Shangyu folk stories

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a metropolis in Tu Hai (north of Linhai) in the north of Shangyu. Economic prosperity. A large population. As a result of economic prosperity, people covet enjoyment and corrupt folk customs.

The heaven was very angry after learning about it, and decided to destroy this place, so it sent a messenger from heaven to visit here privately to verify the situation. One day, he became an old man with white hair, selling vegetable oil at the East Gate. He also said that he bought it for free. As long as you have a container filled with oil, you can get it for free. So the whole city made a sensation, and greedy people emptied rice tanks, water tanks and even dung tanks and lined up to get free oil. The old man walked over with oil, and that kind of smile was strange.

At that time, there lived a mother and son in the west of the city. They were down and out. Their father died young, and they lived alone. Mother has been ill at home for a long time. This house has been out of power for several days. Mother finally borrowed a copper coin from the brother-in-law next door and bought some oil for her 7-year-old son in the market. And warned him that a penny can only buy 1 tablespoon of oil, neither more nor less.

The 7-year-old boy came to the market just when the old man was selling oil, so he lined up. When he came to buy oil, the old man gave him a big jar, but the boy said to the old man, mom said that one penny can only buy one spoonful of oil, and I can't ask for any more. He only asked for a spoonful of oil and paid a penny. The old man was suddenly shocked, thinking that this place was corrupt, and the people just wanted to enjoy their own private interests, but they never thought that there were such poor mothers and children who were unmoved by money. I feel so good that I can't let my mother and son die. I took the boy aside and whispered in detail, I think you are right, son. Let me tell you something. Every morning, you look into the mouths of two stone lions at the entrance of Dongcheng. If they have blood, you can run for your life with your mother and go to the south!

When the teenager came home, he felt very mysterious. Every morning, he is put outside the city gate by a stone lion to have a look. After many times, it aroused the curiosity of the uncle who put a meat stall at the gate of the city. One morning, the child mysteriously asked why he came to see the lion's mouth. After all, the poor children were honest and told the butcher what the old man said in detail. The butcher smiled and decided to fool the child (this shows the nature of the butcher).

The pig butcher usually gets up early, and when it is still light after killing the pig, he wipes his bloody hand into the lion's mouth. As usual, the teenager came to see the lion's mouth. When he saw it, he was shocked! ! ! ! ! ! Run home at once and say to his mother, let's act quickly and run for our lives. The mother didn't want to go, and the child told her what had happened, and the mother reluctantly agreed to go.

Just after my mother fled south from the city gate, the flood at sea really came, 10 meters high (now we call it a tsunami). Not long after the mother and son escaped, the tsunami flooded the whole city and chased it to the south. Because his mother was ill, the seven-year-old boy fled south behind his back. Running for their lives before the tsunami, the two are in danger. Because the child is really small, one stumbled on the ground and saw that the mother and son were about to be flooded. A miracle happened. The flood stopped behind the mother and son and stood there like a wall of water. The water soon receded.

Mother and son were scared silly by what they saw, so they stopped running and couldn't run any more. So they lived in this place, built several straw houses, planted some watermelons and lived a life. Later, some people thought this place was auspicious and protected by God, and they came to settle down one after another. Because the flood and tsunami stood there like a water wall at that time, later generations regarded this place as "Li Hai" and later evolved into "Li Hai". "Lihai Institute" and so on. This is the origin of Li Hai, an important town in Yubei. Because it is a treasure trove of geomantic omen and protected by gods, the ancient town of Lihai has always been a place of economic prosperity and cultural gathering.

The story took place in Zhejiang during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was closely related to Hangzhou. Legend has it that there was a girl named Zhu Yingtai in Zhujiazhuang, Shangyu, Zhejiang Province, nicknamed Jiumei. She is bent on studying in Hangzhou. Her father, Zhu, could not cope with her daughter's request, and agreed that Yingtai women disguised as men, accompanied by a maid, came to Caoqiaomen (now Wangjiangmen) in Hangzhou. She met Liang Shanbo, a young scholar from Huiji (now Shaoxing) who came to Hangzhou to study, and Liang Zhu, a young scholar. They had a heart-to-heart talk and got married on the spot.

They came to Hangzhou and studied at Song Wan Academy in Wansongling. After three years of classmates, Shanbo never knew Yingtai was a woman. Later, Yingtai received a letter from home, urging her to hurry back. Yingtai loves Shanbo, but it is inconvenient to say so, so she has to give the white jade fan to Shanbo as a token of love. At other times, Shanbo saw him off. On the way, Yingtai hinted her love to Shanbo 18, but the honest Liang Shanbo never realized it. When they passed the Phoenix Mountain, Zhu Yingtai said that she had a little nine sisters at home, and she was willing to be a matchmaker for Shanbo, hoping that he would come early to bless his family. This is the "Eighteen Martial Arts".

Shan Bo got the jade fan pendant from his mistress. After learning the truth, he hurried to Zhujiazhuang, only to find Yingtai betrothed by his father to Ma Wencai, the son of the satrap. Yingtai refused to get married according to reason until she died, and met Shanbo in Xiulou to show her heart. This is "meeting on the balcony".

Shan Bo was suddenly hit by this, and he was flustered and died of illness. The British and Taiwan Province people heard the bad news and died in Liang's mourning. This is "mourning". After Ma Jialai got married, Yingtai was dressed in mourning and asked to go through the tomb of Shanbo for sacrifice. I hope my father has no choice but to agree. When the sedan chair arrived at Shanbo's grave, Yingtai paid homage and wept bitterly. Suddenly, the grave cracked with a bang and Yingtai jumped into the grave. In an instant, the clouds cleared, the rain cleared, and a pair of beautiful butterflies danced freely in the blue sky. This is the embodiment of butterfly lovers, expressing the strong desire that life can't be married, but death should be in pairs.
