One day, Dalong went to ancient times to play with Jing Wei and Xiao Tai Chi, and actually saw the legendary "unpredictable mountain" that could resist the sky and be overwhelming, saw the beautiful goddess Nu Wa, and even saw the process of the goddess mending the sky. It is really an earth-shattering experience that makes people cry, and it is all sour!
Nu Wa, the great god in the sky, made clay dolls out of clay and gave them life. From then on, Nu Wa made man, and the people lived happily for generations. However, the good times did not last long. One year, Zhu Rong, the god of fire, went to war with the god of water. * * * Workers pushed down the pillars that supported the sky, and half of them fell down, smashing many holes and cracking the ground. Floods on the ground and the water in Tianhe kept leaking downwards, causing floods and fires on the earth. What a tragedy!
In order to save mankind, Nu Wa decided to fill the sky by quarrying stones, filling the sky with five-colored stones, and then propping up the sky with the four feet of the East Sea Turtle. Seeing that the success of mending the sky is about to be completed, I found that the five-color stone is not enough and the big hole has not been mended. what can I do? The kind Nu Wa had to sacrifice her life and fill the big hole in the sky with her body, and witnessed the process with her own eyes. Tai Chi, Tai Long, Jing Wei and all the clay dolls cried their eyes red! After several efforts, Nu Wa finally made up the sky, the peace between heaven and earth was restored, and colorful clouds appeared. All living things are alive and well on the earth again. Nu Wa's dedication to the survival of mankind and all things in the world is really touching.
2, Dayu water control
When Yao was in office, there was a big flood in the Yellow River basin, crops were flooded, houses were destroyed, and people had to move to higher ground. There are poisonous snakes and beasts in many places, which endanger people and animals and make people unable to live.
Yao convened a tribal alliance meeting to discuss water control. He asked the leaders of four tribes for advice: Who should be sent to control the flood? The leaders all recommend guns (sound gǔn).
Yao doesn't believe in guns. The leader said: "There is no better talent than a gun now. Please try! " Yao reluctantly agreed.
It took Gun nine years to control the water, but he didn't subdue the flood. Because he only knew how to cover up with water and build dams, the flood collapsed and became more fierce.
After replacing Yao as the leader of the tribal alliance, Shun personally went to the place where the water was controlled. He found that Gun was ineffective, so he killed Gun and asked Gun's son Yu to control the water.
Yu changed his father's practice and introduced the flood into the sea by opening canals to drain water and dredge rivers. He worked with the people, wearing a hat and holding a shovel, taking the lead in digging holes and collecting soil, so tired that he polished the hair on his calf.
After 13 years of efforts, the flood was finally led to the sea, and the land can be used to grow human crops again.
Shortly after the wedding, in order to control water, I ran around and passed my door many times, but I didn't go in. On one occasion, his wife Tu Shanshi gave birth to his son Qi. The baby is crying. I passed by the door and heard crying, but I didn't go in to visit.
At that time, there was a mountain in the middle reaches of the Yellow River called Longmen Mountain (in the northwest of Hejin County, Shanxi Province). It blocked the river and made it very narrow. The river running eastward is blocked by Longmen Mountain, which often overflows the river and causes floods. When Yu got there, he observed the terrain, led people to dig the Longmen, and made a big hole in the mountain. In this way, the river is unimpeded.
Later generations praised Yu's achievements in water control and called him Dayu.
When Shun was old, he found an heir, just like Yao. Everyone chose because of his meritorious service in water control. After Shun's death, Yu inherited the leadership position of the tribal alliance.
At this time, it has reached the late stage of the clan commune. With the development of productive forces, what a person produces is not only to maintain his own life, but also surplus. The leaders of clans and tribes took advantage of their position and took the surplus products as their private property and became nobles of clans. With the surplus products, wars broke out between tribes, captured prisoners, stopped killing, and turned them into slaves to work for nobles. In this way, the two classes of slaves and slave owners gradually formed, and the clan commune began to collapse.
Due to Yu's achievements in water control, the prestige and power of tribal alliance leaders have been improved. According to legend, when Yu was old, he traveled eastward to Huiji Mountain (in Shaoxing, Zhejiang) and gathered many tribal leaders. All the people who went to see jade held jade in their hands, and the ceremony was very grand. There was a tribal leader named Fang Feng, who was the last to attend the meeting. I thought I wouldn't do it, so I beheaded Fang Feng. This shows that Yu at that time had changed from a tribal alliance leader to a veritable king. Yu once had an assistant named, who helped Yu manage politics. After his death, his son Boyi also became Yu's assistant. According to the abdication system, Boyi should have been the heir of Yu. However, after Yu's death, the nobles of the Xia tribe where Yu lived supported Yu's son Qi to inherit Yu's throne.
In this way, the tribal alliance election system in the clan commune period was officially abolished and became the hereditary system of the throne. The first slavery dynasty in Chinese history-Xia Dynasty appeared.
3. shepherdess and chimney sweeper
Have you ever seen an old wooden cupboard? It's a little dark when I'm old.
It is engraved with many vine patterns and leaves. There is such a cupboard in the living room. I inherited it from my great-grandmother. It is carved with roses and tulips from top to bottom. There are many strange vine patterns on it. In the middle of these patterns, the head of a small stag is exposed, with many flower horns on its head. A full-length portrait of a person was carved in the center of the cupboard. He looks funny, he shows his teeth-you can't think that's laughter. He has a ram's leg, a small horn on his forehead and a long beard.
The children in the room always call him "Goat Leg-Lieutenant General and Major General-Combat Commander-Sergeant". This is a difficult name to pronounce, and not many people get this title. But shaping him is not an easy task.
He's standing there now! He always looks at the table under the mirror, because there is a lovely little shepherdess made of porcelain on it. She is wearing a pair of gold-plated shoes; Her long skirt is tied with a red rose, which looks fashionable. She also has a gold hat and a stick. She is really touching!
Next to her stood a little chimney sweeper. He is black as charcoal, but he is also made of porcelain. His cleanliness is better than anyone else. He sweeps chimneys-it's just a hypothesis. People who make porcelain may also pinch him into a prince. If they are in this mood!
He stood there with a ladder, very handsome. His face is a little white and a little red, much like a girl. This is really a disadvantage, because he should be a little black. He stood close to the shepherdess; The two of them were put in such a position. But now in this position, they are engaged. They are a good match. Both of them are very young, both made of the same porcelain and equally fragile.
Close to them, there is another character. This man is three times older than them. He is an old man from China. He will nod. He is also made of porcelain; He said he was the grandfather of the little shepherdess, but he couldn't prove it. He insisted that he had the right to control her, so he went too far with the "leg of lamb-major general-combat commander-sergeant" who proposed to the little shepherdess.
"Now you can have a husband!" The old man from China said, "I believe this man is made of mahogany. He can make you the wife of' Goat Leg-Lieutenant General and Major General-Combat Commander-Sergeant'. In addition to many hidden things, he also has a whole cabinet of silver plates. "
"I don't want to go into that dark cupboard!" Said the little shepherdess. "I heard that he has 1 1 porcelain aunts."
"Then you are 12," said the China people. "Tonight, when that old cupboard starts to rattle, you will get married, just like I am from China!" So he nodded and went to bed.
But the little shepherdess looked at sweeper, her favorite ceramic chimney, and began to cry.
"I beg you," she said, "I beg you to take me to the wide world. I won't be happy here. "
Her lover comforted her and taught her how to climb down her little feet from the legs of the table with carved gold-plated leaves. He also brought his ladder to help her. After a while, they came to the ground. But when they looked up at the old cupboard, they heard a big commotion inside; All carved deer stick out their heads, erect horns and turn their necks at the same time. "Goat leg-lieutenant general and major general-combat commander-sergeant" stormed into the air and shouted to the old China people on the other side at the same time:
"They eloped now! They have eloped now! "
They were a little scared and jumped into a drawer under the windowsill.
There were three or four incomplete playing cards and a puppet theater-if possible, it eventually built a statue. The play began, and all the ladies-diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades-sat in the front row, waving fans made of tulips. All the "jacks" are standing behind them, indicating that they all have a head up and down, just like in ordinary playing cards. The play depicts two young people who cannot get married. The little shepherdess began to cry because it was similar to her own life.
These are the names of the colors on playing cards.
"I can't watch it anymore," she said. "I have to get out of this drawer!"
But when they came to the ground and looked at the table, the old man in China woke up, trembling all over-because his lower body was a whole piece.
"The old Chinese are coming!" The little shepherdess let out a scream. Her porcelain knees bent to the ground because she was too scared.
"I have an idea," said the chimney sweeper. "Shall we go to the big vase at the foot of the wall? We can lie in roses and lavender. If he finds it, we will put a handful of salt in his eyes. "
① PotpourriKrukken is an interior decoration in old Europe, which usually contains dried rose petals and other petals, so that the room always keeps a fragrance. In order to prevent these petals from rotting, some salt is often put in the bottle.
"That won't do any good," she said. "I know the old China people engaged in mixed vases. Since there has been such a relationship, there will always be some feelings between them. No, now we have no choice but to escape to the outside world. "
"Do you really have the courage to run to the wide world with me?" Asked the chimney sweeper. "Have you ever thought about how big the outside world is, and once we go, we will never come back?"
"I thought about it." She replied.
The chimney sweeper stared at her, so he said:
"My way is through the chimney. Do you really have the courage to climb into the stove and climb out of the stove and ventilation pipe with me? Only in this way can we walk into the chimney. I'll know what to do when I get there. We can climb very high, and they can't catch up with us anyway. There is a hole in the top that leads to the outside world. "
So he took her to the door of the stove.
"It looks really dark inside!" She said. But she followed him in, past the stove and the ventilation duct-it was dark night inside.
"Now we are in the chimney," he said. "Look, look! How bright is that beautiful star above! "
That's a real star in the sky. It shines on them, as if to lead them the way. They crawled and groped their way forward. This is a terrible road-it hangs very high, very high. But he took her and led her up. He helped her and instructed her where it was safest to put down a pair of small porcelain feet. So they climbed to the exit of the chimney and sat there, because they felt very tired-they should.
The sky full of stars hangs high; All the roofs in the city are listed under them. They looked around at a distance-the vast world. The poor shepherdess never imagined that the world was like this; She leaned her little head against the chimney sweeper and began to cry sadly, so that the gold on the ribbon was washed away by tears.
"It's true," she said. "I can't stand it. The world is too vast! I wish I could go back to the table under the mirror! I will never be happy until I get back there. Now that I have followed you to this boundless world, if you have a little QQ/index.html "> feeling, you have to accompany me back!"
The chimney sweeper advised her with rational words, and deliberately mentioned the old man China and "goat leg-Lieutenant General-combat commander-sergeant". But she cried so sadly and kissed the chimney sweeper that he had to obey her-although it was very unwise.
So they had a hard time climbing down the chimney again. They climbed down the ventilation duct and fireplace. This is not pleasant at all. They stood in the dark stove, listening quietly behind the door, wondering what happened in the house. There was silence in the room and they peeped out. Oh! That old China is lying in the middle of the ground! This is because he fell off the table while chasing them. Now he is lying there and broke into three pieces. His back fell down and became a piece; His head rolled into the corner. The "goat leg-lieutenant general and major general-operational commander-sergeant" is still standing in his original place, as if thinking about something.
"This is terrible!" Said the little shepherdess. "Grandpa broke into pieces. This is totally our fault. I can't live! " So she twisted her little hands sadly.
"He can fix it!" The chimney sweeper said, "He can totally fix it! Please don't get too excited. As long as you stick his back together and nail a nail in his neck, you can still say something unpleasant to us like a new one. "
"Do you really think so?" She asked.
So they climbed onto the table again and went back to their original place.
"You see, we went for a long ride in vain," said the chimney sweeper.
"We don't have to go to so much trouble!"
"I just hope my grandfather can fix it!" The shepherdess said. "Will it cost a lot of money?"
He was really repaired. The family managed to glue his back and nail a strong nail to his neck. He is as good as new, but he can't nod any more.
"Since you collapsed, you seem to have become very conceited." "Goat Leg-Lieutenant General and Major General-Combat Commander-Sergeant" said. "I don't think you have any reason to put on airs. Do I want to marry her or not? "
The chimney sweeper and the shepherdess looked at the old China, looking miserable for fear that he would nod. But he can't nod now. At the same time, he felt embarrassed to tell a stranger that he had a nail firmly tied to his neck. Thus, this pair of porcelain people became family members. They blessed the old grandfather's nails; They fell in love until they parted.
4. Smart little tailor
Once upon a time, there was a very proud princess. Whenever someone comes to propose to her, she always asks him to guess a riddle. If she can't guess, she will proudly drive them away. She also posted a notice saying that she would marry whoever could guess the riddle. Finally, the three tailors came together, and the two older ones thought that they had done so much clever work in their lives that they would succeed this time. The other is a little boy, short and doing nothing. He is not good at studying art, but he is lucky and wants to try his luck. I just heard those two say to him, "You'd better stay at home, because your little cleverness can't do it." But the little tailor was not discouraged, saying that he had made up his mind to take care of himself. So he also made a fortune, and the world was like him.
The three of them came to the princess, reported their situation, and then asked her to make a riddle. They claim to be intelligent and meticulous, and only they can guess riddles. The princess said, "I have two kinds of hair on my head." What color are they? " "That's it?" The first one said, "It must be black and white, just like sesame with cloth." The princess said, "Wrong guess, let's guess for the second time." So the second one said, "If it's not black and white, it must be brown and red, just like my father's holiday dress." "Wrong guess," said the princess. "Let the third to answer. You must know from his appearance. " So the little tailor stood up boldly and said, "The princess has a silver hair and a blonde hair on her head, but their colors are just different." After hearing this, the princess turned pale and almost fell to the ground with fear. The little tailor guessed right. She was confident that no one in the world knew the secret. She calmed down and said, "You guessed it right, but I can't marry you yet. There's one more thing you need to do. There is a bear in the column below. You must spend the night there tonight. When I wake up tomorrow morning, you can marry me. " She thought that she could get rid of the little tailor, because so far no one who fell into the bear's paw has escaped death. Without fear, the little tailor said happily, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
In the evening, our little tailor was taken to bear. The bear is about to pounce on the young man and give him a warm welcome with its claws. "Don't move! Freeze! " The little tailor said, "I will teach you to be quiet soon." So he pretended as if nothing had happened, took out a handful of nuts from his pocket, bit open the shell and began to eat nuts. The bear saw it and wanted to eat nuts, too. The tailor reached into his pocket, took out a full handful and stuffed it into the bear's paw. It's actually not a nut, but a pebble. The bear put the stone in his mouth, but no matter how he bit it, he thought, "Alas! I am such a fool that I can't even bite a nut! " So it said to the tailor, "Come on, give me a bite." "Look, you are so stupid!" The tailor said, "The mouth is so big that small nuts can't be bitten." So he picked up the stone, but cleverly put a nut in his mouth, clicked it and bit it in half. "I must try again," said the bear. "I think I can bite it too." So, the tailor gave it another stone. The bear bit and bit so hard that you can't imagine how it was bitten off. Then, the tailor took out a violin from his clothes and played it alone. The bear couldn't help dancing when he heard the music. It danced for a while and thought this little thing was very interesting. Then it said to the little tailor, "Hey, is it difficult to play the piano?" "It's too easy, not even a three-year-old child. You see, my left hand is pointing at the piano and my right hand is drawing the bow, which is handy. " "good!" Bear said, "I also want to learn to play the piano, so that I can dance whenever I want." What do you think? " Can you teach me? "I'd love to," said the tailor, "but it depends on your talent. Let me see your paws first. They are too long. I have to trim your nails first. So he took out a vise and asked the bear to put his paw in it. The little tailor twisted the vise hard and said, "Don't move until I get the scissors." So he abandoned the bear and let it roar loudly, but he fell asleep on a pile of straw in the corner.
The bear howled loudly all night. When the princess heard this, she thought that the bear had killed the little tailor, and now she howled excitedly. When the princess got up in the morning, she looked indifferent and was very excited. But when she looked into the column, she found the tailor standing in front of her, safe and sound, with a smug look on his face. Now she has no choice but to agree to the wedding because she has a previous engagement. So the king sent a carriage to take her and the tailor to the church and let them have a wedding there. When they climbed into the carriage, the other two tailors, jealous of the little tailor's happiness, maliciously walked into the wooden fence and let the bear out. I saw the bear desperately chasing the carriage with anger, panting and howling. The princess was startled at the sound and screamed, "Ah! The bear will catch you behind! " The tailor had a brainwave, lowered his head, put his foot out of the window and shouted, "See the vise!" " If you don't leave, I'll clip you in again! "As soon as the bear saw that guy, he turned and ran away. So the tailor and the princess went to the church safely and immediately held a wedding. From then on, they lived a happy life.
5. The Wolf and the Fox
The wolf used to live with the fox. The fox had to do whatever the wolf wanted, because the fox was weak. Once they walked through a big forest together, and the wolf said, "Red Fox, go and find me something to eat, or I will eat you." The fox replied, "I know there is a farm nearby with two lambs." If you like, we will get one. The wolf thought it was a good idea and went to the farm with the fox. The fox sneaked in and stole a lamb and gave it to the wolf. He walked away quickly. The wolf ate the lamb and felt dissatisfied. If he wanted to eat it, he ran to steal it himself. The wolf was all thumbs, and was immediately discovered by the ewe. She screamed "baa". When the farmer heard this, he ran out and saw that it was a wolf. He beat him mercilessly and howled until he limped to the fox. "You lied to me too hard! The wolf said, "I want to eat another sheep." That farmer suddenly attacked me and beat me almost to a pulp! "The fox said," Who made you so greedy? "
The next day, they came to the farm again. The greedy wolf said, "Red Fox, go and find me something to eat, or I will eat you." The fox replied, "I know a farmer who is going to fry pancakes tonight." Let's get something to eat. " They came to the farmhouse, and the fox crept around the house, smelling and looking in, and finally found the plate on which the cake was placed, so he stole six pancakes and gave them to the wolf. "This is for you to eat." The fox said that and left. The wolf ate six pancakes in a blink of an eye and said to himself, "These pancakes really make people want to eat." So I ran over and dragged the whole plate down, and it fell to the ground and broke. The noise alarmed the peasant woman. When she found that it was a wolf, she quickly called someone. Together, they beat it hard with sticks until the wolf dragged his two lame legs and howled and fled back to the forest. "It's hateful of you to cheat me to that farmer, only to be caught by the farmer and beaten to pieces." But the fox said, "Who made you so greedy?"
On the third day, they went out together again. The wolf had to limp and say to the fox, "Red Fox, go and find me something to eat, or I will eat you." The fox said, "I know a man who just killed an animal today." The freshly salted meat is put in a bucket in the basement. Let's go and buy some. " The wolf said, "I'll go with you." If I get caught, you can give me a hand. " "ok." The fox told the wolf the way and path to the cellar. They finally came to the cellar, where there was a lot of meat. The wolf opened his mouth and ate it. The wolf thought, "I will have enough time to have fun before I leave." The fox loves to eat, too, but he always looks around and runs to the entrance from time to time to see if his body can go out. The wolf asked, "Dear fox, can you tell me why you always run around and come in and out?" "I have to see if anyone comes," replied the sly partner. "Don't eat too much!" The wolf said, "I will eat all the meat in the bucket." At this time, the farmer heard the fox coming in and out, and went to the cellar. The fox jumped out of the car and ran away as soon as he saw his shadow. The wolf wants to run with him, too, but he is too full to get out of the hole. The farmer killed the wolf with a stick, but the fox ran back to the forest and was very excited to get rid of the greedy wolf.
