Allusions and legends of chickens

King Chicken is a competitive guy, always making trouble and fighting (this virtue has been preserved to this day). When the jade emperor sealed the zodiac, he considered whether animals contributed to human beings, and of course he could not rank the king of chickens.

One day, King Chicken was very envious when he saw that the horse that was sealed with the zodiac was loved by people. So he stepped forward and asked, "Brother Ma, what is your honor today?"

The horse replied: "I usually plow and transport things, and I have made contributions to mankind in wartime." Of course, I should be loved. " King Chicken: "If only I could be named as the Zodiac and be respected."

It is not difficult to get people's love, as long as you can give full play to your strengths and do something for people. Take the animals that seal the zodiac as an example. Cattle can plow the fields, dogs can watch the door, pigs can feed people, and dragons can rain.

You are born with a golden voice, which may be helpful to mankind. "Chicken king returned home, focused, and finally thought of waking up the sleeping people with his golden voice.

So every day at dawn, Prince Chicken gets up early and sings loudly to wake people up from their sleep. People were very grateful for the contribution of the chicken king and decided to ask the jade emperor to make the chicken into a god as a gift.

However, the standard for the Jade Emperor to seal the zodiac in those days was that as long as the animals were not birds, horses, cows, sheep and dogs among the six animals were involved, except chickens. This time, the chicken king was anxious. He blushed with anger and urgency and shouted at his neck, but there was no result.

One night, the chicken king couldn't sleep because of this. A wisp of ghosts went straight to the Heavenly Palace and cried to the Jade Emperor. Every morning, he made great contributions to awakening all beings, and wrote letters to be selected as animal symbols. This is really hard to understand.

Say that finish, tears flow down. The Jade Emperor thought that the contribution of the Chicken King was really great, and the criteria for choosing the zodiac were really wrong, so he picked a flower in front of the temple and put it on the head of the Chicken King as a reward.

When King Chicken woke up, he found a red flower on his head. So he wore red flowers to see the four kings. The four kings recognized that this was the jade emperor's "royal furnace red flower" and knew that the jade emperor valued the chicken king, so they made an exception and let the chicken king participate in the zodiac competition.

On the day of fighting for the zodiac, the chicken and the dog got up at the same time and went hand in hand. As we approached the Heavenly Palace, the chicken was afraid that the dog would take the lead and ran to the front with the flying belt. The dog was eager to catch up, but never caught up, and finally fell behind the chicken.

Since then, dogs have no affection for chickens, and they chase them when they see them. To this day, I am still angry, and I can still see the phenomenon that "dogs drive chickens away". The chicken is still blushing and wears a beautiful red flower on her head every morning.

2. Smell the chicken dancing

Zu Ti in Jin Dynasty was an open-minded and ambitious person. But he was a naughty boy when he was a child and didn't like reading. When he entered his youth, he realized his lack of knowledge and felt that he could not serve his country without studying, so he began to study hard.

He read widely and studied history carefully, from which he learned a wealth of knowledge and made great progress. He has been in and out of Luoyang, Kyoto for many times, and people who have contacted him say that Zu Ti is a talented person who can assist the emperor in governing the country.

When Zu Ti was 24 years old, he was recommended to be an official, but he didn't agree. He still studies tirelessly. Later, Zu Ti and his childhood friend Liu Kunyi became the main book of Sizhou.

He and Liu Kun have deep feelings. They not only share the same bed, but also share the same lofty ideal: to make contributions, revitalize the state of Jin and become a pillar of the country.

Once, in the middle of the night, Zu Ti heard the cock crow in his sleep. He kicked Liu Kun awake and said to him, "Everyone else thinks it's unlucky to hear a rooster crow in the middle of the night. I don't think so. How about we get up and practice swords when we hear chickens crow in the future? " Liu Kun readily agreed.

So every day after the rooster crows, he gets up to practice his sword, and the light of the sword flies and the sound of the sword is sonorous. Spring goes to winter, cold goes to summer, and it never stops. Everything comes to him who waits. After long-term hard study and training, they finally become versatile.

You can not only write a good article, but also lead troops to win the battle. Zu Ti was named General Zhenxi, realizing his desire to serve the country. Liu Kun, a corps commander in the north, was in charge of the military affairs of Bing, Hebei and Youzhou, and also gave full play to his literary talent and military talents.

3. The legendary story of Baijiling

Baijiling is a famous mountain in Xinyi City, with an altitude of1548m. It is located at the junction of Baishi Town and Qianpai Town in xinyi city, and it is the boundary mountain between Baishi River and Qianpai River. There are places named after Baekje, such as Baekje Village, Baekje Village and Baekje Street.

One year, the Jade Emperor sent Taibai Venus to the world to see the harvest of grains, and found that the world was dark without the sun, the grains were not born, animals killed the people, and the people could not live.

He was about to call the ministers in the heavenly palace to discuss ways. Suddenly, Ao Guang, the dragon king of the East China Sea, was sweating like a pig, panting and running into Lingxiao's hall. He knelt down and shouted, "Jade Emperor, help!"

The Jade Emperor found out the reason. It turns out that the sun is hidden under the sea and can't get out. It didn't take long for the sea water to get hot, which made the West Sea Dragon King, fish, turtles and sea monsters unbearable. They are all jumping around wildly, and the originally calm sea is constantly setting off stormy waves.

The Dragon King of the West Sea led the shrimps, soldiers and crabs to drive away the sun, and it was cooked by the sun before the leader approached. The Dragon King of the West Sea couldn't beat him, so he had to tell his boss, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, to the Heavenly Palace.

Seeing that the matter was urgent and abnormal, the Jade Emperor immediately decided to send Taibai Venus to finish it. Give it to a pair of god chickens lying on the Yaochi in Tiangong, and take them to the ridge of the Yangtze River by two immortals. The male crow gets up in the morning to urge the sun to go out to sea.

When it gets dark, the female calls the sun back to her nest. Venus Taibai and Emperor Yan bowed to the Jade Emperor, went to earth and put the chicken on the ridge of the Yangtze River. Then, take a six-trailer to the East China Sea to urge the sun to go out to sea and get up to work.

This pair of magical chicks, with white feathers, bright red comb, golden mouth and claws, green wings and tail, are very beautiful. There are spiritual bugs in the crown of God Chicken.

Then he will jump around in the cock's comb. When the rooster is fondled, he can't sleep any more. He will sing one song after another. The sun heard all the cocks in the world singing with them, which made them unable to sleep late and had to get up.

As soon as the sun came out, the night receded and the world regained its light. Later, the couple became the highest mountain on the ridge of the Yangtze River, called Baijiling.

4, stupefied

From Zhuangzi's Zhuangzi Sheng Da in the Warring States Period. Because Zhou Xuanwang likes cockfighting, a man named Ji Haozi specially trained cockfighting for Zhou Xuanwang. 10 days later, Zhou Xuanwang asked Ji Xiezi if he had practiced well, but Ji Xiezi replied no.

This chicken looks aggressive on the surface, but in fact it has no confidence. 10 days later, Zhou Xuanwang asked it again, but JiAiko said it was not enough, because it immediately became nervous at the sight of other chickens, indicating that it was still aggressive.

After another 10 day, Zhou Xuanwang couldn't bear to ask again, but it was still useless, because Ji Xiezi thought the chicken was still bright and imposing. After another 10 day, Ji Xunzi finally said that it was almost enough.

It's a little dull and quiet, and it looks like a wooden chicken, indicating that it has entered a perfect spiritual realm. King Xuan put the chicken in the chicken farm. As soon as the other chickens saw this "stupefied" cockfighting, they turned around and ran away.

"stupefied" is not really dull, just watching, in fact, it is very effective. It seems that the wooden cockfighting doesn't need to attack at all, so that other cockfighting can run away. It can be seen that the highest state of cockfighting is "stupefied".

5. Zhuji Chen Si

Shang Zhouwang attacked Su Guo and got the beauty "da ji". Da ji saw that the ants climbed the copper brazier and were burned to death. He told Shang Zhouwang that Zhou Wang ordered people to make two copper columns, tied the prisoners to the copper columns and burned them with fire. This is called "branding".

Zhou Wuwang and Ji Fa said with emotion that once an old hen crows, her family will decline. In Shang Dynasty, the tyrant Zhou Wang only knew how to eat, drink and be merry every day, and lived a luxurious, dissolute and shameless life. Zhou Wang ignored the words of the loyal subjects.

Only listen to his beloved princess da Ji. Bi Gan, a loyal minister of Shang Dynasty, was killed by Zhou Wang for giving advice to Zhou Wang. He was also cut open his chest and dug his heart, saying that he wanted to see what his brain was longer than Bi Gan. Zhou Wang's behavior aroused strong opposition from ministers and people.

BC 1046, Zhou Wuwang led an army to crusade against Zhou Wang, and Zhou Wuwang's army went to war with Zhou Wang's army at Muye, 70 miles away from Chao Ge. Zhou Wuwang swore in Mu Ye: In the past, it was said that hens could not crow in the morning. If she crowed instead of the rooster, her family would be exhausted.

When a woman seizes her husband's power, the country will perish. Zhou Wang blindly listened to da ji's slanderous remarks and operated at random, which was the root of Zhou Wang's national subjugation. Zhou Wang received the news of King Wu's rebellion.

He organized 700,000 Dongyi prisoners to meet the enemy, but these prisoners had long hated him and turned against him. Zhou Wang cornered himself, so he had to flee back to Chao Ge and set himself on fire.
