The story of Nuwa and Fuxi
The story of Nuwa and Fuxi is as follows:
In the past, heaven and earth were connected. After crossing the Eastern Sea in the east and the Kunlun Mountains in the west, we reached both ends of the Tianhe River, called Nanfang and In the north, there is a checkpoint each, called Nantianmen and Beitianmen. Anyone who crosses the Tianhe River or enters the Beitian Gate of Nanyao will enter the world of the gods.
One day, the Jade Emperor felt very uncomfortable. The Queen Mother left Yaochi in a hurry and went to the Jade Palace to visit the patient. I saw the Jade Emperor's eyebrows furrowed into a wild figure, and he kept sighing, so he asked the Jade Emperor why he was unhappy.
The Jade Emperor said, "Alas! You see, mortals are becoming more and more intelligent. One day I will not be able to take the position of Emperor of Heaven!"
The Queen Mother comforted the Jade Emperor. "Don't worry too much. Mortals can't cross the sea in the east, and can't climb the mountains in the west. With Holy Emperor Si Tian guarding the pass in the south and Emperor Zhenwu blocking the way in the north, how can they get to the sky?
"My ten Nine sky lanterns (the sun) were shot black by them. Maybe one day they will shoot arrows into my Lingxiao Palace. ”
“Mortals will suffer disaster once in five hundred years, and gods will come to earth once in five hundred years. Let me go to the mortal world for you!"
The Queen Mother said goodbye to the Jade Emperor and came to the human world, becoming a beggar. She wanted to test the good and evil of mortals and see if the Jade Emperor was the real one. She was looking for trouble. She was scolded by her boss, and scolded by her boss. The old man in the upper room chased her away with a cane, and the young man in the lower room let the vicious dog bite her. She said in a tone of voice, "There is really no good person in the world, and mortals are really going to be robbed!"
She walked to the river and met two brothers and sisters who had no parents and no home. The elder brother was named Fuxi, and the younger sister was named Nv. They lived on the boat and made a living by spearing fish. Fuxi saw that Grandma Chonghua was pitiful and wanted to keep her as the mother-in-law of his brothers and sisters. Nuwa saw that Grandma Chonghua was pitiful and treated her with rice and fresh fish. She sighed again. He said in one breath, "There are still good people in the world. People should be robbed, but they should not become extinct." "
She told the two brothers and sisters, "The sky is going to bring disaster. You should prepare enough firewood and rice and hide in the boat. Don't get out." When a natural disaster strikes, you can only save animals, not people. Remember, remember! "After finishing her instructions, she left the Fuxi and Nuwa brothers and sisters and came to Quelong Mountain.
There was a big black dragon sleeping in the Quelong Mountain Cave. It would sleep for five hundred years, and when it woke up, it would break out into the great world. Woe. The Queen Mother woke it up and ordered it to collect all the people in the world and then come back to sleep. The black dragon was woken up from its drowsiness, and it was so angry that it didn't dare to show up in front of the Queen Mother.
I rushed out of the cave, drove up the dark clouds, and took a bath at the edge of the Tianhe River. After holding my breath, I went back to sleep in the cave.< /p>
As soon as Fuxi and Nuwa filled a boat of firewood and rice, it rained continuously for seven or forty-nine days, and the water filled the gap in the Tianhe River. The boat was drifting in the flood, and a man floated to the side of the boat. Seeing that he was pitiful, the brother and sister ignored the Queen Mother's instructions and rescued him on the boat. Later, they also rescued a turtle and a dog. He took the turtle and the dog up the mountain to find a place to stay. The man guarding the boat was a heartless guy. When Fuxi and Yao Nuwa came up the mountain, he secretly drove the boat away.
The brother and sister took the harpoon and searched around. They found Quelong Cave and thought it was a good place to stay. They were about to go down and move firewood into the cave. The dog had a good nose and smelled a strange smell in the cave. So he whispered to his brother and sister, "Go in and get rid of the monster. If you don't kill it, let alone we live in a cave, we won't even be able to survive." ”
The brother and sister turned around and entered the cave, and saw the black dragon sleeping snoringly. The two harpoons struck together, Nuwa’s harpoon pierced the black dragon’s throat, and Fuxi’s harpoon opened the black dragon’s belly. . The black dragon was fatally injured and rushed out of the cave in pain. Suddenly the mountain shook and the ground shook. The place where the black dragon rolled became a winding muddy river, and the flood flowed in along with this river. The black dragon rolled into the sea and died. The Queen Mother's words that "everyone will suffer a disaster once in five hundred years" could not be fulfilled. This river is the famous Yellow River.
They came down the mountain to move firewood and rice, but they didn't know that the floodwater was gone and the boat was also gone. The two brothers thought that the boat guard had been killed by the black dragon, and Nuwa cried loudly. Then they took the turtle and the dog to live in the house. In the cave, he lived by hunting in the mountains and fishing in rivers. His clothes were too worn out, so he used tree leaves to cover his ugly face in hot weather and animal skins to keep out the cold.
One day, Fuxi said to Nuwa, "In the world. There is no one else, people will become extinct, let’s get married!"
Nuwa said, "I am a sister and you are a brother. Brothers and sisters are born from the same mother. Even if the world becomes extinct, brothers and sisters cannot form a union. relative. "
When the brother and sister couldn't argue, they called the dog to judge.
The dog said, "Two flowers bloom, male and female, one vine and one root. If they want to bloom and bear fruit, brother and sister must They should get married. "
Nuwa was not convinced and called the turtle to ask again.
The turtle said, "The clouds and rain are rising from the sky and falling to the ground. The grass and trees are blooming and full of life. The father is the sky and the mother is the earth. Brothers and sisters should be together." couple. ”
Nuwa was still dissatisfied and said to Fuxi, “Let’s run around a hill. If you catch me, I will be your wife.” "
Nuwa ran in front, and Fuxi chased after her. From the time the sun rose to the time when the sun turned to the west, she still couldn't catch up. The turtle said to Fuxi, "If she runs, you can run too. I've been chasing her since I was young. To old age.
If you don't run away, catch her. ”
Fuxi believed Wu Gui’s words and hid behind the rocks and stopped chasing. When Nuwa came closer, he came out and grabbed Nuwa. The two brothers and sister got married. Therefore, in many places now Husbands and wives still refer to each other as brother and sister.
