Classic folk tales for children: The best painter

In ancient times, there was an ugly king. Very narcissistic and cruel. Because mirrors had not been invented at that time, people could not figure out what they looked like, and because he was a king, no one dared to say that he looked ugly. Therefore, the narcissistic king always thought that he was a perfect beauty. man.

One day, the ugly king had the idea of asking someone to paint his portrait, so he sent someone to invite the best painter in the country. The painter was very excited when he heard that the king had asked him to paint a portrait. What an honor it is to be the first painter to paint a portrait of the king! The king is sitting on the throne with a majestic expression, and the painter is painting very seriously. As an excellent painter, of course, the more resembling the king is, the better.

The painter quickly painted a portrait that was exactly the same as the king. No one around the king dared to say that the painting resembled the king, because that would be tantamount to admitting the king's ugliness, which would not be good. It will also arouse the king's anger and even lead to death.

The attendant presented the portrait to the king. After seeing it, the king became furious and said: "You, a bold painter, dare to paint me so ugly. You are clearly vilifying me." Who's here! Take this damn painter out and behead him!? Without the painter's help, several guards took him out and beheaded him. But the portrait was not destroyed. It was kept as evidence of the king's vilification.

After some days, the king's mood gradually improved, and he wanted to send someone to ask a painter to paint his portrait again.

The second painter who was invited had long heard about the beheading of the first painter. He knew that his skills were not as good as the first painter, so he felt very nervous and nervous. Fear. Facing the ugly king, the second painter guessed that the first painter must have painted the ugly king too much, which aroused the king's anger and was beheaded. So, he tried his best to paint the ugly king as beautiful as possible.

The portrait was completed, and no one around the king dared to say anything to the portrait, because the king in this portrait was still ugly.

The attendant presented the portrait to the king. After seeing it, the king was very angry and said: "You, a clumsy painter, painted me like this. You are clearly making fun of me." Who are you! Drag this clumsy painter out and throw him into prison!? Without any explanation, the second painter was dragged out and thrown into prison by several guards. But the portrait was not destroyed, it was kept as evidence of teasing the king.

After some days, the king's mood improved again, and he wanted to send someone to ask a painter to paint his portrait again.

The third painter who was invited knew that his skills were far inferior to the first two painters, but he seemed to understand the reasons why the first two painters were beheaded and imprisoned.

So he pretended to copy the king on the throne very seriously, while allowing himself to draw a beautiful king wearing a crown.

A portrait that was completely different from the ugly king was quickly completed. No one around the king dared to say that the painter painted something other than the king, because that would mean that the king was not beautiful enough.

The attendant presented the portrait to the king. After seeing it, the king smiled and said: Handsome and beautiful enough, this is the real me. You are really an excellent painter. Who are you? Give this painter a hundred gold coins!? The third painter went home happily after receiving the generous reward.

The beautiful portrait brought a good mood to the Ugly King. From then on, he hired different painters to paint his portrait every day. With the different experiences of the first three painters, the painters invited by the king became smarter. They all tried their best to paint the ugly king into a perfect handsome man. Of course the Ugly King was happy to see it, so they all got very generous rewards.

Gradually, there were more and more portraits of the Ugly King, filling a large room. Facing these stunningly beautiful portraits, the Ugly King began to wonder: Among these vastly different portraits, which portrait depicts the real me?

It was such a coincidence that someone quickly The mirror was invented. As the supreme king, there is never any shortage of rare things. The Ugly King soon obtained a very fine mirror. He looked in the mirror, and there was an ugly king looking back at him in the mirror. He pointed angrily at the Ugly King in the mirror, and the Ugly King in the mirror pointed at him angrily. He patted his forehead, and the ugly king in the mirror patted his forehead. He pinched his nose, and the ugly king in the mirror also pinched his nose. He stuck out his tongue, and the ugly king in the mirror also stuck out his tongue. Then use the mirror to look at the tables, chairs, calligraphy and paintings in the house, and the flowers, birds, fish and insects in the garden. The things in the mirror are exactly the same as the things outside the mirror. The king became convinced that the ugly king in the mirror was himself, and he became sad.

After some time, the king began to accept the fact that he was ugly, and he became less sad.

One day, the ugly king had a new idea. He decided to face the mirror to identify the mountains of portraits. He wanted to find the real himself among those portraits, so he ordered his attendants to take out all the portraits for him to identify. The attendant took out all the king's portraits, including the two ugly portraits that served as evidence of the crime.

Facing the mirror, the king discovered that those beautiful portraits were not of him at all. As he watched, he yelled that the painters who pleased him were detestable liars and should all be beheaded.

When the king saw the ugliest portrait, he felt that this portrait was the real one. Although it was very ugly, it was a lifelike portrait. So the king pointed to the ugly portrait and said to the attendant: "The person who painted this portrait is the best painter." Where is this painter now? I want to ask him to be the palace painter, and I want to give him a title. Go! Go and invite him to me!?

After hearing this, the attendant whispered to the king: ?Dear Your Majesty, you may have forgotten that this painter was beheaded by your order a long time ago. ?

Classic folk tales for children: The Legend of the Three Pagodas of Jiaxing

On the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal outside the west gate of Jiaxing, there are three pagodas standing side by side. This is the symbol of the ancient city of Jiaxing. The so-called Jiaxing Three Pagodas. Seen from a distance, the three pagodas are integrated into one, standing majestic and majestic. As everyone knows, it is precisely because of this treasure that the ancient city of Jiaxing has prospered and prospered.

People can’t help but ask, why is this, and why are there three pagodas standing side by side on the river? This is really a long story for a child without a mother, and the story has to come from ancient Jiaxing. Let's talk about the folk water sports event "White Boat".

In ancient times, Jiaxing was an important town on the banks of the Jiangnan River. It was called Jiahe in ancient times. Jiangnan River refers to the Jiangnan Canal, which is today's Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. At that time, the people in Jiahe were simple and lived in peace and contentment. Every year on the 16th day of the third lunar month, in order to worship the Silkworm God, a folk custom activity of "Stepping on a White Boat" is held. "Stepping on the White Boat", also known as "Rocking the Clipper", is popular in Jiahe Water Town and is a spontaneous folk activity.

The origin of the name is related to Song Dynasty general Yue Fei. According to legend, Zongze appreciated Yue Fei's talent and loyalty and appointed him as the "Tabai Envoy". In order to encourage rowers to participate in the boat race with Yue Fei's fearless spirit, this event is called "White Boat".

When the day comes for the White Boat Race, even the Jiahe government has issued an order that all waterways for the White Boat Race are closed to navigation. This shows that this move is by no means limited to entertainment.

It is said that on the 16th day of March this year, on the birthday of the Silkworm God, silkworm farmers from all over the countryside gathered in boats to the Bailongtan section of Jiahe in Jiangnan River. Because the river here is wider, villagers have always been here. Held once a year "White Boat".

Looking from a distance, Bailongtan and Jiangnan River are connected together, with wide waters and rippling blue waves. At the beginning of the race, I saw the boats chasing each other on the water like arrows from their bows. At this time, some people say that the fastest boat is good, while others say that it is not only the boat that is good, but also the life that is good. In fact, this boat is a common agricultural boat in Jiahe Water Town. This kind of boat has a slightly longer hull and an arc-shaped bottom. It has very little wading resistance, but has poor left and right stability when it rolls sharply. The villagers call it "live". Therefore, this made "White Boat" a fast and thrilling performance.

After a while, a modified boat took the lead. The stern of this boat is covered with wooden planks; two pipa oars are installed on the stern, and two people can row together; five or six rows of wooden oars are placed on both sides of the cabin door, and each person has one oar, and the combined force is Rowing; there is a village flag on the bow of the boat. On the side, the ship with a yellow tooth flag did not give way. Sometimes they are racing faster, which is called "dry tread" here; sometimes they are competing for danger, and here they are called "water tread". The two boats were of equal strength, and they were chasing each other in a fierce race.

Just as the two boats were chasing Zhenghuan, the boat with the village flag sailed into Bailongtan first. I saw a monk on the shore waving his hands and shouting: "Stop rowing." Hurry up and get ashore!?

Didn't you know that as soon as he said the word "shore", he saw a huge wave rising from the bottom of the water, throwing the boat with the village flag into the sky, and suddenly it fell down again. In an instant, both people and the boat overturned and fell into the water. This scene happened so suddenly that people watching on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were shocked. Was there some blow to the river, or was there some monster in the water? But everything went away as quickly as it came. After a while, the river returned to calm.

At this time, I saw the monk on the shore chanting "Amitabha" while still shouting: "The boats in the river should dock quickly! The boats in the river should dock quickly!" ?

When all the boats docked, the villagers gathered around the monk and asked what was going on. The monk said: Amitabha, if I guessed correctly, there is a dragon doing evil in the White Dragon Pond. ?

The dragon committed evil? When the monk said this, the villagers suddenly thought of something. Some people have heard that ships often disappear inexplicably when passing by Bailongtan. Is it related to the dragons in Bailongtan?

This way, not only the answer comes out, but also to these villagers. The people were a little more frightened. Suddenly, the helpless villagers regarded the monk as a god and kowtowed one after another: Great Master, please save us!

The monk said: I was just passing by here. Seeing this scene, I suddenly became suspicious. ?

Someone asked: ?Where is the master from?

?I am not a master, my name is Xiaoyi, I come from Hanshan Temple. ?

When they found out that he was from Hanshan Temple in Suzhou, everyone was even more in awe of him. The villagers knelt down and begged him to remove this great scourge for the Jiahe people.

I saw Xiao put his hands together and said "Amitabha" and then said: "I think the only way is to build a pagoda beside the White Dragon Pond to calm this dragon." ?

Building pagodas to suppress disasters and evil spirits? When the villagers heard this, it made sense. They built pagodas according to Feng Shui to suppress evil spirits. This has precedents in various places. So someone immediately reported the matter to the local government. At this time, the government was also worried about the inexplicable disappearance of ships in Bailongtan. Now they heard that a master from Hanshan Temple said that a tower could be built to suppress disasters and evil spirits, and they immediately approved the construction.

Just do it, and a few months later, a seven-story hexagonal pagoda was erected on the riverside of Bailongtan.

One evening not long after, a boat passing by Bailongtan was overturned by a sudden huge wave. In an instant, the boat and people sank to the bottom of the pool. The cyclone whipped up huge waves and destroyed the pagoda. The top of the head was also torn off.

For a time, there was a roar of wind up and down Jiahe. Not only ships did not dare to go here, but even passersby walked around.

? What is going on? Some people said, ? Could it be that the monk from Hanshan Temple is fake?

Others said: ? Let’s go to Hanshan Temple if it’s fake? knew. Even if he is not here, we can still burn incense and worship Buddha, ask Bodhisattvas for blessings, and then ask eminent monks and wizards to cast spells on us to kill this harmful dragon, otherwise we, Jiahe, will never have peace. ?

So the villagers came to Hanshan Temple one after another. Unexpectedly, when they entered the mountain gate, they were greeted by the monk Xiaoyi. At this time, no one dared to talk nonsense. They all shouted "Master Xiaoyi, Master Xiaoyi" as if they were seeing relatives.

When Xiaoyi heard the villagers’ reasons and realized that the pagoda not only failed to calm the dragon, but instead allowed it to collapse, he immediately realized that the dragon’s cultivation was not shallow, so he took the pagoda with him. The villagers paid homage to Master Xingyun, the abbot of Hanshan Temple.

Master Xingyun calculated with his fingers and said: "I have been to White Dragon Pond, but with the dragon's way here, a single tower can no longer hold it down!"

Then What should we do? The villagers asked anxiously, "Isn't there any way to cure it?"

"There are ways," Master Xingyun nodded and said, "The first is to transport soil to fill the pond," The second is that three pagodas must be built to suppress the dragon. ?

?Build three pagodas?

?There is an old saying that there are only three things that can be done. Building three pagodas can not only suppress the dragon, but also ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters for Jiahe. Come to blessing. Master Xingyun told them, "You should go back and discuss it. I will work with you to transport soil and fill the pond on the day when construction starts." ?

When the villagers heard this, they felt reassured and went home to prepare to fill the pond.

Soon, the project of moving earth to fill the pond and building three towers started. Master Xingyun kept his promise and worked with the Jiahe villagers to transport earth to fill the pond and build the tower.

On the day when the three pagodas were erected in Bailongtan, the red sun was shining high over Jiahe, and firecrackers, gongs and drums were ringing loudly. I saw a golden light covering the tops of the three pagodas, and the villagers cheered that Jiahe would be harmless from now on.

At this time, Master Xingyun asked people to bring two stone pillars and erected them heavily in front of the three pagodas.

The villagers were surprised and asked: Why is this?

Master Xingyun said: First, nail the evil dragon under this stone pillar forever; second, These two stone pillars stand in front of the three pagodas. They also have a protective effect on the three pagodas and are tower-protecting pillars. ?Now judging from the traces on the stone pillars, it is indeed true what Master Xingyun said at the beginning.

From that time on, the three pagodas erected by the Jiangnan River looked particularly majestic and solemn. When ships passing by saw the three pagodas, they knew they had arrived in Jiahe.

After the three towers were erected, the dragon was indeed suppressed, and there was no more trouble.

Jiahe's annual "White Boat" event is still going on, and it's even more popular than before, even "Female Stepping" has appeared. Here, women's participation is called "women's competition". Since then, the Three Towers have become the symbol of the Grand Canal and the ancient city of Jiaxing.
