak, so I sank. "Hearing this, Mr. Wang didn't believe it, so he went to the port to check it himself.

As soon as they arrived at the port, the boatmen were talking about it and said, "Thanks to Huang Nilang, he saved our boat and our lives. Mr. Wang went back to his study and said regretfully, "son, I shouldn't have hidden your shoes. They killed a boat." "

Say that finish, take out the hidden shoes. Huang Nilang said, "Since I have used it, I will go barefoot." From then on; Wang Xiucai knew that the student had a good reason. When he met Huang Nilang sleeping, he never bothered him again.

Once, Huang Nilang fell asleep while studying. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Mr. Wang took a fan and sat opposite to help him fan it. When he saw himself sweating, the more he fanned. After the fan, Huang Nilang's sweat dried up, but his pores were bleeding.

Before long, the man died. Mr. Wang held him in his arms and cried for two days and nights until he fainted. He dreamed that Huang Nilang was back. He walked barefoot to Mr. Wang and said, "Sir, please help me fan the wind across the street.

I was delayed, so I can't go back. My people are dead, my heart will never die, and I will always be in Taihu Lake. You tell the boatman that if there is a strong wind, tell me to go barefoot and I will come. "Sir Wake up, crying.

Tell these words to the boatman in detail. The boat people were very sad to learn that Huang Nilang had died, and built a temple statue for him along the coast of Taihu Lake. According to legend, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty, ran aground in Taihu Lake and met a young man at the barefoot Huangnilang Temple to save him.

Suspected barefoot Huang Nilang. After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he was named "Huang Ni Xiang Gong" and rebuilt the temple, which was called "Huang Ni Xiang Gong". However, in the past, when people sailed in the distressed Taihu Lake, they always shouted "Barefoot Yellow Mud Lang".

Never shout "yellow mud". It is said that because he is called "xianggong", he should wear clothes, hats and shoes, and dress himself up as "xianggong", which will delay the rescue time.

3. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Fu Cha defeated Gou Jian, the King of Yue, who was trapped in Huiji by the King of Wu and brought to Gusu to serve Fu Cha. Later, Fan Li made suggestions and dedicated Xi Shi, a folk beauty, to Fu Cha, the king of Wu, so that he could sing and dance at night, indulge in debauchery and lose his fighting spirit.

Finally, the King of Yue got revenge and defeated the State of Wu in one fell swoop. Fan Li was named the general of "Eight Mountains in Wu Ping". However, Fan Li knew that it was a historical law of feudal society that birds should bow their heads and hide and rabbits should be cooked. Gou Jian can pick on him.

You can't be satisfied with it. Now you enjoy the supreme reputation. If you don't retire, I'm afraid it's hard to have a good end. After returning from the Central Plains, Fan Li said to Gou Jian, "Your Majesty, work hard! Please allow me to resign from now on and never enter the country again. "

Gou Jian was surprised: "Why do you want to leave me now?" Gou Jian said, "I heard that you became a minister, so you worried about the minister's work and humiliated him to death." Once upon a time, the king was humiliated by Huiji, and the reason why I didn't die was to help the king achieve hegemony.

Now that the king's career has been completed, it's time for me to accept the punishment of humiliating the king in Huiji. "So, quietly left the yue. Someone saw Shi driving the boat behind his back.

Out of the three rivers, to the five lakes, I don't know where to go. Later, he ran an industry, became a rich man, was called Tao Zhugong, and died of natural causes.

After the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, the immortals swam away. On this day, I was driving in Xiangyun, passing by Shanyang County, and suddenly I saw an evil spirit soaring into the sky, pushing aside the clouds and looking down.

This hope really surprised Lu Xian: I saw that there were cheaters, troublemakers, looters, unfaithful and unjust people, disobedient and unfilial people in Shanyang County ... and there were so many lawless people.

Seeing this, Lv Dongbin quickly parted the clouds and headed for Lingxiao Manor. Seeing that Lv Dongbin looked depressed, the Jade Emperor asked, "Lu Xian, why are you so disappointed?" Lv Dongbin bowed his head and said, "There are no good people in Shanyang County."

The jade emperor caressed his beard and said, "Is there such a thing? Lv Xian, don't forget the story "The dog bit Lv Dongbin"! Never look down on people. " Lv Dongbin naturally did not forget this matter, and quickly replied: "Little Fairy understands."

The Jade Emperor said, "In that case, please invite Lu Xian to visit Shanyang County." Lv Dongbin quickly replied, "Yes! What should I do if I really play? " The Jade Emperor sighed, "It sank."

Lv Dongbin disguised himself as an oil vendor and came to the market in Yang Shan County with a burden of oil: "Three coppers, one cup of oil! No matter the size of the cup, three coppers a cup of oil! " Hawking attracted many customers, who all held pots and cans, but repeatedly claimed that they held cups.

Lv Dongbin silently filled these greedy people with oil. At this time, two people came again. One was a strong man in his early forties, short stature, fierce eyes, juryman face and a big basin in his hand. The other is a young man in rags.

Holding a small cup in his hand. The young man knows the strong man. His surname is Shen. He is a local butcher. Seeing him coming with a big basin, he asked, "Butcher Shen, where are you going to kill pigs with a basin?" The butcher Shen listened to a stare.

"Who will kill the pig? Who said anything about pots? This is a cup, a big cup! " He came to Lv Dongbin with a big smile on his face: "Scoop oil!" Lv Dongbin glanced at him and asked, "Is it full?" The butcher Shen said loudly, "Of course!"

Lv Dongbin smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't carry it when it's full!" The butcher curled his lips and said, "A basin full of water can be served, but a basin of oil can't be served?" Lv Dongbin stopped talking and filled him with oil. The butcher paid three coppers.

He came to carry the basin cheerfully, but after a long time, he could not carry it with all his strength. Lv Dongbin smiled and said, "Come and get it when you are full!" Butcher Shen stared his one eye and walked away.

The young man was stunned, and Lv Dongbin reminded him: "Young man, are you here to scoop oil?" The youth repeatedly said yes! "Lv Dongbin looked at the small cup in his hand and asked," People buy oil with pots and pans. How can I get a small cup? "

The young man said, "I used to buy this cup. If I switch to a large cup, don't you have to lose money? " My mother said don't be a bitch. Hearing this, Lv Dongbin remembered what he said, "There are no good people in Shanyang County", so he scooped a glass of oil for him with a little guilt.

Let's talk about this young man named Gao, who lives in a ruined temple in South Street, and a blind old lady lives with him. Because he is very filial, his neighbors call him Gao Xiaozi. On weekdays, mother and son live on grinding bean curd and sell tofu every day. The tall boy always buys some food to honor his mother.

Not far from the ruined temple, there are ruins and weeds, but a stone lion is intact. Every day when the tall boy passes by, he will always see a stone lion. On this day, Gao Xiaozi sold tofu and passed by the ruins, and found that the stone lion was surrounded by people.

He unloaded the tofu bag and squeezed it in. He saw an old man in rags lying on the ground. His eyes were closed and he was obviously unconscious. Gao Xiaozi looked carefully and was taken aback: Isn't this the old man who sold oil a few days ago?

The onlookers just talked, and no one came forward to help. The tall boy was moved by compassion. He quickly took out a thousand layers of cakes from his pocket, fed the old man a few pieces, and scooped up some water for him to drink by the river. The old man finally woke up and looked at the onlookers with strange eyes as soon as he opened his eyes.

Without thanking the tall boy, he patted the dirt on his body and hobbled away. From then on, Gao Xiaozi sold tofu home every day. He always sees the old man lying next to the stone lion. He always gives the old people something to eat.

Once, the tall boy couldn't help asking, "Old man, why are you lying here?" Did you lose money selling oil? Or stay at my house! "The old man glanced at the tall boy, sighed and said," I'm looking at this stone lion!

Young man, it's rare that you are kind. I'll tell you a secret today: If you see this stone lion's eyes bleeding, Shanyang County will sink. You should take your mother to the southeast quickly. Remember, never look back. "

As he spoke, he tickled and found a small piece of dirt in his hand. He carefully handed it to the tall boy and said solemnly, "When you get home, put this baby on your mother's eyes and rub it, and then hide it in your body.

Never leave your body, remember? "The tall boy took the soil doubtfully and wanted to ask something. Then he looked up and the old man was gone. After Gao Xiaozi came home, he quickly put the dirty things on his mother's eyes and rubbed them.

When he took his hand away, my mother suddenly opened her eyes and said with tears, "son, I see you!" " "The tall boy saw his mother's eyes seeing again, and he cried with his mother. NianLia knew this was a living fairy.

Since then, every time Gao Xiaozi sells tofu home, he always looks into the eyes of the stone lion in Stop Stop for a minute to see if it really bleeds. After half a month, Shishi's eyes haven't changed at all.

Besides, the butcher Shen in the market failed to buy oil that day and lost a pot. He was not reconciled. On the same day, he called two strong men to carry the pot home, and the three men tossed it for a long time, but the pot still did not move. A few days later, it rained heavily.

The oil in the basin was used up, and the butcher tried to pour out the water and take the basin home, but it seemed that the basin had taken root and could not move at all. Butcher Shen kills pigs every day and passes by the ruins. Recently, he often saw the tall boy wandering in front of the stone lion beside the ruins.

He felt very strange and asked, "Hello! Gao Xiaozi, I only heard that you are the most filial to your mother. Have you been filial to Shishi recently? " The butcher is cunning and treacherous, and has a bad reputation. Hearing this, the tall boy wants to go away.

But he couldn't stand the entanglement of butcher Shen, so he had to tell him that Shanyang County was going to sink because of the bleeding of the lion's eye. Unexpectedly, the butcher Shen laughed and mysteriously said to the tall boy, "So that's it!

You don't know Gao Boy, I am a fortuneteller! Do not believe, if you look at the stone lion of the Ming Dynasty again, it will definitely bleed in its eyes! "The tall boy returned home with a track record, and told what happened to Shen and Niang, who said it was prevention.

NianLia is going to run away overnight. The next day, Gao Xiaozi didn't sell tofu. He came to the stone lion beside the ruins early in the morning. He looked at the lion's eyes in fear and trembling, and scared the tall boy out of his wits.

It turns out that Shishi's eyes are really bleeding! Tall boy ran home, picked up his mother and ran out. As he ran, he said to her, "There is really blood in the eyes of the lion." Mom asked, "Then you are not running right. Didn't the fairy tell you to run southeast? "

Gao Xiaozi said, "I'm going to the market to tell everyone to run together!" " "Mother said," yes! We should ask everyone to run away together! "When he came to the market, the tall boy ran with his mother on his back and shouted," Shanyang County is going to sink. Let's run! "

But no one believed him, and the tall boy shouted dumb and nobody paid attention. At this time, Gao Boy suddenly saw the basin where the butcher had filled the oil last time. The washbasin slowly cracked and a wisp of clear water gurgled out of the gap.

Strangely, there is water all around, but there is no shortage of water in the basin, but the cracks are still expanding. Knowing that something was wrong, the tall boy quickly shouted: "Shanyang County is really going to sink! If you really want to sink, then run! "

But it seems that everyone didn't see the change in the basin, so the tall boy had to carry his mother to the southeast alone. At this time, only one person in the market is stealing happiness. He is the butcher Shen, because the blood in Shishi's eyes is the pig blood he wiped with a pig knife.

He looked at the tall boy carrying his old mother running all the way, laughing till he was fat and shivering. Gao Xiaozi fled to Wuxian behind his mother's back. He can't run any longer. He heard the sound of running water behind him and couldn't help looking back.

This hope, only scared his legs weak, a butt sitting on the ground, the soil also fell to the ground. Behind Gao Gongzi, there was a vast expanse of whiteness, and Shanyang County became Wang Yang. At this time, the rolling waves rolled people, animals and plants from behind.

Strangely, the flood actually bypassed the place where Gao Boy and NianLia rested and rushed forward. Yang Shan County sank and became Taihu Lake. The edge of Taihu Lake is covered with reeds and wormwood, which looks like a winding green belt from a distance.

However, at the lakeside of Zhenghu Township, Wuxian County, there is a long and narrow earth embankment that stretches into the lake alone for a mile. Although this long and narrow green soil is not much higher than the lake, it has never been flooded.

5. According to legend, more than 4,000 years ago, Yu Xia, the father of water control in China, was ordered by Yao Zhonghua, Shun Di, to control the flood in Taihu Lake, and dug three main waterways, namely Dongjiang River, Loujiang River and Wusong River, to connect Taihu Lake with the sea and lead the flood to the sea.

This is what Sima Qian recorded in Historical Records: "Yu governs water in Wu, connecting three rivers and five lakes." Taihu Lake has a vast water surface, 200 miles from east to west and 0/20 miles from north to south, covering an area of 36,000 hectares.
