The Milky Way, composed of countless stars, spans the night sky like the Milky Way. People say it separates the enthusiastic cowherd from the weaver girl. Only on the seventh day of July every year can the magpies in the world build a magpie bridge and meet each other. This wonderful legend began in the Han dynasty and has been handed down from generation to generation for more than 1000 years.

According to legend, Cowherd's parents died young and were often abused by his elder sister-in-law, only accompanied by an old cow. One day, the old cow gave him a plan to marry the weaver girl. On that day, the beautiful fairies did bathe in the Milky Way and play in the water. Then the cowherd, hiding in the reeds, suddenly ran out and took the clothes of the Weaver Girl. The panicked fairies hurried ashore, dressed and flew away, leaving only the weaver girl. At Cowherd's request, Weaver Girl agreed to be his wife. After marriage, the cowherd and the weaver girl loved each other and lived a very happy life. Weaver gave birth to a son and a daughter to Cowherd. Later, the old cow was dying. He told the cowherd to keep its skin and put it on for help when he was in trouble. After the old cow died, the couple reluctantly peeled off the cowhide and buried the cow on the hillside.

When the marriage between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd was known by the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Queen Mother, they flew into a rage and ordered the gods to take the Weaver Girl back. When the Cowherd was away, the gods took the Weaver Girl. Cowherd didn't see Weaver when he came home, so he quickly put on cowhide and chased after him with two children. On the verge of catching up, the queen mother was in a hurry, tore off the golden hairpin on her head and rowed to the Milky Way. The once shallow Milky Way suddenly became stormy, and the Cowherd couldn't go any further. Since then, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only look at each other across the river with tears, forever and ever, and the Jade Emperor and the Empress Dowager can't resist their sincere feelings, allowing them to meet once every July 7th. According to legend, on the seventh day of July, human magpies will fly to the sky to build a magpie bridge for the cowherd and weaver girl in the Milky Way. In addition, in the dead of night on Tanabata, people can also hear the love story of cowherd and weaver girl in the sky under the grape trellis or other fruit trellis.

Of course, this is just a legend. Begging for Qiao ceremony originated from the original belief of the ancient weaver girl, Sang Shen, and combined with the saying that the cowherd and weaver girl meet each other on July 7 every year, it has become our folk belief of seven Qiao on Tanabata today.

The jade emperor traveled around the world in a cloud. Everywhere he went, he saw that people working in the fields were bent and tanned, and they always ate chaff and swallowed vegetables in the end, and their lives were very poor. He sighed and immediately told the minister in charge of the people in the world: "It will snow in winter and turn white." This change makes everyone happy. As long as they take a dustpan and knead it in the yard a few times, they can't finish it in a year.

I don't know how many years have passed and people have become lazy. They don't even want to cook or take chopsticks when eating.

There are two mothers and sons living in the same village. The old man especially dotes on his son, who does not move and only eats ready-made meals. One day, the son said to his mother, "Mom, white bread and noodles don't smell good. It's really tiring to eat with chopsticks and carry a bowl! " "The old man was very angry, but he was helpless and just kept sighing. One day, my mother was going out for a few days, and she couldn't help worrying about her son's dinner. Later, she finally came up with a way. When she left, she called her son to her side, took out a pancake six feet long and five feet wide and the size of a quilt, and said to her son, "Son, mom is going out for a few days. This is for you to eat. You can sit down and eat when you are tired. Don't be hungry. " Then mom went out.

A few days later, my mother came back. She opened the door and saw her son lying motionless on the kang covered with pancakes. She pushed and shouted, "wake up, son!" " Mom, I'm home. "I don't want my son, but I don't say a word. When she looked at it carefully, her eyes widened, her legs were stiff and she was dead. He was covered with pancakes, but his mouth was bitten. Mother shouted, "Son! "son! I didn't expect you to be covered with pancakes and starve to death. " ... the mother's crying alarmed the jade emperor. As soon as he opened the cloud, he couldn't help flying into a rage: "Such people deserve to starve to death. Alas! This is the result of my excessive gift! "

To this end, the Jade Emperor decreed that it snowed again in winter, and it has been raining until now.

Sugar-coated haws, sweet and sour, are suitable for all ages. It is not only delicious, but also beautiful. Hongshan plants are arranged on bamboo sticks according to size, and the outside is covered with crystal clear syrup. Sellers often put Sugar-Coated Berry on a special stick, like a small tree full of fruits, which is really attractive.

In the early years, at the temple fair of the Spring Festival in Beijing, in the factory, I often saw a long string of Sugar-Coated Berry with a Caiqi Yang on it and a string of bamboo sticks bent by red fruits, which trembled in my hand, adding to the lively atmosphere of the festival. When it comes to the origin of sugar-coated haws, we should also talk about Song Guangzong, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Song Guangzong, Zhao Tingren (A.D.1147-1200), is the third son of Zhao Shen, Song Xiaozong. 1 1 year, Xiaozong made him the crown prince and the magistrate of Lin 'an. 1 187, 10 was succeeded by Xiao Zong Neichan. The following year, the title was changed to Shao Xi.

Zhao Shen lived in the deep palace for a long time, and failed to get in touch with world affairs. He was 43 years old when he ascended the throne, but he was already full of white hair. I offer Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. After persuasion, my hair turned black, but he refused to accept it. He said: "My hair is white, so everyone can know that I am old." After he acceded to the throne, influenced by Li Xinyu, he dismissed Zhou Bida, Xin Qiji and other leading ministers and became prime ministers, ruling the country mainly and being manipulated by factions.

The relationship between Zhao Bei and Xiaozong has a long history. After the death of Xiaozong, the funeral could not be held, and there was chaos in Manchu Dynasty. Zhao Ruyu, who knows the Privy Council, and Han, who knows the cabinet door, are playing on it. It is suggested that the queen mother order Zhao to stop abdicating and pass it on to her son, who will preside over the funeral of Xiaozong. The Empress Dowager agreed with Zhao to stop meditating, saying that he was a great emperor and lived in Shoukang Palace. Every time he recalls his rule, he always curses himself and sometimes cries bitterly.

In the spring of A.D. 1200, Emperor Zhao Kuo came back from a ceremony in the suburbs, and the sound of drum music was introduced into the deep palace. Zhao stopped to ask what it was, and left and right replied that people in the street were playing music games. Zhao was indignant and said, "I'm so bullied by a slave!" When I went to boxing, I fell to the ground because I couldn't stop it. I can't get up. Xin Mao died in August. Yang 'an Shoukang Palace. Buried in Yong chongling (now Baoshan, 35 miles southeast of Shaoxing County, Zhejiang Province).

It was during the reign of Shao Xi that Huang Guifei, the favorite of Zhao Ting, fell ill. She is sallow and emaciated, and she doesn't think about eating or drinking. The doctor used many expensive drugs, but none of them worked. When the emperor saw his beloved princess, he was sad all day. In the end, I had no choice but to post a list of medical treatment. A quack revealed the list and entered the palace. After feeling her pulse, Huang Guifei said, "As long as you use rock sugar and red fruits (that is, Shan Ye plants) and eat five to ten tablets before each meal, you will be fine within half a month." At first, everyone was dubious, but fortunately, this way of eating was also to the taste of the imperial concubine. After taking it in this way, the imperial concubine recovered as scheduled. The emperor was naturally overjoyed and began to frown.

Later, this practice spread to the people, and the people strung it together and sold it, which became a sugar-coated gourd. Facts have proved that Shan Zhi has many medicinal effects. It can help digestion, dispel blood stasis, expel tapeworms, stop dysentery, and especially help digestion. It has been an important medicine for digestion since ancient times, especially for digestion. Perhaps the delicacies Huang Guifei had eaten made her sick, and the small hawthorn relieved her pain. Li Shizhen, an outstanding medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, once said, "If you cook old chicken hard meat and plant a few pieces in the mountains, it will rot easily, and if it accumulates, it will be eliminated, and the cover can be pushed."
