Brief folklore. Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!

The origin of the Miao Fish Killing Festival.

On the ninth day of March every year, it is the "Fish Killing Festival" of the Miao people living in Longli, Guiding, Fuquan and other places in Guizhou. On this day, people come to the river, fork a fresh fish from the river, set up an iron pot, burn a bonfire, boil the fresh fish with river water, drink rice wine, worship the sky and pray for rain, and wish the wind and rain to be smooth and the grain abundant. There is also a legend about this day.

A long time ago, there was a very beautiful princess, she was smart and clever, and she was superhuman. The king of heaven is pampered like a pearl in the palm of his hand. One day, the princess suddenly fell ill, and the heavenly prince was very anxious, so he sent the heavenly soldiers and generals to send the elixir of the heavenly palace, picked the Ganoderma lucidum grass from Kunlun Mountain, dug up the ginseng baby of Changbai Mountain, and fished out the pearls of the sea.

But none of these medicines cured the princess's illness. Seeing that the princess's condition was getting worse day by day, the prince was so anxious that he didn't think about tea and dinner. Later, when the prince heard that "a hundred fish in the rivers of the world can cure a hundred diseases", he immediately sent the gods to the mortal world, caught a hundred kinds of fish from the rivers, lakes and seas, boiled them into soup, and served them to the princess.

After the princess ate it, she was cured of her illness in a few days. In order to thank the fish for saving their lives, the Heavenly King ordered to protect the fish in the rivers, lakes and seas, and not to harm them at will. The Lord of Heaven also ordered the rain god to rain all the rain into the rivers, lakes and seas, and not to give a drop to humans.

At this time, there was a great drought in the world, and the Miao family was very worried. So, the villagers killed pigs, slaughtered cattle, and sacrificed to the sky for rain. However, the Heavenly King is still a drop of water.

Nor to humans. Finally, the pigs and cattle are slaughtered, and on the ninth day of the third month, the villagers catch some carp, silver carp, salmon, crucian carp and baby fish from the rivers, lakes and seas to replace the pigs and cattle offerings, and pray for rain. Who knows, the Heavenly King saw that the world killed his enyum alive, and thought of the fish's life-saving grace to his daughter, and couldn't help but cry bitterly.

He cried for three days and three nights, and the clouds were rolling, the wind was fierce, and the lightning was thundering. The tears of the Heavenly Lord turned into a downpour and fell from the sky. The rain rained for three days and three nights, flooding the farmland and moistening the vegetation.

Until now, the flat slope of Jiuli, the bright of Guiding, and the Miao people of Xin'an Village in Fuquan have to go to the river to kill fish on the ninth day of March every year.

Shuozhou Pinglu under the head, another mountain village: Erlang Shentan Mountain, stop, abandon the soil of the double shoes into two mountains, because of the name of another mountain.

Only Meng Jiangnu cried on the Great Wall.

The Legend of the White Snake - The White Lady and Xu Xian.

The legend and origin of the year.

Folklore: "Nian" is a monster. Its body is big and fat, its one-horned is like a knife, it walks like the wind, it hurts people when it sees people, it hurts animals when it sees animals, it runs rampant everywhere, and there is no peace in the world.

Later, the Jade Emperor sent the gods to lock the "year" into the deep mountains and old forests (uninhabited places), and only allowed it to come out of the mountains once a year (because in the earliest days, most crops were ripe once a year, and harvesting once was a year).

Coincidentally, on the last day of the lunar month, the "Nian" suddenly came out of the mountain, and people and animals suffered major injuries.

In order to avoid the "New Year", people prepare food, vegetables and other edible items in advance every year, and do not go out of the house to hide at home.

Especially on the last night of the lunar month, the family closed the door tightly and did not sleep all night, just afraid that the "New Year" would come suddenly.

Later, people learned that "Nian" was afraid of red, fire, and sound. Therefore, at the end of the year every year, people paint red on the door, burn bamboo or knock on the clay pot in front of the door, and light pine and torches in the house, so that the "Nian" does not dare to enter the village.

Some starved to death in the mountains, and some "Nian" ran out and were rounded up and killed.

After defeating the scourge of "Nian", people are naturally happy and cheerful, so they make "Nian" meat into dishes, and everyone gathers together to drink and eat meat to celebrate.

Later, although there was no harm from the "year", people preserved some of the methods to defeat the "year".

With the progress of human beings and social civilization, the red burning bamboo, knocking on pottery, lighting pine and torches on the door have been changed to pasting couplets, setting off firecrackers, beating gongs and drums, and putting up lanterns.

The hunting and killing of the "year" is divided into the killing of the New Year's pig to eat soup.

Hiding the "New Year" and not daring to sleep has turned it into sitting at night to welcome the New Year.

Of course, this is just folklore.

In ancient times, there was a monster called "Nian", with a sharp head and horns, and it was extremely ferocious. Nian has always lived deep at the bottom of the sea, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he will climb ashore to devour livestock and harm people. Therefore, every Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone helps the old and the young to flee to the mountains to avoid the harm of the "year".

Until one year, on Chinese New Year's Eve, when everyone fled the village as usual, a white-haired old man stayed. When "Nian" was about to break into the village and wreak havoc, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers, and "Nian" trembled and never dared to enter the village again. Then the white-haired old man appeared in front of "Nian" in a robe, and "Nian" fled in panic.

It turned out that the "year" was most afraid of red, fire and explosions. Since then, every Chinese New Year's Eve, every household has posted red couplets, set off firecrackers, and every household is brightly lit and waits for the new year. Finally, it was transformed into the most solemn traditional festival in China: the Spring Festival.

In ancient times, people called the growth cycle of the valley "year". Hebu": "Year, the grain is ripe:.

In the Xia Shang era, the summer calendar was produced, with the cycle of the moon being full and missing as the month, the year is divided into twelve months, the day when the moon is not seen as the new moon, the first day of the new moon is called the first year, that is, the beginning of the year, also called the year, the name of the year is from the Zhou Dynasty, until the Western Han Dynasty was officially fixed, and has continued to this day.
