Legend 1

Once upon a time, there was a lonely young farmer who made a living by farming for the landlord. He works at sunrise and returns at sunset every day, working hard. One day, he found a very big snail in the field. He was surprised and happy. He took it home, put it in a water tank and raised it carefully with water.

One day, the farmer went to work in the field as usual in the morning, but when he came home the next day, he found delicious rice on the stove, delicious fish and vegetables in the cupboard and boiling hot water in the teapot. Two days, three days ... every day, the farmer decided to make things clear. The next day, the rooster crowed everywhere. As usual, he went down to work with a hoe on his back. He hurried home at dawn to see who was kind. He saw the chimney on the roof of his house smoking in the distance, so he went forward to see who was cooking with his own eyes. But when he crept close to the door and looked in, there was no movement at home. When he walked in, he saw that the food on the table was delicious, the fire in the kitchen was still burning and the water in the pot was boiling. The enthusiastic chef disappeared before he could scoop it up.

One day has passed. The farmer got up early again, the rooster crowed and went home before dawn. Before the kitchen smoke rose, Xie Duan quietly approached the fence, hid in the dark, and watched everything in his room with rapt attention. After a while, he finally saw a beautiful young girl slowly coming out of the water tank, and her clothes were not slightly wet because of the water. The girl moved to the stove and began to cook and cook.

Seeing the truth, the young man ran into the door and walked to the water tank. When he saw it, the snail he picked up was just an empty shell. He looked at the empty shell again and again in surprise, then went to the fire and said to the young girl who was cooking, "Girl, where are you from?" Why did you help me cook? "The girl didn't expect him to appear at this time. After listening to his questioning about his life, she was surprised and didn't know what to do. The girl wanted to go back to the water tank, but she was blocked. The young farmer kept asking, but the young girl had no choice but to tell him the truth. She is a snail girl.

Young people like snail girl very much, and later they got married.

Leech essence likes snail girl very much. Seeing that the snail girl and the farmer were so good, she was jealous and decided to take the snail girl away. So she pretended to be a fortune teller and cheated the snail shell from her blind mother-in-law. With the snail shell, the snail girl was collected by leeches and could not get out of his hole. Farmers and their partners went to the hole of leech essence to save snail girl, but they were defeated by leech essence. Later, they thought of a way to sprinkle salt on leech essence. Leech essence is afraid of salt and finally dies in pain.

Snail girl and farmer live a happy life. A year later, she gave birth to a fat boy. In a blink of an eye, at the age of 5 or 6, she was playing with water by the river, and was later called the snail's child by her companion's children. "Fold, fold, fold, which female snail shell, ding, ding, which female snail essence." His son listened to others and hid his mother's shell, and the snail girl would never turn back into a snail.

Legend 2

During the Jin Dynasty, there was an orphan named Xie Duan in Houguan County. His parents died when he was very young, and his kind neighbors adopted him. Xie Duan is honest, hardworking and thrifty. When he was seventeen or eighteen, he didn't want to give his neighbors any more trouble, so he built a small house on the hillside and lived independently. Because his family is poor, he has never married a wife. Neighbors are very concerned about him, and they have helped him hook up several times, but they have not succeeded.

Xie Duan was not disappointed by this. He still works at sunrise every day, returns at sunset and works hard. One day, he found a very big snail in the field. He was surprised and happy. He took it home, put it in a water tank and raised it carefully with water.

One day, Xie Duan went to work in the field as usual in the morning, but when he got home, he found delicious rice on the stove, delicious fish and vegetables in the cupboard and boiling hot water in the teapot. He thought that some kind neighbor must have helped him cook.

Unexpectedly, I came back the next day like this. Two days, three days ... Xie Duan feels guilty every day and goes to the neighbor's house to thank him. He went to many homes, but the neighbors said they didn't do it. Why thank him? Xie Duan thought that this must be the kindness of his neighbor. He just thanked him again and again. The neighbors smiled and said, "You must have married yourself and hid at home to cook for you." Xie Duan listened and wondered. He can't think of a clue, so he wants to find out.

The next day, the rooster crowed everywhere. As usual, Xie Duan went down to work with a hoe. It was dawn, and he hurried home to see who the good-hearted man was. He saw the chimney on the roof of his house smoking in the distance, so he went forward to see who was cooking with his own eyes. But when he crept close to the door and looked in, there was no movement at home. When he walked in, he saw that the food on the table was delicious, the fire in the kitchen was still burning and the water in the pot was boiling. The enthusiastic chef disappeared before he could scoop it up.

One day has passed. Xie Duan got up early again. The rooster crowed in the field and went home before dawn. Before the kitchen smoke rose, Xie Duan quietly approached the fence, hid in the dark, and watched everything in his room with rapt attention. After a while, he finally saw a beautiful young girl slowly coming out of the water tank, and her clothes were not slightly wet because of the water. The girl moved to the stove and began to cook and cook.

Xie Duan really saw it, ran into the door and walked to the water tank. When he saw it, the snail he picked up was just an empty shell. He looked at the empty shell again and again in surprise, then went to the fire and said to the young girl who was cooking, "Girl, where are you from?" Why did you help me cook? "The girl didn't expect Xie Duan will appear at this time. She was surprised to hear him ask about her life, and didn't know what to do. The girl wanted to go back to the water tank, but she was blocked by Xie Duan. Xie Duan repeatedly asked, and the girl had to tell him the truth. It turns out that this girl is Motome, the water in the sky. Knowing that Xie Duan's parents died when he was a child, the Emperor of Heaven sympathized with him and sent a goddess to help him. Water Motome added: "God sent me to earth to cook and do housework for you. I want you to get rich, get married and get a good wife in ten years, and then I will reply in heaven. But now my mission has not been completed, but you know the secret. My cover was blown. Even if you promise not to tell, it is inevitable that others will know. I can't stay here any longer. I must go back to heaven. " After listening to the fairy's words, Xie Duan was very grateful and regretted it. He repeatedly invited Motome to stay. Water has made up its mind. Before he left, Shui said to Xie Duan, "Your life will be even sadder after I leave, but as long as you do farm work well, fish more and chop more firewood, your life will get better every day. I'll leave you the snail shell, and you can use it to store grain, so that the rice can live, and the rice in the shell can't be used up. "While speaking, I saw a strong wind outside, and then it rained heavily. In the rain, Motome said the last sentence and floated away.

Grateful for the kindness of the goddess, I specially made an idol for her and went to burn incense and thank humbly on holidays. And with the help of hard-working hands and the goddess, his days are booming day by day. A few years later, he married and became a county magistrate.

To thank Motome for its water, Xie Duan built a temple, which is today's Motome Temple.

During the reign of Emperor Jin 'an, Kitty Tse, a Hou Guan, lost his parents and was brought up by his neighbors. When I am seventeen or eighteen, I will be respectful and self-controlled and not illegal. When I first left home, I didn't have a wife, and my neighbors shared my thoughts. The rule is to marry a woman, but I didn't get it. Lie down and get up early at night, and try not to give up day and night. Then I got a big snail at the gate, such as a three-liter pot. Think of foreign bodies, return to danger, and store urns. Ten days for livestock. Every morning when I go to the wild, I find that there is food and drink in the house, if anyone cooks it. Others said that neighbors benefited from it. A few days later, I thanked my neighbor. The neighbor said, "I didn't do anything right at first. Why should I thank you?" Finally, he said that neighbors didn't mean what he meant, but he forgot. Later, he asked more truly. The neighbor smiled and said, "Your wife has taken care of herself and cooked in her room. I am cooking for her." In the end, I silently doubt, I don't know why. After the crow, he went out and slipped back early. He peeked at the house outside the fence and saw a girl coming out of the urn and making a fire under the stove. At the entrance, you can see snails in the urn, but you can see women. But he went to the kitchen and asked, "Where does the bride come from to cook for each other?" Confused, she wanted to put it back in the urn, but she couldn't go. She replied, "I am in Hanzhong and Baishui Sunv. The Emperor of Heaven mourned your loneliness, was respectful and cautious, so he gave me the job of cooking for the temple. In ten years, I made Qing rich and got married. I should go there. And Qing secretly peeked at me for no reason. I have seen my shape, so I shouldn't stay, so I should go to the Committee. Although, from now on when not so bad. Diligent farming, fishing to cure diseases. Leave this shell to store rice grains, and you can't lack it. " Please stay, but you won't. When it was raining and windy, he suddenly died. Finally, it was the establishment of the throne and the seasonal sacrifice. If you live long, you won't be rich. So the villagers married their wives. After the official as a long cloud. Motome Temple is also here.

The Legend of Ningbo Tangyuan

According to legend, in the spring of March, Lv Dongbin, the Eight Immortals, became an old man selling dumplings and peddled them by the West Lake. At this time, Xu Xian was passing by and asked for a bowl. Inadvertently, a dumpling rolled down the West Lake and was swallowed by the white snake. So the white snake became a fairy, a human being, and married Xu Xian. According to another legend, in 19 12, Yuan Shikai usurped the revolutionary achievements and became the great president. He wants to be emperor, but he is always on tenterhooks for fear of people's opposition. Because "Yuan" is homophony with "Yuan", "Xiao" and "Xiao", and "Yuan Xiao" is suspected of "Yuan Shikai's annihilation", Yuan Shikai ordered that the Yuanxiao be changed to glutinous rice balls before the Lantern Festival in 19 13. This is the origin of the legendary name of glutinous rice balls.

Legend of Songlai Mountain in Xiangshan, Ningbo

Lan Song used to be an unknown hill.

A long time ago, there was a rich man named Yu in Shangyu Village. His family has dozens of acres of mountains, hundreds of acres of mountains, and a three-masted fishing boat for Ke Yu. The rich often hire three or five fishermen to go fishing at sea; Sometimes, the rich themselves will take the hired fishermen fishing on a whim, in order to taste them early.

That autumn, it was the fat season of chrysanthemum crabs, and the rich man went out to sea with fishermen again. In the middle of August of the lunar calendar, the high tide, fishermen cast nets to fish. The fishing net is not empty, and there are fat swimming crabs, attractive small yellow croaker and silver snapper ... struggling in the net and jumping on the deck, which makes the rich man get carried away. When the fishing boat was sailing in Xiaodong Bay, a strong wind suddenly blew. At this time, the fishermen quickly closed their nets and set up tents, but it was too late. A horizontal wave hit the fishing boat, knocking the rich and fishermen into the sea. In a crisis, the rich man happened to drop a deck beside him. When the rich man emerged from the sea, he held him like a straw. However, the wind and waves are fierce, and the rich man is getting farther and farther away from the unsinkable fishing boat.

In Xiaodongwan, there was a young man who sailed out to sea, named Mei Songhai, from nearby Mei 'ao village. Seeing that something had happened to the fishing boat, Mei Songhai hurried to the beach and put away his fishing gear. Mei Songhai broke out in the wind and waves when she was a child. He pushed a small sampan out of the mud, picked up the paddle and sailed for the accident sea. Soon, I saw the planking and shouted to save the weak rich man and saved him from the sampan.

The rich man's fishing boat is ups and downs in the sea, and neither of them can climb up. After Mei Songhai sent the rich man up, she dragged the fishermen onto the fishing boat. The cabin is almost full of seawater, and the fishing boat may sink at any time. Mei Songhai found several wooden pots to help them drain the seawater from the cabin, and then drove the boat back to Damutu Beach together.

The rich man has a beautiful daughter named Yu Xiaolan. Because he thanked Mei for saving his father, he also saw that Mei was a handsome young man, although he was a little dark, so he secretly agreed. Before Mei went home, Xiaolan put a gold hairpin into Mei's hand as a promise while no one was looking.

Later, Yu Xiaolan married Mei. After marriage, the couple are very loving. People in Mei 'ao village also call this mountain "the mountain to be sent". Later, because the couple had the word "Lan Song" in their names, and because there were many pine trees, orchids and herbs on the mountain, they changed their names to Blue Songshan, which has been used ever since.
