Longxiang phoenix dance guards the pearl
Legend has it that in ancient times, in the grottoes east of Tianhe, there lived a snow-white Jade Dragon, and in the big forest west of Tianhe, there lived a colorful golden phoenix. Yulong and Jinfeng are neighbors. Every morning, one of them goes out of the grottoes and the other flies out of the Woods, each busy with his own business. One day, one of them flew in the sky, the other swam in Tianhe, flying and swimming, and unconsciously came to a fairy island.
They found a shiny stone on the island. Jinfeng liked it very much and said to Yulong, "Yulong Yulong, look how beautiful this stone is!" " Yulong also likes it very much, so he said to Jinfeng, "Jinfeng, Jinfeng, shall we polish it into a bead?" "Jinfeng nodded, and they began to work. Yulong clawed with her claws, and Jinfeng pecked with her mouth. Day by day, year by year passed.
They really cut the stone into round beads. Jinfeng happily flew to the fairy mountain and brought many dewdrops to the beads; Yulong swam to Tianhe happily, sucked a lot of clean water and sprayed it on the beads. Drop, drop, spray, spray, and slowly the bead becomes bright and shiny. Since then, Yulong likes Jinfeng, and Jinfeng also likes Yulong; Yulong and Jinfeng both like their pearls.
Yulong didn't want to go back to the grottoes in the east of Tianhe, and Jinfeng didn't want to go back to the Woods in the west of Tianhe, so she went to Xiandao in Tianhe to guard their pearls day and night. This pearl is really a treasure. Where the sun shines, the trees are evergreen, the flowers are in full bloom, the mountains are beautiful and the crops are bumper. When the heavenly queen walked out of the palace gate, she saw the bright light of this pearl at once and was very envious.
One night in Guang Chen, she sent a trusted mountain soldier to quietly take the pearl away while Yulong and Jinfeng were asleep. The queen mother likes this pearl so much that she doesn't even want to show it to others. She hid in the fairy palace, closed nine doors and locked nine locks outside. When Yulong and Jinfeng woke up, they found that the pearl was gone. They are really anxious! ?
Yulong searched east and west, and searched every grotto under the Tianhe River, but he couldn't find it. Jinfeng looked everywhere in fairy mountain, but she couldn't find it. They are very sad, but they still look around day and night, hoping to find their beloved pearls. On the birthday of the Queen Mother, immortals from all directions rushed to the Fairy Palace to celebrate her birthday. The Queen Mother arranged a grand flat peach party and invited all the immortals. ?
Immortals drink and eat flat peaches to congratulate the heavenly queen; Happiness is like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than the South Mountain. The Queen Mother was happy and said to the fairies, "Dear fairies, I invite you to see a precious pearl, which is hard to find in heaven and on earth!" " With that, he took nine keys from his belt, opened nine locks, walked into nine doors and took out pearls from inside.
Put it in the middle of the hall with a gold plate. Pearls are shiny and shiny, and immortals applaud them. At this time, Yulong and Jinfeng are looking for their pearls everywhere. Jinfeng found the light from the pearl and called Yulong: "Yulong Yulong, come and see if that is the light from our pearl?" ?
Yulong poked his head out of the Tianhe River and saw it: "Yes, it must be our pearl. Get it back quickly! " Yulong and Jinfeng immediately walked to the light of the Pearl until they found the fairy palace of the Queen Mother. The immortals probe and applaud around the pearl. Yulong came forward and said, "This pearl is ours! "Jinfeng also said," This pearl is ours! " ?
As soon as the queen mother heard the fire, she shouted at Yulong, and Jinfeng opened her mouth and scolded, "Nonsense! I am the mother of the Jade Emperor, and all the treasures in the sky are mine. " Yulong and Jinfeng were very angry. Together, they said to the Queen Mother, "This pearl is not born in the sky, nor does it grow underground. It is our hard work, day after day, year after year! " ?
Hearing this, the queen mother was ashamed and anxious. She stretched out her hand to protect the golden plate with pearls and told the heavenly soldiers to drive Yulong and Jinfeng out. Jinfeng saw that the queen mother was unreasonable and rushed to grab pearls; Yulong saw that the queen mother was unreasonable and hurried to grab pearls. With three hands holding a gold plate, no one will relax. You pulled me, and when the golden plate shook, the pearl rolled down, rolled to the edge of the steps, and fell from the sky to the ground. ?
Yulong and Jinfeng saw that the pearl had fallen, so they quickly turned over to protect it. Yulong swims and Jinfeng flies. They are in front, behind, left and right for a while, protecting the pearl and slowly falling from the sky to the ground. As soon as this pearl landed, it immediately became a clear West Lake. Yulong was reluctant to leave his pearl, so he turned into the majestic Yulong Mountain to protect it.
Jinfeng couldn't bear to part with her pearl, so she turned into a green Phoenix Mountain to protect it. Since then, Phoenix Mountain and Yulong Mountain have stood quietly by the West Lake. Until now, there are still two ancient ballads circulating in Hangzhou: the Pearl of the West Lake falls from the sky, and the dragon and phoenix dance to Qiantang. ?

Other stories of dragon and phoenix dance:
According to legend, during the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was a special tree growing in the forest of West Tianmu Mountain, which had a strange shape and could accommodate eight people. Once a woodcutter happened to see a white-haired old man sitting on a tree in the distance, but he disappeared when he approached. After the news spread, the people regarded him as a "tree god" and worshipped him. One day, four families, including former Sun Zhao and Li, went to worship their last wishes. Among them, the Zhao family prayed for the "honor" of future generations;
Sun family prayed to bless their children and grandchildren for "wealth"; The Li family prayed to bless their children's "fame"; The Qian family only wants to bless their children and grandchildren for "harmony". Later, each of the four families gained something, but the length of good and bad luck was quite different. The Zhao family has two brothers who have won the world, and their descendants have enjoyed the throne for more than a hundred years. The Northern Song Dynasty was invaded by Jurchen, and most of Zhao Guangyi's descendants were taken captive. Only Zhao Gou fled to the south of the Yangtze River and founded the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, Zhao Gou suffered from childlessness, and Zhao Guangyi became extinct. Therefore, it was transferred to the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin to maintain the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty. More than a hundred years later, it was invaded by nomadic tribes in the north, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished, so did the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin. It can be seen that the "noble" to the supreme royal family can not last long, and only "virtuous" can maintain its status for a long time and spread to the world.
Sun Chengyou, a descendant of the Sun family, married King Wu Yue with his sister and became a rich man. Later generations Sun Bin was also good at managing money. He was in charge of Chen Zhou wine tax and was promoted to Fujian transshipment ambassador. He is kind and trustworthy, and his ruling is "generous and peaceful", which not only makes his family rich, but also benefits the people in his jurisdiction. But as the saying goes, "the rich are not three generations", and the Sun family is no exception, and they are poor for three or four generations.
As for the Li family, the name of the poem has been passed down from generation to generation. There was a strange man named Gao Debiao who fell into the water and died. I'm sorry. Only the Qian family, with "harmony" to carry on the family line, pay attention to "self-cultivation and family harmony" and "learning etiquette", can let future generations reproduce, be happy to help the world and bring forth talented people. This is the "Qian family" who was born in Lin 'an and originated in Hangzhou, benefiting Zhejiang and five continents.
Facts show that "harmony" is a family heirloom and the foundation of prosperity. "People" should learn from this. Although this legendary story may not really be blessed by the so-called "Tree King of Tianmu Mountain", Su Dongpo once had such a eulogy in the Song Dynasty: "Tianmu Mountain is full of flowers and dragons and phoenixes dancing, which was collected from Lin 'an. When a stranger is born, his followers are like clouds. There are wuyue, golden coupons and jade books. Moire Yun Wu, a hundred million descendants. "
Dragon and phoenix dance is from this allusion. At first, it described the grandeur of mountains, and later it also described the momentum of calligraphy.
