Legend of Zhinv stone

Legend of Zhinv stone

A long time ago, in Pingliang mountains of Yugang Township, Ganghe District, there was a place called qicaishi, which was left by Empress Nuwa when she was mending the sky. Thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow, thousands of years of human vicissitudes, to the colorful stone into the fairy spirit, human lust. One year, a piece of colored stone was unwilling to be lonely, so he became the daughter of a local rich family, named Mingzhu. More than ten years later, Mingzhu has grown into a beautiful girl. She is not in love with or greedy for wealth, but only likes home brocade. It's also ordinary silk thread. The beautiful brocade woven by her will turn the bad into the good, dispel diseases and relieve worries. Therefore, hundreds of miles around, mention pearl girl all praise.

On this day, the Pearl girl took her newly dyed silk thread to the river for washing. Suddenly, a strong wind swept her into the river. When she was about to be swallowed by the big waves in the middle of the river, a fishing boat chopped the waves and rushed forward. The fishermen on the boat rescued the Pearl and sent her home in person. The parents of the Pearl proposed to give her half of her family's wealth. The fisherman politely declined, as long as the Pearl had her own hands Weave a silk scarf, and leave in a hurry.

It turned out that the fisherman was also one of the seven colored stones. He came down to earth to be a boatman, named Niulang. He fished all day long on the river to help the poor and rescue the ships in distress. After meeting Mingzhu, they fell in love with each other secretly. Every morning, Mingzhu went to the riverside to dress up and wait to meet Niulang. Later, the cochlear lady found out their affair. In a rage, she took back the spirit of two stones and turned them into stones again. The cowherd was in the south, the Pearl was in the north, separated by the river, and never got together. The original seven color stone became five pieces of stone, which was used as a place name by local people and is still in use today. Liu Yingqiu, a famous Confucianist in Ankang during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, felt this and wrote a poem called "Zhinv stone" with seven rhythms, which said: "the treasure tube stands by the water, and looks up at the cowherd near the bank. The autumn rain meets the tears at that time, and the spring grass adds makeup to the dawn. Thousands of miles of moon, eyes, nine back to the Han River Huan Rouchang. Ji Luo Congji human woman, who is like a piece of steel channel heart Later, the Niulang stone disappeared, but the Zhinu stone still stood on the North Bank of the lake, expressing expectation and occasional regret towards the sky and the lake, leaving endless reverie for visitors. In order to disappoint Zhinu, in 1997, Ankang Municipal government allocated 13 million yuan to develop and build Jinluo island. When it was built, Niulang stone was restored, and the poems of Liu Yingqiu, a famous Confucian in Qing Dynasty, were engraved on a stele.

Legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl

This is a very beautiful, eternal love story, and has become one of the four major folk love legends in China

It is said that there is a Vega and a Altair in the sky. Weaver girl and morning glory fall in love and want to print. However, the law of heaven does not allow men and women to love each other without permission. Zhinv is the granddaughter of the queen mother, so the Queen Mother demoted Petunia to the world and ordered Zhinv to weave brocade as punishment. The Weaver's job is to use a magic silk to weave beautiful clouds on the loom, changing their colors with time and season. This is the "heavenly garment". Since she was demoted to Petunia, Zhinu often tears her face and thinks of Petunia with a sad face. She sat beside the loom and kept weaving beautiful brocade, hoping to win the Queen Mother's great kindness and let the morning glory return to heaven as soon as possible.

One day, several fairies begged the queen mother to visit the blue lotus pool. The queen mother was in a good mood today and agreed to them. When they saw that Zhinu was depressed all day long, they begged for help from the queen mother and let Zhinu go together. The queen mother also felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she made them go and return quickly.

After being demoted, morning glory was born in a farmer's home, named Niulang. Later, when his parents died, he lived with his elder brother and sister-in-law. Elder brother and sister-in-law were very mean to Niu Lang, and they only gave him an old cow and a broken car to separate from him. The rest were monopolized by elder brother and sister-in-law, and then they separated from Niu Lang.

From then on, the Cowherd and the old cow depended on each other. They cut through the thorns and thorns in the wasteland, plowed the land and built houses. A year or two later, they built a small home, barely able to make ends meet. However, in addition to the old cow who can't speak, there is only the cowherd in the lonely home, and life is quite lonely. The cowherd didn't know that the old cow was Taurus in the sky.

On this day, the old cow suddenly spoke and said to the cowherd, "cowherd, today you go to the Bilian pool, where some fairies are taking a bath. If you hide the Red Fairy clothes, the fairies in Red Fairy clothes will become your wife." The cowherd was surprised and happy to see that the old cow was spewing, so he asked, "brother Niu, do you really know how to speak? Is that true? " The old cow nodded, and the cowherd quietly hid in the reed beside the blue lotus pool, waiting for the fairies to come.

After a while, the fairies really came, took off their light clothes and jumped into the clear stream. The cowherd ran out of the reed and took the Red Fairy clothes. When the fairies saw someone coming, they put on their clothes in a hurry and flew away like a bird. Only the fairies who had no clothes and could not escape were left. She was the weaver. When Zhinu saw that her fairy clothes had been robbed by a young man, she was ashamed and anxious, but helpless. At this time, the cowherd came up to her and said that he would give her back her clothes only if she agreed to be his wife. The Weaver Girl fixed her eyes and knew that the cowherd was the morning glory she had been thinking about day and night, so she shamefully agreed to him. In this way, the weaver girl became the wife of the cowherd.

After they got married, men worked and women weaved. They loved each other and lived a very happy life. Soon, they gave birth to a son and a daughter, very lovely. The Cowherd and the weaver girl thought that they could live together forever.

However, when the queen mother knew about this, she was furious and immediately sent the fairy to catch the weaver girl and return to heaven to ask for a crime.

On this day, the weaver girl was cooking. The cowherd who went to the ground hurried back, his eyes red and swollen, and told the Weaver Girl: "brother Niu is dead. Before he died, he said that he wanted me to peel off his cowhide and put it down after he died. One day, he could put it on and fly to heaven." When Zhinu heard this, she was puzzled. She understood that Laoniu was the Taurus in the sky. Because she said a few words of justice for the degraded Petunia, she was also demoted to heaven. How could it suddenly die? The weaver girl asked the cowherd to peel off the cowhide and bury the old cow.

Just at this time, the sky was windy, and the heavenly soldiers and generals came down from the sky. They escorted Zhinu to the sky. Is flying, flying, Zhinu heard the voice of the cowherd: "Zhinu, wait for me!" Weaver girl looked back and saw the cowherd with a pair of baskets, carrying two children, dressed in cowhide came. Slowly, the distance between them is getting closer and closer, and the weaver girl can see the lovely appearance of her children. The children all open their arms and shout "Mom". It's obvious that the Cowherd and the weaver girl will meet soon. But at this time, the queen mother came with the auspicious cloud. She pulled off her golden hairpin and rowed among them. In a moment, a river of heaven billowed between the weaver girl and the cowherd. The weaver girl looked at the Cowherd and their children on the other side of the Tianhe River and cried to the top of her voice. The Cowherd and their children also cried to death. Their cries, the children's cries of "mother", were so heartbreaking and tearful that even the fairies and gods who were watching felt sad and could not bear it. Seeing this, the queen mother was slightly moved by the faithful love of the Cowherd and the weaver girl. She agreed to let the Cowherd and the children stay in the sky and let them meet each other on July 7 every year
