In the Moon Palace, WU GANG tried to cut down a thousand-year-old laurel tree. Why does WU GANG have a problem with Guishu?

Legend has it that there is a laurel tree 500 feet high on the moon. There was a man named WU GANG in the Han Dynasty who was obsessed with fairy tales and didn't concentrate on reading. So the Emperor was furious and shut him up in the Moon Palace, telling him to cut down the osmanthus tree, saying, "Cutting down the osmanthus tree will have magic." However, every time WU GANG cuts an axe, the tree wound will heal immediately. Day after day, WU GANG's desire to cut laurel was not realized. Therefore, WU GANG cut laurels in the Moon Palace all the year round, but he still couldn't cut down trees, so later generations can see the image of Wu Gang cutting laurels endlessly in the middle of the month. See Tang Duan's "Shicheng Youyang Miscellaneous Volume My Day".

Legend 2

WU GANG, also known as Wu Quan, is a native of Xihe. Sun Boling, the son of Emperor Yan, had an affair with WU GANG's wife when he left home for three years in WU GANG, and gave birth to three sons. WU GANG killed Boling in a rage, angered Emperor Yan, sent WU GANG to the moon, and ordered him to cut down the immortal tree-laurel. The laurel tree is 500 feet high and can be cut down together. Emperor Yan used this endless labor as a punishment for 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 became a toad, one became a rabbit, and one was unknown. See Shan Hai Jing.

Legend 3

WU GANG in The Worse Gate is close to Chang 'e on the moon, but he often hangs to greet Chang 'e and neglects his duty. When the Jade Emperor knew about it, he was very angry. He sent WU GANG to cut down a big tree called Moon Tree on the moon. If WU GANG doesn't cut down all the moon trees, he can't go back to the worse gate and see Chang 'e.

WU GANG cut and cut for half a year from winter to summer. When 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 hanging on the tree. WU GANG immediately put down his axe and went after the crow. After the clothes were taken back, WU GANG returned to the tree and saw that all the branches and leaves that had been cut were born on the tree again. From then on, whenever Wu Gang wanted to cut down a tree, crows would stand on the tree and crow loudly. As long as WU GANG stops to take a look at the axe, the tree will grow branches again.

In this way, year after year, WU GANG cut down more trees than this moon tree. Only on August 16 every year will a leaf fall from the moon to the ground. Anyone who finds the leaves of this moon tree will get inexhaustible gold and silver jewelry.

Legend No.4

WU GANG cut osmanthus to make the best wine in the world-osmanthus wine.

WU GANG cuts down trees every day. Thousands of years have passed, and that magical osmanthus tree is still as old and full of vitality. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, I miss my parents twice. Knowing that there were no osmanthus trees in the world, WU GANG passed the seeds of osmanthus trees to 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 delicious. People respected her and called her Brewmaster. One winter, there was ice and snow. Early in the morning, Miss Xianjiu just opened the door and suddenly saw a skinny, naked middle-aged man lying outside, obviously a beggar. Fairy wine lady touched the man's nose and mouth, and when she still had some breath, she was very kind. No matter what others said about her, she carried him home, first filled him with hot soup and fed him half a glass of wine.

The man woke up slowly and said excitedly, thank you, madam, for saving your life. I am paralyzed. If I go out, I won't freeze to death, but I will starve to death. Please be kind and take me in for a few more days.

Lady Xianjiu was embarrassed, because as the saying goes, there was nothing in front of the widow's door. If a man like this lives at home, others will gossip. But think again, you can't watch him freeze to death or starve to death! Finally agreed to let him stay for a while.

As expected, the gossip about Miss Xianjiu spread quickly, and everyone alienated her, and fewer and fewer people came to the hotel to buy wine.

But miss Xianjiu endured the pain and took care of the man wholeheartedly. Later people didn't come to buy wine, and she couldn't keep going. The man didn't take French leave and didn't know where to go.

Mrs. Xianjiu was uneasy, looking around, and met an old man with white hair on the hillside, carrying a load of dry wood and walking hard. Mrs. Xianjiu was about to help when the old man suddenly fell down and the dry wood was scattered all over the floor. The old man closed his eyes, his lips trembled, and he shouted feebly: Water, water … Where is water on the barren hills and slopes? Fairy wine lady bit her middle finger, and suddenly, blood flowed. She put her finger on the old man's mouth and he suddenly disappeared.

A breeze, a yellow cloth bag flying in the sky, containing many small yellow paper bags, and a yellow note that read:

The Moon Palace gives laurel seeds and rewards good people. Gao Fu Gui Shu Bi, life is full of flowers and trees. Pick flowers to brew osmanthus wine, and send it to mom and dad first. WU GANG is helpful, but treacherous.

Mrs. Fairy Wine realized that this paralytic and the old man with firewood were all changed by Wu Gang. As soon as the story spread, people from far and near came to ask for cinnamon.

Good-hearted people plant cinnamon seeds, and will soon grow osmanthus trees, which will bloom with sweet and infinite scenery.

For people with ulterior motives, the planted cassia seeds just don't take root and sprout, which makes them feel embarrassed and turn their hearts to goodness.

Everyone is very grateful to miss fairy wine. It was her kindness that moved WU GANG Daxian, who managed osmanthus trees in the Moon Palace, and brought osmanthus wine to the world. Since then, osmanthus and osmanthus wine have emerged in the world.

At that time, WU GANG's wife, because of her inner guilt, called her three sons, one named Drum, one named Yan and the other named Yan, and flew to the moon together to accompany their nominal father through the long and endless cold years. WU GANG's three sons, one named Drum, became a toad, one named Yan, a rabbit, and the other named Yun, became "nameless" Tiangui. Since then, arrows have been made, bells and chimes have been made of drums and drums, and the composition of music has also been formulated. So the lonely Guanghan Palace is often filled with Yue Xian.

Later, when Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty roamed the Moon Palace, he recorded these pieces of music and returned to the world and created Song of Nishang. Legend has it that when Emperor Tang Ming roamed the Moon Palace, WU GANG also met him! It's just that his face was tired, his axe was covered with black rust, and his worn-out sleeves were worn out because no one mended them.

This is the first time that WU GANG made osmanthus wine, the best wine in the world, in the era of five emperors in ancient China! ! !
