The Origin of "Dare to Be a Strong Mountain" and "Wuzhishan"
A long time ago, Tian Yang, like other places, had no vegetation, no human beings and no living things, and the vast land was empty. But a paradise with living things has long existed. Seeing that there is no life on the earth, God has long planned to send people to the mortal world to breed human beings and create a world on the earth. Finally, one day, God decided to send Buluotuo and Mule to create a new world.
Buluotuo and Mumusicians were sent by God and set out on the first day of February. That day, Buluotuo was carrying a pair of big laundry baskets, with five children at one end and bedding and clothes at the other. With a hoe on his shoulder and a sickle in his hand, Mulejia stepped on two leaves picked in front of the emperor's palace and slowly floated down. ..... one day, two days. On day 19, Buluotuo and Mulejia floated over Tian Yang. At this time, the dark clouds suddenly changed, and the lightning and thunder that had never happened on the earth exploded deafening over the earth with the storm. In the thunder, Buluotuo's pole was broken. In an instant, two laundry baskets rushed to the ground. When Buluotuo and Mulejia saw that they were in a panic, they immediately threw down their broken poles, hoes and sickles and rushed at the children. But it's too late. In the blink of an eye, two laundry baskets landed in Guanna and Sanjin, which were ten miles apart. The laundry basket of bedding falls to the east, forming a "Dare to Strong Mountain". The hole-by-hole bedding gap later became a cave in the mountain.
The Buluotuo couple climbed the "Dare to Strong Mountain". I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find the child. They immediately rushed to the highest place in Shanxi and looked around, but the falling laundry list and five children were still missing. So he moved the stone away to form a platform, which was later called "Prince's Terrace". Gibraltar and his wife boarded the observation platform and looked south. They saw a big arc gap dug where the hoe sickle fell, and the rain in the sky gathered in the sewer after falling, forming the Youjiang River. Buluotuo and Mule musicians have no intention of visiting rivers and mountains, but just look up to the west. I saw five children crawling in Pingchuan ten miles away. Mother Le Jia shouted "child" excitedly when she saw it. As soon as the shouts fell, five children sat motionless on the ground, and a bag of cigarettes turned into five hills, which people called "Wuzi Mountain". Because "Zi" and "Zhi" are homonyms, later generations called it "Wuzhishan".
Since then, there have been "Dare to Strong Mountain" and "Wuzhishan" on Tianyang Land.
Mu Niang Yan He dares to be fair?
Mr. and Mrs. Buluotuo are new here. They just lost five children. Their bedding and clothes have turned into mountains. They have no intention of finding another place to stay. From the top of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, they settled in a cave facing south and began the mission of breeding human beings and creating a new world. This cave is called "Niangniangyan".
In other words, Niangniangyan is a good place for geomantic omen. Niangniang Rock faces south, and there is a flat land several feet square outside the cave. There are towering trees and flowers on both sides of the cave. Don't worry, there are all kinds of stalactites hanging upside down on the ceiling of the front hall in the cave, decorating the hall like a palace. There are a series of caves behind the main hall, which communicate with Tiantong Cave in the back hill. This cave is connected with the cave, the special structure connecting the north and the south, and the trees and flowers outside the cave, making Mother Niang Rock a good residence with warm winter and cool summer and pleasant seasons. Soon after Buluotuo and his mother Le Jia moved in, they gave birth to many children one after another. A few years later, they were in droves.
When the children grow up, the world created by Buluotuo becomes wider and wider, and he becomes busier and busier. So, he sent his children to every corner of the new world, so that they could reproduce in their respective territories and build their homes. Children are far away, but they can't forget the mother rock that raised them. So, every February 19, the children of Buluotuo and Mulejia, with their children and grandchildren, come back from all directions to celebrate the birthday of Buluotuo's grandfather and mother. Because there are too many children and grandchildren, the first one can go to Niangniangyan to offer birthday greetings to Buluotuo and Mule, and the later one will queue up at the foot of the mountain because of the long journey. By the time it was their turn to enter the mother rock, it was already the seventh, eighth and ninth day of March. At this time, people who are still waiting at the foot of the mountain can't stay. Because I was anxious to celebrate my birthday, I started to burn incense on the spot, and the incense was inserted from the foot of the mountain to the rock mouth of Niangniang, forming a long incense line. The descendants who just came out of Niangniangyan are very excited to see their ancestors. Although there are countless descendants, they are still so healthy and long-lived. They can't help but meet relatives who rarely meet each other from all walks of life and spread out in all directions of Ganzhuang Mountain. While improvising folk songs, men and women throw clothes at each other to celebrate. Over time, from the seventh day of March to the ninth day of March every year, descendants of Buluotuo and Mule musicians who come to pay their respects to their birthday will sing folk songs here for three days and three nights, forming a brave and strong song fair.
The story of Feng Dongyan.
Pneumatic rock is located on the mountainside where the rocky mountain meets the earth slope at the southern foot of Ganzhuang Mountain, and its upper part is a knife-like cliff. According to legend, this is the trace left by Buluotuo when he split stones and took fire from the mortal world. There is a cave under the cliff, but it is sealed. Here is a story.
It has been hundreds of years since Buluotuo and Mumusicians came to earth. For hundreds of years, they have given birth to countless children, and there are countless grandchildren. Buluotuo is old, and now he is a great-grandfather, with children and grandchildren all over the cottage tribe. He wants to go out and see what the world he created in Buluotuo has become and how his descendants live. Do they still recognize him as an ancestor? So, one day, Buluotuo turned into an old beggar with ragged clothes, long beard, long hair and dirty clothes, and came to a small village far from Ganzhuang Mountain. As soon as they entered the stockade, people met him, an old beggar who smelled bad. Some adults fled like a plague, while the little boys made fun of him. Only a pair of young cattle herders kindly invited him to dinner at home. The older boy mended Buluotuo's clothes and the younger one combed his hair to catch lice.
Buluotuo's heart cooled when he saw this situation. However, he did not believe that his descendants would have such an unfilial bastard. The next morning, he took a broken bowl to beg, only to see that those people still closed the door and wouldn't let him in; Some even discussed it quietly and killed him to eat. It was the young brothers who sincerely accepted him. He was disappointed and determined to punish these unfilial bastards. So, he told his little brothers that if there is heavy wind and rain these days, they must run to the nearest big tree, hold on to the roots and never run around. Say that finish and left.
A few days later, it was really windy and rainy. Following Buluotuo's instructions, the two cowherd brothers ran to the old tree and hugged the roots to avoid the wind and rain. Other people in the stockade, especially those with ulterior motives, were blown into the hole by the rainstorm, and the hole was blocked by the big stones behind. Later, the survivors in the stockade invited skilled craftsmen to dig holes to save people. They cut a piece of skin for three days and nights and failed to open the hole for three years. This is the story of Feng Dongyan.
The Origin of Human Beings —— The Myth of Mrojia and the Old Woman King
Among the Zhuang people, there is a myth that "Muluojia" made people, and its outline is:
According to legend, Mu Liujia is a goddess who created heaven and earth, human beings and everything. She took a deep breath and rose to the sky; When the sky leaks, cotton patches and becomes white clouds. The sky was created. She found that the sky was too small to cover, so she sewed up the edge of the ground with a needle and thread. Finally, when the thread was pulled, the ground shrank, so that the sky could cover it. However, the land is uneven, and the edge of the land is covered with wrinkles. The mountains are high and the rivers, lakes and seas are low. She has no husband. All she had to do was climb naked to the mountain and let the wind blow, but the baby was born under her arm. Seeing that the ground was so lonely, she created all kinds of creatures. Her genitals are big, like a big cave. When it is windy and rainy, all kinds of animals hide in it.
Because of the extreme importance of their own reproduction to primitive humans, the ancestors of Zhuang and Dong-speaking nations regarded Mrojia as the god of fertility and worshipped her as the virgin. With the development of society, Muluojia became the goddess of mother and daughter in charge of fertility and the king of flowers, and became the idol of married women seeking children. All ethnic groups in Zhuang and Dong languages have related myths and legends. For example, the Gelao people have the myth of "Wang Po", and its outline is:
The old woman is holding a huge flower mountain and is busy nursing the flowers on the mountain every day.
People are the flowers on Huashan Mountain in Wang Po. Whoever she gives the living soul of the flower will have a child. Honghua is a girl and Baihua is a boy. When the flowers grow luxuriantly and brightly on Powanghua Mountain, the children on the earth will grow up safely, not get sick and be healthy. If the peanuts on Huashan Mountain are infected with insects, the children will get sick and there will be disaster. The old woman will get rid of the bugs in the flowers and the children will get better. The old woman spilled flowers on Huashan Mountain, and the flower quilt got wet. When the child sleeps, he is sweating all over and his clothes are wet. When a person dies, the living soul returns to Huashan and becomes a flower again. Then the old woman gives it to others, and the person is reborn in another house.
Bubo and the myth of Jeb, the king of thunder fighting.
Fairy stories about Bubo are widely circulated in places where Zhuang people live in compact communities, with poems and articles, mainly praising Bubo's heroic and tenacious struggle against King Lei who caused drought in order to save mankind. Its outline is as follows:
King Lei came down to collect food, but Bubo didn't give it to him and teased him. Back in the sky, Ray told him to close the bronze doors to prevent a drop of water from falling to the ground. They discussed with Bubo, and Bubo decided to take everyone to the sky and open the copper gate to release water by himself. This year, although there was no rain or dew in King Lei, it was a good year. Knowing that Bubo was taking people to heaven to release water, King Lei raised the sky, leaving only the sun and moon trees on Bashi Mountain as ladders and closing the bronze doors, causing a great drought on earth. So Bubo took people to the seaside to borrow water from King Lei's brother, the Dragon King, who refused to borrow it. Bubo pulled out the beard of the Dragon King, and the Dragon King fled to the deep sea. Bubo was very angry. He went to Kiki, found the Sun Moon Tree, and went to King Lei. He put the sword around his neck and told him to let the water go. King Lei pleaded, "Let me go and beg for rain for you in three days." Buber believed it and returned to the ground. Who knows it didn't rain after three days.
Bubo knew that King Lei had really changed his mind, so he told his family to go to the river to fish for bean sunflower and spread it on the roof. He also cut down the gauze tree and peeled it to tie the sun shed of the wooden building. Then he asked his children to wait under the shed with a pole, and his wife waited under the eaves with a fishing net and a chicken cover.
Suddenly, King Lei got carried away, rushed down, slipped from the roof to the shed platform, slipped down from the shed platform and fell to the ground. Buber's cover fell from the ground like two bells, firmly covering King Lei. King Lei will never escape. Bob locked King Ray in the granary. King Lei tricked Fu Yi's brother and sister into sending water to drink. King Lei, who drank the water, was full of energy, broke through the granary and ran to heaven.
King Lei decided to Tianhe, and all the rivers fell down. The Dragon King wanted to avenge the plucking of whiskers, and he also released seawater to drive away the shrimps, soldiers and crabs, adding fuel to the fire, so that the water rose over the hill and flooded under the canopy. King Lei thought that everyone in the world was dead and Bubo must be dead, so he opened the Tianmen and looked down. Who knows, Bubo's umbrella boat is approaching Tianmen, only to see Bubo holding his chest and dancing his sword, angrily coming towards King Lei. King Lei's eyes also burst into angry flames, and he immediately rushed down to Bubofei with an axe. Bubo was quick of eye and load, kicked it away, and the umbrella boat slipped from the foot of King Lei, then turned around and cut off the foot of King Lei with a sword. King Lei hurried back to Tianmen, fearing that Bubo's umbrella boat would go straight into Tianmen with the waves, and repeatedly shouted, "Back water, back water!"
Lei Bing Lei will know the power of Bubo and retreat quickly; The dragon king also knew that Bubo was not easy to provoke and was busy withdrawing water. The water receded quickly and violently. Buber's umbrella boat fell apart. Buber, a red heart, went into the ceiling and inlaid it. This is the morning star we see now.
