Stories about stones

There was a man named Bian He in the State of Chu who got a rough piece of jade in Jingshan. Bian He presented this rough jade to Li, the king of Chu. Li Guowang ordered a jade worker to see it. The jade worker said it was just a stone. Li was furious and cut off Bian He's left foot for deceiving the monarch. After the death of King Li of Qi, King Wu ascended the throne, and Bian He once again held the jade to see King Wu, who ordered the jade worker to see it. The jade worker still said that it was just a stone, so Bian He lost his right foot. King Wu died and King Wen acceded to the throne. Bian He wept at the foot of the mountain for three days and three nights, dried his tears and then shed blood. When King Wen learned of this, he sent someone to ask, "Many people in the world have their feet cut off. Why are you crying so sad? " Bian He said, "What I am crying about is not that my feet are cut off, but that Baoyu is treated as a stone, and loyal ministers are treated as bullies, and innocent people are humiliated. This is why I am sad. " So, King Wen ordered people to cut this rough jade open, and when it turned out to be a rare jade, he named it Heshibi.

Lapierre de la Tente

Jiangxia under Jiuniu Ridge is called Huangniu Gorge. Along the canyon, you can see wonders such as "dragons playing in the water" and "frogs crossing the river". Then, you enter Mi Dou Beach. At Mi Dou Beach, you can enjoy Wang Mishi.

Once upon a time, there was a couple who rowed for a living. It was nine winters. They sailed against the current and suffered a lot. In the evening, the couple docked by the river and met an old woman who came to beg with her children. It was really pitiful to see them. The couple gave their only bucket of rice to the old woman.

After the couple ran out of food, they only hoped that there would be ships between the upstream and downstream to help. But there were no boats then. It was a leak in the house that kept it raining all night. So, the husband climbed up the mountain to see the boat every day.

One day, the wife saw that her husband had not gone down the mountain for a long time, so she went up the mountain to find him. As a result, she found that her husband had been frozen to death by heavy snow and starved to death in the mountains. When the wife was in a hurry, she died beside her husband.

In memory of this kind couple, people call their berth "Mi Dou Beach". Later, when the couple turned to stone, people called her husband "immortal stone" and her wife "Wang Fu stone".

The legend of the lying cow stone

There is a natural village in Kaoshan Township of Yinmahe River. According to legend, there used to be a big bluestone shaped like a lying cow here. Although the river was diverted and washed into the river, the legend of the lying cow stone was widely circulated among the people.

Once upon a time, there was a farmer who kept a gray donkey and a yellow cow. The ox works honestly every day, but the gray donkey is lazy and slippery everywhere. When pulling the cart, the gray donkey pulled the lid straight, but it was useless, so that all the weight fell on the ox. When the farmer saw that the bull was full of sweat, but the gray donkey didn't sweat at all, he thought that the gray donkey was stronger than the cow. When plowing the fields, the ox just lowered its head and silently pulled the pears. The grey donkey's eyes are always fixed on the farmer. As soon as it saw the farmer approaching, it quickly stuck out its tongue to lick the farmer's hand, leaving a loyal impression on the farmer.

One day, bulls and gray donkeys were grazing on the grass, and farmers were sleeping on the soft grass. Suddenly, a hungry wolf jumped out of the grass and rushed at the farmer. The frightened grey donkey hid in the grass ditch and did not move. The bull was greeted by him and stood in front of the hungry wolf to fight with him. Although bitten by two pieces of fur, the hungry wolf was also injured. He bravely stepped forward and drove the hungry wolf into the swamp deep in the grass. Seeing that the hungry wolf had run away, the grey donkey stayed outside the ditch to wake the farmer and took him to the place where the fight had just taken place. The farmer saw wolf hair and blood on the grass and knew that he had been to the wolf when he slept. He thought it was the gray donkey who saved him, so he was moved to tickle the gray donkey with his hand, but ignored the scalper who came back from the swamp.

When planting buckwheat, the farmer left a bag of buckwheat on the road. The bull searched all morning and finally found it in the grass by the road. It carried the bag containing buckwheat back with two sharp corners. Back in the village, the grey donkey jumped out of the door and said affectionately, "Niu Ge, look at you. Let me help you. " Then he put it in his pocket and sent it to the farmer's room. From then on, the farmer thought that the grey donkey was loyal and diligent, and the ox relied on it. He gave all the good forage to the grey donkey and the rest to the yellow cattle.

The following spring, the farmer wanted to go to the south bank of Yinma River to buy cotton. He thought the cow was useless, so he set off with a gray donkey. When he came back, he just caught up with the rising water of Yinma River. The farmer sat in the car and guided the gray donkey across the river from the shallows with a whip. When he reached the middle of the river, the river surged. Overflow the carriage. The gray donkey thought that cross-flow was not as labor-saving as pulling a cart along the river, so he didn't listen to the farmer's shouting and pulled the cart down. No matter how the farmer lashed and shouted, the grey donkey wouldn't listen. As a result, people and cars rushed into the Songhua River, and the lazy gray donkey was drowned by Jiangshan.

After ploughing, cows lie by the river every day, waiting for their owners to come back, day after day, year after year. I've been waiting for years. The bull didn't wait for the farmer, but lay there and became a lying cow stone.

According to legend, Bubala's family proposed to Ashima's family, but there was no result, so they snatched Ashima away. This is what Brother Hei knows. He climbed 749 mountains and came back from a distant pasture to save Ashima. After returning home, Ashima has been robbed for three days and nights. He rode across the 998 1 river and came to Ray Bubala's home. After many twists and turns, Ashima was finally rescued.

Ashima and Heige rode home happily. They walked many roads, crossed several ditches and climbed several mountains. It was dark and the wind was blowing hard. In order to go home as soon as possible, they don't care about this and just keep walking. Walking, after a gust of wind, dark clouds rolled in the sky and thunder rumbled in the fields. Seeing that the storm was coming, they had to both dismount, but they couldn't see anything in the dark. As a result, they got lost. At this time, the wind and rain are urgent, and you can't see it, but don't shout. As the mountain torrents came down, the water became deeper and deeper, and they separated, and no one could find anyone. After the flood receded, Ashima and Haig met again, but they both lost their way. Just as they were worried, a buzzing little bee flew towards them. After the bees circled them three times, they began to talk: "Buzz, buzz, go home tonight, my home is in the cave." So Ashima and Brother Hei walked in the direction of bees.

Bees led Ahei and Ashima into the Stone Forest, which was wet and slippery. Ashima reached for a stone to help, but the stone stuck to the cliff and couldn't come down any more. She had to say sadly to Black Brother, "Black Brother, Black Brother, find a way to save me and find a white pig and a white rooster to give to God."

After listening to this, Brother Black was sad and anxious. He dried his tears, crossed forty-nine mountains and eighty-one rivers, and finally found the white rooster. But he traveled all over the nine villages in Shibuya village, but he couldn't find the white pig. No choice but to find a black pig and dig a basket of white mud on the mountain. He made the mud, pasted it on the black pig and filled the white pig, so that both the white pig and the white chicken were available. But just as he was happily preparing to return to Shilin, he was so tired after running around for days that he climbed the last mountain and fell asleep as soon as he sat down. At this time, there was another heavy rain without Spama. The rain woke him from his dream. When he went to see the pig, the white mud on the black pig was washed clean by the rain. Cliff gods can't sacrifice, and Ashima can't save them. Ah hei regretted it. He cried bitterly, but if the cliff god didn't let go, Ashima would stick to that big stone forever. Over time, under the constant erosion of rain, it has formed what we see now. The pool of water next to the Ashima stone statue was accumulated by the rain that washed white pigs into black pigs.

★ Wedding Stone Fuxi Temple and Old Mother Temple

In the river at the corner of Yunyang River, locals call it "wedding stone". This is a seemingly insignificant stone, but it has a bizarre legend. According to legend, in ancient times, weeds flooded the world and thousands of families were extinct, leaving only Fuxi and Nuwa between heaven and earth. In order to reproduce and create human beings, Fuxi proposed to marry Nu Wa, but Nu Wa did not say anything: "How do brothers and sisters get married?"

"。 But when I think about it carefully, there is no good way, so I have to say, "As long as it conforms to God's will and geography, we will get married. "But how can this be an act of god? Nu Wa suggested that two mountain fires should be lit on the east and west mountains, and if the rising smoke can be combined, it would be God's will. So Fuxi went to the top of the west mountain, and Nu Wa went to the top of the east mountain. Each of them picked up a pile of firewood and lit it. I saw two strands of smoke curling up, and suddenly a whirlwind blew, mixing the two strands of smoke together and winding each other above Yunyang Valley, soaring into the sky. God's will is clear, it's time to go to geography. Nu Wa also proposed a rolling stone from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. If the rolling stones can be combined, it is geography. They climbed to the top of the mountain again and pushed two big stones down the mountain at the same time. The rocks flew over the slope and collided at the bottom of the river. They found a loud noise and joined together firmly. Therefore, Fuxi said to Nu Wa: "At this time, naturally. Should we combine? "Fuxi and nuwa together, become husband and wife. According to the local old man, as long as the last married man and woman climb the stone hand in hand and walk side by side, there will be a happy marriage in the future. This stone is still preserved at the bottom of Yunyang River, with a blue pattern in the middle, a dragon pattern on one side and a snake pattern on the other, representing Fuxi and Nuwa respectively.

In order to commemorate this event, the local people called Fuxi and Nu Wa's stone a wedding stone. A temple was built on the hillside on both sides of the wedding stone. The temple in the west is called Fuxi Hall, which enshrines Fu, the ancestor of the Chinese nation. To the east is the Old Mother Temple, which is dedicated to the great mother of the Chinese nation, Nu Wa.

★ The colored stone left by the goddess mending the sky

Colorful stone is a colorful boulder on the platform of His Royal Highness Fuxi, and it is also associated with a beautiful legend. After Nu Wa made man, human beings slowly multiplied. They pick wild fruits, hunt wild animals and live a carefree life. Suddenly one day, a bolt from the blue flashed, followed by an earth-shattering noise. Suddenly, a big hole opened in the sky, and heavy rain poured down, flooding fields and villages.

Suddenly the ground became Wang Yang. When Nu Wa saw people crying and running for their lives, she was determined to mend the cracks in the sky. Nu Wa collected red sandstone from Dongshan, Bai Yushi from Xishan, and other three colors of stones from Nanshan, Beishan and Zhongshan, and put them in the furnace together. After 998 1 day, I finally developed colorful stones and nuwa, whose colors are exactly the same as the sky.

Fill the cracks in the sky with these colorful stones. The heavy rain stopped, the flood receded and people lived a comfortable life again. According to legend, this colorful boulder is a colorful stone left by the goddess after mending the sky. After wetting the stone with water, we can see that there are many abstract textures and figures on it. Some people say that the central part is the outline of the Chinese territory, surrounded by dragons and phoenixes; It is also said that there are many images of primitive humans on the surface of the stone. In a word, this stone is unique in this mountain.

★ Stone turtle and white crane Gu Song

At that time, two blast furnaces were built, one in Tiangong and the other on the ground. The one on the ground was built on the top of Zijin Mountain in Taihang Mountain in Qinyang. In order to refine the elixir, the Jade Emperor also sent a turtle and two cranes as assistants to the old gentleman. Crane flies all over Taihang Mountain, looking for Ganoderma lucidum and Yao grass. Turtles taste refined pills. Every time the pill comes out of the oven, the turtle tastes it and then the crane sends it to heaven.

In the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang unified China and ascended the supreme throne. We eat delicacies, wear silks and satins, and wear gold, silver and jade articles every day, enjoying the splendor of the world. So he is most afraid of death. He said that as long as people die, even the best things will belong to others. In order to find a panacea for immortality, Qin Shihuang sent many troops to Huashan, Yingzhou and the East China Sea to look for immortals to visit Taoism everywhere, but these troops were either disappointed or never heard from. Later, I heard that this unruly gentleman made an alchemy in Zijinding, Taihang Mountain, and personally led the troops to Hanoi County day and night.

Of course, the old gentleman knew what Qin Shihuang had done. He thought: If such a cruel and tyrannical gentleman as Qin Shihuang was given the elixir of life, would ordinary people still have a way out? So, before the arrival of Qin Shihuang, he boarded the blast furnace, picked up the Dan gourd, rode on the green cow and drove Xiangyun back to the Heavenly Palace. Before the tortoise and crane came back, the old gentleman left them on earth in such a hurry.

Qin Shihuang led a large group of people to climb the top of Purple Mountain. When he saw that the stove on the mountain was out, the single crystal had no medicine, and there was no one in the air, he suddenly became angry from embarrassment. Ordered the destruction of everything on the mountain. When searching the mountain, the tortoise and the crane came back. Turtle crane didn't get the instructions from the old man, so he didn't dare to return to the Heavenly Palace rashly. After a little hesitation, he was caught by Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang said happily, "With these two immortals, you can live forever after eating them."

Besides, this turtle crane is a fairy after all, how can it be humiliated on earth! When the tortoise was in a hurry, it turned into a big stone turtle, which was closely connected with the rock at the top of Zijin, and no one could move a bit without a thousand troops. Where is the crane? Hurriedly craned his neck, spread his wings, and turned into a pine tree, with its roots stuck on a steep cliff and its branches reaching into the sky, which made it impossible for any soldier to reach even the best martial arts. Qin Shihuang had no choice but to return to Beijing in despair.

As the saying goes: a thousand-year-old turtle, a thousand-year-old crane. Turtle cranes remain in the world and become a symbol of immortality. Because the pine tree on the top of Zijin is made of cranes, the tree is white and bright, so it is called white crane pine, also called white bark pine. Later, Nanman knew the origin of the stone turtle and wanted to steal it. After the local people knew about it, they set up a seven-foot-high stone tablet on the back of the stone turtle and built a stone tablet building to protect it. When good men and women in Xinshan go to Zijinding's prison, they all have to touch stone turtles to eliminate disasters and diseases. Behind the old gentleman's temple, there are many gray soft stones, which are said to have been poured out of the blast furnace by the old gentleman. Although there is no magical effect of immortality, it can treat many diseases. People call it Laojun Stone and Dan Hearthstone, and because it is soft and can be moved by hand, it is also called "digging stone".

★ The legend of Zhu Rong riding a green dragon.

Zhu Rong is a descendant of Fuxi. He likes Lapras to travel from the north to the south. Fuxi drew eight diagrams on the top of Zijin and set the direction. He is familiar with setting up an altar to worship the gods in Shennong, so he wants to travel around the world in a blue dragon cloud.

One day, he came to the top of Qinglong Mountain. In an instant, a blue-purple airflow passed by, and suddenly he became a dragon. I saw Zhu Rong sitting on it waving and flying into the distance.

. There is a platform at the destination of Qinglong, which is called Zhu Rong Platform by later generations, and Zhu Rong Platform is 230 meters north of Shennong Xiantan. Who knows that Zhu Rong came back from the south, riding two dragons, Qinglong and Huolong. He also brought the hot climate in the south to Baisongling.

Myths and legends are always bizarre, but Zhu Rong TV has been preserved to this day. In the garden at an altitude of 1000 meters, the subtropical ecological phenomenon of "no ice in severe winter, white pine and green vine" will also attract people's attention.

But there is another version of the beautiful legend circulating in Fuzhou. It is said that the goddess left many lingshi of different sizes after mending the sky. So she traveled all over the land of China, and finally found the mountains and rivers of Shoushan, Fuzhou, full of gas reservoirs, quiet forests and beautiful scenery. She scattered these lingshi, which had been used to mend the sky, on the land of Shoushan, that is, the "Tian Huangshi" hidden in the rice fields of Shoushan.

There is also a legend about Tian Huangshi in Fuzhou.

According to legend, Emperor Qianlong once dreamed that he was summoned by the Jade Emperor, who gave him a yellow stone and three Chinese characters "Fushoutian". Emperor Qianlong was so happy when he woke up that he thought it was a good omen, but he was puzzled by the situation in his dream. The next day, he summoned ministers to give him a "dream". After hearing this, a minister in Fujian province quickly knelt down and told him that Tian Huangshi, who was born in Shoushan, Fuzhou, must have been given by the Jade Emperor, because it coincided with the word "longevity day" given by the Jade Emperor. Emperor Qianlong was very happy after hearing this and thought it was really a gift from heaven. From then on, he dedicated Tian Huangshi in the middle of the sacrificial table in the ceremony.

This legend is equally beautiful.

Compared with these two legends, the other legend is dwarfed. According to legend, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. Zhu Yuanzhang, a poor boy in Fengyang, Anhui Province, fled to Shoushan, Fuzhou to avoid famine. He was hungry and cold, but he was caught in a heavy rain. He hid in a cave digging Shoushan stone. It rained continuously for several days, and he slept in the cave for several days. Fortunately, he didn't starve to death, otherwise there would be no later Ming Taizu. The rain stopped and it cleared up. Zhu Yuanzhang got up sideways. At this time, a miracle happened. His scabies has not been cured. It turned out that he slept on the stone powder of Tian Huangshi, and Tian Huangshi cured him. Later, he became the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty and sent eunuchs to mine Tian Huangshi.
