There are some legends about "Tears of the Heroines of the Rivers and Lakes" - Yongle swept the north and the Wenqu star sued

The first time: the scholar drunk night ghost in Jiaodong folklore a story, said in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Jiaodong has a scholar named Li Congsheng, one day he went out to meet friends, drank a lot of wine at a friend's house, from noon to the evening before going home。 When the officer and soldier heard the screams of the general and went into the house to look, they saw that the general who had not finished undressing was dead, and the woman also killed herself with the sword of the general, and she had not closed her eyes after death. When the officers and soldiers saw this, they were touched by the woman's chastity and martyrdom, and saw that the woman would rather die than be humiliated, so they carried her to the field and buried her. A touched veteran secretly wrote a note, saying that she would rather die than be humiliated, and secretly pressed the note on her grave with a stone. Later, the officers and soldiers stopped killing and slaughtering the village, and in order to hide the tragic scene of the slaughter, when burying the bodies of the victims in the Qing village, they found this note on the woman's grave. But in order not to attract the attention of others, the general ordered that the graves of the slain who were buried with the woman in a whole village should be staked with paper. On the one hand, in order to show that they died unjustly like this woman, and on the other hand, to prevent other soldiers from discovering and spreading the matter to the ears of their superiors. Therefore, at that time, this cemetery with paper on the head of the grave was formed.

Later, time passed, and the villages around these places moved from Yunnan. When the immigrants arrived here, they were surprised to find that there was a cemetery with paper on it, and they didn't know what was going on, so they went to the grave to look at the paper, and they looked at one after another, and saw that it was all white paper without words, and they were even more puzzled, and one of them saw the note with words on the woman's grave, and looked for a literate person, and then it suddenly dawned on them, and understood that this place had been slaughtered in the village not long ago, and they came to replace the grave with new paper in order to commemorate the souls who had left them houses and possessions, and whenever the paper on the grave was blown away by the wind and rain, they came to replace the grave with new paper。 Later, because this was so frequent, they came to pay tribute to these unjust souls at the New Year's Festival. This matter was passed on to two villages, two villages to four villages, and soon spread all over Jiaodong, since then, Jiaodong has left the custom of putting paper on the grave, and has followed the custom of going to the grave to pay tribute and change the new paper in order to mourn the deceased every year, and has been used to this day, and spread in most places in the country.

It is said that those immigrants moved here to take root and multiply, and I don't know how many years later, in this cemetery where the paper originated, suddenly someone saw a beautiful girl often appear at night, the girl looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, and she looked very marked. Sometimes in the surrounding villages, the cemetery is often heard crying at night, and when it gets dark, people in the surrounding villages dare not walk from here. This Li Congsheng walked here, although he was a little bold and a little drunk, but when he saw the cemetery, he still remembered the recent haunting of the legendary cemetery. So I couldn't help but be a little scared, but I still walked forward. But when he passed by this cemetery, he did not find any ghosts, let alone the beautiful girl in legend, nor did he hear any crying. So he put his mind at ease, and hurried forward without being so nervous or afraid.

But about two miles forward, he suddenly heard a woman crying in front of him. When the scholar heard the cry, he was a little puzzled, and said that he had passed through the cemetery but did not see any ghosts, and after the cemetery for about two miles, it was dark, and he had not encountered a ghost but had met a woman crying in front of him, and he was quite sad to hear her crying. Thinking of this, the scholar hurried forward, and when he was near, he saw a very beautiful woman, sitting on the ground in the moonlight, crying to death, and very sad. This woman did not look very old, if she was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in red and green, she could still see clearly in the moonlight, and her dress was extremely good-looking, and when the scholar saw it, he stepped forward and asked: "This eldest sister, it is so late, I don't know why you are crying here for any sad things?"

As soon as the woman heard the voice, she hurriedly raised her head to look, and when she saw a scholar in front of her, she was taken aback at first, and then hurriedly stopped crying and said, "Scholar, you don't care about me, you go quickly." ”

The scholar was already a little drunk, so he didn't understand: "Sister, don't you think I can't help you?"

The woman said, "Do you know who I am?"

The scholar said, "You are a woman, I don't know where your family lives, what is your name, what is your name, what is there to be embarrassed and sad? You might as well say it, if I can help you, I should try to help you." ”

The woman said, "Scholar, I'm not a human, I'm a ghost." ”

The woman's words surprised the scholar, but when she looked at the woman, who looked like a ghost and was clearly a human, she said, "Sister, don't scare me, you are clearly a human, how can you say that you are a ghost? If you are a ghost, how can I not be afraid?"

The woman said: "Scholar, I'm really a ghost, don't go forward and get my ghost angry, then I will hurt your life, originally you were a person in the yang world who saw me alive and would die, but fortunately you are drunk, drunk eyes see me will not hurt your life, if you don't leave early, once you get stained with my ghost anger, I'm afraid it will hurt you, I can't bear to hurt you, you go quickly." ”

When the scholar saw that this woman had some truth, he was a little scared in his heart, and he was about to turn around and leave, but when he thought that since he had already seen a ghost, maybe this was the beautiful girl and female ghost in the legend, right? Since she was a female ghost, what other sad thing could she cry about? Anyway, I had already met and seen it today, and I had already seen it, and it was right in front of me, why didn't I ask? Anyway, I didn't feel how scared I was. So the scholar turned around and said, "May I ask the girl, is there anything sad about your netherworld that makes you cry here?"

When the woman saw this, she didn't call Li Congsheng a scholar, but called her eldest brother, and said: "Big brother, you are drunk and meet me today, I might as well tell you the truth, even if we have already talked, I think it won't kill you when you are drunk." ”

Li Congsheng said: "Girl, don't worry, I'm not afraid, even if you say it, anyway, I've seen it today, am I still afraid to talk to you?"
