Folk customs and legends of Tanabata in southern Fujian

In southern Fujian, the legendary "seven fairies" are not fairies, but seven godmothers, commonly known as "seven godmothers", and it is said that the seventh day of July is the birthday of the "seven fairies", so the people call this day "the birth of the seven godmothers". This may be the evolution of the folk spread of Tanabata in southern Fujian with a strong religious atmosphere.

Since ancient times, in the minds of working women in southern Fujian, "Qi" is the embodiment of beauty, kindness, love and auspiciousness, and she can protect the healthy growth of children. Therefore, there is a folk custom of "worshiping the sun" on Tanabata. According to the Records of Quanzhou Prefecture, the spring customs of Tanabata are "begging for cleverness", "aging melons and fruits" and "worshipping the grandchildren". According to this custom, in the first year after a child is born, the first Chinese Valentine's Day will be called the "New Testament", which means to worship Qi as the adoptive mother (called "Qi Mu" in Minnan dialect). Sixteen-year-old, the "Chinese Valentine's Day" in those days was "washing the contract", which meant to baptize him when he grew up and got rid of "Qi". With the development of the times, this folk custom has been abandoned by many urban families, but its remains can still be seen in rural areas.

According to the traditional custom, the worship of "Seven Mothers" on Tanabata in southern Fujian has a strong folk color, and because people think that "Seven Mothers" is seven, they are all related to "Seven". Mainly include: Qiniang Sedan (seven rides), Qiniang Pavilion (with seven immortals), and other fruits and vegetables, sweets (cooked sweet dumplings), wine bottles, chopsticks and so on. There are usually seven. In addition, there are special flowers for women, cooked flowers, rouge, pollen, scissors, red hair rope and so on. "Qiniang Sedan" and "Qiniang Pavilion" retain the exquisiteness of folk paper binding art, especially "Qiniang Pavilion", and the more exquisite pavilion is decorated with painted "Qiniang" clay dolls, which is really elegant. It is said that the spread of Qiniang Pavilion originated in the Song Dynasty. "Tokyo Dream of China" records: "Tanabata is built with brocade and green, decorated with flowers and fruits ... there are seats to worship cows and girls." Qiniang Pavilion may have originated here.

About the legend of Tanabata, Minnan has its wonderful story. Legend has it that the Emperor of Heaven was furious at the seven fairies' marriage to Yong Dong. He separated the loving couple with the Milky Way as the boundary, then allowed them to meet once every seven days, and ordered the magpie to pass this order on to them. I didn't expect the magpie to mistakenly report the seven-day meeting to the meeting on July 7 every year. Up to now, there is still a saying in southern Fujian that "a bird (magpie) gives good news". Although the magpie reported the wrong happy event, the news was misinformed, but it was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven, and the mistake must be corrected and cannot be changed. Therefore, magpies are punished every year on Tanabata to bridge the gap between the cowherd and the weaver girl. It is said that you can't see magpies on the seventh day of July, because they are all bridges; After crossing Chinese Valentine's Day, the magpie went bald, because the cowherd and the cow's hoof were trampled when crossing the magpie bridge. It is also said that it will rain on the seventh day of July. Even on sunny days, it occasionally rains in Mao Mao, which is the tears shed by the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Minnan people say it's "seven mothers crying".

Philosophical stories of folk proverbs in southern Fujian

As a living fossil of China's mother tongue in ancient Central Plains, Minnan dialect has been proved by many senior linguists. Its vivid vocabulary contains rich philosophy, so its wide spread in this area is even more surprising. Now I will talk in detail about some Minnan folk proverbs collected on weekdays, and I believe everyone will like them after listening to them. First of all, we want to say a proverb, called a bad horse has a kick. This proverb comes from an ancient war. It is said that after a war, the Zhangzhou government pulled a batch of injured war horses to the market outside the south gate for auction when cleaning up the battlefield. Many people see that the price of injured horses is low, so they buy and kill them to eat horse meat.

One day, a suburban farmer went to the market to sell vegetables. He heard that the injured horse was cheap, so he bought one and took it home. As it was already dark when he got home, he tied his horse in a pigsty and prepared to kill it early tomorrow morning.

In the middle of the night, a thief went to the village to steal. He heard a big pig howling in the farmer's pigsty. When he came near, he saw that it was a big fat pig. He happily pried open the door of the pigsty. When he first entered the pigsty, he touched the injured horse's tail. A horse is most afraid of being pulled by its tail. As soon as he felt his tail was caught, he kicked his leg and hit the thief in the lower part of the body. The thief barked with pain. Hearing this, the farmer's family immediately rushed to the pigsty. When the thief saw someone coming, he begged: Let me go, I will never steal again! "

The next day, the story spread, and everyone in the village said, "Don't look at this bad horse." The farmer didn't want to kill the horse, so he fed it carefully. As a result, the injured horse became a strong horse.

This story shows that everyone's ability is big or small, so as long as he has a little advantage, don't underestimate or underestimate him.

This is a folk proverb, a bad horse has a step to kick. Next, I want to share with you another Minnan proverb, which is called "You can't build a chicken" or "You can't hatch a chicken if you gamble". Listener friends, "You can't hatch chickens if you cover them", saying that it is impossible to cover a hen and force it to hatch eggs when it is not squatting, just like the meaning of "tying a couple" and "pressing the cow's head to drink water" in Mandarin. It warns people that everything should respect objective laws and cannot be forced.

Listener friends, it is the instinct of hens to crouch in the nest and hatch eggs. After laying a nest of eggs, the hen began to hatch. At this time, even if there are no eggs in the nest, it will squat in the nest. This is the "squatting nest", and some are also called "laiwo". The hen in the nest woke up and was confused. It is said that it is awake because it feels that there are its children in the nest and can't leave the nest, otherwise it will die. During this period, it eats less and drinks less, but it doesn't forget to excrete feces outside the nest. It will also turn its nest from time to time and cover all the eggs with its body to the maximum extent. It is confused because it doesn't care if there are eggs in the nest. Even if there are duck eggs, goose eggs or other bird eggs or even stones in the nest, it still hatches carefully. In this case, some farmers often use all kinds of cruel means to torture the hen in the nest in order to wake up early and lay eggs early, or soak it in water, or tie its wings or feet, and so on. , but all to no avail, finally still can't make it back to normal.

The original intention of "building a chicken before it is hatched" is not to do anything that goes against the laws of nature. Now it has been extended to put two completely different people or things together, and as a result, they can't live in harmony, and even often make things messy. For example, because of different personalities or conflicts of interest, brothers and sisters proposed to separate families, but parents refused to do so in order to maintain the "unity" of the family. As a result, it backfired, disputes continued and the consequences were serious.

Well, after the Minnan proverb "You can't hatch a chicken", let's continue to say a Quanzhou proverb called "a bookcase, a head bucket".

Listener friends, "a bookcase, a bucket" is a unique proverb in Quanzhou. The book cage is a bamboo cage for holding books; The head bucket is used to hold the head. This proverb comes from the story of a scholar in ancient Jinjiang.

According to legend, in the 18th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1385), a boy named Wu Fu was born in a farmhouse in Cizao Village. Five Blessingg was gifted and lively since childhood. At the age of six, he can recite the three-character classic and learn the Analects of Confucius at the age of seven, so he is called a "little prodigy". At the age of eighteen, he became a quota student in a county school and enjoyed free treatment.

Xuanzong Xuande Five Shen Nian (1428), Quanzhou magistrate found that some forestry students in official schools were admitted under false pretenses, so he indiscriminately announced that all forestry students would be removed from the imperial examination. Most of the students who were expelled at that time felt wronged, but they were very angry, afraid to say anything, and sulked at home. Only Wu Fu said without fear of death: "Now, I have been greatly wronged. Although it is difficult for people to sue officials, no one has died since ancient times. How can I live in a world humiliated by power? I want to appeal and avenge my shame. " In this way, Wu Fu wrote a well-founded complaint and immediately appealed to the Quanzhou magistrate, but was turned away and refused to accept it. He went to Fuzhou, the provincial capital, to appeal, but it was still useless. After Wu Fu returned to China, he was determined to overcome all difficulties and went to Beijing to sue the court until his grievances were cleared.

When Wu Fubai's parents walked into Beijing, they walked from village to village with bookcases and buckets on their backs. After going through hardships from county to county, they finally arrived in Beijing smoothly, found a small inn to stay and prepared to complain to the court.

Emperor Xuande of the dynasty was a wise monarch who had received and accepted the victims who came to Beijing to complain many times. Beowulf finally found an opportunity to complain to the emperor personally and begged the emperor to let the people who were removed from the list take the screening exam again. He also said: "If Wang Kao fails, he would rather die and put his head in a bucket brought from home without regret." After hearing this, the emperor was deeply sympathetic and moved, so he immediately wrote a letter to imperial academy to give a question, and immediately informed all the dismissed people in Quanzhou to come to Kyoto to take the screening test under Tianmen.

The news spread like wildfire, and the students who were removed from Quanzhou were very surprised and happy, and actively prepared for the exam. After several screening tests, Five Blessingg ranked first in the public list, and other people with real talents and practical knowledge were on the list. Those impostors who spend a lot of money on exams are all ugly. Afterwards, whenever people talk about it, they admire Wu Fu's talent and courage.

Soon, Wu Fu was selected by the imperial court to serve as the county academic supervisor in Lishui County, Yingtianfu, Jiangsu Province. Later, due to outstanding achievements, he was promoted to Lishui County. When Wu Fu recalled the past, he said with deep feelings, "If I hadn't risked my life to fight, how could I be today?" Since then, the saying "one bookcase, one head bucket", together with this true story, has spread among Quanzhou people.

The Story of Broken Pot —— The Story of Southern Fujian

In a certain year of the Republic of China, just after the wheat harvest, there was a Zuo Tian brother named Shi in Longhu, Jinjiang. He heard that a batch of 11 barrels of large water tanks arrived at the ship dock in Jiapai Village, Haikou, and it happened that there was not enough food in them, so he hurried to buy them.

Speaking of this brother Zuo Tian named Shi, everyone knows that he is gentle, idle and often has a smile on his face. On this day, he bought two big water tanks, carried them with a pole, shook them and went home. When you come to the field path, you can see a path trodden by passers-by and cross a clearing, which can save a long way. He thought the road was built by people. Even if others passed by, I would take a shortcut and take the water tank across the field. I didn't expect a person to hide here at this time. This is a brother of Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong. His temperament is off the charts, everyone is afraid of him, let him. On this day, he has been waiting in the field for a long time. As soon as he saw Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Shi, walking to the middle of the field with a big water tank, he ran to catch up with him. He had nothing to say, so he raised his hoe and smashed a vat called Shi to pieces with a bang.

Brother Zuo Tiange, surnamed Hong, why did you break the big water tank? It turns out that this Akita was cultivated by him. On this day, he came to the field with a plow and a rake and saw Tanaka being trampled out of the road. He is already furious. He didn't expect to plow twice, and the field was crushed and a new plow was broken. Can't stand the anger, he will carry a hoe and smash the big water tank in the field.

Besides, Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Shi, heard a bang and the vat in front of him fell to the ground. He was startled and turned his head quickly. When he saw Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Hong, staring at him with a hoe, he knew why. So he smiled and asked, "Dude, why did you break my cylinder without saying a word?" Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, snorted and shouted gruffly, "I ask you, is this a field or a road?" Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, smiled and said, "I stepped on the wrong field." Brother, please lend me your hoe. " Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, thought in the fire and asked you to hit him with a hoe. I'm not afraid of you, so he threw the hoe and said, "lend it to me and see what you dare to do to me." Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, picked up a hoe, not to flood, but to smash another jar with a bang. Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, was surprised and said, "What are you doing?" Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, turned around and said with a smile, "Dude, it's my fault that you are in such a hurry, but I didn't step on Tanaka's road alone." Now you broke my jar without saying anything. How can I get home with one left? " It's better to break them together, and please pick out those broken tanks. "Yes, I took the hoe to brother Tian, surnamed Hong, picked up the pole rope and went home.

Although this incident made Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Hong, laugh a little later, it gradually faded away over time.

Coincidentally, one day, it was long hu cun's annual "Buddha's Birthday". Brother Zuo Tiange, surnamed Hong, was also invited to drink by friends. It's really "a long way to go, but it's Xiu Yuan". As soon as he stepped into the village head, he met Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, across the street and went to the village head to meet people. It turns out that this is the hometown of Shi. Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, smiled and ran to hold him when he saw Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, and shouted, "Oh, brother teacher, I didn't expect you to come. It is a coincidence that I received you. Come to my house for a drink today anyway. " "As the saying goes, a strong dragon will not crush a local strongman. At this time Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Hong, had to follow. As soon as he entered the room, Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, shouted to his relatives and friends in the hall, "My good friend is here". On the one hand, he invited Mr. Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, and asked his family to offer cigarettes, tea and wine, and set a table full. Then he smiled and said, "Dude, suit yourself. I have something to do quickly. Please excuse me." Say that finish, he walked out of the door, locked the door, click a lock.

Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong here, secretly complained when he heard the pounding of hooves outside, but he was straightforward. He thought that the last time he went out, he was trapped by a trap today. Whether he is dead or alive, eat first, and then drink alone in the room. Near noon, Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, came in from the outside and said with a smile, Brother, I'm sorry to lock you in the room. Tian Xiong, surnamed Hong, neither laughed nor cried at this moment, so he had to say nothing. Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, added, "Dude, I really want to invite you, so I'll lock you in my room for fear that you will run away." Then pull Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Hong, to the wine table in the hall. When relatives and friends saw Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, pulling the guests so affectionately, they all stood up to meet them. However, those relatives and friends who know that the guests are locked in the room are puzzled. Someone asked, "Who is this old friend?" Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Hong, couldn't answer this question. Brother Zuo Tian, surnamed Shi, hurriedly said with a smile; "Let me introduce, this is a friend I met on the road. I'm loyal and honest, but I have no patience ... "Then I'll give you a brief account of what happened before. Everyone who heard it laughed. However, Zuo Tianxiong, surnamed Shi, did not laugh at the moment and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the truth that this eldest brother taught me to be a man. Imagine that we are all farmers, just to get close to the road and trample on other people's fields. This is against nature, isn't it? " So, I recognized this man as a good friend!

The Legend of Well's Public Life

A corner of Honglai Town East Street is called Middle Earth Furnace, and there is a well called "Xie Yuan". The spring water in this well is pure and sweet. Even if it doesn't rain for a long time, it still drips endlessly. When there was no running water in this ancient town, hundreds of people around depended on this well for water and food. Whenever people come back from work or work, especially in hot summer, they will feel extremely sweet and tired as long as they pump water from this well, whether drinking or taking a bath. This well still exists today. Although it has a long history, the water in this well is still pure and not turbid, inexhaustible.

However, when it comes to the history of this well, there is such a touching story.

According to legend, during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a family named Wu in Zhongtu Furnace. The two brothers were as close as brothers and knew each other very well. Big brother is honest and diligent, and gets married early. My brother Wu Hongmo is a coward. With this eldest brother in charge, my younger brother "turned a deaf ear to things outside the window and read only sage books" and devoted himself to studying hard at the cold window. Ignore the rest, and sometimes even the eldest sister-in-law urges her to help him do some housework within her power, so she has a long history of resentment and resentment. Since then, I have paid little attention to his eclipse. Therefore, Wu Hongmo had to live a half-starved life every day and continue to study hard.

Besides, time flies, and the sun and the moon fly. After studying hard for several years, I finally hope to have a try in the provincial capital. On this day, Wu Hongmo packed his things and prepared to go to the provincial capital to take the exam the next morning. When her sister-in-law learned about her situation, in order to repay this complaint on weekdays, she stored the food in her room that night, drained the water in the water tank, and even hid the bucket for drawing water.

The next day, Wu Hongmo got up and was about to cook some porridge for breakfast, but he couldn't find anything to eat. In desperation, he just wanted to burn some boiling water to satisfy his hunger, but he saw that there was no drop of water in the water tank, and he wanted to fetch water outside the house, and he didn't see the bucket used to fetch water on weekdays. He knew it was his sister-in-law's bitter revenge. In desperation, he sighed and walked out of the house, only to see water everywhere, only to remember that it rained heavily last night. I thought that since it rained heavily, the well water would definitely rise, so I went home and got a ladle to scoop water into the well. When he stood up near the well, he looked and found that the water depth was the same. At this time, the heartbroken Wu Hongmo suddenly fell to his knees and prayed to the well, saying, "Jing Gong, Jing Gong! If you pity me, a helpless poor scholar, raise the well water and let me drink some well water to satisfy my hunger. After that, if you can dono. 1, I will thank you for your kindness when I go back to my hometown! Strange to say, just after Wu Hongmo prayed, he saw the well water slowly rising until it was flat. Wu Hongmo was very happy. Hurriedly hit a ladle of cold water with a water ladle and drank it, then packed up and hurried on the road.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off. On this day, the meteor trotted to the red, and Wu Hongmo won the first place in the provincial examination and won the championship in high school. I will go home to visit my relatives in a few days. When all the people and neighbors heard the news, they were very happy and looked forward to his return day and night. Until the day of returning home, I saw Wu Hongmo sitting in a big sedan chair, singing gongs to clear the way, and the scenery returned to his hometown infinitely. Sister-in-law felt remorse and shame when she heard about it, so she had to hide in her parents' house. However, at this time, the Wu clan had already gathered at the gate of the ancestral hall to wait. When they saw Wu Hongmo get off the sedan chair, his wussy eldest brother led the clan to meet them. At this time, I suddenly heard a clansman suggest that Wu Hongmo's high school is the spirit of his ancestors in heaven, so he should worship his ancestors first and thank them for their kindness. Wu Hongmo stopped immediately after hearing it. Xie said: "I think we should thank the water mirror for the kindness of carrying water that day, and then worship our ancestors." As he spoke, he told all his relatives about the morning when he took the exam. Everyone was surprised after listening to it! He listened to Wu Jieyuan's suggestion and designated the third day of the tenth lunar month (that is, the day when the water rises) as Gong's birthday. On this day, the Wu clan association held a big banquet and played a rewarding role, which was very lively. To commemorate this meaningful legend, this well is called "Xieyuan Well".

Later, after consulting the folk history of China, I found that this is the only person in the world who can celebrate the birthday of the palace!
