How did the story of WU GANG cutting Guangxi come from?

Wugang's story of cutting laurel: According to legend, laurel trees are flourishing in front of Guanghan Palace, more than 500 feet high. A person often cuts from below, but every time he finishes cutting, the cut place will be closed immediately. For thousands of years, this laurel will never be cut down. It is said that the person who cut down trees was WU GANG, a native of Xihe in Han Dynasty. He followed the fairy to heaven, but he made a mistake. The immortal demoted him to the moon palace and did this futile and painful work day after day as punishment. In Li Bai's poem, there is a record that a person wants to live in the middle of the moon and earn money for those who are cold.

Legend has it that there is a laurel tree 500 feet high on the moon. In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named WU GANG, who was fascinated by the immortal way and didn't concentrate on his studies. Therefore, Tiandi was very angry. Shut him in the moon palace and tell him to cut down the laurel tree in the moon palace. He said that if you cut down the laurel tree, you will get magic. However, every time WU GANG cut an axe, the wound of the tree healed immediately. Day after day, WU GANG's desire to cut laurel still hasn't come true. Therefore, WU GANG was cutting laurels in the Moon Palace all the year round, and would never cut down trees, so that future generations could see the picture of WU GANG cutting laurels constantly in the middle of the month. See "Duan Shicheng Youyang Miscellaneous" in Tang Dynasty, Volume I, published edition.

Legend 2: WU GANG, also known as Wu Quan, was born in Xihe. Yan Di's Sun Bailing had an affair with WU GANG's wife, while WU GANG had been away from home for three years. He also gave birth to three sons. WU GANG killed Berlin in a rage, angered Emperor Yan, sent WU GANG to the moon and ordered him to cut off the immortal laurel. Laurel trees are 500 feet high and can be cut down at will. Emperor Yan used this endless labor to punish WU GANG. WU GANG's wife also felt guilty about her husband's experience and ordered her three sons to fly to the moon to accompany WU GANG. One becomes a toad, one becomes a rabbit, and one is unknown.

Legend 3: WU GANG in the worse heaven approaches Chang 'e on the moon, but often hangs up to greet Chang 'e and neglects his duty. When the Jade Emperor knew this, he was very angry and punished WU GANG for cutting down a big tree called Moon Tree. If WU GANG hadn't cut down all the moon trees, he wouldn't have gone back to the south gate to meet Chang 'e. WU GANG cut and cut for half a year from winter to summer. Seeing that the tree was about to be cut down, the Jade Emperor sent a crow to the moon tree, and with a swish, he took WU GANG's coat from the tree. WU GANG immediately put down his axe and went after the crow. After finding clothes, WU GANG went back to the tree and saw that all the branches and leaves that had been cut had grown back to the tree. From then on, when WU GANG tried to cut down a big tree, the crow stood on the tree and shouted. As long as WU GANG stops his axe and takes a look, the tree will grow branches again. In this way, year after year, WU GANG always cut down the moon tree. Only on August 16 every year, a leaf falls from the moon to the ground. If someone picks up the leaves of this moon tree, they will get inexhaustible gold and silver jewelry.

It is said that the No.4 Wugang felling of Guangxi produced the best wine in the world-osmanthus wine. In WISCO, more trees are cut down every day. After thousands of years, the magical osmanthus tree is still ancient and full of vitality. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, its fragrance will overflow. WU GANG knew that there were no osmanthus trees in the world, so he spread the seeds of osmanthus trees all over the world. In ancient times, there lived a widow selling wild grapes at the foot of two mountains in Hangzhou. She is generous and kind, and her wine is mellow and sweet. People respect her and call her fairy wine. One winter, I was frozen by snow and ice. Early in the morning, Mrs. Fairy Wine just opened the door. Suddenly, she saw a thin, naked middle-aged man lying outside the door, as if he were a beggar.

The fairy touched the man's nose and mouth. When she caught her breath, she was very sympathetic. No matter what she says about her, take him home, give him hot soup and feed him half a glass of wine. The man slowly recovered and said excitedly, thank you for saving his life. . I am paralyzed. I don't have to freeze to death when I go out I had to starve to death. Please kindly take me in for a few days. Mrs. Xianjiu is embarrassed, because as the saying goes, there is not much snow in front of the widow's door. If such a man lives at home, others will gossip. But think again, you can't watch him freeze to death and starve to death! Finally agreed to let him stay.

As expected, the rumor about the fairy drinking soon spread, everyone alienated her, and fewer and fewer people came to the hotel to buy wine every day. But Brewmaster endured the pain and took care of men wholeheartedly. Later people didn't come to buy wine, and she couldn't stay, so the man left without saying goodbye and went somewhere. Fairy wine lady couldn't help worrying and looking around. On the hillside, she met an old man with white hair, who was carrying a load of dry wood and walking hard. The fairy was about to help when suddenly the old man fell down and the dry wood was scattered all over the floor. The old man closed his eyes, his lips trembled, and he shouted weakly: water, water, where is the water on the barren hills and slopes? The fairy bit her middle finger after drinking. Suddenly, the blood came out. She put her finger on the old man's mouth and he suddenly disappeared.

In the breeze, a yellow cloth bag is flying in the sky, which contains many small yellow paper bags, and there is a yellow note that says: Moon Palace rewards the devil with good people. A tall tree is full of flowers. Picking flowers to brew osmanthus wine, give it to mom and dad first. WU GANG helps good people, but he is cunning. The fairy found that WU GANG traded firewood for Han and the old man who were paralyzed. As soon as the story spread, people from far and near came to look for the devil. Kind people planted the seeds of osmanthus trees, and soon osmanthus trees and osmanthus flowers grew out, filling the courtyard with sweet and infinite scenery. For those people with bad ideas, the laurel seeds planted just don't take root, which makes them feel embarrassed. Since then, they have turned over a new leaf and become kind. Everyone is grateful to the fairy for drinking. This is her kindness. She touched WU GANG Daxian, who manages the laurel trees in the Moon Palace, and brought Gui Xiang wine to the world. Since then, there have been osmanthus and osmanthus wine in the world.

At that time, WU GANG's wife named her three sons because of her inner guilt. One is a drum, the other is a face, and the other is a face. She flew to the moon and spent the long and endless cold years with their nominal father. WU GANG's three sons, named Drum, became toads, named Yan, became rabbits, and were named Unknown. From then on, I began to make arrows, drums and extenders, clocks and chimes, and music rules. Therefore, the lonely Guanghan Palace is often full of fairy-tale music.

Later, when Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty roamed the Moon Palace, he recorded these travel music and then returned to earth to create songs about dressing. Legend has it that WU GANG met Emperor Tang Ming while walking in the Moon Palace! But at that time, his face was very tired, his axe was covered with black rust, and his old sleeves were worn out because no one sewed them.
