China's four folktales are: the Cowherd and Weaver Maid Meng Jiangnv and the White Snake Legend Liang Zhu.
One of the Four Chinese Folk Stories: Liang Zhu
Once upon a time, there was a place called Zhu, who was called Mr Zhu. His daughter Zhu Yingtai is not only beautiful and generous, but also smart and studious. But in ancient times, women couldn't go to school, so Zhu Yingtai could only lean against the window bar every day and look at the scholars coming and going in the street with books on their backs. He was envious! Can women only embroider at home? Why can't I go to school? She suddenly asked herself: Yes! Why can't I go to school?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yingtai hurried back to his room and got up the courage to ask his parents, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to study in Hangzhou. I can wear men's clothes and dress up as a man. I won't let others recognize me. Just promise me! " Mr. and Mrs. Zhu Yingtai didn't agree at first, but they couldn't stand the entreaties of Yingtai and had to agree.
Early the next morning, at dawn, Zhu Yingtai and the maid dressed as men, said goodbye to their parents, took up the bookcase and set off for Hangzhou happily.
On the first day of school, Zhu Yingtai met a male classmate named Liang Shanbo, who was knowledgeable and had an excellent personality. She thought: If such a good person can be together every day, he will certainly learn a lot and be very happy. Moreover, Liang Shanbo also thinks that he and she hit it off very well, and he thinks that he also hits it off at home. As a result, they often talk about poetry and articles together, care about each other, and are hot and cold, shoulder to shoulder. Later, the two became sworn brothers, always inseparable.
Spring went to Qiu Lai, three years passed quickly, and the school year was over. It's time to pack up, say goodbye to the teacher and go home. Classmate for three years, I fell in love with my brother Liang. Although Liang Shanbo didn't know that Zhu Yingtai was a girl, he admired her very much. They parted reluctantly and returned home, missing each other day and night. A few months later, I went to visit Zhu's family, which surprised and delighted him. It turned out that at this time, Zhu Yingtai he met was no longer the handsome little scholar, but a beautiful young girl. At the moment of goodbye, they all understood each other's feelings, and they were already soul mates.
After that, people were invited to visit relatives and friends in Zhujiajian. But I hope Mr w doesn't respect this poor scholar. He has betrothed his daughter to a rich young master, Ma Gongzi. Liang Shanbo was so desperate that he couldn't afford to get sick and died soon.
Hearing the news of Liang Shanbo's death, Zhu Yingtai, who had been opposed to arranged marriage with her parents, suddenly became unusually calm. She put on a red dress and got into the bride's sedan chair. The wedding team beat gongs and drums all the way, so lively! When I passed the cemetery of Liang Shanbo, suddenly sand and stones flew and the sedan chair had to stop. I saw Zhu Yingtai coming out of the sedan chair, taking off his red clothes, putting on plain clothes, walking slowly to the grave, kneeling down and crying loudly. At the moment, it was stormy and the grave cracked with a bang. Zhu Yingtai seemed to see her gentle face again, and she jumped in with a smile. Then there was a loud noise and the grave was closed. At this time, the wind dissipated. After the rain cleared, all kinds of wild flowers swayed gently in the wind, and a pair of beautiful butterflies flew out of the grave and danced freely in the sun.
The Legend of the White Snake, the Second of the Four Chinese Folk Stories
During the Qingming Festival, there are many flowers on the shore of the West Lake, and people fly in the upper reaches of the broken bridge in full of green. This is really a beautiful picture with bright spring. Suddenly, two beautiful girls climbed up from the bottom of the West Lake. What happened? How can people rise from the water? It turns out that they are two snake spirits who cultivate human beings. Even so, they are harmless to people's minds. Just because they envy the colorful life in the world, one changed its name to White Snake and the other to Xiaoqing, and came to visit the West Lake.
It happened that God suddenly lost his temper and it rained cats and dogs. Bai Niangzi and Xiaoqing were caught in the rain, and there was nowhere to hide. They're worried. Suddenly, all they felt was an umbrella overhead. When they turned around, they saw a gentle, fair and delicate young scholar holding an umbrella to shelter them from the wind and rain. Mrs. White Snake and the little scholar's eyes met, and they both blushed and appreciated each other. Xiaoqing looked in her eyes and said, "Thank you! What is your name, please? " Xiao Xiucai said, "My name is Xu Xian and I live near this broken bridge." White Snake and Xiaoqing also introduced themselves quickly. Since then, the three of them have met frequently, and the relationship between White Snake and Xu Xian is getting better and better. Not long after, they got married and opened a "Baohetang" pharmacy. Life is wonderful!
Because "Baohetang" has cured many incurable diseases, and it doesn't charge any money to treat the poor, the business of pharmacies is getting more and more prosperous, and more and more people come to the White Snake to treat diseases. People affectionately call the White Snake. However, the prosperity of Baohetang and the happy life of Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi annoyed a person. Who is it? That's the Fahai monk in Jinshan Temple. Because people's illness was cured by the white snake, fewer people went to Jinshan Temple to burn incense and ask for bodhisattva, and the incense was not prosperous, so Fahai monks would naturally be unhappy. On this day, he came to Baohetang again and saw the white snake treating people. He couldn't help being jealous, and then he took a closer look. Oh! It turns out that this white lady is not a mortal, but a white snake!
Although Fahai has a little magic, his mind is not normal. After seeing the identity of the white snake, he tried to break up the white snake couple and bring down Baohetang all day. So he secretly called Xu Xian to the temple and said to him, "Your wife is a snake spirit. Please break up with her quickly, or she will eat you! " When Xu Xian heard this, he was very angry. He thought, my wife is kind-hearted and has deeper feelings for me than the sea. Even if she is a snake spirit, she can't hurt me. Besides, she is pregnant now, how can I leave her! Fahai saw that Xu Xian had not been fooled and became angry from embarrassment, so he locked Xu Xian in the temple.
In Baohetang, White Snake is anxiously waiting for Xu Xian to come back. One day, two days, or so, the white lady was in a hurry. Finally, I found that Xu Xian was "left" by the Fahai monk in Jinshan Temple. White Snake hurried to Jinshan Temple with Xiaoqing and begged Fahai to put it back in Xu Xian. Fahai sneered when he saw the white snake: "Bold snake, I advise you to leave this world as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!" Seeing that Fahai refused to let people go, the white snake had to tear off the golden hairpin from her head, shake it in the wind, set off rough waves and push it towards Jinshan Temple. When Fahai saw that the water was flooding the Jinshan Temple, he quickly took off his cassock and turned it into a long embankment, which was stopped outside the temple gate. When the water rises by one foot, the long embankment rises by one foot. When the water rises by one foot, the long embankment rises by one foot. No matter how big the waves are, they can't cross. Plus the white snake is pregnant, it's really impossible to beat Fahai. Later, Fahai used fraudulent means to put the white snake in a golden bowl and put it under the Leifeng Tower, so that the loving couple Xu Xian and the white snake were separated alive.
Xiaoqing escaped from Jinshan Temple and practiced in the mountains for decades. Finally, she defeated Fahai, forced him into the belly of a crab and rescued the white snake. Since then, she has lived happily with Xu Xian and their children, and never separated.
The third of the four Chinese folk stories: Cowherd and Weaver Girl
Cowherd only has an old cow and a plow. He goes to plow at dawn every day and cooks and washes clothes by himself when he gets home. Life is hard. Unexpectedly, one day, a miracle happened! When Cowherd came home from work, he came into the room and saw that the room was clean, his clothes were washed clean, and there were hot and delicious meals on the table. Cowherd opened his eyes wide in surprise and thought, What's going on? Did the gods come to earth? Let's eat first anyway.
For the next few days, every day Cowherd lost his temper, and he had to get to the bottom of it. On this day, Cowherd went out early in the morning as usual. In fact, he took a few steps and then turned back. Instead of entering the house, he found a hidden place to hide and secretly observe. Sure enough, before long, a beautiful girl came. As soon as she came in, she was busy cleaning the house and cooking, not to mention how hard it was! Cowherd has no choice. He stood up and said, "Girl, why did you come to help me with the housework?" The girl was taken aback, blushed and whispered, "My name is Weaver Girl. Seeing that your life is hard, I will help you. " The cowherd was very happy and quickly said, "Then you can stay. We will share weal and woe and build a happy life together with our hands! " The weaver girl blushed and nodded. They became husband and wife and lived happily together.
After a few years, they gave birth to two children, a man and a woman, and the family lived happily. One day, suddenly, the sky was overcast, the wind was blowing hard, lightning and thunder broke out, the weaver girl disappeared, and the two children kept crying. Cowherd was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. When I was in a hurry, the dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and the weather became sunny again. When Weaver returned home, her face was covered with dark clouds. I saw her holding the Cowherd gently, holding the two children in her arms and saying, "Actually, I am not a mortal, but the granddaughter of the Queen Mother. Now, the people in the Heavenly Palace will take me back. Take care! " Say that finish, tears, clouds.
Cowherd, holding two young children, wanted to cry and stood for a long time. No, I can't let my wife leave me like this. I can't let my child lose his mother like this. I am going to find her. I have to get Vega back. At this time, the old cow suddenly spoke: "Don't be sad! You kill me, put on my skin, weave two baskets with two children, and then you can go to the heavenly palace to find the weaver girl. " Cowherd said that he didn't want to treat this partner who had been with him for decades like this, but he couldn't beat it, and there was no other way, so he had to endure the pain and do as it said with tears.
When she arrived in the Heavenly Palace, the Queen Mother didn't want to recognize Cowherd, the grandson-in-law of the world, and wouldn't let the Weaver Girl come out to see him. Instead, she found seven women who covered their faces and were about the same height and height, and said to the cowherd, "You recognize it, and I will let you see it if you recognize it correctly." Cowherd looks like a fool, but the two children in his arms are happy to run to his mother. Nothing can stop the blood relationship between mother and son!
The Queen Mother had no choice but to refuse to let the Weaver Girl return to earth, so she ordered the Weaver Girl to be taken away. Cowherd was in a hurry and led two children to catch up quickly. They run and run, but they won't stop when they are tired. When they fell, they stood up again. Seeing that they were about to catch up, the Queen Mother pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and drew a wide galaxy among them. Since then, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only stand at the two ends of the Milky Way, far away from each other. Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, thousands of magpies fly back and build a long magpie bridge on the Milky Way to reunite the cowherd and the weaver girl.
Four China folktales: Meng Jiangnu cries at the Great Wall.
In the Qin Dynasty, there was a kind and beautiful woman named Meng Jiangnv. One day, when she was doing housework in her yard, she suddenly found a man hiding under the grape trellis, which startled her and was about to shout. I saw the man waving his hand again and again, pleading, "Don't shout, don't shout, help me!" " My name is Fan Xiliang, and I'm here to escape. "It turned out that Qin Shihuang arrested people everywhere to do coolies in order to repair the Great Wall. I don't know how many people died of starvation! Meng Jiangnv saved Fan Xiliang. When she saw that he was sensible and had fine features, she fell in love with him, and Fan Xiliang fell in love with Meng Jiangnv. They are soul mates, and with the consent of their parents, they are ready to get married.
On the wedding day, Meng's family was decorated with lanterns and decorations, beaming with joy. Seeing that it was getting dark, the people who drank the wedding banquet gradually dispersed. The bride and groom were about to enter the bridal chamber when they heard a chicken fly and a dog bark. Then a group of vicious officers and men broke in. It's hard to say that they chained Fan Xiliang and took him to work in the Great Wall. The happy event went up in smoke, and Meng Jiangnv was filled with grief and indignation, missing her husband day and night. She thought that instead of sitting at home in a hurry, I would go to the Great Wall to find him myself. Yes! Do it! Meng Jiangnu immediately packed her bags and set off.
Along the way, I don't know how much wind, frost, rain and snow I have experienced and how many steep mountains and rivers I have trekked. Meng Jiangnv never cried a bitter word or shed a tear. Finally, with tenacious perseverance and deep love for her husband, she reached the Great Wall. At this time, the Great Wall is already a long wall composed of construction sites. Meng Jiangnv looked everywhere from one construction site to another, but never saw her husband. Finally, she summoned up her courage and asked a group of migrant workers who were about to go to work: "Do you have Fan Xiliang here?" Migrant workers said: "There is such a person, a newcomer." Hearing this, Meng Jiangnv was extremely happy! She quickly asked again, "Where is he?" The migrant workers said, "They are dead, and the bodies have been filled at the foot of the city!" " "
Suddenly hearing the bad news was like a bolt from the blue. Meng Jiangnv only felt black at the moment and burst into tears. I cried for three days and nights, and I cried so dark that even the sky was moved. It's getting dark and the wind is getting stronger and stronger. There was a loud crash, and a section of the Great Wall cried down, revealing its corpse. Meng Jiangnv's tears dripped on his bloody face. She finally met her beloved husband, but he never saw her again because he had been killed by the cruel Qin Shihuang.
