Make a wish on your birthday, will it really come true?

Once upon a time, in a village, there was a boy who wanted to go to war. The girl who made a lifelong commitment with him silently made a wish for him every day, and then planted a seed by the lake. The girl carefully cares for every seed, because she is convinced that every seed germinates and the wish made with the seed can also be realized.

Her best friend asked her what she wished for, but she just shook her head and smiled without answering.

She has only one wish-I hope he will be safe. ...

But the war is over. ...

The boy didn't come back ...

The girl still stubbornly guarded every seed she planted for the boy, although the people in the village advised her to give up five years after the war.

Her parents searched house after house for her, but the girl remained indifferent.

Finally, her parents were forced to worry. His parents ignored the girl's protest and only promised to marry her to a family in the city.

The girl tried to reject the marriage in any way, but failed.

But the night before the wedding, the girl suddenly stopped resisting and put on a dress that all the women in the village envied. Knowing that she finally got over it, her family happily prepared for tomorrow's wedding.

I don't know that the girl has actually made up her mind quietly. She wants to keep her promise to that boy.

On the wedding day, almost the whole village gathered in the church on the hill.

They all sincerely wished the couple well, but when the bride appeared at the other end of the carpet, everyone stayed. The bride's dress is not white, but red with the blood on her hand.

Looking at the injured bride, although the groom tried his best to marry her, the husband's family insisted on breaking off the marriage relationship.

The girl finally got the peace she wanted because she was expelled from her home and the whole village.

Ten, twenty, forty, sixty years.

As early as people forgot this story, the girl was still quietly irrigating her forest. Although she is no longer young, her light footsteps have become heavy, her black hair has turned gray and her youthful face has been scarred by time, but the girl still hasn't stopped.

She stays with her tree every day until it gets dark, and then goes back to the hut she built by the lake.

The girl died alone, because her tree couldn't take care of her when she was sick, call a doctor for her and save her life.

A few boys in the village couldn't bear to see it, so they buried her under a tree by the lake.

Strange to say, from that day on, although other trees will wither and flourish with the change of seasons.

But only that tree is said to have never lost a fruit and thanked a leaf since that day.

The time around me seems to stay at that moment and no longer flow.

From that day on, there was another legend by the lake.

Men and women, as long as they can walk through the forest and plant a seed with their wishes in front of the wishing tree, their wishes will surely come true.

Of course, the premise is that he must be sincere. ...

The custom of wishing

Now, people tie paper with wishes on it to oranges and throw it on the branches. If it is hung on a tree, then the wish will come true.

"Kongming Lantern", also known as "Wen Lantern", is said to have been invented during the Three Kingdoms period (Zhuge Liang). At that time, Zhuge Liang was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang and could not send troops out of the city for help. Zhuge Liang calculated the wind direction and made a flying paper lantern, which was sure to escape, so later generations called it Kongming Lantern. After Zhuge Liang became the prime minister of Shu, his wife who stayed at home missed her distant husband, Kong Ming, and sent him lanterns to convey her love. During the Qianlong period in the middle of Qing Dynasty, towns and villages in Wanning formed their own unique custom of "Yuanxiao". Every year in July and August of the lunar calendar, local people spontaneously hold activities to release lanterns. Before flying lanterns, write down your wishes and blessings on the lanterns, put your wishes in the sky and pray that your wishes can come true.

The making of Kongming lanterns is also very simple. Generally, a barrel with two leaking ends and a diameter of about 60 cm is made of tissue paper, and then the circular air holes on it are pasted. Cut a thin wire, bend it into a circle the size of the hole below, and stick it on the edge of the paper. Wrap two thin wires that cross each other vertically in the wire coil, ignite the alcohol cotton ball, and tie it in the center of the wire intersection. The air in the paper bucket will go straight into the sky after being heated and expanded.

Of course, you can also order a Kongming lantern on Taobao, and the price is not expensive.

It was in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

Legend has it that people write their wishes on a piece of paper and then stick them on the wishing wall. Next time they come back here, if they can still find the note posted at that time, then your wish will come true.

Although it is only a Korean idol drama.

An ancient Japanese legend: Fold 1000 paper cranes, hanging in front of the window. When the breeze blows, making a wish will come true. You'd better write your wishes in every paper crane. )

Later, in order to get customers to buy more origami cranes, many merchants would even coax girls into saying, 1 1 what is it, what is 20 yuan, 1 1 what is it? ... but the intention of buying 1000 is more pure ~

Nowadays, many people also fold paper cranes for their sick friends. It is said that as long as you fold 1000 cranes, people in your heart will be fine.

Legend has it that when you see a meteor in the night sky, you close your eyes and make a wish. When you open your eyes, if the meteor is still there, your wish will come true. Unfortunately, although the meteor is beautiful, it flies too fast and often has no time to make a wish. People can only make countless wishes on the night of the meteor shower, so watching the meteor shower has become the most romantic thing for couples.

There is an ancient Greek legend: If you write your wish on paper, put it in a transparent glass bottle and then put it into the sea. The bottle carries a wish for a distant place. The more people you see, the more likely your wish will come true. Later, people called this kind of bottle a drift bottle.
