legend

Legend one

In the period of the third world (the world of heaven, the world of demons and the world of human beings), there was a pair of golden children and jade girls in the world of heaven. The golden children were intelligent and upright, and the jade girls were beautiful and kind. At that time, the Jade Emperor liked the whiteness and tranquility of the ice and snow, so the world was full of ice and snow, and human life was miserable. On the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar is the birthday of Jintong. On this day, Jintong comes down to the human world to help people melt the ice and snow and plant new year's hope. the Jade Emperor was very angry when he saw that the snow and ice had melted in most parts of the world, and the whiteness and tranquility were being destroyed. He ordered the heavenly soldiers to melt the snow and ice on the 15th of the first month of the next year. When the earth revived, they set fire to the world to burn it up. the beautiful and kind-hearted girl didn't have the heart to see the innocent suffering of the common people. Taking advantage of her birthday on October 29 of the lunar calendar, she went down to earth and told Jintong and the common people the news that the emperor of heaven wanted to burn the world. When the people heard the news, they were too scared to know what to do. Jin Tong and Yu Nu discussed a way: "on the 15th day of the first month, every family hangs red lanterns and sets off firecrackers. In this way, the heaven will think that there is a big fire in the human world and it will burn itself. People think it's a good way. On the 15th day of the first month, people do their business according to their plans, making the people's world prosperous and firecrackers roaring. In the evening, the Jade Emperor looked down and found that the human world was red. He really thought that the human world was burning because of the destruction of ice and snow, so he stopped ordering the heavenly soldiers to set fire. So people saved their lives and hope for a new year. Since then, Jin Tong and Yu Nu have stayed in the human world, reincarnating according to their respective birthdays. Later, Jintong was the leader of people in different times (Fuxi, Emperor Yao, Hunyuan, Xizi, Huwei, youshengzhenjun, zhengyijing, yingzhenjun, etc.), and the jade girl became the empress of Jintong and her wife (Nuwa, Sanyi, zhuxianggu, etc.) to help Jintong build the world together. in order to remember the golden boy and the jade girl, every family hung red lanterns and set off firecrackers on the 15th of the first lunar month every year. The old people often say that there are three wonders on the Dukang River: the river fog is not as flat as the shore; the duck egg is yellow and the blood is red; the shrimps and shrimps cuddle each other. It is said that the three wonders came into being only after the Queen Mother demoted the golden boy and girl to Dukang river. it is said that the ducks and shrimps in the Dukang River are the Golden Boys and girls guarding the yaochi Lake beside the queen mother in the sky. After a long time, the two spread their affection and love each other. Once, the queen mother held a birthday party and asked the golden girl to go to the longevity pavilion to clean the court and place Royal wine. After the arrangement, the jade girl saw that it was still early, and the gods were still coming to the banquet, so she took out a wine pot from the colorful sleeve and filled it with a pot of Royal Wine given to the queen mother by the Jade Emperor. Jin Tong, knowing this, reaches for some peaches and hides them in his sleeves. Then they sneak down to Dukang river. although they love each other at ordinary times, they have strict rules and discipline. In addition, the queen mother looks coldly all day. For many days, they can only express their love with eyes and dare not cross the thunder pool. To meet alone is like pouring oil on a dry firewood fire, "boom" and it's on. They hugged each other. They could not express their love for each other. She pretended to be drunk by drinking and threw herself into Jin Tong's arms, saying, "brother Jin Tong, the world is full of flowers and flowers. Men farm and women weave in pairs. Although we are in the immortal class, we are like nuns and monks. Even if we have a thousand feelings, we can't get married. Heaven given good luck, we can get together in Dukang river. In my opinion, let's elope! " Although he was always afraid of the majesty of his mother, he was not satisfied with the beauty of her body. He put the girl in his arms, hugged her tightly, and kissed her wildly. The jade girl is also obsessed with her eyes and blushes. She lets Jin Tong touch her body. Suddenly, they can no longer restrain their desire. They push down Yushan and eat the forbidden fruit. they were in love, discussing how to leave heaven forever and cultivate the world, when suddenly the sky was overcast with thunder and lightning. The Dharma protector came out and said harshly in front of the golden Maiden: "what a golden maiden! How dare you steal private meetings and slander heaven's commandments!" Then he took out the immortal rope and tied the golden girl tightly and took it to Lingxiao hall. In the Lingxiao hall, the Jade Emperor was furious when he heard the message from the Dharma protector. He raised the brush to banish the girl from the list of immortals and demote her to the world. Just at this time, the queen mother came to play: "Your Majesty, wait a minute." The Jade Emperor put down his pen and said, "why?" The queen mother said, "I will never forget what happened before. The fourth elder sister made a big stir in Tokyo for Cui Sheng, the Cowherd and the weaving girl met at magpie bridge, the seventh elder sister fell in love with Dong Yong and stuck to the cottage, and the White Snake was Xu Xian's incarnation in tafeng, all of which humiliated the holy face. If we demote this rebellious couple to the world, they will definitely get along with each other. Isn't it a blessing in disguise? " The Jade Emperor asked the queen mother, "what do you want to do?" The Queen Mother sneered and said, "in the view of concubines, we should demote them to be enemies of the jungle. Let's see how they can kiss and love each other." The Jade Emperor even said yes, so he said: "the golden boy is shrimp, and the jade girl is duck. From generation to generation, hungry ducks eat shrimp." Then he ordered the Dharma protector to banish the golden girl into the Dukang river. When she first heard that the Jade Emperor was going to demote them to the world, she was not only free from resentment, but also secretly happy, looking forward to leaving this heaven and hell one day earlier. Later, when she saw that the queen mother was cunning, she realized that something was wrong. She quickly knelt down in front of the queen mother and begged. But the queen mother is cruel and cruel. How can she comply with them? She tossed her sleeve and said, "if you want to get to heaven, you can see the clouds in the fog of Kanghe river." With that, he left. the golden girl prays for hopelessness and is pushed down from the clouds by the Dharma protector and falls on the Dukang river. The golden boy turns into a shrimp, and the jade girl turns into a duck, swimming in the same water. The duck is so hungry that he is dizzy, his mouth flattened, his eyes watered and he doesn't eat his lover to satisfy his hunger. Shrimp can only bow and cry, but also unable to help. They are looking forward to it! Hope! I hope that one day the Dukang river will be filled with fog, and the clouds will rise high along the fog. Who knows, the queen mother has signaled to Dukang river god that the fog should swim according to the water surface and is not allowed to pick up nine days. Therefore, the fog of Dukang river is still flat. Besides, after Jintongyunv was demoted to Dukang River, no one could make the millet wine they had brewed in Tiangong. After a long time, the wine jar cracked, and the smell of the wine made people drunk and dizzy. Many greedy immortals were drunk to death. The cruel queen poured the wine into the Jiuquan of Dukang River, trying to get the golden girl drunk. Who would have thought that after the immortal wine was poured into Jiuquan, there was wine fragrance everywhere. As soon as Jin Tong smelled the aroma, he went to the Jiuquan and drank it. He was red all over. He walked around and forgot the past. He married another shrimp. The duck couldn't bear to hurt Jin Tong. He often used water to satisfy his hunger. For a long time, his stomach grew bigger and his neck grew longer and longer. Later, when he saw Bo's lover looking for another lover, he was so angry that he opened his mouth and began to eat shrimps. because the jade girl ate the bone and blood of the golden boy, the eggs she laid became blood red. At this time, Jin Tong regretted it, but he had no way to explain it to her, so he had to hide with his wife in the crevice of the stone and under the grass every day. As time went on, they ducked, hunched, hugged each other, and could not be separated any more. At present, the shrimp in Dukang village are still two people crouching around each other. The maiden, who was unmarried all her life, often cried and turned her eyes into tears. Until the duck on the Dukang river was still full of tears, some people called it tearful duck.
