283 The Legend of the Laodao River 284 Hua Guan Suo

There's a legend that's very interesting, and I've copied it here for everyone to laugh at.

…… ……

There is a place called Laodao River in Changsha, and the kitchen knives produced there are very famous. Anyone who travels here will bring a kitchen knife or knives as a souvenir for themselves to use at home, or as a gift to relatives and friends (Подарки от родственников и друзей).

The place name Laodao River is also very interesting, Laodao River, did you fish for a knife?

It's true, the legend is still the Qinglong Yanyue Knife of Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms.

Legend has it that Guan Gong didn't care about Zhuge Liang's introduction, despised Huang Zhong, and even took only 500 school swordsmen to Changsha to kill.

After Guan Gong came to the area of the Laodao River, he slowly advanced his troops to explore the truth and reality.

On this day, Guan Gong and his subordinates took a small boat to enter the Xiangjiang River along the current Laodao River, and then went straight south, wanting to inquire about the river defense situation in Changsha City from the waterway.

At that time, Changsha Taishou was Han Xuan, and the generals were Huang Zhong and Wei Yan - these two were not ordinary people, Huang Zhong was one of the five tiger generals of Shu; And Wei Yan has always been a general of Shu, if there are "six tiger generals", Wei Yan must be the first choice.

There are still problems with the city defense arranged by these two generals?

Along the way, Guan Gong saw that on the spacious Xiangjiang River, there were dense warships and heavy guards.

Guan Gong privately thought that if he marched from the waterway to capture Changsha, it would definitely not work, so he couldn't help but sink his heart, and led his subordinates back to the camp to prepare for another battle.

Along the way, Guan Yu was sullen and worried, watching the boat slowly walk to the mouth of the Xiangjiang River when the Laodao River suddenly swelled, the blue waves were surging, Guan Yu and his party sat in the boat, swaying left and right, and the center of gravity was unstable.

Suddenly, a big wave turned the boat upside down, and a wave knocked all the people on the boat into the water, Guan Yu couldn't avoid it and fell into the water, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand accidentally fell into the river.

Legend has it that the green dragon embedded on the green dragon glaive knife can become a living green dragon when it encounters water, and as soon as the treasure knife enters the water, the green dragon will carry the treasure knife along the current Laodao River against the water.

Guan Yu fell into the river, and couldn't help but be anxious when he saw the treasure knife getting farther and farther away from him.

But his water nature is not particularly good, so he can only watch it in a hurry.

At this time, a Hunan girl who was fishing in the Xiangjiang River passed here, only to see her dressed plainly, wearing a straw hat unique to a fisherwoman, driving a boat to shuttle in the white waves, riding the wind and waves, and the water was excellent, she stopped the boat to Guan Yu's side, and said, "I can help you recover your knife!" ”

Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, the Qinglong Glaive Knife was his invincible weapon, he really couldn't imagine how he would play without the Qinglong Glaive Knife.

"But you have to promise me one condition!" The fisherwoman looked at Guan Yu, who was also majestic in the river, and said.

"Okay!" Guan Yu said loudly, "Don't say it's one condition, even a hundred conditions, I Guan Yu can promise you." ”

"That's ......," the fisherwoman was a little embarrassed at this, but she still mustered up her courage and said, "I'll recover your knife." You're going to marry me......"

The fisherman's girl raised her immature and fair little face, and her naughty appearance was very cute.

"This ......" Although Guan Yu hesitated, he hesitated for a while, and immediately nodded in agreement, he said, "Okay, as long as you recover my knife, I will marry you!" ”

The fisherwoman was overjoyed when she heard this, and with a turn of her hands on the pole, her little feet as white as jade chased her in the direction where the green dragon swam, and soon disappeared.

Guan Yu's deployment, Zhou Cang, turned the boat over, and also pulled Guan Yu ashore and chased him over.

After chasing for a moment, I saw the fishergirl riding on the green dragon, carrying the knife effortlessly, and rushing towards them.

Seeing this, Zhou Cang hurriedly went down to help, and the two of them worked together to get the Qinglong Glaive ashore.

Since then, the place where Guan Gong fell the knife was called "Luodaozui", and the river where Zhou Cang and the fisherwoman fished for the knife was called "Knife River".

It is said that the fisherwoman has caught a knife, and she wants Guan Yu to fulfill her promise and marry her.

We know that the martial saint Guan Yu is not close to women, and it is rumored that he beheaded Diao Chan under the moon.

Guan Yu looked around, hesitated for a while, and said, "Bringing my knife to the ship is mainly due to the contribution of his subordinate Zhou Cang, if it has nothing to do with you, there is no 'promise' to 'say', how can you talk about 'marrying' or 'marrying'?" ”

The fisherwoman felt that Guan Yu was untrustworthy, but because of Guan Yu's majesty, she didn't dare to quarrel more, so she had to stomp her feet hatefully, prop up the boat and go back, and at the moment she turned around, she left a sentence hatefully, "If I see you one day, I must cut off your beard with a kitchen knife!" ”

When the fisherwoman went home, she practiced hard to make kitchen knives, and since then, the kitchen knives in the area of the Laodao River have become famous.

Speaking of Laodao River, the most famous here is the "Laodao River" brand of knives and scissors. This knife and scissors brand, which has been sold all over the world since the end of the Ming Dynasty, is as famous as Beijing's "Wang Mazi" and Hangzhou's "Zhang Xiaoquan" knives and scissors, because of its fame, so that the Dao River is widely known.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of workshops producing "three knives" (scissors, kitchen knives, razors), accounting for about one-fifth of the local farmers. The scissors produced by the "inlaid steel forging" process, extremely sharp, and delicate seams, in the early Qing Dynasty was famous.

After the liberation, the knife and scissors of the river became even more famous. In 1953, the public-private partnership trend struck, and the small knife and scissors workshops near the Laodao River merged to establish the Changsha Laodao River Knife and Scissors Factory. In 1964, a top-down national product quality inspection competition was launched, and the scissors of Laodaohe Knife and Scissors Factory won the first place, Beijing Wang Mazi second, and Hangzhou Zhang Xiaoquan third. As a result, the knife river knife scissors are famous all over the country.

284 Hua Guansuo's wife, Bao Sanniang

Who is "Hanasekisuo"? is Guan Yu's third son, Guan Suo.

Then why is there a "flower" in front of his name? Did he ask for flowers and willows, and according to folk customs, he gave him the word "flower"?

Like the flower butterfly Jiang Chong in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", the white chrysanthemum Yan Fei in "Little Five Righteousness", and the flower monk Lu Zhishen (of course, the article "Water Margin" does not mention that he is also a "flower thief" like Jiang Chong and Yan Fei, but how did he get the nickname "Flower Monk").

Definitely.

There are two ways to say the word "flower" in Hua Guansuo, one is that his master's surname is Hua; The second is that a gentleman surnamed Hua adopted him back then, so he put the word "flower" on his head.

In fact, there is a deep reason why he is called "Hua Guansuo".

…… ……

Guan Yu had two sons: Guan Xing, Guan Suo, and had a righteous son, Guan Ping; There is also a woman: Guan Yinping (this must be a modern name, if it is called "yi

pi

g", it should be "silver bottle", not "silver screen").

Local legend: When Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan were righteous, in order to worry, they would never "return to their hearts", and killed each other's family separately - it was trembling, who had heard of such a righteousness?

When Zhang Fei destroyed Guan Yu's family, Guan Yu's wife Hu fled in chaos. After Hu returned to his parents' home, he gave birth to a son.

When his son was seven years old, he lost his lantern (in ancient times, babies were lost, mostly related to lantern viewing), and he was found by the rope outside. When he was nine years old, he was accepted as a disciple by Mr. Huayue in Porphyry Cave. In the meantime, "first teach Huang Gong the three strategies, and then learn Lu Wangliutaowen, and learn to learn eighteen kinds of martial arts."

When he was eighteen years old, he missed his parents, returned to Suo's house, asked about his origin, and then took the three family names as his name and named "Huaguan Suo". After that, he went to Xichuan with his mother to recognize his father (it was 202 at the time, Guan Yu should have been in Jingzhou, in fact, Guan Yu had never been to Xichuan). On the way, he packed up two groups of strongmen, defeated the soldiers and horses of Baojiazhuang and Lutangzhai, and married Bao Sanniang, Wang Tao and Wang Yue sisters as wives.

"Bao Sanniang" (During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no such thing as "Niang", and this type of name format first appeared in the Song Dynasty. In the historical materials of the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties, the only similar names in the Northern and Southern Dynasties are concubines and concubines. It is Baojiazhuang Bao Kai Bao Yuanwai (Three Kingdoms, there is no "outside" word, which is obviously added by later generations. ), the younger sister of Bao Feng and Bao Yi. Since childhood, he has been smart and clever, and he is deeply loved by everyone.

It is said that Guan Yu loved this daughter-in-law very much as soon as he saw it, and even taught Bao Sanniang martial arts in person, so it also created Bao Sanniang's civil and military skills.

After the fall of Jingzhou, Bao Sanniang followed Guan Suo to Shu Han and followed Zhuge Liang to conquer the Southern Barbarians. After pacifying Nanban, the husband and wife have been guarding Nanzhong for Zhuge Liang.

Guan Suoneng and Bao Sanniang became husband and wife, and there is a story of "heroes saving beauty".

It is said that one day, the young Guan Suo came to the boundary of the Baojia Mountains in Kuí Prefecture and found the streets commotioning. It turned out that a mountain bandit leader named Lian Kang fell in love with Bao Sanniang's beauty and came to ask for marriage. Lian Kang is extremely powerful and has martial arts, but he is very ugly, and Bao Sanniang naturally looks down on him.

Lian Kang couldn't get married, so he wanted to rob it. As soon as Guan Suo heard that there was such a thing, he drew his sword to help, killed Lian Kang, and rescued Bao Sanniang. The next thing is very natural, heroes match beauties, beauties love heroes, and the Bao family promised the three girls to Guan Suo.

The above incident is recorded in the "Sichuan Tongzhi": "Bao's person, Guan Suo's wife." Baojiazhuang in Kuizhou, brave and powerful, there are honest thieves who seek it, and they are not allowed. Fight, break. Guan Suo went to the expedition, and if he was overwhelmed, he surrendered to the city and supported the Han Dynasty."

There is a strange phenomenon in Chinese history: sometimes local chronicles are more reliable than historical records.

However, there is also another theory in the local chronicles about how Bao Sanniang and Guan Suo got along, which is that Bao Sanniang first took a fancy to Guan Suo, and promised him behind his parents' back, so Guan Suo killed his rival Lian Kang.

This is the so-called "Xiyi Zhi" on "Wukang County has a place where Lian Kang Tun soldiers, Kangyi people, strange ugly and powerful, claws like knife leather, skin as hard as iron, only three inches of throat soft ears." Wife Bao Sanniang is beautiful, sometimes there are flowers Guan Suojun, young beauty instrument, Bao Yue and private, Ya Lian Kang throat and killed".

Later, Guan Suo and Bao Sanniang Tun soldier Jia Meng (ancient name of Zhaohua) set up a banquet dam 5 kilometers northeast of the land, husband and wife guarded the pass, and built a stone city to block the Cao Wei army that came to invade Shu.

The novel about Guan Suo may be the most popular in "The Legend of Hua Guan Suo".

This work is said to be a poem in the form of "rap", but I have not heard it specifically, so I don't know if it is good or not.

The content is said to be about Liu Guanzhang and the three of them forming a righteous plot for the world, in order to cut off the disaster, they killed each other's relatives, and Mrs. Guan Yu, who was pregnant, escaped the disaster by chance. The child born is Guan Suo, who grew up to become a general of Shu Han, and the heroine who played against him was Bao Sanniang, who was born in Baojiazhuang mentioned in the romance.

But the two did not know each other from the refugees, they became a couple.

…… ……

Sun Quan paid tribute to Cao Cao a treasure--- the Red Dragon Scale Armor of the South China Sea, Guan Suo wanted to grab it to make armor, and at this time someone recommended Bao Sanniang to him.

Bao Sanniang has an oath: whoever wins her, she will marry whomever she wants.

Guan Suo defeated her in a big battle, and she also fell in love with the young and handsome Guan Suo, so she got married.

In addition, there are two daughters of the thief Wang Linggong: Wang Tao, Wang Yue also married him because he couldn't beat the pass. This type of marriage is also not uncommon in other novel reviews, such as "Dangkou Zhi", "Speaking of Tang" and so on.

In these novels, women are always the appendages of men, and most of them are criticized today.

Relatively speaking, the character of Bao Sanniang is relatively independent and has her own thoughts.

I once saw a little introduction on a website, it is said that she was originally a legendary figure "passed down from generation to generation" among the people, and it is believed that her tomb actually exists.

In the Peking Opera "Dragon and Phoenix Scarf" (alias "The Legend of the Outside"), Meng Huo has a daughter named Hua Hu (má

)。 Zhuge Liang fought against Guan Suo during his southern expedition, fell in love with Guan Suo, and made a private agreement with Guan Suo, who became a prisoner, for life. Later, she was captured by Shu Jun and used to exchange for Guan Suo, it is estimated that she deliberately used this to save Guan Suo, right?

This is mostly the part where Zhu Rong replaced Zhang Wei and Ma Zhong in the interpretation, right?

In addition, there is also a legend about Guan Yinhua in Chengjiang Yangzong Town, which also mentions Bao Sanniang, saying that when Nanzhong Yong rebelled against Shu, Zhuge Liang sent Li Hui to lead the army to crusade, and ordered Guan Suo, Li Wei, and Guan Yinhua to be the vanguard. Guan Yinhua incorporated Guan Suo's wives Bao Sanniang, Wang Tao, Wang Yue, Hua Zhongxiu, etc. into the women's barracks led by him, fought from Jianning (now Qujing) to the west of Panjiang, and captured Yu Yuan (now Chengjiang).
