Legend of Sun Moon Lake (with story name)

Sun Moon Lake, located in Nantou County, Taiwan Province Province, is the largest natural freshwater lake on the island of Taiwan Province Province, between Yushan Mountain and Alishan Mountain. She is charming but not coquettish, she is serene but not indifferent, which brings visitors an open and quiet mind. According to reports, the lake is 760 meters above sea level, with a circumference of 35 kilometers, a water area of 9 square kilometers and a water depth of more than 30 meters at ordinary times.

As we all know, Sun Moon Lake has become a must for tourists, whether on the island of Taiwan Province Province or on the mainland.

Recently, after listening to the teacher's story about Sun Moon Lake in class, a primary school student in Chinese mainland came home and asked his parents to take him to Sun Moon Lake after the holiday. So, where is the mystery of Sun Moon Lake? Recently, I was honored to have the opportunity to go to Taiwan Province with the mainland economic and trade delegation and witness her beauty with my own eyes.

It was a clear day, and I came to Sun Moon Lake at ten in the morning. Suddenly, I felt a kind of excitement in my heart. The Sun Moon Lake in my dream instantly appeared in front of me, and my joy was beyond words. After getting off the bus, we will take yacht No.2. Just arrived at the yacht, a strong and kind man in his thirties greeted us: "Welcome everyone." I saw him alone. I think he may be a captain, a tour guide and a pilot. After boarding the ship, he sat in the driver's seat, picked up the receiver and briefly introduced himself. The yacht started and he became a commentator again. The yacht sails from the right. While enjoying the beautiful scenery on the shore, we listened to his explanation, as if we had entered another world. He said: There are many legends about Sun Moon Lake. First of all, it is said that the discovery of Sun Moon Lake is attributed to a deer. 300 years ago, 40 local villagers went hunting collectively and found a huge white deer running northwest, so they followed it. They chased for three days and nights, and the white deer disappeared into the forest. The mountain people searched in the mountains for three days and nights. On the fourth day, they walked through the forest, only to see a school of Bicheng Lake, surrounded by thousands of peaks and valleys and green forests. On a sunny day, they quietly shone with sapphire blue light, just like a pure baby snuggling in its mother's arms and sleeping soundly. The villagers also found that there was a round island in the clear water with dense forest, which divided the Great Lake into two halves. The semicircle is like the sun, and its water is red; Half is like a new moon, and the water is clear. So they called this big lake "Sun Moon Lake" and this small island "Zhuzi Island". The story is telling. When the yacht arrived at the island, everyone got off the boat for sightseeing and took pictures in front of the wooden model of the Sun Moon. We stood on the island and looked around, surrounded by green hills and water reflecting mountains. The lake is like a huge jasper plate. Zhuzi Island, a beautiful island in the pool, is like a bead on a jade plate. (Note: After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Zhuzi Island was renamed Guangfu Island to celebrate the recovery of Taiwan Province. Twenty minutes later, I boarded the ship again, and the captain continued to tell the wonderful story of Sun Moon Lake. Secondly, a long time ago, on the beautiful treasure island of Taiwan Province Province, there lived a brave young man Dajian and a beautiful girl Shuishe. They love each other and often meet under a big tree. Suddenly one day, the sun and the moon were swallowed up by a mysterious and strange shadow, and the whole earth fell into darkness. It turned out that two demon dragons who lived in the Black Water Pool stole the sun and the moon. Dajian and Shuishe are determined to save the Sun and Moon. They crossed the mountains and rivers, and with the help of small animals, they found a treasure that could subdue the demon dragon, killed the demon dragon and saved the sun and the moon. In order to protect the sun and the moon, they guard the pool and make the original black pool clear and beautiful, so people call it Sun Moon Lake. When we listened with relish, the yacht was approaching the shore, and the meaning was still unfinished. At this time, the captain said briefly: Sun Moon Lake has endless scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Especially in autumn night, the lake is lightly misty, and the bright moon is reflected in the lake, making the scenery more beautiful and moving. Every year when the Mid-Autumn Festival is full, young men and women of Gaoshan nationality will come to the pool to dance this ancient folk dance with thick and long bamboo poles and colored balls. They are repeating the folk stories of conquering dragons, pushing the sun and the moon into the sky, and letting Sun Moon Lake enjoy the glory of the sun and the moon forever. Hearing this, I think, if possible, I will visit Sun Moon Lake again this fall.

Legend of Sun Moon Lake

The legend of Sun Moon Lake is also very rich, and many legends in Taiwan Province Province have continuity. The legend of Sun Moon Lake mentioned below is related to the legend of Alishan mentioned earlier.

Sun Moon Lake was originally named Shuishe Lake. According to legend, two hundred years ago, a pair of dragons shot by Abari in Alishan fled to the north. When I came to Shuishe Village, I saw a pool of clear water below, which was like grasping the straw that saved my life. Both of them jumped into the lake to recuperate. Therefore, people call Shuishe Village Longhu.

One night, the sun passed by the lake. As soon as the Dragon Palace saw that the red sun looked like a big hydrangea, it stretched out its claws to catch the sun in the lake. A few hours later, the moon passed by the lake again. Mother Dragon reached out her claws and caught the moon in the lake. From then on, the world was dark, and innocent day and night could no longer be distinguished. Orion can't catch prey, farmers can't grow crops, and fishermen can't catch fish and shrimp. Abari heard that dragons were doing evil again and vowed to conquer them. He lit the torch under the guidance of Mazupo. Put an iron bow on your back, insert a golden arrow and set out for Shuishe Village. I don't know how many days later, Abari came to a clear stream, and the wide and deep stream blocked his way. Just as he was looking at the boundless stream and worried, suddenly there was a bright fire opposite, and a small fishing boat was rowing at the fire. A beautiful girl stood at the bow and nodded and smiled at him. The girl's name is Shuishemei, and she came to meet her at the order of Mazu's grandmother. So Abari jumped on the boat and crossed the stream. When they came to Longhu, two shiny things suddenly appeared in front of them, rolling up and down in the lake. This is the sun and the moon, which were swallowed by two dragons. Abari took the bent iron bow from his back, picked up a golden arrow, aimed at the water in the north for a while, and aimed at the water in the south for a while, but did not dare to shoot the arrow. The girl of Shuihui had already guessed Abari's mind, knowing that he was afraid that the dragon would bite the sun and the moon if it hurt. So she quickly took out two hydrangeas from her pocket, one for Tannan and the other for Tanbei. When the two dragons saw colorful colored balls, they quickly spit out the sun and the moon and held on to the colored balls. Just at that moment, the girl from Shuishe looked into the eyes of two dragons and pulled out two embroidery needles. The dragon was injured by an embroidery needle and rolled in the water. At this time, Abari sounded the bowstring, and two golden arrows went straight to the heads of two dragons. With a loud noise, two dragons fled to the nearby Qingshui River in the clouds. Qingshui River, the longest river in Taiwan Province Province, became a muddy river after the dragon churned.

Alibaba and the girls from the water club rushed to the pool, picked up the red sun and the shining moon and threw them into the sky. However, throwing it around always falls. Just then, Mazu flew in with Xiangyun and told them that there were two palm trees on the top of Yushan Mountain, which could hold the sun and the moon. Abari and the younger sister of the Water Society went through hardships again. They moved two palm trees from the top of Yushan Mountain, and finally put the sun and the moon on the zenith on August 15th of the lunar calendar. Abari and Shuihui's sister, in order to prevent evil spirits from returning to the pool, held big palm trees in their hands and waited on both sides of the pool. Over time, Abari and Shuishemei became two mountains. The mountain in Abari is high and sharp, and it goes straight into the sky. People call it Dajian Mountain. Sister Shuishe changed the mountain and looked down at Bitan affectionately. People call it Water Snake Mountain. Later, it was found that the northern part of Longhu was shaped like sun gear and the southern part was shaped like a crescent moon, so Longhu was renamed Sun Moon Lake.

Beautiful legends contain people's good wishes and rich imagination.

Another legend goes like this: In ancient times, there lived a young couple by the Daqingxi River. The man's name is Brother Dajian, and the woman's name is Sister Shuishe. They make a living by fishing. They are very hardworking, weaving nets to fish, doing pontoon fishing and diving into deep pools and rocks to fish. Life is very comfortable.

One day, the sun shone in the sky as usual, and they got into the stream to go fishing. Suddenly, with a loud noise, the earthquake struck and the river shook, so that nothing could be seen underwater. They quickly surfaced, ah! The sun disappeared and the world was dark.

In the evening, the moon came out, and the couple took advantage of the moonlight to mend their fishing nets at the gate. Suddenly I heard another loud noise, and the stones and houses on the ground jumped up. The moon disappeared in an instant. The world is dark. From this day on, there was neither the sun nor the moon in the sky, and the world was dark, making it impossible to distinguish innocent day from night.

Soon, the seedlings in the field turned yellow and white and could not grow. The trees on the mountain are also drooping with yellow and white leaves and shrinking. Flowers don't bloom and birds don't sing. Insects are crying and every family is sighing. Brother Dajian sat by the stream and whispered to Sister Shui: "How can I live like this?" The water snake sister grabbed a stone to hold down the stream and said, "Not only are we sad, but everyone's life is sad!" " "Brother big pointed said," the sun and the moon must have fallen to the ground. I want to find them and find our light. " Water snake sister said, "OK, let's go together!" " The young couple picked up the fire and walked to the depths of the mountain.

On the way, they saw a woman hunched over and listlessly burning a pile of firewood in a sugarcane field. The girl from the Water Society asked, "Why are you so depressed?" The woman sighed and said, "Without the sun and the moon, the planted land is white and nothing can grow!" " Brother Big Tip said, "You hoe the ground here, and we'll get the moon back!" " ! " "

They walked on and saw a young man holding a torch to herd cattle, lying lazily on the ground, still sighing. Brother Dajian said, "Excuse me, why are you sighing?" The young man looked at the sky and said, "Do you still need to ask? The sun is gone, the moon is gone, the cows have no grass to eat, and people can't live. " Water said, "Take a good look at this cow. We will definitely get the sun and the moon back. "

They walked on and passed mountains, rivers and wooded forests. But I just can't see the shadow of the sun and the moon. The torch went out, lit and lit again. Finally, one day, they came to a mountain and saw a bright, dark and bright place in the distance. When the young couple saw the hope, they couldn't help cheering: "There must be a sun and moon." They hopped and ran to the bright place with torches.

On the way, they saw an old man sitting at the door of the hut, sighing. The young couple went to see their father and talked to him.

Dad said,' Not far ahead, there is a deep pool. There are two dragons in the pond, a male dragon and a female dragon. One day, the sun crossed the sky, and the male dragon jumped up and swallowed it. At night, the moon crossed the sky, and the mother dragon jumped up and swallowed it. The two dragons swam around in the pool, spitting and swallowing the sun and the moon, hitting the ground like a big ball. Look, isn't the pool bright and dark? In other words, they just want to have some fun for themselves, but they didn't expect that thousands of people in Qian Qian can't live without the sun and the moon! Brother Dajian said, "Dad, we lit a fire to climb the mountain and wade, just to recapture our sun and moon and let thousands of people in Qian Qian live a good life. The old father said, "Dragons are fierce and can be swallowed by the sun and the moon. Can you young couples do it? " Water snake sister said: "believe us, we can do it!" Don't worry. " Say that finish, the young couple lit a fire and walked on.

Legend of Sun Moon Lake

When I got to the edge of the big pool, I saw two big dragons eating and drinking the sun and the moon in the pool, so I knocked loudly. Brother Dajian and sister Shuishe squatted on the big stone by the pool, observing the movements of the two dragons, and gently discussing how to kill the dragons and how to recapture the sun and the moon. Dragons have big mouths, so you can roll them in with your tongue. In terms of strength, they are no match for dragons. What shall we do? At this moment, smoke came out from under the big rock. They looked down. There is a deep cave under the big rock, from which smoke comes out. Brother Dajian said, "This cave must be the place where the Dragon people who lead to Tandi live. Let's go in and have a look. " This cave is dark and opaque, and has a musty smell. They walked for a long time, and the deeper they went, the wider the hole became. Suddenly found a fire ahead, and then went in to have a look, ah! It turned out to be the kitchen, and a white-haired mother-in-law was cooking by the stove. When they see that an old woman is kind-hearted, she will never be a bad person. Brother Dajian went over and asked, "Hello, old woman, are you cooking here?" The old woman found two young men standing in front of her. She quickly put down the spatula, grabbed their hands and said, "Ah! Son, I haven't seen anyone for a long time! What are your names? " Brother Dajian said, "We are a couple who catch fish by the stream. Her name is Shuishe, and my name is Dajian. Old woman, why are you here? " The old woman touched her white hair and shed tears. She said: "When I was young, I lived halfway up the mountain and my family lived a happy life. One day, I was hoeing in a sugarcane field in the back hill when a gust of wind blew and I saw two stout dragons rolling their tails to the ground in mid-air and sweeping me into this deep cave. Since then, I have to cook for the dragon every day, and the days have passed. I don't know how many years have passed. All I know is that my hair turned white and my round face turned into wrinkled eyelids. " At this moment, the old woman suddenly remembered something and said, "Son! Get out of here! When the dragons are tired of playing in the pool, they will go back to the cave to eat. When they see you, they will swallow it in one gulp. Go! " Brother Dajian said, "The dragon swallows the sun and the moon, and people on the ground are hard to live. Let's kill the dragon and take back our sun and moon. " The old woman said, "Son, this is a good thing, but how can you two kill the dragon?" Sister Shui Snake said, "Think about it, there must be a way!" The old woman thought for a moment and said, "When I was young, the dragon caught me here and cooked for them. Once, I once heard a conversation between a male dragon and a female dragon at dinner. The mother dragon proudly said: We are fearless dragons! Gong Long said: We are afraid of the golden axe and scissors at the bottom of Ali Mountain. If someone throws a golden axe and scissors into the pool, the golden axe will automatically split our skulls and the golden scissors will automatically cut our throats. Then we're screwed. The mother dragon panicked and said, let's go and destroy them! Gong Long said: Never mind, they are all buried at the bottom of the mountain, and no one knows. Even if you know, you can't dig it out! Son, if you want to kill the dragon and take back the sun and the moon, you can only dig out the golden axe and scissors at the foot of Alishan. "

Brother Dajian said, "Old woman, we can definitely dig out the golden axe and scissors. We'll pick you up when we kill the dragon. " The old woman gave them a big spatula and a fire fork and said,' This is a dragon's thing. Take it to dig mountains. Probably better than a hoe. "They arrived at the foot of Alishan. Brother Dajian digs the ground with a fork, and the water society digs the ground with a spatula. I don't know how many days later, a deep hole was dug at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, with a bang, the red light flashed in the cave, and the golden axe and scissors appeared. This young couple is so happy!

They ran and ran until the dragon lived in the big pool. It happened that the male dragon and the female dragon swam around the pool again, spit out the sun and moon and swallowed them, fighting one by one. Brother Dajian stood on the big stone by the pool and threw the golden axe into the pool. Only heard "empty dragon. With the sound of "empty dragons", two dragons rolled at the bottom of the pool, and the waves rose several feet. Suddenly, two dragons were covered in blood and stretched out into the sky. The water girl quickly threw the gold scissors into the pool. Just listen to "click, click" and the faucet sinks into the pool. After a while, the pool was calm, and a pair of dragons lay upright at the bottom of the pool, their necks covered with blood, which dyed the water red.

The sun and the moon rolled out of Longkou, floating and sinking in the pool, so bright! Dajian, Shuishe and the old woman stood on the big stone by the pool and clapped their hands and laughed. Brother Dajian looked at the sun and moon floating on the water and said, "The dragon was killed, but it was useless for the sun and moon to sink in the pool. How to hang them in the sky? " The old woman thought for a moment and said, "I heard from my predecessors that people who eat longan meat will become tall and big." Take it and eat it. Throw the sun and the moon into the sky. "The elder brother of the big tip picked the two eyes of the male dragon and swallowed it in one gulp. Sister Shuihui took off the mother dragon's eyes and swallowed them in one gulp. Suddenly, they became tall and big people, standing in two deep pools like mountains. They picked up the sun and threw it into the sky. The sun floated in mid-air for a while, and then fell in the pool. I threw it three times and dropped it three times. The old woman stood by the pool and shouted, "son, there are two tall palm trees by the pool." Let's pull them out and hold the sun to heaven! ""The couple reached for the pool and each pulled out a palm tree dozens of feet high. The couple raised the sun and threw it into the sky. They quickly lifted it with palm trees and ran forward. In this way, for three days in a row, the sun soared into the sky.

The sun is red and walks in the sky as before. All the flowers and trees on the ground are alive, and people laugh. They raised the moon again and threw it into the sky. They still held it up with palm trees and washed it all day. When the sun sets, the moon rises into the sky.

At night, the moon is bright and still walking in the sky. People on the ground clap their hands, sing and dance in the moonlight. Dajian and Shuishe climbed to the edge of the big pool to guard the dragons and prevent them from coming back to life. Watching the sun and the moon makes people live a peaceful and peaceful life.

Day after day, month after month, year after year. Later, people called this pool Sun Moon Lake, and the mountains on both sides of Sun Moon Lake were called Dajian Mountain and Shuishe Mountain. The children miss Brother Dajian and Sister Shuishe who are endangering the people very much. In order to commemorate them, every autumn, people will put on beautiful clothes, pick up bamboo poles and colored balls and come to Sun Moon Lake. They learn the way of the girls in the water club, throw the ball into the sky, and then hit it with a bamboo pole to prevent it from landing. Later, this kind of play was called "holding the ball dance".

There is another legend in Sun Moon Lake: In ancient times, Sun Moon Lake was a dry land without water. At that time, the sun and the moon were sisters and lived in the Sun and Moon Palace in the sky. The gods let them walk in the sky for one day, respectively, to illuminate the earth with their light and benefit mankind. The sun is my sister. It grows very big. It shines brighter on the ground, and I can see the scenery of the world clearly. Even the colors of flowers and trees can be clearly seen, and I am very happy every day; The moon is my sister. It is very small and seldom shines on the ground. Seeing the scenery on the earth is so vague that you can't even see the colors of flowers and trees. Very depressed. Therefore, the moon often sneaks out for a walk in the sky behind the sun, and enjoys the scenery of the world through the light of the sun. It is also very happy.

One day, the moon secretly followed the sun in the sky and was discovered by the gods. The gods blamed them for disobeying heaven. In a rage, they lifted a mountain and smashed it at sunrise and sunset. The mountain fell to the ground, holding the sun and the moon under the mountain. How can people live without the light of the sun and the moon?

The Legend of Sun Moon Lake (2)

In a small house in the north of Taiwan Province Island, there lived a very loving young couple, the man named Mercury and the woman named Shirley. They found that there was no sun and moon, and they were very anxious. They watched the village freeze to death and starved so many people, and they were determined to find the sun and the moon. But they also have an old mother who is ill in bed at home. In order to find the sun and the moon, Mercury decided to dig them out with a fire shovel, leaving Xie Lan to take care of his old mother at home.

After Mercury left, Xie Lan took care of her mother at home and gave her everything she could eat at home. But later, the old mother couldn't stand the cold any longer and died. After burying his old mother sadly, Xie Lan and her husband rushed to the foot of the mountain to dig the sun and the moon. However, when she came to the mountain and saw it, a big mud pit was dug on the top of the mountain, and the mercury was exhausted in the big mud pit. Xie Lan was heartbroken. She jumped into the big mud pit, held Mercury's body tightly in her arms and burst into tears, tears dripping like broken beads in the big mud pit. I don't know how long I cried, but gradually the pit was filled with her tears, forming a blue pool of water. She can't cry anymore. She hugged Mercury's body tightly and lay quietly. The pool water slowly seeps into the rocks and soil in the mountainside, and some of them are soft. The sun and the moon are suffocating at the foot of the mountain. They give them a hard supply, soft rocks and loose soil. The power of the sun is enormous. It first emerged from the northeast of Mercury and Duran, rose into the air, and left a round hole in the pool. The moon was very weak. When the sun was moving from east to west in the sky and it was getting dark, it finally emerged from the southwest of Mercury and Xie Lan and rose into the air, leaving a bud-like hole in the pool for a month. Since then, the sun and the moon have never dared to walk together in the sky. The world has regained its former vitality, and people have lived a well-fed life.

In memory of Mercury and Sheran, people called this bay lake Shuishe Lake. They turned this island into Shuishe Island, and the village near this mountain was called Shuishe Village. The pool on this mountain slowly seeps into two holes with different shapes left by the sun and the moon, forming two pools with different shapes, which is Sun Moon Lake.
