400 words of "Lei Ancestral".

According to legend, about 5000 years ago, there was a clan of Xiling Kingdom on the earth with abundant soil and water. On the sixth day of the third lunar month, a daughter was born in the family of Xiling patriarch. This daughter is Lei Zu. It is said that the storm lasted for three days and nights from the day she was born. When Lei Zu was born, his father was leading his people to pray to heaven. Witch divination: "Disaster and disaster come to Xiling at the same time. The disaster will not be removed, and the wind and rain will not stop. " When my father came home, he learned that his daughter was coming against the wind and rain, and his head suddenly became bigger. Looking at her daughter, the bloody baby cried; Listen outside, the wind broke the branches and kept ringing. He thought it was ominous, so he sent a wizard to throw his daughter into the canyon. As soon as the storm stopped, mother went to the ravine and found her daughter alive and sleeping soundly. The mother took her daughter home and begged her father to say, "Daughter is a disaster and a godsend treasure. Never pick it up and throw it! " Deeply moved, the father took his daughter and said, "We have lived here for ten generations." This is the first time we have suffered such a disaster. Maybe we should bring trouble to our ancestors once in our lives. Let's just call her Leizu! "Lei Zu's" Goddess of Love "was added by later generations.

Lei Zu grew up to be a beautiful, intelligent and kind girl. She goes out to pick wild fruits every day to serve her weak parents. When the wild fruits in the vicinity were finished, she waded across mountains to pick them in the distance. But before long, the wild fruit in the distance was picked. The girl couldn't help crying at the thought of her parents going hungry. Her cry was sad and desolate, and all the birds and animals in the forest were moved to tears.

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor in the sky brushed aside the clouds and lowered his head. It turned out that a young girl cried her eyes out, so she was kind-hearted and turned the evil fairy "Matou Niang" in heaven into a silkworm that ate mulberry leaves and spun silk. The silkworm sent the mulberry fruit on the mulberry tree to the girl's mouth. The girl ate it and felt sour and sweet, so she picked a lot and took it home for her parents to eat. Her parents' health is gradually improving.

In the blink of an eye, in summer, silkworms on mulberry trees began to cocoon and spin silk themselves. Seeing that silk is tough and light, the girl knits clothes for her parents. Clothes made of silk are cool in summer and warm in winter, so they are comfortable to wear. Deeply inspired, the girl took the silkworms home to feed them, gradually mastered the skills of raising silkworms and passed them on to the local people without reservation. From then on, people in Xiling no longer have to wear bark or hides, but beautiful and light silk.

The news that Lei Zu discovered sericulture and silk weaving soon spread all over China. It is said that both the Yi people in the East and the Yue people in the South flocked to Xiling to propose to Lei Zu, but both of them were declined. Finally, the Yellow Emperor also came to Xiling and met Lei Zu. They fell in love at first sight and became friends during Qin Jin's time.

After the marriage and alliance between Leizu and Huangdi, he assisted Huangdi in governing the Central Plains and building the country, which laid a solid foundation for the formation of the Chinese nation. Huangdi and Leizu became great historical giants, they inherited the flood and brought civilization to the next era.
