Legend of Sanniangzi

In Sanniang Village, Tangxiang Town, Jiangdu County, there is a thousand-year-old ancient well named "Sanniang Well".

There is a red granite well site with white spots at the wellhead, and there is a round dark red granite base with a diameter of about 1 m under the well site. The well depth is 10 meter, and the well water is clear. The inner wall of the well is made of small green bricks, covered with light green moss, and the water quality is sweet. People in Sanniang Village have been drinking her for generations, and they live and work in peace and contentment here. To the south of the well is a clear river, and there are dozens of stone tablets erected in the past dynasties at the lower threshold of the well. It's a pity that the river has long been filled up and the stone tablet was dug away in the era of "breaking the capitalism".

There are many mysteries in Sanniang Well: First, there are 29 semi-furrow marks on the inside of the well site, of which 29 are very clear, and the other is only half of other furrow marks; Second, the 3.5 cm wide iron hoop on the well pad base is used to prevent the well pad base from cracking. It is wet almost every day, but it is shiny black and never rusts. Why?

According to legend, this is closely related to the legendary story of Liu Zhiyuan after Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty. It is said that there is a smart and beautiful woman named San Niang in this village, who gets along with the people day and night, and everyone likes her very much. When Liu Zhiyuan chose a concubine, she was elected to the palace, but she still liked living a poor peasant life and wanted to live in harmony with the villagers. She has been depressed since she entered the palace. Liu Zhiyuan likes her simplicity and kindness and dotes on her, but Sanniang tells him that she still likes country life and hopes that the emperor will still allow her to return to the country and live with her neighbors. Liu Zhiyuan had no choice but to reluctantly send Sanniang back to her hometown.

It turns out that the drought here is serious and the river is dirty. In order to benefit the villagers, after Sanniang returned to the village, she asked someone to drill a well. At first, she invited everyone to fetch water. Everyone thought she was a royal mother and dared not go near her. Later, she saw that San Niang was kind-hearted and cleaned the well platform for the masses every morning. In winter, the well platform was frozen, so she got up early and was frozen, chipping ice and waiting for the villagers to get water from the well. Sanniang respects the old and loves the young, cherishes the poor and pities the poor. Without the majesty of the imperial mother, she has the kindness of a village woman, and everyone still gets along with her. There are 29 families in this village, all of them are husband and wife, and all of them are full of children. Sanniang is the only one. Although Sanniang treated them like she did at the beginning, everyone was still in awe of her. Moreover, when she came to fetch water, she also drew water according to their accustomed posture, so there were 29 deep ditches around her. No one stood where Sanniang drew water. She was alone, and she ate little water, so the natural scars were shallow.

One day, when everyone came to fetch water, they found that the mine field was cracked, so they went to tell Sanniang that Sanniang was dead and looked very calm. Legend has it that after Li Sanniang's death, people can still often see Li See Sanniang's footprints by the well in front of her house on foggy mornings. In order to commemorate her, later generations called this well "Sanniang Well". The original village was also called Sanniang Village. Inoue's hoop is said to have been specially punched by Liu Zhiyuan after he learned the news of San Niang's death. This hoop is solid, or a love for the environment, or a hope of people. Anyway, the iron hoop has not been changed or rusted.

There is a "Huangling Pier" on the ground about one mile northeast of "Sanniang Well". According to legend, Liu Zhiyuan married many concubines in his life, but only with Sanniang can he feel comfort, so he missed his hardworking and simple wife Li Sanniang very much in his later years, and his will was buried here. There is also a small lake in the southwest of Huangling Wharf, which is called "White Lake" by local people. In the middle of the lake, there is a mound above the water, called Baimate. Legend has it that people put a mat when they worship Liu Zhiyuan. It is also said that not only the emperor but also Li Sanniang was buried in the tomb pier. Everyone worshipped the emperor from the beginning, and worshipping San Niang was the purpose. Over the years, no matter how much it rains or how many lakes there are, the mat will not be flooded. Everyone says that Huang Niang is thinking of the people. She was afraid that everyone would get wet when they came to see her, so the mat always came out of the water, so the crops on the mat grew better than anywhere else.

The legend of centipede well

Among the elderly in Beijing, there are many bitter wells and few sweet wells. Therefore, it is difficult for people to drink a mouthful of sweet water. The story of "centipede well" is from

This place is very legendary. The well water in Beijing has turned into bitter water since Gao Liang drove the water away. In addition to the emperor's old son and his family, a waterwheel was sent to Yuquan Mountain every day to transport sweet water (the waterwheel of the Qing Palace was not cancelled until the end of the Qing Dynasty). ), big officials and small officials, ordinary people can only drink bitter water.

Teahouses that sell tea can only make tea with bitter water, so business is also very bad. On this day, after a teahouse opened, no one came to drink tea. The shopkeeper dozed off behind the desk. Just then, suddenly a tea drinker came: "Hey! Manned, have you boiled? " The shopkeeper opened his eyes and saw an old man in rags coming in from the outside. Someone came to drink tea, but he was still unhappy. He quickly said, "Yes, there is a kettle. Do you want to drink tea? " "Make a pot." The shopkeeper promised, took the teapot, tea bowls and tea leaves, rinsed the pots and bowls and made tea for the old man. The old man poured a bowl of tea, which really looked like a bowl of red soup. The old man shook his head, took a sip and put it down: "Hey, shopkeeper, how is this tea bitter?" The shopkeeper said, "Hey! There is no sweet water in Beijing now. Ask the Dragon Palace to take it away. Everyone is worried about this! " The old man smiled and said, "If there is sweet water, do you still make tea with bitter water?" "Who can make tea with bitter water when there is sweet water?" The old man nodded and poured out a centipede with a golden head, a golden beard, golden eyes, eighteen legs, more than three inches long. I saw the old man talking to the golden-headed centipede in a low voice, as if discussing something. See the centipede shake its head first, then nod, and finally listen to the old man say loudly: "Well, you can go!" " The centipede arched its waist, took off, flew into the sky and disappeared. Shopkeepers were stunned and wondered what the old man was playing. The old man said nothing, gave the tea money and left. Two days later, the shopkeeper in the teahouse heard that a stream of sweet water had been drilled on the ground near the east of the imperial city, and now it has been used as a well (this is the well of the big sweet water well alley in Wangfujing Street) (this well is the well in the Ten Wangfus in the Ming Dynasty, so the street is also called Wangfujing Street. In the Qing dynasty, this well sold sweet water, and the buyers were all high-ranking families. According to the old man, one ingot of water can be sold every day. ), manned except happy, also didn't expect anything else. Three days later, the shopkeeper in the teahouse heard that two strands of sweet water were drilled from the ground less than a mile outside Andingmen. Now, two wells (Shanglong and Xialongjing in Shanglong Courtyard) have been treated. Most of them supply sweet water to middle-class families and stop selling water during the Anti-Japanese War. ) The shopkeeper didn't expect anything but happiness. A few days later, the shopkeeper in the teahouse heard that 18 villages in Fengtai, on the left side of each village temple, drilled a stream of sweet water from the ground, and now 18 wells have been treated. After the Republic of China, four new villages were added. Now that the district has been changed, many newly added villages and villages may not all be on the left side of the temple. ), manned besides happy, he still has some doubts. He thought: When Liu Bowen built the Eight Arms City in Beijing, there was no sweet well outside the city. Now there are so many sweet wells one after another, and he can't figure out why.

Later, the owner of the teahouse told the story of the old man playing with centipedes when the people who drank sweet water to make tea talked about it. Everyone feels a little strange and can't figure out why. I don't know how many years later, the "smart" man said, "This is a centipede well. Shanglong and Xia Long are centipede whiskers, Daxiangjing is centipede head, and the well in Fengtai 18th Village is centipede foot. What is this not a centipede well? " This story is so legendary.

Buyi legend: the legend of leech well

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a stockade named Bai Na under Pogai (Buyi language, the name of the mountain). There is a beautiful girl named Nano in the stockade. Nano is not only beautiful, but also exquisite in craftsmanship. All the boys in the 48 th village of Buyishan came to see her (fall in love). She said a lot of sweet words and sang a lot of beautiful songs, and everyone wanted to pick her up. However, Nano doesn't like these boys because they all think that Bai Na Village is poor and Bai Na has no water or rivers.

In fact, there have been no rivers and wells in Bai Na village since ancient times. Farming depends entirely on looking up at the sky and raining. In case of drought, the draft in the village has to go over mountains and mountains to pick it far away, and only one load can be picked a day.

One day, before dawn, I went over the mountains to fetch water, and the sun was about to set, so I picked the water back to my feet. Because the weather was hot, tired and hungry, I accidentally slipped and spilled a car full of water, and I didn't know how much sweat I had received. Nano cried sadly, cried, cried! Tears have accumulated into a halo. When the sun hung on the top of the Western Hills, melodious songs came from the mountain road, and then a handsome young man came to fetch water while singing. The young man picked up Nano and saw Nano crying sadly. He asked, "Cousin, it's getting dark. Why don't you go home?" Crying is so sad. "

Nano told the young people what had happened to him, and the young people were very sympathetic. He said, "Cousin, stop crying and fetch me water." Nano smiled, thanked the young man, stirred up the water and left. Just now, Nano cried like a crybaby. The young man paid no attention to her appearance. Now she smiles. The young man saw clearly and was fascinated by her beauty. So he boldly said to her, "Cousin, marry me. I will fetch water and chop wood for you every day. "

After listening to the young man's words, Nano was so angry that he wanted to scold him, but when he remembered that he had shed a lot of sweat and gave himself the water he was carrying, he held back. Seeing that he was so serious and wanted to provoke him deliberately, he said, "Cousin, I can marry you, but quite a few people in my family (Buyi people, that is, parents) said that whoever wants to marry me must first agree to three conditions." The young man quickly asked, "What are the three conditions?" Nano said slowly, "First, you can't be too poor." Hearing this, the young man clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, I am a poor family myself. How can I be suspicious? " Tell me the second one. ""Second, come to help my family every New Year's Eve morning. " "Yes, yes, I have plenty of strength." "Three, three is ..." Nano shut up and deliberately stopped. " Do you want an engagement wine made of pig's legs, old mother's money, six buckets and six glutinous rice? "

Nano shook his head and said, "No, it is to dig a well that flows all the year round near that Baizhai, so that water can flow into this Datian dam in front of that Baizhai." The young man was scared to death.

"You think about it! If you can, please invite the matchmaker to your door. If you can't do it, you must hurry as soon as possible. " Nano said, carrying water to the village.

The young man stayed there, thinking, "It's too difficult to fetch water in Bai Na Village. If you can make up your mind to dig a tunnel at the foot of the slope for three, five, ten or eight years, and dig all the way to the Dragon Palace, wouldn't it be a good thing to let the water drop out of the Dragon Palace and flow into this dam in Bai Na Village? " So he gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.

Since then, the young man has been carrying a hoe and holding gastrodia elata every day, drilling at the foot of the slope to dig! Dig! It took seven days to dig a small mouth more than five feet deep, and it will take several years and generations to dig into the Dragon Palace!

However, the young man is not discouraged and still insists on digging every day.

One day, while he was working hard, an old man with white hair and silver beard came to the front of the mountain. He was surprised to see that the young man was carefully digging a hole instead of sand, so he stepped forward and asked, "Young man, are you crazy?" Why not sand? "

The young man told the old grandfather what happened and what he thought. Hearing this, the old grandfather was moved by the spirit of the young people. He shook his cane and turned it into a pickaxe. He molded a bowl of water with him and handed it to the young man. Then he whispered the spell to the young man. He said loudly, "You should dig it before the cock crows one night, or it will be washed away by the flood." With that, he took a ball out of his wallet and handed it to the young man, saying, "When you are in trouble, throw this ball into the air." The young man answered "yes" in the blink of an eye, and the grandfather saw it. The young man looked at what was in grandpa's hand.

The young man came back and told the origin of the nano thing. Nano was very happy and promised to have a try with the young man at night. Unexpectedly, what Nano and the young man said was heard by a young man named Decai, a neighbor, who felt funny. He wanted to find out, so he quietly hid near the bunker in advance to observe.

Late at night, the young man and Nano went to the bunker and stood two steps to the left according to grandpa's instructions. At three o'clock, the young man held a bowl of clear water in his left hand, raised a pickaxe in his right hand, closed his eyes slightly and said, "The sky is big, and the earth is big. Send me a pickaxe in the sky, a bowl of water in the ground, and spray clean water on the gravel. One carries gold and the other carries water. It's too urgent for the old gentleman. " After saying the spell, he sprayed the water in the bowl on the sand. At the same time, the right hand picked up a pickaxe and dug it down. Huang Cancan's gold immediately appeared in the gravel. When the second pickaxe was dug down, the water flowed out along the pickaxe print. At this time, people hiding behind the big stones only saw nanoparticles, and the sandstone they dug out turned into gold. When the young man was about to dig the third pick, he suddenly got greedy and clucked like a rooster.

Young people and nano are afraid of being washed away by the flood as soon as they hear the cock crow. They put down the pickaxe and left. When he looked back, they saw a clear stream flowing out of the sand and flowing into the big dam in front of Bai Na village. At this time, they found that it was not yet dawn, so they went back and picked up pickaxes to dig the well again, trying to make the water in the well emit a lot of anger, but no matter how they dug, they could only save this little water. They looked at this small stream of water and couldn't save the field. What shall we do? They thought and thought, and suddenly they thought of the stuff that grandpa gave them, so the young people took it out and threw it into the air. Suddenly, a dark cloud came and drove them away. They went to be with grandpa.

After the young man and nano drove away the dark clouds, they were busy running out from under the big stone. Because he stayed under the big stone all night, he was too thirsty. Arriving at the wellhead, he hurried to drink water without washing his hands. Because he stayed behind the big stone for a long time, many bugs crawled on his hand. When he drinks water, the worms on his hands crawl into the water and become many leeches. I don't care about this. I drank a few mouthfuls of water, even the leech was drunk in my stomach, and then I was killed by the leech in my stomach.

Since then, there has been a well at the foot of the slope cover. There are leeches in the well all the year round. Therefore, people call this well a leech well. About three feet to the right of the leech well, there is still a bunker dug by a young man earlier with a hoe.

The legend of Baima landscape well

There is a well on Baima Mountain. People say women can't watch. If they see it, the well will dry up. This custom comes from such a legend:

A long time ago, a man dug a well. When he dug this well, he said to a woman, "Every day after I go down the well, you should wake me up when the chicken crows." The woman asked him why he was asked to get up when the rooster crowed, but not at other times. The digger said, "Don't ask why, just do as I say."

One day, the digger went down to dig a well as usual. The woman is curious to see what will happen if she doesn't call him on time. So, before the cock crows, the digger is called up.

As soon as the digger came up, he knew that the chicken had not crowed and said, "Oh, no, this well can't be drilled any more."

Fortunately, the progress of the well digger is relatively fast, and it can slowly overflow when it reaches the water surface. It's just that there is very little water, which is often not enough for the temple to eat.

Although there is water in this well, there is a strange phenomenon. It is said that when women watch, the water will slowly dry up.
