Legend of the Yellow River

Legend has it that a long time ago, the ancient Yellow River was a wild horse that was difficult to tame. It runs as it pleases, like a grinning monster, roaring day and night, devouring fertile land. Bite Chung Shan Man, the Hui people on both sides of the Yellow River can only live a slash-and-burn life at the top of the mountain and at the bottom of the ditch.

At that time, Ningxia was not a plain bordered by Ma Pingchuan, but green mountains and valleys. There is no flat field, and no field can be irrigated with Yellow River water.

Legend has it that there are several families living in Niushou Mountain who return to the Han family. They carry water at the foot of the mountain and farm at the top of the mountain for generations. All ages are busy, but they don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes. For a long time, no one could stand this torture.

One year, a 70-year-old Hui Hui man named Del opened a melon garden on the mountain and planted some cucumbers. He gets up early every day and goes to the Yellow River to fetch water and water cucumbers. His shoulders are swollen and his feet are skinned. He carefully cultivated cucumbers, and the yellow ones looked tender and sweet.

On this day, the old man was tired and fell asleep at the gate of the vegetable garden.

As soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed that there was a white cloud floating in the sky. Gradually, Baiyun became an imam with a white beard, shook his silver beard and said to the old man, "There are two strong winds today, so you should pay attention. There is a yellow wind at noon, which can make cucumbers wither; There is a black wind in the afternoon, which can make cucumber stems fall off. No matter how windy it is, don't pick cucumbers.

When the old man woke up, he saw that the white-bearded imam had disappeared, but he saw that the yellow wind in the north was overwhelming and suddenly blew to Niushou Mountain. The old man looked at the cucumbers carefully, and sure enough, they faded one by one. He was very sad. A year's efforts were in vain, but the thought of the white-bearded imam stopped him.

In the afternoon, a black wind blew, shaking the mountains and dropping leaves layer by layer. When the old man saw that the cucumber was about to fall to the ground, he was very angry. He picked a cucumber and threw it into the Yellow River. The Yellow River immediately broke a line. As if he had been cut by a fairy with a knife, he clearly saw the bottom of the river. When the old man Gerd swooped down, the river suddenly joined again. The old man was tired and hungry, sitting on the river bank, blinking, and the golden flower danced wildly, knowing nothing.

At this time, the old man in Del heard the white-bearded imam say, "This cucumber is the key to conquering the Yellow River. You can cut off the Yellow River and make it listen to people. But now the Yellow River is called Yellow Wind and Black Wind, and these two Iberians are suffering. Don't be impatient, be patient and work harder. Next year, you plant another cucumber garden. When the cucumber is ripe, you pick the biggest one and throw it into the Yellow River. At that time, you walked into the cave at the bottom of the river, took off the gems, took away the seeds of the grain, and had a sword to cut the dragon and the devil and tame the Yellow River. Wherever it is referred to, the Yellow River water will flow. "

The next year, the hardworking old man Gerd planted another cucumber garden. He is not afraid of the long journey, and he does not hesitate to sweat like rain, carrying water from the Yellow River to water melons. Everything comes to him who waits. Finally, a three-foot cucumber grows in the garden, which looks like a key. The old man happily slept in the melon garden for a day and a night until the melon was ripe.

On this day, the weather was fine, without a cloud. Old man Wilder picked a three-foot cucumber, read "Taismi" and threw it into the Yellow River. At this time, I only heard the roar of the Yellow River, and I opened a long crack. All the stones at the bottom of the river are clearly visible. When the old man went down to the bottom of the river, he saw a hole near the river bank, where pearls and agates were everywhere. The old man took some and just left, he heard the storm whistling. At that time, the waves on the river rolled and the waves became higher and higher. The old man Gerd picked up his sword and cut dozens of swords on the left and right sides of the black whirlwind and the yellow whirlwind. After a while, black wind and yellow wind blew in the sky.

At this time, the faults of the Yellow River gradually tightened. Del's old man remembered the command of the white-bearded imam, and this sword could conquer the Yellow River. He knew very well, and he thought, I want the Yellow River to fill ditches and level mountains. Holding two swords, the old man plunged into the Yellow River, and the water in the Yellow River stopped flowing at once, as if a Great Wall had been blocked in front, but it was still rising steadily, which was really scary from a distance.

Three days later, from Liupanshan in the south to Helan Mountain in the west, there was water everywhere, leaving only a few mountain tips. Only then, the old man, Gerd, drew his sword and told the Yellow River to flow forward.

Since then, Ningxia, a deep mountain valley, has become Ma Pingchuan, and the Hui people living on both sides of the Yellow River have dug ditches for farmland with hard-working hands and lived a happy life.

The Legend of the Yellow River 2009/03/014: 46 Carp yue longmen.

Long, long ago, before the Longmen was cut, Yishui was blocked by Longmen Mountain, and a big lake was piled up to the south of the mountain.

Carps living in the Yellow River have heard that Longmen is beautiful and all want to go sightseeing. They started from the South Mengjin Yellow River, crossed the Luohe River and followed the Yi River to the splash gate of Longmen, but there was no waterway on Longmen Mountain, so they had to gather at the foot of Longmen North Mountain. "I have an idea. How about we skip this Longmen Mountain? " A red carp said to everyone. "How can you jump so high?" "If you don't jump well, you will fall to your death!" The partners are confused and can't make up their minds. Red carp volunteered and said, "I'll try it first." I saw it exhausted all its strength from half a mile away, like an arrow that left the string, jumping into the clouds for a long time, driving the clouds and rain in the air forward. A mass of skyfire came from behind and burned its tail. It endured the pain, continued to leap forward, and finally crossed Longmen Mountain and fell into the lake in the south of Shannan. In a blink of an eye, it became a dragon. Seeing this, the carp in the north of the mountain are scared to shrink together and dare not take any more risks. Just then, I suddenly saw a dragon descending from the sky and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm your partner Red Carp, because I jumped over the Longmen and became a dragon." You have to jump bravely! " "Hearing these words, the carp was encouraged and began to jump off the Longmen Mountain one by one. But except for a few who jumped into dragons, most of them couldn't get through. Anyone who can't jump over and fall from the air will have a black scar on his forehead. To this day, this black scar still grows on the forehead of the Yellow River carp.

Later, Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem specifically for this matter: "The Yellow River three-foot carp originally lived in Jin Meng, but it didn't last long, and all the fish returned."

Kuafu chasing the sun

In ancient times, in the Great Northern Wilderness, there was a towering mountain. Deep in the mountains, there lived a group of giants with infinite power.

The leader is the grandson of Houdi, the keeper of hades and the son of Xin. Therefore, this group of people is called Kuafu. They are strong, tall and burly, with strong willpower and extraordinary spirit. And kind-hearted, hardworking and brave, living a peaceful and free life.

At that time, the land was desolate, poisonous snakes and beasts were rampant, and people's lives were miserable. In order to make the people of this tribe survive, Kuafu leads people to fight against natural disasters every day.

Kuafu often hangs the vicious yellow snake he caught on his ear as decoration, and holds it in his hand and waves it proudly.

One year, the weather was very hot, and the burning sun shone directly on the earth, baking crops, scorching trees and drying rivers. People can't stand the heat. People in Kuafu are dying.

Seeing this, Kuafu was very sad. He looked up at the sun and told his people, "The sun is really hateful. I want to catch up with it and let it listen to people. " After hearing this, everyone dissuaded them.

Someone said, "Don't go. The sun is so far away from us that you will be exhausted. "

Someone said, "The sun is so hot, you will be roasted to death."

Kuafu made up his mind and vowed to catch the sun, make it obey people's orders and serve everyone. He looked at the poor people and said, "I must go for everyone's happy life!" " "

The sun had just risen from the sea, and Kuafu said goodbye to his people. With great ambition, he strode upward from the East China Sea and began his daily journey.

The sun is moving fast in the air, and Kuafu is chasing it like a high wind on the ground. He climbed mountains and mountains, and the earth was shaken by his footsteps.

Kuafu was tired from running, so he took a nap and shook the soil off the ground, forming a big dirt mountain. When he is hungry, he picks wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and sometimes Kuafu cooks. He built a pot with three stones, and these three stones became three high mountains standing at their feet, several thousand meters high.

Kuafu ran after the sun and saw that he was getting closer and closer to the sun. His confidence grew stronger and stronger. The closer you get to the sun, the thirstier you get. Holding the river can't quench your thirst.

However, he was not afraid and kept encouraging himself. "Soon, we will catch up with the sun, and people's lives will be happy."

After nine days in Kuya at sunset, Kuafu finally caught up.

Red, burning fireball, right in front of Kuafu, his head, thousands of golden light, bathed in him.

Kuafu was ecstatic with open arms, trying to embrace the sunshine. But the sun was unusually hot, and Kuafu felt thirsty and tired. He ran to the Yellow River and drank the water in one breath.

He ran to the Weihe River again and drank all the Weihe River water, but he still didn't quench his thirst.

Kuafu went to the north, where there was osawa, and there was enough water in osawa to quench Kuafu's thirst.

However, before Kuafu arrived in osawa, he died of thirst on the way.

When Kuafu died, his heart was filled with regret. He was still worried about his own people, so he threw out the stick in his hand. Where the wooden staff landed, a large lush peach forest suddenly appeared.

This peach forest is lush all the year round, providing shade for passers-by and producing fresh peaches, quenching thirst for hardworking people, and making people get rid of fatigue and embark on a journey energetically.
