Village fortune teller _ village fortune teller's novel

It is said that Tengu eats human children and can make women infertile. In ancient times, people would ask fortune tellers to choose auspicious days before the wedding. After selection, the fortune teller must write down the wedding taboo on a piece of red paper. The most important thing is not to offend the "Tiangou". If you violate the "Tiangou", you can't have children. Once upon a time, many infertile women offered "Zhang Xian" to pray for their children, which was called "sending Zhang Xian away". There are no statues. The "Zhang Xian" in the painting is a handsome man in a horn scarf and robe. He looked up at the sky with a slingshot in his hand. It is said that he shot "Tiangou" with a slingshot. So in Beiguan, in addition to fragrant flowers, wine and dishes, there is also a plate of five balls made of raw noodles for him to shoot "Tiangou".

There is another legend in Dantu County, Jiangsu Province:

In ancient times, groups of tengu appeared here. These tengu not only steal farmers' food, but also destroy crops in the fields. One year, the wheat had just turned yellow, and at noon on the eighth day of April, thousands of tengu suddenly came. They rolled in the wheat fields and gnawed at the ears of wheat. There is not much time, and thousands of acres of wheat only prick the straw. Seeing that the rations in their mouths were swallowed by dogs, the farmers were in a state of confusion. At this time, an old man with white hair came. Seeing this scene, he thought of a way. He asked the farmer to push the mud dog down the pond at noon the next day to lure the dog to jump. At noon the next day, the farmers pushed the mud dog down the pond according to the old man's instructions. For a time, "plop, plop" ... a large group of tengu scrambled to jump into the river. In a short time, all the tengu were drowned.

On the eighth day of April every year, Baodian, Dantu County, Jiangsu Province will hold the "Dog Festival". On this day, every household pinches two kinds of dogs: one is a dog mixing mud, and the other is a dog kneading dough. When the moon comes out at night, the peasant women push the mud dog down the pond, set off firecrackers for a while, and then go home to steam the dog to eat.

Folk also said that "lunar eclipse" and "solar eclipse" were caused by "Tengu" swallowing the moon and the sun. This dog is very childish and often plays with the moon and the sun. He always likes to swallow the moon and the sun and then spit it out. /kloc-Children under 0/6 are vulnerable to being bitten by dogs when they watch "Tiangou Eat the Moon". In order to save the moon, people should ring the bell to save the moon during the eclipse. It is said that when the bell rings loudly, it will frighten the "Tiangou" to spit out the moon. In ancient times, not only a few "ignorant people" rang the bell to save the moon, but also officials in charge of heaven in the imperial court had to knock bronze wares to save the moon until it recovered.

Wa, Bai, Wa, Oroqen, Mongolian, Daur, etc. There is a legend that the tengu devoured the moon and the sun, and they all took part in the action to save the moon and the sun. During the eclipse, everyone gets up and calls the dog. When watching the solar eclipse, Mongolian flags shouted at the sky or beat iron tools to drive away the tengu that devoured the sun and the moon. The Oroqen people knock on boxes and kowtow. Every Daur family beats copper and iron objects until the moon returns.

Guo Moruo once wrote the poem "Tiangou", including "I am Tiangou! The poem "I swallowed the moon, I swallowed the sky" expresses the determination of Tengu to devour the old feudal things he hates.

China people like to learn aesthetic feeling from nature, take some phenomena in nature as the prototype, carry out artistic processing and artistic imagination, and bring beautiful enjoyment and elegant taste to life. The legend of Tengu is often touched by the scene, and the surrounding natural landscape has the aura of Tengu.

Dog drive festival

On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, Baodi, Dantu County, Jiangsu Province, is a dog-driving festival. On this day, every household has to pinch two kinds of dogs: one is a dog mixing mud, and the other is a dog kneading dough. When the moon came out, the peasant women put the mud dog down in the pond, set off firecrackers for a while, and then went home to steam the dog to eat.

According to legend, in ancient times, groups of tengu appeared in this area. These tengu not only stole the farmers' food, but also destroyed the crops in the fields. One year, the wheat just turned yellow. On the eighth day of April, at noon, thousands of tengu suddenly came. They rolled in the wheat fields and gnawed at the ears of wheat. Time is running out, and there are only straws left in thousands of acres of wheat. Seeing that the rations in their mouths were swallowed by dogs, the farmers were in a state of confusion. At this time, an old man with white hair came. Seeing this scene, he thought of a way to tell the farmer to crush the mud dog at noon the next day and fall into the pond to lure the dog to jump.

At noon the next day, the farmers poured the mud dog into the pond according to the old man's instructions. For a while, plop, plop ... A large group of tengu scrambled to jump into the river, and in a short time, all tengu drowned. Later, in order to protect the crops in the field and keep the harvest fruit, on the eighth day of April, Baodi's peasant women still had to pinch some mud dogs and throw them into the river.

Japanese tengu

Tiangou, river boy and ghost can be called the three most famous monsters in Japan, among which Tiangou is undoubtedly the most powerful representative of mountain monsters.

The origin of tengu

The word "Tengu" also comes from China. There is a cloud in Shan Hai Jing and Xi Shan Jing: "There is a beast on the Yinshan Mountain, which looks like a raccoon and has a white head. The name is Tiangou, and it sounds like durian, which can ward off evil spirits. " It is mentioned in the article that at first Tengu was an auspicious animal, which could resist fierce attacks, but later it evolved into a description of comets and meteors. The ancients regarded heaven as bad luck, so Tiangou also became the title of evil star. The earliest record of the Japanese tengu can be found in The History of Japan, and the tengu is also used as a metaphor for comets and meteors. In Japan, Tengu is also called Tengu because of its appearance. Until the Heian period, the Japanese tengu was still the image described in Shan Hai Jing.

Evolution of Japanese tengu

Since the Middle Ages, Japanese tengu has gradually embarked on its own evolutionary path.

Today, the familiar image of Tiangou is far from its original appearance. It is generally believed that a monster that can fly and cling to the human body recorded in ancient and modern legends is called "eagle", and an owl-shaped monster in Buddhism, also known as "Tiangou", may be the prototype of modern Tiangou.

At first, the image of Tengu was a bird's beak with a pair of wings. The most famous legend of the bird-shaped tengu is that the first demon king in Japan, Chongde, went to the emperor. After being defeated in Baoyuan Rebellion, he died in exile with strong hatred. On his deathbed, he swore that "I would kill the people for Japan, kill the emperor for the people, and this country will be in troubled times forever". He was inarticulate, wrote down cursing scriptures in blood, and turned resentment into a golden kite, which harmed the world. In the legend that Tengu is an evil spirit, Emperor Chongde has always been the leader of Tengu.

The legend of a high-nosed dog

The origin of the high-nosed dog image should be attributed to the integration of religious elements such as Buddhism and Taoism.

In the Kamakura era, Tiantai Sect became the target of public criticism for surpassing the authority of Buddhism because of its profound cultivation. At that time, the "Harmful House Map" described the story that Tiangou challenged the Tiantai monk but failed miserably. Legend has it that the Tengu from China once turned to the Japanese Tengu for help, but the Japanese Tengu showed arrogance, and arrogance is "high nose", so this story can be said to be the origin of the Tengu with high nose. Later, it slowly appeared that Tiangou didn't practice enough and couldn't give up the persistence and delusion of practicing Taoism after the monk died. Because of their Buddhist nature, these practitioners were prevented from falling into hell, hungry ghosts, Asura and wild animals, but they had no moral heart and could not ascend to heaven, and were finally exiled to the gutter outside the six divisions of Karma Wheel. At this time, the view that Tiangou is a spirit of hatred has faded, and because practitioners usually hide in the mountains and mountains, the legend of Tiangou has added elements of mountain god belief, and the image of Tiangou overlaps with mountain god to some extent. Coupled with the people's awe of practitioners, Tiangou people not only have a high nose, but also have superior martial arts. For some bizarre events or unexplained phenomena, it is often blamed on Tiangou, so there are legends such as "Shen Yin", "Tiangou fell down", "Tiangou smiled" and "Tiangou gravel". ...

By the end of Muromachi, we finally established the image of a dog with a high nose that we are familiar with today-red face, high nose and wings, wearing a cassock, holding a king kong staff or a Tai Dao, a feather fan, wearing a single-toothed high clogs, carrying a cloak to hide his figure, arrogant and stunted, and omnipotent between heaven and earth. ...

abstract

According to Zhang Ping's novella < < The Killer > > Adapted.

In the early morning, there was a bloody case in the forest-the ranger Li Tiangou shot and killed the Kong family three brothers.

Li Tiangou is a war hero. He broke his leg on the battlefield. After demobilization, he was assigned to a remote state-owned forest farm as a ranger. The three brothers of the Kong family who were shot by him were all famous and powerful people in the local area, and they were called "Three Dragons".

Lao Wang, a public security officer, went into the village to investigate the case. Incredibly, when Li Tiangou was seriously injured and dying, he shot very accurately with an old gun. Behind this bloody case, there is a thrilling and earth-shattering story. ...

Novel of the same name

Tiangou is Jia Pingwa's novella, which mainly tells a sad and moving story about Tiangou. ：

"Tiangou is a desperate man, 36 years old, and can't earn money to get married and start a family." He lost his parents when he was a child, and other relatives died one after another, leaving only one menstruation. People who are capable in Zhangjiakou bunker can get along well, but Tengu can't. He has only a strong body and exuberant energy. But the craft has nothing to do with the job, and his strength is useless.

There is a "well handle" in the fortress called Li Zheng. At that time, drilling wells in the castle was hot, and the "well-handled style" was well mixed by his skills. Therefore, Tiangou presented a "four-color gift" to "Haobashi" to learn from the teacher. Under the woman's repeated persuasion, the "well-handle style" finally accepted Tengu, but as it said, Tengu only worked as an underground helper for forty or sixty cents, and technology was not granted.

Tengu and Li Zhengzheng are apprentices, but they live a comfortable life alone. Tengu listened to Li Zhengyi's advice when he was away from home, but he was taken care of by his mistress when he came back. Because of this, Tengu felt the gentleness of women for the first time and knew that women had so many benefits for the first time. After the most impulsive period, he once again issued a strong desire for women (women like her teacher and mother). At this time, my aunt also stepped forward and tried her best to find him a second married woman. The woman divorced in the spring and had a three-year-old baby.

At this time, Tengu has been in love with the teacher's mother for a long time! How should things be handled here? It is this contradiction that pushes the story to a climax. At the same time, greater suspense also came into being.

For the second-married woman, Tengu is not interested. She is not nearly as good as Teacher Niang, but Teacher Niang is a Teacher Niang after all. Can she be a wife? Unfortunately, that woman is not only inferior to the teacher's mother in appearance, but also very inferior in heart. With the development of the story, her nature was revealed. She is not looking for a man, but for money. In fact, Tengu dare not be picky about what he says. It's just that his relationship with his teacher and mother is getting deeper and deeper, and things have reached the point where something must happen. In fact, the author's arrangement is so much.

First, the second-married woman issued an ultimatum-if Tengu can't come up with a thousand important people in the past in one month, then she will find someone else. A thousand dollars, don't even think about it. Besides, Tengu has a lover. Although it is unreasonable for the law to be reasonable, what can a person like Tiangou say? What method? At this point, the combination of Tengu and Shi Niang seems inevitable. However, how should they deal with the pressure from their families and villagers?

Just when we were in a hurry, things changed dramatically again. The "well handle" was knocked unconscious by a big stone while digging a well. Li Zheng died like this? No, the author hasn't let him die. Readers may all want him to die, but neither Tengu nor his wife wants him to die. It was his apprentice Tiangou who saved him, but he was disabled before he died-his lower body could no longer move and became a cripple. With no pillar in the family and endless medical expenses, a son went to junior high school. A middle-class peasant family suddenly became a poor peasant. In the future, women will bear the burden of this life, obviously not. "Jing Bashi" saw this, so he was very upset. He tried to commit suicide and was persuaded by his wife.

However, this is definitely not enough. It is difficult for a woman to support a family, and Li Zheng needs someone to serve everything. The cost of medicine is a bottomless pit. What if I can't commit suicide? Readers may think of dogs. Li Zheng also thought of this. He agrees with us, but he doesn't know that Tengu likes his wife so much. He begged Tengu and his wife to agree to his request-let Tengu adopt her son-in-law in their home.

Tiangou dreamed of marrying the teacher's mother before, but now he is facing the pleading of the master. What will happen to him? Say "I do, I did a long time ago"? No, after that, Tengu really matured. There is no denying that she likes her teacher's mother, but he hesitated when making such a decision.

For Shi Niang's family, Tiangou agreed and later moved to their home. The beauty is that what Tengu dreamed of doing before can't be done now under reasonable and legal circumstances. She never dared to touch her long-cherished teacher niang, although this elder sister (teacher niang) and eldest brother (Li Zheng) worked hard. Finally, guess what? "Jing Bashi" finally committed suicide. He left everything to Tengu, including his wife, son and the whole family.

However, after the death of Jingwumen, did Tengu dare to touch his wife? The well handle died, but it left more painful scars on the hearts of the living. ...
