A classic ancient folk story is very short.
During the Song Dynasty, 200,000 Liao soldiers from Qidan invaded the territory and the border was tight. At that time, Bai Yingyang was in Suicheng. Suicheng is now Suicheng Village, 20 miles west of Xu Shui County. The waterfall river is in the north, and the ancient Great Wall faces each other across the river.
The city is small and the troops are insufficient. There are only 3000 people guarding the city. Liao soldiers came quickly, but suddenly Enemy at the Gates surrounded the city and attacked it several times in a row, each time more violently. However, the defenders and ordinary people in Suicheng did not seem to be as anxious as usual. Liu Lang was surprised. He asked the people, "Aren't Liao soldiers afraid to attack the city like this?" The common people replied, "With General Yang guarding here, Liao soldiers are invincible!"
When Yang Liulang heard that people trusted him so much, he felt more responsible. So he called the young people of the whole city together, gave them swords and halberds, and mobilized them to cooperate with the army to defend the city. The army and the people are gearing up to fight to the death with the city.
It was October, and the weather suddenly turned cold. Seeing this, Liu Lang Yang used his quick wits to make the soldiers and civilians draw water to fill the city. Water is poured on the city wall once at night, and a layer of ice forms immediately. Watered all night and frozen all night. The next morning, wow, the high wall was white and bright, and it became a cold Great Wall, which was firm and slippery and could not be climbed. Liao soldiers rushed to the city gate and came to the city, pushing and sliding, scraping and sliding, and some managed to climb halfway up the mountain, sliding and falling. Lying on the city, Song Jun took the opportunity to roll Mu Shile with a thousand arrows, killing and injuring countless Liao soldiers. Liao soldiers could not attack the city for a few days, so they had to order a retreat. Yang Liulang took the opportunity to open the gate wide and led the army to kill it, only to find that Liao soldiers fled in panic. In this battle, thousands of Liao soldiers and horses were captured alive and a large number of weapons were seized.
Because of this war, Yang Liulang was promoted by Song Zhenzong, from the governor of Baozhou (now Baoding, Hebei Province) to Zhou Mo (now Qiu County, Hebei Province). Qidan invaded the frontier, burning and looting all the way, and the people were miserable. Yang led his troops to repel more than 100 attacks by Liao soldiers, making the border pass peaceful for a while and deeply loved by the people.
At the age of 57, Yang Liulang died in Yanzhou. Yang, the eldest son of the emperor, accompanied by an envoy (in the play, Yang's son is called Zongbao and Zongbao's son is called Zongbao), escorted Lingshu back to his hometown of Taiyuan. Zhengzhou people went out of the city, knelt around the hearse and cried bitterly, demanding that Liulang be buried in Zhangzhou and guard the border with him in the spirit of heaven. Yang and the emperor's emissaries felt that people were uneasy, so they asked stable boy to report She Taijun's ruling. She Jun proposed to make another coffin, put Liulang's clothes and nod into it, and build Liulang's tomb in the north of Yanzhou to comfort the local people. Since then, the tomb of Liulang has been built in Yanzhou, becoming a memorial place for people to pay homage to national heroes. The civilian gets off the sedan chair here, and the military attache gets off the horse here. Every festival, the people will worship.
The second classic ancient folk story is very short.
In ancient times, people were often hurt by floods. When Emperor Yao was in power, there was another terrible flood: houses were washed down all over Wang Yang, fields were flooded and dead people piled up; People are old and yellow, wandering and fleeing everywhere. Yao was worried when he saw the people suffering so much, so he sent someone to control the flood. The gun led everyone to control the water, using the method of blocking, which bank rushed to which bank to fill which one, and the result was blocked. While blocking, it washed away, wasting people and money for 9 years and achieving nothing.
After Yao, Shun became the leader of the tribe. Seeing that there was no improvement in Gun's water control, which delayed the great event, he ordered Gun to be executed and ordered Gun's son Yu to control the water. I know that water control is of great importance, and if it is not cured, I will lose my life. However, seeing the flood raging and the people suffering, Yu bravely accepted this important task.
Yu conscientiously summed up the lessons of his father's failure and thought that blocking was not feasible, so he boldly conceived a water control plan that ran counter to his father-dredging the river, letting it flow and diverting water away.
After the plan was made, Yu decided to travel all over the world, check the terrain, find out the river course and divert water to the downstream. He led a large number of assistants to travel around nine flood-stricken States, measuring the height of the terrain and erecting wooden stakes as markers respectively. At that time, most of the places were deserted, and the rest lived in the wind, often braving strong winds and heavy rains and running in harsh environments.
Then, according to the data obtained from the investigation, we began to control water from the most flooded areas. Yu and others used simple tools such as stone axes and knives to dig rivers and repair dikes. His hands are covered with calluses, his feet are covered with mats, and his face is often unkempt. Due to years of soaking in water, his toenails fell off, which made people cry.
I didn't get married until I was 30. Later, he married a girl named Nv Jiao. Just four days after his marriage, he said goodbye to his new wife and was busy managing water.
Dayu is in charge of water control in 13, and he didn't bother to take a look at his door three times. Passing by the door for the first time, he heard his newborn son crying and his wife moaning because of the pain of childbirth. His assistant suggested that he go in and have a look. I also wanted to go in and have a look, but I didn't go in because I was in a hurry and was afraid of delaying my work. When he passed the house for the second time, Yu's son was already able to call his father. The little guy called his father hard in his mother's arms, and I just waved to his wife and children affectionately and passed. The third time, when I passed home, my son was already in his teens. He ran to pull his father home. I stroked my son's head and asked him to tell his mother to reunite after the water was cured, and then left in a hurry.
13 years later, Yu went through difficulties and obstacles, dug ditches and repaired canals, finally overcame the flood disaster, promoted the development of agriculture, and made people live and work in peace and contentment. Because of his meritorious service in water control, Yu was made the heir to the throne by Shun, and became the first monarch of Xia Dynasty.
After Dayu became the leader of the tribal alliance, he still didn't want to have fun. He took the trouble to visit various places and did many useful things for the people.
Three classic ancient folk stories are very short.
In ancient times, Fuyang native Dong sailed across the Qiantang River. When the ship reached the middle of the river, it suddenly found a three-foot reed floating in the river. There is an ant crawling around on the reed, constantly crawling from one end to the other, and it is about to fall into the river and drown.
Dong is a kind-hearted man. He let the boat near the reed, trying to pick it up with ants. The people on board objected, "This is a poisonous insect with thorns. If you dare to take the boat, we will trample it to death! " Dong had no choice but to tie the reeds with ropes, tie them to the ship's rail and drag the ants ashore. The ants had a narrow escape, climbed onto the land and ran away quickly.
That night, Dong had a dream that hundreds of people dressed in black came to see him. A man in black, led by him, saluted and thanked him and said, "I am the ant king." I accidentally fell into the river today. Fortunately, you saved my life. If you need anything in the future, please let me know and I will try my best to help you. "
When Dong woke up, he thought the dream was ridiculous and ignored it.
A few years later, he offended the government by defending rights everywhere and was put in prison. There is no way to complain, and he can't get away. In desperation, he remembered the absurd dream and thought it might be a way to try. He found some ants from the prison and said to them, "I'm Dong from Fuyang. I'm in prison. Tell your king to find a way to save me! " "
The ants froze for a while, and then crawled away in a hurry.
However, nothing happened for the next three days. Dong is a little desperate, and even feels too bored to talk to ants stupidly.
Three days later, in the middle of the night, it rained cats and dogs and thunder rumbled. Dong dreamed of the black ant king in his sleep. The ant king shouted, "Get up! Get up! " Dong woke with a start and looked around. Suddenly, the wall in the corner of the cell collapsed with a crash, and thousands of ants climbed out of the hole. Dong knows that this is the escape route that the ant king leads the ants to eat. He bowed gratefully to the ants and escaped from the prison on a thunderstorm night.
Later, Dong always warned his descendants that to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, we should start from little things, not small things.
The four classic ancient folk stories are very short.
Legend has it that the hometown of the Dai nationality is beautiful and rich, and the people have plenty of food and clothing. Later, a fire demon came, bullying and doing evil all day, turning the Dai family into a hot and dry land without food. The people hate the devil of fire and do everything possible to destroy it.
Fire demons have robbed seven beautiful young Dai girls in succession. One of the youngest girls is Yi Xiang (also known as Nan Zongbu). She cheated the fire devil into drinking with him one day in June in the Dai calendar.
When the fire demon was drunk, Shannon deliberately touted the fire demon's ability and said, "You are not afraid of anything. It's amazing. I wish the king a long life! " The fire demon got drunk and lost control. He blurted out, "I'm not afraid of anything except one thing: I'm afraid my own hair will strangle my neck."
Luzhou took advantage of the fact that the fire demon was drunk and asleep, and took the opportunity to pull out a hair from the fire demon's hair and pull the fire demon's head down. Just as Shannon was pleasantly surprised, the devil rolled there like a fireball and burned there.
Shannon shouted, and six sisters rushed over. Too many cooks bring trouble. Strange to say, the fire went out as soon as the devil left the ground; As soon as I touched the ground, the fire started again
So Seven Sisters had to take turns hugging the devil to prevent him from falling to the ground. The devil is hot, so everyone can only keep pouring water to cool down. They held each other for a year, and it was not until seven years later that the devil died.
Seven Sisters is harmful to people. Since then, in order to commemorate their contributions, the Dai people have held a water-splashing festival every June to celebrate the victory of beat the devil. Young people set off firecrackers, race dragon boats and sing and dance for three or four days.
This folklore reflects the human desire to overcome drought and pray for a bumper harvest.
Brief introduction of five classic ancient folk stories
In the Zhou Dynasty in ancient China, there was a son of heaven named Zhou Muwang, who especially liked to have fun and cruise.
At that time, from a distant country in the west, there came a man who was very good at juggling. He was called "Hua Ren". This is very talented. He jumped into the fire without hurting his hair. He will jump into the sky and stand in the clouds. He can move a city from the east to the west, and he can easily walk through the wall. King Mu regarded him as a god, obedient and meticulous to him.
One day, Hua invited him to visit him, pulled his sleeve, rose in the air, entered the clouds for a long time, and entered the palace where Hua lived. This shows that King Mu is really an eye-opener. The palaces here are resplendent and magnificent, inlaid with pearls and jewels everywhere. The hospitality King Mu received here, no matter what he saw in his eyes, heard in his ears or tasted in his mouth, is by no means human nature. Later, Hua Ren invited Mu Wang to another place and saw all kinds of beautiful shadows and dazzling colors showing off his eyes. I heard all kinds of sweet music again, which shocked my soul and intoxicated me. King Mu was disturbed by what he saw and heard, so he dared not stay long and asked someone to take him back. King Mu was gently pushed by his hand, and he fell from mid-air and woke up suddenly. Oh, it turns out that Mu Wang is still sitting in the temple, controlling everything as usual. King Mu was surprised and asked the people around him: Where did you go just now? People around me said, "I didn't go anywhere, but I was confused." At this time, the chemical man sitting next to him said, "I just went wandering with the king." You don't need to move your body at all! "This time, Mu Wang tasted the benefits of fugue, and he couldn't help feeling excited. He thinks fugue is so interesting, and the real play is more interesting! As a result, King Mu has no state affairs in his heart and doesn't care about the people. He is bent on driving his eight horses around the world.
Speaking of eight horses in Mu Wang, this is really an extraordinary story. The domesticated wild horse that the famous groom got from Kuafu was dedicated to King Mu. These wild horses are descendants of horses scattered in Kuafu Mountain after Mu Wang's grandfather settled in the world, and still retain the heroic spirit of their ancestors in the wilderness. Moreover, Zhao Fu can not only drive horses, but also raise horses. These eight good horses are fed by him. Some of them can run without practicing soil, some are faster than birds, some can travel thousands of miles at night, and some have wings on their backs ... It's amazing. Zhao Fu gave these eight horses to Queen Mu, and King Mu kept them near Longchuan on the East Island. There is a kind of grass called "Gracilaria lemaneiformis", and people say that "a Gracilaria lemaneiformis becomes a pony." After those horses were eaten, it was even more amazing, a Chinese odyssey.
Zhou Muwang set out to travel around the world. He asked Zhao Fu to drive him a carriage drawn by eight fine horses, took a large group of followers, chose a good day and set off. From north to west, he met Hebo, the water god, in Yangshan. I saw a peaceful and gentle platform in Hugh Mountain. Visited the Huangdi Palace in Kunlun Mountain; Accepted the beauty offered by the Chiwu people of the Chiwu nationality; In Heishui, he was rewarded by a hospitable long-arm China man ... Finally, he went to the empty mountain, the west pole of the earth, and met his usual longing for the Queen Mother of the West.
Jiazi was a good day, so Zhou Muwang brought white laurel, jet and some colors to the Queen Mother of the West. The next day was ugly and auspicious. King Mu hosted a banquet in Yaochi, the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West was so happy that she sang a song without musical instruments before the party.
After the banquet, King Mu drove to the top of Kong Yi and asked someone to set up a big stone tablet on the mountain, which simply wrote the story of meeting the Queen Mother of the West. There are also several big characters engraved on his forehead, which are called "Mountain of the Queen Mother of the West". Several locust trees were planted on both sides of the stone tablet, and Mu Wang planted one himself as a souvenir of friendship with the Queen Mother of the West. On the occasion of parting, the Queen Mother of the West also wrote a poem sadly to express her farewell and expectation for Zhou Muwang.
After that, everyone took good care of each other and reluctantly separated. Zhou Muwang returned to China directly from Kaner Mountain.
Zhou Muwang traveled around the world, his eyes were wide open and his mind was comfortable. The nutritional treasures donated by various countries made him lead an absurd life, but he didn't die until he was 105. This is quite unexpected.
