Legend of Luban Folklore of an ancient skilled craftsman. Lu Ban was a craftsman in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He has excellent skills and is a native of Lu, so later people called him "Luban (general)".
It is recorded in ancient books and in some notes and chronicles. The Warring States period was originally a historical figure, but it gradually became a legendary figure among the people.
There are roughly two types of legends about Luban. One is to tell the story of his invention and creation. The other is the story of his construction of famous bridges, temples, temples and other buildings in various places.
Generations of craftsmen wanted to improve their ability to conquer nature and improve their craft, imagining Luban as a technician with miraculous skills and infinite wisdom. The respect of carpenters, bricklayers, and stonemasons for Lu Ban in the old era is also reflected in their folk activities, and they worship him as the "ancestor" to build temples and worship him. The legend of Luban played a great role in educating and uniting artisans.
Refers to the legend about the Red Army during the Second Civil Revolutionary War. It is an oral creation of the people of the old revolutionary base. It was widely spread in Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningbo, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other old revolutionary base areas.
Against the backdrop of the magnificent armed revolutionary struggle led by the Communist Party of China, it depicts the life of the agrarian revolution and struggle during the Second Civil Revolutionary War, and warmly praises the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.
The legend of the Red Army embodies the revolutionary discipline, fine work style, and new military-civilian relations of the Red Army, and reflects the position of the Red Army in the minds of the people. The content can be divided into two categories: one is to express the process of the people's understanding of the Red Army, which contains the infinite affection of the people.
Such as "Strange Yard" and so on. The other type of imaginary technique with the help of legends expresses the longing of the masses of the people in the old revolutionary base areas for the Red Army and their confidence in the victory of the revolution. Such as "Red Star Kettle", "Red Army Cap" and so on.
The legend of the Red Army has a clear revolutionary consciousness and a strong revolutionary atmosphere, and its basic theme is not only to praise the Red Army, but also to praise the revolutionary leaders and the mass struggle. The legends of the Red Army often use traditional stories to give magical power to the Red Army's legacy. With this kind of artistic imagination, the creator expressed the firm belief that the masses of the people and the revolutionary forces would eventually defeat the counter-revolutionary forces, fused the revolutionary thoughts and feelings with the unique techniques of legends and stories, and presented the characteristics of combining revolutionary realism and revolutionary romanticism.
Because the legend of the Red Army expressed the deep feelings of the people for the revolutionary army, it was also circulated in the later War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and had a great impact.

There are gods on the head of the three feet.
South Street, Xingcheng City, Liaoning Province, there is a stone archway built by blue granite stones, it has been hundreds of years ago, but it is still very spectacular, only the top of the east is missing a corner. Why is a good stone archway missing a corner?
Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a fishmonger who sold fish in the torii alley. The fishmonger set up a fish stall under the stone archway, and there were many people who came and went in the aisle, and they all bought some fish from the fishmonger to eat at home, and for a while, the fishmonger's business was quite prosperous. But as the days went on, the fishmongers began to use their brains.
When selling fish, the fishmonger pressed the head of the scale with his little finger, obviously it was fourteen taels (in ancient times sixteen taels was one catty), he used his little finger to press down gently, and then moved the scale to a catty star, and the buyer saw that the scale was slightly higher, and he couldn't fix the star, so he happily bought the fish home.
The fishmonger thought he was clever, but after a long time, he was discovered by shrewd people. People began to talk about it, but instead of repenting, the fishmonger thought that he was a step ahead, ignored what others were saying about him, and turned a deaf ear to him and continued to do his deceitful business.
One day, the fishmonger was selling fish under the archway, and an old lady came to him with a bag of fish in her hand: "Fish seller, I just bought a pound of fish from you, and I went to the shop to weigh two taels, is there something wrong with your scale?" ”
When the fishmonger saw that he had come to the door, he knew that something was wrong, and saw that a few of the people who had been paying for the fish had put the money back in their pockets. Seeing this scene, the fishmonger raised his head and pointed to the stone archway and swore an oath: "I, a fishmonger, have been selling fish for so many years, if there is a shortage of catties or two, let the corner of the archway fall and smash me to death!"
As soon as the words fell, they heard a "click", people were startled, and when they came back to their senses, the corner of the stone archway that the fishmonger pointed at just now really fell, and the fishmonger had been stoned to death by the big stone corner.
This legend has been passed down to the present day, and the big stone corner that fell from the top of the stone archway and killed the fishmonger is still lying under the torii.
There are gods on the head of the three feet", no matter what people do, they are doing it for themselves, which is the heavenly principle that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, and I hope people can get a little inspiration from this folklore.
