In ancient times, not long after Tao Tang Yao became king, he was very concerned about the life of herdsmen. One day, when he visited the herdsmen in the pastoral area, he suddenly heard a faint fragrance, and a beautiful woman with a fire in her hand floated in the distance. King Yao was stunned, and asked the herdsmen to find out that it was a deer fairy, and since then King Yao has not known the taste, and is worried about the fairy, and is determined to go down the mountain to find the fairy.

King Yao led the four ministers to visit the immortal cave ditch in the south of Jin, but they couldn't find it for a long time. Suddenly, I saw a pretty sika deer leisurely walked out of the Gu Shooting Fairy Cave, King Yao knew that it was a fairy, so he stepped forward, and when he was about to meet, there was a big python suddenly burst out, approaching King Yao, King Yao was caught off guard. I saw that the deer fairy was close to her, and the fairy pointed with her hand, and the python suddenly trembled and fled in panic.

King Yao's figure is tall and burly, his appearance is dignified, and the fairy is beautiful and moving, the two fell in love at first sight, and a beautiful mythical relationship has since been formed.

They got married in the Gushu Immortal Cave, and for a while auspicious clouds were swirling, and hundreds of birds were singing. In the evening, when Luan was knotted, a cluster of divine fire suddenly shot on the roof of the cave, dazzling and dazzling. Since then, there has been a custom in the world to call the bride's house a cave house, and the wedding night to be called a candle night in the cave house.

During the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang built a large number of buildings, built the Afang Palace, and sent ministers to the people to forcibly select the beauties of the world. At that time, there was a very handsome and intelligent third girl, who was forced to be sent to Afang Palace, but the brave and stubborn three girls were unwilling to live the dark life of being ravaged by enslavement, so they escaped from the palace and went straight to Huashan. At that time, Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, innocently persecuted scholars, and scholars were forced to flee for their lives, and a scholar named Shen Bo also fled to Huashan at that time.

One day, the three girls and Shen Bo met, and both of them were dressed in rags and had haggard faces. The two of them each poured out their misfortunes, and gradually multiplied with admiration, planted branches as incense, swore to heaven, and became a husband and wife in distress. In the case of no tile on the top and in the dense forest, they took a cave under the boulder as their new home, and the couple fell in love with each other, living together, although life was difficult, but felt that life was sweet.

Later, this matter was widely spread among the people, and the descendants had reverence and nostalgia for the three girls who were not afraid to fight for freedom, so they built a lot of temples along the Huashan Mountain Road, and the main hall of each temple was dedicated to the shrine of the Three Virgins, and the Three Virgins were the three girls.

Later, some literati made up beautiful and colorful myths such as Baolian lantern, splitting the mountain to save the mother, and chanting poems such as the night of the candle in the cave room, and the inscription of the gold list, which made the legend of the cave room more beautiful and moving.

In Xi'an, there is a remnant of Banpo Toe, a primitive social site left over from 6,000 to 7,000 years ago, which is the ruins of a village during the matrilineal clan society, and the ruins reflect the marriage customs of the time. At that time, people lived in half-cave and half-house houses, and when the man and woman reached the marriage period, the man married into the woman's village and lived with the woman in a pre-arranged cave house, so the word cave house was born.

The legend of the cave house was stipulated by the ancestor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, who defeated Chiyou, quelled the war, established a tribal alliance, stopped group marriage, and ended the barbaric era, and the era of human civilization began at the beginning.

In the era of human beings, who are accustomed to group marriages, it is not easy to change to monogamy all of a sudden. For the newly unified tribal alliance, there are factors that are extremely unfavorable to unity in the group marriage system, and there are often incidents of marriage robbery, not only men robbing women, but also women robbing men. Fights and brawls often occur between the tribes of the new alliance over marriage robbery, and as time goes by, the contradictions will inevitably intensify, and there is a possibility of re-splitting between the tribes.

The Yellow Emperor was often worried about this matter, and he found the ministers around him, Chang Xian, Da Hong, Feng Hou, Li Mu, Cangjie and others to find a way, and discussed many times how to stop group marriages and establish monogamy, but no one came up with a feasible solution.

One day, the Yellow Emperor accompanied a group of big giants to inspect whether the cave where the people lived was safe, and suddenly found that the family lived in three caves, and in order to prevent wild beasts, a high wall was built with stones around it, leaving only a person to enter and exit the door. This discovery immediately aroused the interest of the Yellow Emperor, and he summoned all the ministers around him that night.

The Yellow Emperor said: "I have an idea to stop group marriage, say it and let everyone talk about it, see if it's okay?"

The Yellow Emperor said: "Today we looked at the cave where the people lived, and I think the only way to stop the group marriage is to get married to a man and a woman in the future, and when they get married, they will first gather the people of the tribe to congratulate them, hold a ceremony, worship heaven and earth, worship their fathers and mothers, and worship each other." Then eat and drink to celebrate, sing and dance, and announce that the two have officially married. Then the husband and wife are sent to the cave prepared in advance, with a high wall built around them, leaving only one door for entry and exit, and eating and drinking are sent by the relatives of both men and women, for as long as three months and as short as forty days, so that they can establish the relationship between husband and wife in the cave, learn to cook on the fire, and learn how to live. ”

"In the future, all the men and women who marry into the cave house of the tribesmen will be called formal marriage, and it is no longer allowed to rob other people's men and women. In order to distinguish between married and unmarried, a married woman must tie her unkempt hair in a knot. When people looked at it, they knew that the woman was married, and that the other men could not have other plans, otherwise they would have violated the tribal rules. ”

After the Yellow Emperor finished speaking about this proposition, he immediately received the support of Chang Xian, Da Hong, Li Mu and others, and the crowd suggested that Cangjie write a law and publish it to the public, and this proposition was soon supported by the people of various tribes. People are vying to dig caves and build high walls for their children, and when they are married, they are sent to the cave houses after the ceremony.

The vice of group marriage has gradually disappeared, but the customary force of thousands of years is the most terrible force, deep-rooted, and it is not possible to completely change it overnight. There are also some people who are not used to monogamous couples.

It is said that there is a pair of hunting experts, the male is called Shi Zhen, the female is called Mu Miao, the two are married by the parents of both sides, and after the wedding, they are both sent to the cave house. After living for less than ten days, because both of them had the idea of not wanting to live a monogamous life, one night, taking advantage of the silence of the night, both of them crossed the wall and fled.

The stone and the seedlings fled into the big forest, and for a while they could not find a place with people, the more anxious they became, the more confused the road became, and they did not have hunting tools with them, for fear of being attacked by wild beasts. After dawn, thirsty and hungry, the two unconsciously came together again, and in order to save their lives, the two had to rely on each other.

After more than a month of tossing and turning in the big forest, the young couple was frightened and worried all day long, only afraid that wild beasts would come to attack. No one wants to be separated, no one can do without anyone, and the feelings of husband and wife are getting deeper and deeper, and they really understand the taste of love. After returning to the tribe, Shi Zhen and Mu Miao were never separated again, and the young couple established a happy family from then on. This is the origin of entering the cave room and the honeymoon, which has been passed down to this day.
