Chapter 310: Qingyan and Yingying
Qingyan said: "Ah, the world is so unfair, a poor little girl should have a happy childhood." You should go to school, put on a pink down jacket, a pair of yellow cotton pants, and a pair of snow-white cotton shoes, and she doesn't, the little girl is cold and hungry, and no one pities you to buy these matches, and you don't dare to go home for Christmas Eve, but this wish has not been fulfilled. ”
Xiao Yingying looked at Qingyan with big round eyes and said, "Auntie, the little girl who bought the train is so pitiful, our family has everything, won't she have to sell matches and freeze to death if she comes to my house?"
Qingyan listened to Xiao Yingying's innocent words, touched Xiao Yingying's head with her hand and said: "The little girl who bought matches is Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, she can't come to your house, this story tells us the darkness of the old society, the happiness of our current society, you see that you can meet such a good mother as Rose, but the poor little girl in the old society can't meet such a good person, you have to be kind to your Rose Mother when you grow up, and you have to repay your Rose Mother well." ”
Xiao Yingying said as if she didn't understand: "I know, aunt, if Mother Rose hadn't taken me in, I would have been frozen and starved to death in winter." ”
Qingyan said: Our little Yingying won't, because you met the kind mother rose.
Xiao Yingying said: "Auntie, tell me a happy story, this is too sad." ”
Qingyan said: "Okay, my aunt will tell you a happy story, Hou Yi shoots the sun and Chang'e runs to the moon, Hou Yi and Chang'e are husband and wife, let's talk about Hou Yi shooting the sun first, legend has it that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky, and they were all sons of the Emperor of the East." These ten suns lived with their mother, the wife of the Emperor of Heaven, on the shores of the East Sea. She often bathed her ten children in the East China Sea, the easternmost part of the world. After bathing, let them perch on a large tree like little birds. Because the image of each sun is centered on a bird, the tree becomes their home, with nine suns perched on the shorter branches and one perched on the treetops. When dawn calls for morning light, the sun perched on the treetops travels through the sky on a two-wheeled cart, shining on the world, spreading light and heat to every corner of the world. The ten suns change every day, taking turns to be on duty, orderly, and all things in heaven and earth are in harmony. People live in great happiness and harmony on the earth. People live together like neighbors and friends, ploughing at sunrise and resting at sunset, and live a happy and happy life. Humans and animals can also get along. At that time, people were grateful for the time, light, and joy that the sun brought to them, and they often kowtowed to the sky and bowed to them.
However, after such days are too long, the ten suns will be bored, and they will want to travel the sky together, and they must have found it interesting. So, when dawn came, the ten suns climbed into the two-wheeled cart together and embarked on a journey through the sky. At this time, the people and everything on the earth will not be able to stand it. The ten suns were like ten fires, and together they released a heat that scorched the earth and burned many people and animals. The forest was on fire, and all the trees, crops and houses were burned to ashes. The people and animals that were not burned in the fire rushed to the wolves, running in all directions, frantically looking for places to escape the disaster and to save their lives with water and food.
The rivers dried up, the sea dried up, all the fish died, and the monsters in the water climbed ashore to steal food. Crops and orchards withered and scorched, and food for people and livestock was cut off. People were either burned alive by the sun's heat or fed by wild beasts. People are struggling in the midst of the calamity of the sea of fire, praying for the gift of God!
At this time, there was a young and handsome hero named Hou Yi, he was a magic archer, excellent archery, and he hit every shot. He was summoned by the Emperor of Heaven and received the mission of driving the sun away. When he saw that people were living in the midst of fire, he was very unbearable, so he secretly decided to shoot away the nine extra suns and help people get out of the sea of suffering.
So, Hou Yi climbed over ninety-nine mountains, crossed ninety-nine rivers, crossed ninety-nine canyons, came to the East China Sea, and climbed a big mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was the vast sea. Hou Yi pulled out a 10,000-pound crossbow, mounted a thousand-pound sharp arrow, aimed at the hot sun in the sky, and shot an arrow with a swish, and the first sun was shot down. Hou Yi drew his bow and crossbow again, mounted a sharp arrow, and shot it with a buzz, shooting down two suns at the same time. Now, there are seven suns in the sky staring at the red eyes. Hou Yi felt that the sun was still very hot, and shot a third arrow fiercely. The arrow was shot with great force, and one arrow shot down four suns. The other suns trembled and swirled in fright. In this way, Hou Yi is one after another
One arrow at the sun, one by one, shot nine suns. The nine suns that were shot by the arrow died one by one. Their feathers fell to the ground, and little by little their light and heat disappeared. Until there was finally one sun left, he was very afraid, so he followed Hou Yi's instructions and honestly continued to contribute light and heat to the earth and all things.
Since then, this sun rises every day from the sea in the east and sets from the mountains in the west at night, warming the world, keeping all things alive and people living and working in peace and contentment.
Hou Yi made great achievements and was respected and loved by the people, but after killing the son of the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor blamed him and relegated him and Chang'e to the mortal world as mortals. Many people with lofty ideals come to learn from the arts. The treacherous and unscrupulous Pengmeng also mixed in.
Hou Yi felt sorry for Chang'e, in addition to passing on the art of hunting, he was with his wife all day long, and said: "The hierarchy in the sky is strict, and I am at ease in the world." However, mortals will eventually die, and if they want to live forever, they must cross weak waters, climb volcanoes, climb Kunlun, and go to the Queen Mother of the West to obtain the elixir of immortality. ”
Hou Yi relied on his world-beating skills and superhuman will, crossed the hot mountains and weak waters, climbed the cliffs, and came to the top of Kunlun Mountain. The Queen Mother of the West admired Hou Yi's actions and sympathized with his suffering, but there was only one immortal medicine left, so she said: "The immortal medicine is refined with the immortal fruit that is immortal in the number of immortals, and the immortal number blooms once in three thousand years, and bears fruit once in three thousand years, and it takes another three thousand years to refine the medicine." Now there is only one left, and the two of them can share immortality, and one person can ascend to heaven and become an immortal if he eats alone. ”
Hou Yi came back and discussed with his wife Chang'e to find an auspicious day to eat, and temporarily handed over the immortal medicine to Chang'e for safekeeping. Chang'e hid the medicine in the treasure box on the dresser, but was unexpectedly seen by Pengmeng.
When Hou Yi led his disciples out hunting, Pengmeng, who had a ghost in his heart, pretended to be sick and stayed. Soon after Hou Yi led everyone away, Peng Meng broke into the backyard of the inner house with a sword in his hand and coerced Chang'e to hand over the immortal medicine. Chang'e knew that she was not Pengmeng's opponent, and when she was in danger, she immediately made a decision, turned around and opened the treasure box, took out the immortal medicine and swallowed it in one gulp.
Chang'e swallowed the medicine, and her body immediately floated off the ground, rushed out of the window, and flew into the sky. Because Chang'e was concerned about her husband, she flew down to the nearest moon in the world and became an immortal. In the evening, Hou Yi returned home, and the maids cried about what happened during the day. Hou Yi was both frightened and angry, drew his sword to kill the villains, and Peng Meng fled early. Angry, Hou Yi beat his chest and screamed. Grief-stricken, Hou Yi looked up at the night sky and called his beloved wife's name. At this time, he was surprised to find that the moon today was exceptionally bright and bright, and there was a swaying figure that resembled Chang'e.
Hou Yi hurriedly sent someone to Chang'e's favorite back garden, put on the incense table, put her favorite honey and fresh fruits, and worshiped her Chang'e in the Moon Palace.
After hearing the news of Chang'e running to the moon and becoming an immortal, the people set up incense tables under the moon one after another, praying for auspiciousness and peace to the kind Chang'e.
Since then, the custom of worshipping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival has spread among the people. ”
Xiao Yingying said: "Aunt, this Chang'e has become an immortal, but Hou Yi has not become an immortal, so will they be together in the future?"
Qingyan said: "One of them is in the sky and the other is on the ground, of course they can't be together, but Hou Yi can see Chang'e through the moon, Chang'e has been living on the moon, very lonely, no one to accompany her, and then she raised a white rabbit to accompany her, as for Hou Yi, she can't escape the birth, old age, sickness and death in the world, and finally died of old age." However, there is also a version of Chang'e running to the moon, saying that Chang'e couldn't withstand the temptation of heavenly life, and took advantage of Houyi to go out hunting and swallowed the immortal medicine alone. But the Moon Palace was empty, surprisingly deserted, she chewed the taste of loneliness and regret in the long night, and slowly turned into a white toad of the Moon Spirit, and was punished for pounding immortal medicine all day long in the Moon Palace, living a lonely and miserable life. Li Shangyin once lamented Chang'e in a poem: "Chang'e should repent of stealing the elixir, and the blue sea and blue sky are in the heart of the night." "Hou Yi is a big hero, the police officer Hou Yi died, people worship him very much, the times spread his story, until now people still know the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun, on the contrary, Chang'e is still alive, but people blame her for eating the elixir and abandoning Hou Yi, so many people say that Chang'e ran to the moon because Chang'e was too selfish, leaving her descendants alone in the world, she ran to the moon palace as a fairy, and people were the roundest in the moon is the day when Chang'e flew into the sky- Eating moon cakes on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, people want to eat the moon so that Chang'e has no place to live, because the moon cakes are round, and all people eat moon cakes on the 15th day of August, which has been passed down to the present. ”
Qingyan finished speaking, she didn't hear Xiao Yingying speak, take a closer look, Xiao Yingying fell asleep, Qingyan said: "This story is too long, I have a dry mouth when I tell it, but this little guy is asleep, I have been talking for so long, I am really tired of taking a child, but I am also very happy to have a child." ”
