the legend of purse peony
it is said that in the Ming dynasty, Zhuangdan Township in Caozhou was full of flowers, but there were no purse peony at that time. There is a florist named Zhao An in Mudan Township, Cao Zhou. His daughter, Chunrui, is at the age of eighteen. She is handsome and clever, and she is a first-class talent. She walked among the flowers, and all the flowers had to hang their heads and hide their faces. Everyone called her "Shame Flowers". Chunrui is also very hardworking, getting up early and going to bed late every day, watering and weeding, and trimming the flowers. Everyone talks about her and praises her.
Chunrui and Qiu Sheng, a young man from a neighboring village, are congenial. During the day, they work together, talking and laughing, and at night, under the flowers and the moon, they pour out their infatuation to each other.
however, the weather is unpredictable. One day, the two of them were working in the field when the government officers came to catch Ding. Anthony wong struggled to break free, and Chunrui tried to stop it, but it didn't help. Anthony wong and several boys in the village were taken away by the officers. Chunrui was extremely sad and shouted loudly. At the moment, the sky was dark and the birds flew in surprise.
In this way, a pair of mandarin ducks were ruthlessly separated. Chunrui lost her lover, and she was so lonely that she missed her all day long, and I didn't know how many tears she shed. However, when she went to Qiu Lai in spring, she never waited for her sweetheart to return.
Later, Chunrui decided to embroider a purse for her lover to give to him when he came back. So she carefully selected the wool and sewed it. At night, facing the lonely lamp, she embroidered and sang: < P > Holding the silk in her left hand and the needle in her right hand, she reported that the wool was heart to heart.
Embroidery has a deep affection for Yuanyang, but the stick can't fly.
Embroider the Phoenix Opera Peony again, and it will be rich and glorious for thousands of years.
Although the lotus bud is small and affectionate, a lotus bud is all of my heart.
Chunrui put all her efforts and feelings into her purse. After embroidery, she put it in her arms and let it cling to her warm heart. When Anthony comes back, she will give it to him and have a wonderful life.
However, just when the peony blossoms in spring, the magistrate of Cao Zhou came to enjoy the flowers. Seeing that Chunrui has the appearance of "closing the moon and feeling ashamed of flowers", she has a heart of occupation. The next day, he sent someone with a heavy bride price to propose marriage. However, He Chunrui was loyal to love, refused on the spot, and gave the bearer a good scolding.
When the magistrate became angry from embarrassment, he refused to give up, so he had evil thoughts and came to rob his relatives in the middle of the night.
On this night, officers and men surrounded Chunrui's garden. She knew that it was difficult to get away, so she decided to throw herself into the well.
After dawn, the villagers tearfully fished Chunrui's body out of the well and buried it among the flowers.
three years later, Anthony wong escaped from the jaws of death and finally returned to his hometown where he missed it day and night. He never imagined that Chunrui had passed away. He ran to Chunrui's grave and cried bitterly, and the birds in the tree stopped singing.
suddenly, Anthony wong heard the noise, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a strange flower growing on the grave. A string of pink flowers, shaped like lotus flowers, is very beautiful. After the villagers learned about it, they also came to watch it. Everyone said that this is the appearance of Chunrui, which brought Anthony wong a purse. So everyone named this flower "Pocket Flower", and later, it was also called "Pocket Peony". As a result, this faithful love story is still circulating in Peony Township.
