Please help me find fairy tales

Cangjie coined characters

This can be regarded as an old saying.

It is said that Cangjie served as an official under the Yellow Emperor. At that time, officials did not show any prestige. They were just like ordinary people, but the division of labor was different. Huangdi assigned him to manage the number of animals in the pen and the amount of food in the village. Cangjie was a very smart man, and he worked hard and diligently. He quickly became familiar with the animals and food in his charge, and he knew what he was doing, so he rarely made mistakes. But slowly, the storage of livestock and food gradually increased and changed, and I can't remember it just by thinking about it. There was no writing at that time, let alone paper and pen. What to do? Cangjie was in trouble.

Cangjie thought of a way all day and night. First, he tied knots on the rope, using ropes of different colors to represent various animals and food. The knots tied with the ropes represented each number. But over time, it won’t work. This increased number is easy to tie a knot in the rope, but when the number is reduced, it is troublesome to untie the knot in the rope. Cangjie then thought of making circles on the rope and hanging various shells in the circles to replace the things he was in charge of. If it increases, add a shell; if it decreases, remove a shell. This method worked very well and I used it for several years.

Seeing that Cangjie was so capable, the Yellow Emperor asked him to take charge of more and more things. The number of annual sacrifices, the distribution of hunting, and the increase or decrease in the number of tribesmen were all put in charge of Cangjie. Cangjie made a mistake again. Adding ropes and hanging shells was no longer enough. How can we avoid making mistakes?

On this day, he participated in a group hunting. When he came to a three-way intersection, several old people started arguing about which way to go. An old man insisted on going east, saying there were antelopes; an old man wanted to go north, saying he could catch deer not far ahead; an old man insisted on going west, saying there were two tigers, and if he didn't kill them in time, he would miss the opportunity. . When Cangjie asked, it turned out that they only identified the beast by looking at its footprints underground. Cangjie was suddenly delighted: Since a footprint represents a beast, why can't I use a symbol to represent the things in my charge? He happily ran home and began to create various symbols to represent things. Sure enough, things were managed in an orderly manner.

When Huangdi learned about it, he praised it greatly and ordered Cangjie to go to various tribes to teach this method. Gradually, the usage of these symbols was widely spread. Just like that, words were formed.

Cangjie created Chinese characters, and Huangdi thought highly of him. Everyone praised him, and his reputation grew. Cangjie's mind started to get a little hot, and his eyes slowly moved upward, to the top of his head and into his heart. He looked down on no one, and his handwriting became sloppy.

When these words reached Huang Di’s ears, Huang Di was very angry. In his eyes, he could not tolerate a minister becoming evil. How to make Cangjie realize his mistake? Huang Di summoned the eldest man around him to discuss the matter. The old man's long beard was tied with more than 120 knots, indicating that he was over 120 years old. The old man pondered for a while and went to find Cangjie alone.

Cangjie was teaching literacy to people from various tribes. The old man sat silently at the end, listening as carefully as everyone else. After Cangjie finished speaking, everyone else left, except the old man who stayed at the same place. Cangjie was a little curious and asked him why he didn't leave.

The old man said: "Cangjie, the characters you created are already well-known to everyone, but I am old and dazzled, and some of the characters are still confused. Are you willing to teach me again?"

Cangjie was very happy to see such an old man respecting him so much, and urged him to speak quickly.

The old man said: "The characters for 'horse', 'donkey' and 'mule' that you created all have four legs, right? And cows also have four legs. The character for 'ox' that you created How come there are no four legs and only one tail left?"

When Cangjie heard this, he felt a little panic: when he originally made the word "fish", he wrote it like "ox", so he made "ox". The character is written like "fish". It's all my fault for being careless and teaching things upside down.

The old man went on to say: "The word 'heavy' you made means that it is thousands of miles away. You should pronounce the word 'out' as far away, but you taught people to pronounce 'heavy' as weight." On the other hand, the word "chu" that combines two mountains should be the word "heavy" for weight, but you changed it into the word "chu" for traveling far away. These words are really hard for me to figure out. I have no choice but to come and ask you for advice."

At this time, Cangjie was so ashamed that he knew that he had made a big mistake because of his pride. These words have been taught to every tribe and spread throughout the world, and cannot be changed. He quickly knelt down and expressed his repentance with tears.

The old man took Cangjie's hand and said sincerely: "Cangjie, you created words so that the experience of our older generation can be recorded and passed on. You have done a great thing and it will be passed down from generation to generation." People will remember you. "

From then on, every time Cangjie coined a word, he would think over the meaning of the word and ask for people's opinions. Don’t dare to be careless. It was settled after everyone agreed, and then it was gradually spread to every tribe.

Chang'e flew to the moon. Chang'e turned out to be a beautiful and kind-hearted village girl. She was hardworking, simple, lively and lovely, especially with a shining heart of gold. She always tried her best to do good things for the people. Chang'e had a lover named Hou Yi, who was an excellent archer and a good young man.

One day, Chang'e and several of her best female companions were doing laundry by the river near the village.

Unexpectedly, the idle and evil-minded river god He Bo was wandering here. When he saw Chang'e's graceful appearance, he was immediately astonished. He turned into a handsome young man and walked over to talk to Chang'e with a stern look on his face. Chang'e saw that he had evil intentions and hurriedly ran away, but Hebo showed his true face and wanted to force Chang'e into the water. At this critical moment, Hou Yi arrived. When he saw it, he was so angry that his sword eyebrows stood up and he was furious. He picked up his bow and arrow, and with a "swish" sound, he blinded one of He Bo's eyes. He Bo was in unbearable pain. He screamed and jumped into the river.

After this incident, Chang'e and Hou Yi were afraid that they would have long nights and dreams, so they got married early. After marriage, the two lived very happily. Of course, they are not completely immersed in the happiness of a small family. Their two kind hearts always want to do something good for the fellow villagers.

One year, ten suns appeared in the sky, and the earth was about to catch fire. People are unable to farm and live, and are in danger of being exterminated. Hou Yi was determined to shoot down the extra nine suns and save the people from the sea of ??fire. He sweats profusely every day and practices archery hard. However, He Bo hated him deeply and kept coming to harass him. He vowed to take revenge and even steal the beauty Chang'e that he had always been coveted. For this reason, Hou Yi was very agitated and distracted.

One day, an immortal gave Hou Yi a pill of elixir and kindly told him that He Bo was eager for revenge and he was about to face a catastrophe. If he took this pill, he would be able to get rid of everything in the world. Sufferings and troubles rise to the moon palace; however, you must first be able to endure the torment of loneliness. After Hou Yi heard this, he returned home restlessly, told Chang'e truthfully what the immortal said, and then fell asleep tiredly.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Chang'e became restless. She walked around the room and looked at her husband who was getting thinner day by day. She felt very painful. She loved Hou Yi deeply and never wanted him to suffer any hardships. However, she also thought that her husband still shouldered the important task of shooting down the nine suns, and the villagers who were suffering from the barbecue needed him to save him. Chang'e knew very well that He Bo's threats to her husband came from herself. He Bo still has not given up on her. He will do anything bad to get her. What should he do? Chang'e was thinking and thinking, and suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: In order to make He Bo give up on her, in order to let her husband eliminate all distracting thoughts and interference, and wholeheartedly shoot down the nine suns to serve the people, she was determined to sacrifice Own. Having made up her mind, she hurriedly found the elixir and swallowed it.

After a while, Hou Yi woke up. He found that Chang'e was restless and her face was glowing with a magical red light. He was very surprised and felt ominous. Chang'e looked at her husband affectionately. She knew that her time with her husband was running out, so she told her husband with tears in her eyes to cherish herself and asked him to forgive her for not being able to fulfill her obligations as a wife. Before she finished speaking, Chang'e felt in a daze, her body suddenly became lighter, and then her feet flew off the ground. As she flew into the sky, she turned back and shouted loudly: "Houyi, my good husband, farewell forever." Be careful!"

Chang'e rose slowly and flew into the lonely and deserted Guanghan Palace in the moon, becoming the fairy in the moon. However, there are no relatives or laughter here, only a cute jade rabbit cuddling with each other, and only Wu Gang, who is always cutting down the osmanthus tree but can never cut it down, for company.

Since Chang'e sacrificed herself and flew to the Moon Palace, Hou Yi turned pain and melancholy into strength. Hou Yi understood that his wife's actions were for the sake of himself and the people. He was deeply moved and inspired, and practiced his archery skills day and night. Finally, he defeated He Bo's challenge and shot down nine suns that were harmful to living beings. , saved mankind. There is joy in the world, and the villagers live a peaceful and peaceful life.

The Emperor of Heaven was also moved by Chang'e and Hou Yi's spirit of sacrificing themselves for the happiness of their fellow villagers. Later, he made Hou Yi a general and reunited the two on the Mid-Autumn Festival. From then on, Chang'e and Hou Yi lived a happy life in heaven. At the same time, the Emperor of Heaven also stipulated that the moon would be round on the fifteenth day of each month, in order to wish flowers to bloom on the full moon night, and lovers in the world to get married.

A long time ago, there was a king named Emperor Wang of the Shu Kingdom in Sichuan. Emperor Wang is a good emperor who is loved by everyone. He loved the people and production, and often led Sichuan people to reclaim wasteland and plant grains. After many years of hard work, the Kingdom of Shu was built into a beautiful and prosperous land of abundance.

One year, in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, a giant turtle in a well turned into an elf and transformed into a human form. However, he died for unknown reasons as soon as he came to the world from the well. The strange thing is that wherever the dead body is, the river will flow westward. So, the body of the turtle spirit floated up the Yangtze River from Jingshui River with the west flowing water, passed the Three Gorges, passed Balu, and finally reached the Minjiang River. When the turtle spirit floated to the foot of Minshan Mountain, he suddenly came to life. He ran to pay homage to Emperor Wang and called himself "the turtle spirit". Coincidentally, Turtle Ling saw Emperor Wang frowning and sighing, so he hurriedly asked why he was so melancholy. When Emperor Wang saw Turtle Ling, he liked his intelligence and sincerity very much, so he told him the reason.

It turned out that there was a large group of dragons, snakes and ghosts that were driven away by the Shu people by burning mountains and clearing up wasteland. They were unwilling to leave the treasure land of the Kingdom of Abundance, and they were even more unwilling to see the Shu people build their homeland into a paradise. So they used monsters to Using this technique, all the big rocks from the original area in western Sichuan were transported to the valleys around Kui Gorge and Wu Gorge, and they were piled into high mountains and built into dragon caves and ghost dens. They made waves there every day and blocked the floods that flowed back to the sea. As a result, the water flow is getting bigger and bigger, and the water level is getting higher and higher, burying people's houses, crops and even lives in the ruthless flood. Large tracts of terraced fields and flat plains, where people live, have turned into a dark and filthy seabed. This situation of people suffering has been going on for a long time, but no one can do anything about it. As a result, Emperor Wang didn't think about the tea, the rice didn't taste good, and he felt uncomfortable.

After Turtle Spirit heard this, he said to Emperor Wang: "I have the ability to control water, and I am not afraid of dragons, snakes, ghosts and monsters. With our wisdom, we will definitely defeat evil." Emperor Wang was overjoyed and worshiped He became the prime minister and ordered him to go to Wushan to eliminate ghosts and open rivers to release water to save the people.

Tie Ling received the imperial edict and brought many capable soldiers, horses and craftsmen along the river to Wushan. He fought with the dragons and snakes for six days and six nights before catching the vicious and stubborn dragons and snakes. He was imprisoned in Shanglaoguan under Yanlidui. Then, he led the people to fight with the ghosts for nine days and nine nights before he captured those evil and cunning ghosts and imprisoned them in the Ghost Gate in Wushan Gorge. Then, Turtle Ling started to carve the rocky mountains in the Wushan area into winding canyons such as Kui Gorge, Wu Gorge, Xiling Shaanxi, etc., and finally guided the monstrous floods accumulated in the Shu Kingdom along the seven hundred-mile long river. The East China Sea has gone. The Kingdom of Shu once again became a land of abundance with happy people and abundant products.

Emperor Wang was a king who loved talents. Seeing that Turtle Ling had made such great contributions to the people and that his talents were higher than his own, he chose a good day and held a grand ceremony to give up the throne. He gave it to Turtle Ling and lived in seclusion in the Western Mountains.

When Turtle Ling became the king, he was "obedient to the emperor". He led the Shu people to build water conservancy projects, cultivate fields, and did many great deeds that benefited the country and the people. The people lived a happy life, and Emperor Wang also lived a life of pure heart and few desires in Xishan.

However, the situation slowly changed later. Emperor Cong was a little arrogant and arrogant, became arbitrary, did not listen to the opinions of his subjects, and did not care about the lives of the people. People are worried about this.

When the news reached Xishan, King Wangdi was very anxious. He often had trouble eating and sleeping restlessly. He was still pacing his room in the middle of the night, thinking of ways to persuade Emperor Cong. Finally, he decided to go to the palace in person to persuade Emperor Cong. So, the next morning, he set off from Xishan into the city to visit Emperor Cong.

This news was soon known to the common people. Everyone sincerely hoped that Emperor Cong would repent and reflect, so they followed the old king Wangdi in large groups and entered the palace to petition. As a result, They formed a very long team.

This has made things more difficult. Emperor Cong saw this momentum from a distance and became suspicious, thinking that the old king wanted to take back the throne from him and bring the people to overthrow him. Emperor Cong was panicked and hurriedly ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, preventing Lao Wang and the common people from entering the city.

Wang Di Lao Wang could not enter the city. He leaned against the city gate and cried bitterly for a while, and had no choice but to return to Xishan. However, Wangdi Laowang felt that he had the responsibility to help Emperor Cong wake up and govern the world. He must find a way to enter the city. He thought and thought again and again, and finally thought that only by turning into a flying bird could he fly into the city gate, into the palace, fly to the top of a high tree, and personally tell Emperor Cong the truth of loving the people and peace of mind. So he turned into a cuckoo bird that could fly and sing.

The cuckoo flapped its wings and flew, flying from the Western Mountain into the city, then flew into the high palace wall, and flew to the nanmu tree in the emperor's imperial garden, shouting loudly : "The people are precious! The people are precious!"

It turned out that Emperor Cong was also a Qingming emperor, and he was also a king who was worshiped as a god by the people of Sichuan. After listening to Du Juan's advice, he understood Lao Wang's good intentions, realized that he was suspicious, and felt very guilty. From then on, he became more considerate of the people's sentiments and became a truly good emperor.

However, Emperor Wang had turned into a cuckoo, and he could not change back to his original form. Moreover, he was determined to advise future kings to love their people. Therefore, the cuckoo bird he transformed into always shouted to the emperors for thousands of years day and night: "The people are precious! The people are precious!" However, few emperors in the future listened to him, so he suffered. She screamed in pain, cried out blood, and dyed her mouth red. She was still unwilling to give in, and she still shouted "people are noble" with all her sincerity!

Future generations were moved by the cuckoo’s spirit of hard work. Therefore, generations of Sichuan people have solemnly passed down the rule of “no beating the cuckoo” as a sign of Respect.

Huang Di fights Chi You

After Huang Di defeated Yan Di, many princes wanted to support him as emperor. However, the descendants of Emperor Yan were unwilling to surrender to Huangdi and provoked wars several times, especially Chiyou.

Chi You is the grandson of Emperor Yan. It is said that Chi You was cruel and warlike by nature. He had eighty-one brothers, all of whom were beasts that could speak human language. Each of them had a copper head and an iron forehead, and used stones and iron blocks as food. Chi You originally belonged to the Yellow Emperor, but after Emperor Yan's defeat, Chi You discovered copper mines at the foot of Mount Lu. They made the copper into swords, spears, halberds, shields and other weapons. Their military power was greatly enhanced, and they became ambitious to avenge Emperor Yan. .

Chiyou united Fengbo, Yushi and Kuafu tribesmen to challenge Huangdi aggressively.

Huang Emperor loved the people by nature and did not want to fight. He always wanted to persuade Chi You to make a truce. However, Chi You did not listen to the advice and repeatedly violated the boundaries. Huang Di had no choice but to sigh and said: "If I lose the world and Chi You takes over, my subjects will suffer. If I tolerate Chi You, I will be feeding a tiger to disaster. Now that he is not benevolent and righteous and just invades, I can only punish him." Righteousness!" So Huang Di personally led his troops to fight against Chi You.

Huang Di first sent General Ying Long to fight. Yinglong can fly and spray water from its mouth. As soon as it enters the battle, it flies into the sky and sprays water at Chi You's battle formation from a high position. In an instant, the water surged and the waves rushed towards Chi You. Chi You hurriedly ordered Feng Boyu to go into battle. One of the Feng Bo and the Rain Master blew up the violent winds in the sky, and the other collected the water sprayed by Yinglong. In turn, the two of them used their divine power to blow the wind and rain, and beat the violent storms towards the Yellow Emperor's array. Yinglong could only spray water, but could not collect it. As a result, Huangdi returned defeated.

Soon, Huang Di reorganized his army, regained his military power, and faced Chi You again. Huang Di took the lead and led his troops into Chi You's formation. Chi You cast a spell this time, breathing smoke and mist, covering Huang Di and his army. Huang Di's army could not distinguish its direction or see the enemy clearly. It was trapped in the smoke and could not escape the siege. At this critical moment, Huang Di had an idea and suddenly looked up and saw the Big Dipper in the sky. The handle of the dipper was rotating but the head remained motionless. He invented a compass based on this principle and determined a direction. Then Huang Di led his army to rush out. A tight siege.

In this way, Huang Di and Chi You fought seventy-one battles back and forth. The result was that Huang Di won less and lost more, and Huang Di felt very anxious. On this day, Huang Di was thinking hard about how to defeat Chi You, and fell asleep unconsciously. He dreamed that the Nine Heavens Xuannv gave him a military book and said: "Take it back and memorize the military symbols in your heart, and you will defeat the enemy in battle!" After that, he drifted away. After Huang Di woke up, he found that he really had a copy of "Yang Fu Jing" in his hand. When he opened it, he saw several hieroglyphics painted on it: "Tian Yi is in front, Tai Yi is behind." Huang Di suddenly understood the solution, so he set up nine formations with eight gates according to Xuannv's art of war, and arranged three oddities and six rituals in the formation. , to control Yin and Yang's two escapes, the exercise changed and became an eighteen hundred formation, called the "Tianyi Dunjia" formation. Huang Di became familiar with the drill and led his troops to fight Chi You again.

In order to boost the military power, Huangdi decided to use military drums to boost morale. He inquired about Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea. There lived a slow beast named "Kui" on the mountain. Its roaring sound was like thunder. Huangdi sent people to capture Kui and peel off its skin to make drum heads. The sound was loud. Huangdi also sent people to capture the thunder beast in Lei Ze, and took out the largest bone from its body to use as a drumstick. Legend has it that the Kui Niu drum can vibrate for five hundred miles with one strike, and can vibrate for 3,800 miles with several consecutive strikes. Huangdi also made eighty drums from cowhide, which greatly boosted the military power.

In order to completely defeat Chi You, Huangdi specially summoned his daughter Nvba to help him fight. Nvba is a god of drought, specializing in collecting clouds and stopping the rain. I usually live in the distant Kunlun Mountains.

Huang Di arranged a good lineup and fought Chi You again. When the two armies faced each other, Huangdi ordered the war drums to be beaten. When the eighty-sided cowhide drums and Kui cowhide drums sounded, the sound shook the heaven and the earth. Huang Di's soldiers became more courageous when they heard the drums; Chi You's soldiers were devastated when they heard the drums. Seeing that he was about to be defeated, Chi You and his eighty-one brothers used their divine power to attack fiercely and bravely. The two armies were fighting together, the mountains were shaking, the earth was shaking, the sun was shaking, the stars were falling, and they were inseparable.

Huang Emperor saw that Chi You was really difficult to deal with, so he ordered Yinglong to spray water. Yinglong opened his huge mouth, and river-like water spurted out from top to bottom. Chi You was unprepared and was knocked upside down. He also urgently ordered Feng Boyu Master to set off a violent storm and hit Huangdi's formation. The floods on the ground surged and the waves surged into the sky. The situation was very urgent. At this time, the female demon entered the battle. She used her magical power, and billowing heat waves radiated from her body in an instant. Wherever she went, the wind stopped and the rain subsided, and the scorching sun hit her head. Feng Bo and Yu Master were at a loss what to do and fled in a hurry. Huang Di led his army to catch up and kill Chi You. Chi You was defeated and fled.

Chi You's head was as hard as copper. He ate iron and stone. He could fly in the air and walk on cliffs as if he were walking on flat ground. Huang Di could not catch him. When they chased him to the middle of Jizhou, Huang Di suddenly had an inspiration and ordered his men to beat the Kui cowhide drum nine times in a row. This time, Chi You suddenly lost his soul and could not walk, so he was caught by Huang Di. Huang Di ordered people to put shackles on Chi You and kill him. Afraid that he would cause trouble after his death, he buried his body and head in two places. After Chi You died, the shackles on his body were taken off and thrown on the barren mountains, turning into a maple forest. Every maple leaf was stained with blood on Chi You's shackles.

After Huangdi defeated Chiyou, the princes all respected him as the emperor. This was Xuanyuan (the name of Huangdi) Huangdi. Huangdi Xuanyuan led the people to cultivate farmland and settle in the Central Plains, laying the foundation of the Chinese nation.

Jingwei Reclamation

The Sun God Yandi had a little daughter named Nvwa, who was his favorite daughter. Emperor Yan was not only in charge of the sun, but also in charge of grains and medicinal materials. He has many things to do. He goes to the East China Sea early every morning to direct the sun to rise, and does not return home until the sun sets.

When Emperor Yan was not at home, the girl would play alone. She really wanted her father to take her out to see where the sun rises in the East China Sea. But her father was busy with official duties and never took her there. On this day, the girl drove a small boat to the place where the sun rose in the East China Sea.

Unfortunately, there was a storm on the sea, and the mountain-like waves overturned the boat. The girl was swallowed by the ruthless sea and could never come back. Although Emperor Yan missed his daughter sadly, he could not use medicine to bring her back to life, so he could only lament and lament alone.

The baby girl died, and her spirit turned into a little bird with a flower head, a white beak and a shell, and red feet. It screamed "Jingwei, Jingwei", so people also called it this bird. The bird is the "Jingwei".

Jingwei hated the ruthless sea for taking away her young life, and she wanted revenge. Therefore, she kept picking up a pebble or a small branch from Fajiu Mountain where she lived, and spread her wings and flew high to the East China Sea. She flew back and forth on the rough sea, wailing sadly, and threw down stones and branches, trying to fill up the sea.

The sea roared and roared, laughing at her: "Forget it, little bird, you will never fill up the sea even if you do this job for a million years."

Jingwei replied to Dahai from high altitude: "Even if I work for ten million years, ten million years, until the end of the universe, the end of the world, I will eventually fill you up!"

" Why do you hate me so much?"

"Because you took away my young life, and you will take away many young and innocent lives in the future. I will continue to do it forever. One day. It will fill you up to the ground."

Jingwei flew and screamed, leaving the sea, and flew back to Fajiu Mountain to pick up stones and branches. She picked it up and threw it, flying back and forth for months and years, never stopping. Later, Jingwei and Petrel got married and gave birth to many birds. The female was like Jingwei and the male was like Petrel. Little Jingwei, like their mother, also holds rocks in their hands to fill the sea. To this day, they are still doing this kind of work.

People sympathized with Jingwei and admired Jingwei. They called it "the wronged bird", "the oath bird", "the ambition bird" and the "emperor's bird", and built a monument on the edge of the East China Sea. It is called "the place where Jingwei swears water".

Kuafu Chasing the Sun

In ancient times, in northern my country, there was a majestic Chengdu Zaitian Mountain. On the mountain lived a giant clan called the Kuafu clan. The leader of the Kuafu clan is called Kuafu. He is extremely tall, powerful, strong-willed and extraordinary in spirit. At that time, the world was desolate and backward, poisonous snakes and beasts were rampant, and people's lives were miserable. In order to survive for his tribe's property, Kuafu led his people to fight against savage beasts every day. Kuafu often hung the ferocious yellow snakes he caught on his ears as a decoration, and was proud of it.

One year, there was a severe drought. The fiery sun scorched the crops on the ground and dried up the water in the river. People were suffering from the heat and it was impossible to live. When Kuafu saw this scene, he became ambitious and vowed to catch the sun and make it obey people's instructions and serve everyone better.

One day, as the sun just rose from the sea, Kuafu took big steps from the edge of the East China Sea and began his daily journey.

The sun rotates rapidly in the sky, and Kuafu chases it on the ground like the wind. Kuafu kept chasing and chasing. When he was hungry, he picked wild fruits to satisfy his hunger. When he was thirsty, he drank river water to quench his thirst. When he was tired, he just took a nap. He kept encouraging himself in his heart: "Soon, we will catch up with the sun, and people's lives will be happy." He chased for nine days and nine nights, getting closer and closer to the sun, and the red and hot sun was right next to him. On the head.

Kuafu has crossed mountains and rivers, and is finally about to catch up with the sun in Yugu. At this time, Kuafu was very excited. But just when he reached out to catch the sun, due to excessive excitement, his body and mind were haggard. Suddenly, Kuafu felt dizzy and fainted. When he woke up, the sun was long gone.

Kuafu was still not discouraged. He gathered all his strength and was ready to set off again. But the closer he got to the sun, the stronger the sunlight became. Kuafu felt more and more anxious and unbearable. He felt that all the water in his body had been evaporated. It was urgent that he needed to drink a lot of water. So Kuafu stood up and walked to the Yellow River in the southeast. He knelt down and drank the water in the Yellow River. He drank the water in the Yellow River dry, and then went to drink the water in the Wei River. Who knows, even after he drank up the water from the Weihe River, his thirst was still not quenched. So, he planned to go north to drink water from Daze. However, Kuafu was too tired and thirsty. When he walked halfway, his body could no longer support him and he slowly fell down and died.

After Kuafu died, his body turned into a mountain. This is "Kuafu Mountain". It is said that it is located between Linghu Valley and Chiyu, thirty-five miles west of Lingbao County, Henan Province. The cane that Kuafu threw down when he died also turned into a peach forest like colorful clouds. The terrain of Taolin is dangerous, and later generations called it "Taolin Village".

Kuafu died, he did not catch the sun. But the Emperor of Heaven was moved by his sacrifice and brave heroic spirit, and punished the sun. From then on, his tribe had good weather every year and everything prospered. Kuafu's descendants live at the foot of Kuafu Mountain, have children and reproduce, and their lives are very happy.

Du Kang, the founder of winemaking

Du Kang, some say he was originally a minister under the Yellow Emperor.

After the Yellow Emperor established a tribal alliance, he tasted herbs and identified grains through Shennong, and began to cultivate land and grow food. Huangdi ordered Du Kang to manage the production of grain, and Du Kang was very responsible.

Due to the fertile land, good weather, and good harvests year after year, more and more grains were harvested. At that time, because there were no warehouses and no scientific storage methods, Du Kang piled the harvested grains in a cave. Over time, due to the humidity in the cave, the grains became moldy. . When Huang Di learned about this, he was very angry. He ordered Du Kang to be removed from his post and only asked him to be a food keeper. He also said that if the food was still moldy in the future, Du Kang would be executed.

Du Kang was suddenly demoted from a minister in charge of grain production to a grain custodian, and he felt very sad. But he also thought that Leizu, Fenghou, Cangjie and other ministers had all made inventions and made great contributions, but he had no merit and had committed a crime. Thinking of this, his anger disappeared, and he secretly made up his mind: he must do a good job in food storage. One day, Du Kang found an open space in the forest. Several big trees had died around him, leaving only thick trunks. The tree trunk was empty inside. Du Kang had an idea. He thought that if the grain was stored in tree holes, it might not get moldy. So, he hollowed out all the dead trees in the woods one by one. Within a few days, all the harvested grain was packed into the tree hole.

Unexpectedly, two years later, the grain stored in the tree hole slowly fermented after being blown by the wind, sun, and rain. One day, when Du Kang went up the mountain to check the grain, he suddenly found several goats, wild boars and rabbits lying around a dead tree containing grain. At first he thought these beasts were dead, but when he got closer, he found that they were still alive and seemed to be sleeping. Du Kang couldn't figure out the reason for a while, and while he was still wondering, a wild boar woke up. As soon as it saw the person coming, it immediately ran into the woods. Immediately afterwards, the goat and rabbit also woke up and ran away. Du Kang didn't bring his bow and arrows when he went up the mountain, so he didn't pursue him. He was about to walk back when he found two goats licking something with their tongues in front of the tree hole containing grain. Du Kang hurriedly hid behind a big tree to observe, and saw two goats licking for a while, then swaying, and they fell to the ground not far away. Du Kang quickly ran over and tied up the two goats, and then carefully examined what the goats had just licked on the tree hole with their tongues. Just don't look at it. Du Kang was shocked when he saw it. The hole in the tree where the food was originally stored has been cracked, and water is leaking out. Goats, wild boars and rabbits licked this water before falling to the ground. Du Kang smelled it with his nose, and the water that oozed out was particularly fragrant, and he couldn't help but take a sip. Although the taste is a bit spicy, it is particularly mellow. The more he tasted it, the more he wanted to taste it, and finally took several sips in succession. The drink didn't matter. Suddenly, I felt like the world was spinning. As soon as I took two steps forward, I couldn't help but fall to the ground and fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, when he woke up, he saw that one of the two goats that had been tied had run away, and the other was struggling. He turned over and felt full of energy and strength. He accidentally trampled the struggling goat to death. He took off the pointed-bottomed jar from his waist and filled half of it with the fragrant water seeping out of the tree hole.

After returning, Du Kang told the other people who kept the grain what he had seen, and gave everyone the fragrant water he brought back to taste. Everyone thought it was strange. Some people suggested reporting the matter to Huangdi as soon as possible, but some people disagreed. The reason was that Du Kang had spoiled the grain and was demoted. Now he put the grain into tree holes and turned it into water. If Huang Di knew about it, he would beat Du Kang half to death if he didn't kill his head. After hearing this, Du Kang calmly said to everyone: "Now, no matter whether it is good or bad, we can't hide it from Huang Di." With that, he picked up the pointed bottom jar and went to find Huang Di.

After listening to Du Kang's report, Huang Di carefully tasted the fragrant water he brought, and immediately discussed the matter with his ministers. The ministers agreed that this was a kind of vitality in the food, not poisonous water. Huang Di did not blame Du Kang, but ordered him to continue to observe and carefully ponder the truth. He also ordered Cangjie to give the water with a strong fragrance a name. Cangjie said casually: "This water is fragrant and mellow. Drinking it will make you feel divine." After saying this, he made up the word "wine". Huangdi and his ministers all thought that this name was a good one.

Since then, the brewing industry in ancient my country began to appear. In order to commemorate Du Kang, later generations respected him as the ancestor of wine making.

Nuwa creates humans and mends the sky

Nuwa is a goddess with the body of a dragon and the tail of a dragon. After Pangu created the world, he also traveled everywhere in the world.

Nuwa glided on the earth, envious of the beautiful structures on Pangu's body. She loved trees, flowers and plants, but she was even more intoxicated by the more lively and energetic birds, beasts, insects and fish. After looking at them, Nuwa felt that Pangu's creation was not complete, and the intelligence of birds, animals, insects and fish was far from satisfying her. She wanted to create beings superior to any living thing. In this way, there will be life in the world that can dominate and manage all things, and the world will not be just a place full of weeds, wild beasts, and birds, and the world will not be lonely and desolate.

So, when Nu Huo was gliding along the Yellow River and looked down and saw her beautiful shadow, she couldn't help but feel happy. She decided to use the mud from the river bed to shape a clay figure in her own image.

Nuwa was ingenious and made it quickly.
