During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, a rich boy was lucky enough to win the first prize, so he thought he was the best in the world.
One day he went back to his hometown to visit his mother in plain clothes. He passed a small mountain village and saw a woman coming out of a low hut. The beauty of this woman captivated the champion at once. He hurried forward to find something to say. Women just sneer and can't answer a word. The champion lost his mind for a moment and extended his hand to the woman. As soon as a woman hides, she shouts, Come out, Mom. As soon as the cry fell, an old woman came out of the room and asked, what do you want me to do? Knowing that this was the woman's mother, the champion came forward and said, "The student passed by here, thirsty and wanted to beg for water." . Hearing this, the old woman said to the woman, Go and get a bowl of water. As soon as the woman won the championship, she asked the old woman, How old is your daughter? The old woman said: She belongs to the tiger. The champion pulled his finger and said, Ah, nineteen years old. Then he asked, have you ever been married? The old woman said, this is my only daughter. I don't want to marry her or go out with me. When a woman gets married, she will get married sooner or later. The champion said that an old man is worthless. At this time, the woman came out with a bowl of water. As soon as she heard this, she said: Niang is a rogue, vicious and extremely serious. Don't tell him more. The champion quickly said to the old woman, sister, this is too casual. I am a top student in the new subject. The old woman didn't know what a champion was, so she asked him, what is a champion? The champion said: the champion is the first item in the Jinshi exam and the most knowledgeable person in the world. The woman asked him: How many years does the champion come out? The champion said: one in three years. The woman smiled and said, alas, I thought there was only one for thousands of years. There used to be one in three years. What's strange about that! The old woman scolded: What do children know? The woman said: naturally, compared with the most learned scholars, I can't know very little. Because of this, I have to ask the top scholars for advice in the first part: carbon black is hotter than cotton, and I don't know how to do the second part. The number one scholar is the most learned person. Can you tell? The champion bowed his head and meditated for a long time, but he was too ashamed to look up. The woman smiled and clapped her hands and said, alas, there are only so many people with the most knowledge. Champion, how about this: yellow rice is as expensive as gold. Then he floated back to the house.
As soon as the champion heard that this woman was beautiful and talented, he liked her even more. He respectfully told the old woman that the student is not married yet. He loves and respects your daughter and wants to marry her. If you don't mind, I'd like to leave a small employment gift. He took out two gold ingots from Huang Cancan and handed them to the old woman. The old woman touched the gold ingot and said, What is this, smelly and cold? The champion said: This is a gold ingot that you can buy when you are hungry and wear when you are cold. It is the most precious thing in the world. Hearing this, the old woman gave the gold ingot to the champion and said coldly, I have several acres of mulberry trees at home, so I'm not afraid of freezing and hunger. It's no use having this gold ingot. With that, he went to the house. The champion hurried forward and grabbed the old woman's clothes and said, I still have something to say. The old woman was angry: you don't know the rules. No wonder my daughter says you are not serious. Go away. With that, he broke free from the champion's hand, entered the room and slammed the door.
The pretentious champion was rejected in a small mountain village and had to leave angrily.

Legend of "Hanging Coffin" in Longhu Mountain
Legend has it that the cliff coffin of Longhu Mountain in Guixi, Jiangxi Province was left over by the ancestors of the ancient Baiyue nationality. There is a mysterious story about a cliff coffin being placed high on a steep cliff, which is still circulating among the people.
A long time ago, there was a coffin shop owner who made a fortune selling coffins. One day, he put a dozen coffins in wooden boats and transported them from the valley to the city by water to sell them. The wooden boat was loaded with coffins and floated down the Luxi River. When the wooden boat floated to the edge of Longhu Mountain, the boss saw a beautiful coffin lying in the hole on the cliff. He quickly asked the boatman to drive the boat closer so as to see it clearly. It turned out to be a first-class coffin carved with nanmu. He thought, that coffin is so good, if only I gave it to my old father as a coffin! Just then, a wandering fairy passed by Longhu Mountain. Seeing that the boss was very filial, he used magic to blow a breeze, and the nanmu coffin gently floated to the boss's boat. The boss stood watching from a distance and suddenly stood in front of him to look carefully. He was so happy that he circled the nanmu coffin, which proved to be a huge nanmu carving. The more he watched it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't bear to go away. Then, it suddenly occurred to him that he was over half a year old, and this exquisite nanmu coffin was still for me to enjoy! Father's coffin is in his coffin shop. Just pick a good one.
The owner of the coffin shop just thought of it here. The wandering fairy found that his filial piety was false. He was too greedy for money and wanted to have a good sleep in the nanmu coffin when he died. The wandering fairy is angry, and he wants to punish this disloyal and unfilial bastard who eats. So he cast a spell again, saying only one word, and the wind in Luxi River suddenly blew all the coffins on the boat into the cliff hole. What about this greedy coffin shop owner? His boat capsized and his men died, leaving him with money and men.

The Origin of Cold Food Festival
Cold Food Festival is the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day. In the past, during the Cold Food Festival, people didn't make a fire and ate cold food. The earliest cold food festival was one month, and then it gradually became three days. Nowadays, people are no longer used to eating cold food, but this festival remains as a custom.
According to legend, this festival was handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period to commemorate the loyal minister Jie.
Jie Zhitui is a virtuous minister in the State of Jin. The monarch he served was Jin Wengong, the son of Zhong Er. On one occasion, there was civil strife in the State of Jin, and his son Zhong Er was forced to flee abroad. In spite of all the difficulties, Jie Zhitui followed Zhong Er all the time.
Once, he was exiled to the state of Wei, and he was ill on the way, poor and sick, and very poor. At ordinary times, Zhong Er relies on picking wild vegetables and fruits from ministers to satisfy his hunger. Today, after his illness, wild vegetables and fruits can't be swallowed any more. At this moment, meson pushed to cut a piece of meat on his leg, cooked it into broth, and gave it to Zhong Er to help Zhong Er survive.
Later, Zhong Er became a monarch named Jin Wengong. At first, he remembered that Jie Zhitui tried his best to help him in extremely difficult times. But after a long time, I gradually forgot. On one occasion, he rewarded the hero who followed him into exile and even forgot the introduction. Jie Zhitui was very uncomfortable and determined never to see this ungrateful monarch again. He carried his elderly mother on his back and fled to a mountain near his hometown to live in seclusion. Later, Jin Wengong found that he lacked the promotion of an intermediary, and recalled that he forgot to reward the sage who "reduced his shares to serve you". He felt guilty and went to the agency for help. Only then did he hear that he had gone to live in seclusion in the mountains. Jin Wengong personally went to his secluded mountain to look for it, only to see many green hills and lush trees. How can he see the shadow of the solution? He shouted at the top of the mountain, only to hear the echo of the valley, but Jay pushed the mountain out to meet him. Jin Wengong believes that Jie Zhitui is a dutiful son. If Yamakaji is released, he must run away from the mountain with his mother on his back so that he can see him. So he ordered the release of Yamakaji. Just as the wind was surging, the fire spread for dozens of miles and burned for three days, burning a piece of green hill into scorched earth, but it was still pushed out of the mountain without being solved. After the fire went out, people saw Jie Zhitui holding her old mother and being burned to death in the depths of the jungle.
Jin Wengong wants to see Jiezhitui, but Jiezhitui would rather be burned to death than meet each other. Jin Wengong is more sad. After the news came out, people were in awe of Jie tui and missed it. In memory of the day when he was burned to death. This is the day before Tomb-Sweeping Day in March every year. Because Jie Zhitui was killed by fire, people couldn't bear to make a fire to eat cold food on this day, so it was called the Cold Food Festival.

After Fuxi's brother and sister came to earth, the world became more and more lively every day. However, people then were very different from us now. At that time, people couldn't grow crops because there were forests everywhere and there were few open spaces. Their food mainly depends on hunting and picking fruits from trees. At that time, the earth's environment was much purer than it is now, and there were many kinds of fruits and their sizes were much larger than those of similar fruits now. But it is still not enough to eat, so people use hunting and other methods to supplement food. At that time, God gave people many ways to get food. These methods are not developed, but given by God.
It is said that God let Fuxi also find a way to get food, that is, fishing with a net. In the past, there was no opposition between "fishing and catching fish", only the harmonious concept of "fishing".
One day Fuxi was idle and went for a walk by the river. Walking, Fuxi occasionally looked up and saw a big and fat carp jumping out of the water and jumping so high. After a while, another carp jumped up; After a while, another one came. This attracted Fuxi's attention. He thought, these carp are big and fat. It's good to eat them! He made up his mind to go to the river to catch fish. After waiting for a long time, Fuxi caught a fat and big carp. Fuxi was very happy and took the carp back. On the way back, Fuxi got a way to eat fish from the sky, that is, roast it with fire. At that time, people were functional, and they would get angry when their fingers touched them. People's morality is very high. They won't do anything they shouldn't do with fire. It was only later that people began to do bad things with fire, and it was not until the last day that the function of fire was taken away from the human body.
All the people with Fuxi came to ask questions when they saw Fuxi catching fish. Fuxi roasted the fish with fire in public and tore it up for them to eat. Everyone ate it and found it delicious. Fuxi said to them, "Since the fish is delicious, we will start fishing in the future to help make up for our lives." Of course, everyone agrees. Now they all go to the river to catch fish. After fishing all afternoon, almost everyone caught one, and some caught three or four. Now everyone is very happy. They take the fish back and have a delicious meal.
Later, God gave Fuxi some ways to catch fish.
One day, Fuxi was idle again, lying under a tree and looking at the sky.
At this moment, he saw a spider weaving a web between two branches. One line on the left, one line on the right, and soon a round net will be formed. After the spider made a web, after a while, some mosquitoes, flies and so on. Fly far away and soon stick to the internet. Spiders use these gains to make a hearty meal.
When Fuxi saw the spider weaving a web, his heart was suddenly enlightened. He ran to the mountain and found some kudzu vines as ropes to weave a thick web like a spider's web. Then he cut off two sticks, tied them to the net, and tied a long stick in the middle, and the net was finished. He took the net to the river and put it in the river. After a while, he pulled it up. Oh, the net is full of lively fish. This method is really good. Compared with catching fish by hand, people don't have to go into the water.
Fuxi taught people how to weave nets. From then on, everyone knows to fish with nets, and people still fish with nets until now.

The legend of steamed bread
Steamed bread, also called steamed bread head. There is a legend about the origin of this name.
In the early years, it was said that there was a kind and gentle servant in the palace. Folk military commanders, servants and maids all have a good impression on this servant.
One afternoon, the prince came out to play with his sword. I met a woodcarving and clay sculpture artist who was carefully carving the pillars of the well lip pavilion. When the prince saw the old artist, he told him to ride on his belly, but the old artist refused to accept his death. The prince flew into a rage and drew his sword and viciously stabbed the old artist. The old artist quickly dodged and ran around the wellhead. The prince stabbed several swords, but none of them hit. The prince was so anxious to kill someone that he suddenly shouted "Kill!" I forgot it was a well and went straight to it, but fell into it. This really scared the old artists.
All this was suggested by a kind servant. He ran to the well and said eagerly, "No, someone is dead!" " Go away! I arranged everything. "
The servant hurried to the court and began to play for the emperor. The emperor immediately ordered the doctor to salvage. When it was fished out, the prince was already dead.
The emperor asked, "Why did the prince fall into the well and die?" The servant replied, "The prince wanted to ride the old slave as a horse, but the old slave didn't respond. The prince was furious, drew his sword and stabbed the slave, then fell into the well. Slavery should say go to hell! " The emperor roared, "Knife and axe hand!" "Yes!" "Take the servant down and behead him at noon tomorrow!"
All the officials in the Qing Dynasty came to plead for the servant, but the emperor refused to forgive him. That night, the old sculptor consulted with the doctor who guarded the servant and came up with a good idea.
Overnight, the old artist shaped a head exactly like a servant, tied his body with cattail, put on the servant's hat and clothes.
At noon the next day, two catamarans dressed as servants dragged him out of the noon gate and cut off his head with knives and axes. The blood in the pig urine bag overflowed ahead of time. The thugs offered bloody heads, and when the emperor saw it, he was really a servant.
In the middle of the night, servants and old clay sculptors will get together and thank each other. At present, the two agreed to bring gold and silver, and the servant took out two BMW cars and escaped with the help of the guards.
They rode horses, ran far and far, and came to live in an ancient city. In order to make a living, a small restaurant was opened, and heads of various shapes were steamed with white flour to show celebration and auspiciousness, and it was named full life.
In order to attract passers-by, they appeared in front of the chopping board, saying that steamed bread can make amends to avoid disasters and get good luck. After hearing this, people rushed to buy it as a sacrifice on the New Year's Day or during the festival. The ancients also had the habit of cherishing rice. I wonder who led them to eat sacrificial steamed bread. As a result, steamed bread, which is dedicated as a sacrifice, has gradually become a daily food. In order to save trouble, people simplified the practice, no longer retaining the original head shape, only retaining the hemisphere. In order to mark the seven secrets of people, seven small holes are pinched out with the little finger and tied up with red dates. I don't know how many years have passed, and the language has changed, because the head and the head are the same thing, and the head is also called steamed bread, which is relatively simple. Putting seven red dots on steamed bread is a sign of the seven senses. As of today, no one has ordered any more red dots. This is the big snowflake steamed bread we are eating now.

Stewed assorted food
"Family photo" is a dish name, which is a famous dish in Northeast China. The ingredients used to make this dish, flying in the sky, walking underground and running in the sea, must be there. Nothing can be regarded as a "family photo".
Mention this dish, there is a story.
When Qin Shihuang was in power, he burned books and buried Confucianism. A Confucian scholar ran away from home for three years, and there was not even a message. His parents have only one child, and their hearts are always in their throats.
This year, it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. When my son is at home, on this day, three people, old and young, drink reunion wine and eat reunion dinner, and have a happy holiday. Now that my son is not at home, I don't know if he is alive or dead. The old couple are not in the mood to deal with it. The pigs and sheep were not killed, and the chickens and ducks were not killed. Tell the chef to go to the market and buy something casually to make a holiday!
Two days before the festival, the chef soaked the remaining two sea cucumbers. In the early morning of the festival, I went to the market to buy a catty of pork and a white striped chicken, and came back to cook some home-cooked dishes. At noon, the dishes are served to the old couple.
The old couple are heartless: no idea. Eating slowly, my son Lengding came back, my father wore a crooked hat, my mother buckled her shoes upside down, pulled her son over, watched him, kissed him, and the family of three sat at the table drinking reunion wine.
The chef was very happy to see this scene, but he knew that his cooking was not enough for three people. It's too late to kill pigs and sheep, even if you buy now, you don't have to worry. The chef is very kind, and always feels that this newly reunited family can't drink reunion wine because there is not enough food! How about cooking another dish? At present, there is only one sea cucumber, a small piece of pork, a piece of chicken breast and nothing else. I have no money to cook any food. I can't make it up. It used to mean that girls with sparse hair can't afford to make it up when they get married. Here, it generally means that there are few things that can't be done. Let's go
The cook thought for a while and simply stewed the remaining three things in a spoonful, which was enough to make a dish. Do it when you think of it, change the knife, then take the horse spoon, fry it three times and twice, add seasoning, and take it out to serve.
The old couple have never seen sea cucumber, pork and chicken served together. Once eaten, it tastes delicious and fresh! He asked the chef, "What's the name of this dish?"
As soon as the chef thought about it, his son came back with his life, which was a blessing for the whole family. He said smoothly, "Family photo!" The name of this dish fits the meaning of family reunion very well, and the whole family is very happy.
Since then, on holidays, people come and go, and the old couple asked the chef to make this "family photo". When the guests ate it, they all said it was delicious and sent people to learn from the chef. This is how the dish "family portrait" was handed down and later included in the restaurant's famous menu.

Gordon Chongyang
A long time ago, there was a man named Huan Jing in runan county. His parents are both married, and his wife and children are together. He guards a few acres of thin land and works hard. Although life is hard, you can get by with half a meal. Who knows, unfortunate things have come. There is a plague on both sides of the Ruhe River, and every household is sick. The light ones can't get up, and the heavy ones lose their lives. There are bodies everywhere, and no one is burying them. This year, Huan Jing's parents also died of illness.
When Huan Jing was a child, he heard an adult say: There is a plague demon living in Ruhe River, who travels around the world every year and carries the plague with him wherever he goes. After Huan Jing's illness, he decided to seek friends from his teachers and learn skills for the people, fight the epidemic and destroy insects. I heard that there lived a big fairy named Fei Changfang on the southeast mountain, so he packed his bags and set off for the mountain.
Huanjing enters the mountains, with mountains and peaks. I want to know where the immortals live. But he is not afraid of suffering, crossing mountains and rivers. He was walking forward that day when he suddenly saw a white dove standing in front of him, flying all the way to the scenic spot. Huan Jing doesn't know what it means, and also greets pigeons. Pigeons suddenly flew, flying two or three feet away, all the way to Huan scenic spot. When Huan Jing approached, the pigeon flew again. He understood, followed the pigeons, climbed several mountains and came to a place: among the pines and cypresses, there was an ancient temple with the words "Extraordinary Fairy Residence" written on the horizontal plaque at the gate. Pigeons left Beijing and circled over the temple yard. Huan Jing came to the door, and the black paint door was closed. He knelt at the door sincerely and didn't dare to move at all. He knelt and knelt for two days and two nights. On the third day, the door suddenly opened and an old man with white hair said shyly, "I am eager to kill the people." Come with me to the hospital. " Huan Jing knows that this is the big fairy of Fei Changfang. After several more worships, he followed the master in.
Fei Changfang gave Huan Jing a demon-reducing dragon sword. Huan Jing got up early and went to bed late, dressed in Dai Yue, and practiced day and night. Huan Jing was practicing sword that day, and Fei Changfang came up to him and said, "On September 9 this year, the plague god of Ruhe will come out again. You should hurry back to your hometown to kill pests for the people. I will send you a bag of dogwood leaves and a bottle of chrysanthemum wine to let the elders in your hometown climb the mountain to avoid disaster. " Xianweng said, "Just point your finger, and the crane on Cooper spreads its wings and lands in front of the dreamland." . Huanjing boarded the crane and flew to Runan.
Huan Jing returned to his hometown, called the villagers and told everyone what the NPC fairy said. On September 9, he led his wife, children and fellow villagers to a nearby mountain. Cornus officinalis leaves are divided into pieces, saying that they can be carried with you, so plague demons can't get close. Pour out the chrysanthemum wine again, and everyone took a sip, saying that drinking chrysanthemum wine would not catch the plague. After arranging the villagers, he returned home with his dragon sword to subdue the demon, sitting alone in the house, waiting for the arrival of the plague demon and struggling to subdue the demon.
After a while, I heard Ruhe roaring and the strange wind spinning. The god of plague came out of the water and walked ashore through the village. There is no one in thousands of families. Suddenly, he looked up and saw people gathering on the high mountain. It fled to the foot of the mountain and only felt the pungent smell of alcohol. The extraordinary fragrance of Cornus officinalis shattered his intestines, and he dared not climb near, so he turned and walked to the village. I saw a man sitting in the room, so I rushed forward with a roar. Huan Jing saw that athel Loren was coming, so he drew his sword to fight. After several rounds, Yao Wen couldn't beat him, but he started to run. Huan Jing threw the demon-reducing Qinglong sword out with a whoosh, only to see the sword shining with cold light chasing the demon text and stabbing it to the ground through his heart.
Since then, the people on both sides of the Ruhe River have never been harmed by the plague demon. The story of climbing the mountain on September 9 to avoid disaster and stabbing the demon to death with the sword of dreamland has been passed down from generation to generation, children and grandchildren until now.

The legend of the silkworm goddess girl
Once upon a time, there was a family with only father and daughter. The daughter is not only beautiful, but also smart.
On this day, my father had something to go far away, leaving his daughter and a white horse. This horse is very strong, running thousands of miles every day, as fast as the wind. More strangely, this horse is very familiar with human nature, and it can understand people's words. Everyone says this is a "god horse".
When the father went out, he told his daughter to feed and love the horse carefully, and he would come back soon. After my father left, this horse was the only one left at home to accompany my daughter.
Whenever she feels lonely, she talks to the horse. Although the horse can't talk, it will nod and wag its tail to show affection.
As the days passed, my father never came back. My daughter misses her father very much and is more worried about what will happen if her father has an affair.
One day, she said to the horse half seriously and half jokingly, "Ma, do you understand me?" If you can get my father back, I will marry you as my wife. "
Unexpectedly, as soon as the girl spoke, the horse ran away and disappeared.
It turned out that my father was sick in the distance and was worried about how to get back, but suddenly he found his horse running, which was very surprising. Father rode home because he was too worried about his daughter and didn't think much.
When I got home, I was very happy when my long-lost father and daughter got together. Father felt that the horse had made great contributions, so he specially added grass and carefully fed it. But to my father's surprise, there is a lot of good grass and forage here, but the horse won't eat a bite.
Whenever he sees his daughter coming in and out, the horse will not only sing by the neck, but also jump around and make a sound of joy or anger. The father secretly asked his daughter what was going on. So the daughter told her father what she said to the horse.
After listening to this, my father felt very uneasy. He thought for a moment and whispered to his daughter, "Remember, this matter must not be made public. What would it be like if people knew I married my daughter to a horse? Don't leave the house for a while, and don't go to see the horse. "
The next day, my father put a crossbow around the stable and shot the horse when it was unprepared. Then he peeled off the horse's skin and hung it on a big stone in the yard.
One day, my daughter and the girl friend next door were playing in the yard. When she saw Ma Pi sunbathing on a stone, she was very sad, especially when she thought of the day when her father left home ... she was very sad.
Thinking, she reached out and stroked the mane on the horse skin when the accident happened. The horse skin suddenly split and swept her away like a gust of wind. The female companion on the side was frightened and hurried to tell her father.
When the father arrived, the daughter and the horse skin basking in the stone had already disappeared without a trace.
It turned out that Shenma skin swept away the lovely girl and went straight to the southwest. In the far southwest, there is a place called Hu Da, which is a desolate wilderness and the mountains are covered with mulberry trees.
But when she got there, the girl in horse skin lost her original shape and became a silkworm with the shape of a horse's head and climbing on a tree. She only eats mulberry leaves. Later, she became the owner of this mulberry forest, and the emperor named her the silkworm god.
Faced with this kind of experience, the girl has unspeakable pain. She misses her hometown, her father and her companions day and night. Whenever this time, she will constantly spit out filaments from her mouth, with endless thoughts.
Every spring, you can see a beautiful young woman kneeling on the branches of mulberry trees, constantly spitting out white and bright filaments. People affectionately call her the silkworm god girl.
