Folktales Intangible Cultural Heritage

Classification and arrangement: stories, legends, allusions, operas, anecdotes, jokes, songs, etc., is a huge project. The simplest and most trouble-free way is to record first and then sort it out, so as not to cause irreparable losses.

There is already such a precedent, an old folk artist in Shaanxi, when he feels that he is a national treasure, he has already passed away when he sends someone to excavate! Thanks friend for being prescient!!

It's best to look for the nearest cultural center or history museum, and each county or city has a cultural bureau, so you can try to ask them for help.

Dear, hello, I am glad to serve you: Chinese folk tales include "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", "Meng Jiangnu Crying on the Great Wall", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Legend of the White Snake", "The Legend of the West Lake Longjing" and so on. The Qixi Festival has always been connected with the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which is a very beautiful love story that has been passed down through the ages, and has become one of the four major folk love legends in China.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a smart person in the West Niujiazhuang in Nanyang City. Loyal young man, his parents died early, so he had to live with his brother and sister-in-law, sister-in-law Ma was vicious, often abused him, forced him to do a lot of work, one autumn, sister-in-law forced him to herd cattle, gave him nine cows, but let him wait for ten cows to go home, the cowherd had no choice but to drive the cow out of the village. The Cowherd drove the oxen into the mountain alone, and on the grassy and dense mountain, he sat under the tree and was sad, not knowing when he would be able to drive ten oxen home, and at this time, an old man with white hair appeared in front of him, and asked him why he was sad, and when he learned what had happened to him, he said to him with a smile:

Don't be sad, there is an old cow that is sick in Funiu Mountain, you go and feed it well, and when the old cow is sick, you can drive it home. He saw that the old cow was very sick, so he went to fetch a bundle of grass for the old cow, and fed it for three days, and the old cow was full, so he raised his head and told him: He was originally a gray cow immortal in the sky, but he was demoted to the sky because he violated the rules of heaven, broke his leg, and could not move.

Their own injuries need to be washed with the dew of the flowers for a month to be good, the cowherd is not afraid of hard work, carefully took care of the old cow for a month, during the day for the old cow to pick flowers and receive dew to heal the injury, at night snuggled up to sleep next to the elderly, to the old cow after the illness, the cowherd happily drove ten cows home. After returning home, his sister-in-law was still not good to him, and tried to harm him several times, but Lao Niu tried to save him, and his sister-in-law was finally annoyed and ashamed. I wish you a happy life!

Hope mine is helpful to you ha.
