Love story under the Weaver Mountain

The Qixi Festival is coming, and the romantic love heated up. The Qixi Festival, also known as Qiqiao Festival, Daughter Day, Qiqiao Festival, etc., is a traditional festival of Chinese folks. In Lingshou, a millennium ancient county, there has been a story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl since ancient times.

I remember the summer night of childhood, when the family was cool on the roof, my mother shook Pu Fan and pointed at the sky, telling me the legend about the cowherd and weaver. Legend has it that on the day of the Qixi Festival, the magpies flew to the sky to set up a bridge for the cowherd and weaver girl, so that they would meet on the bridge. Mother said that under the cucumber rack, the cowherd and weaver girl whispered.

The legend of the Cowherd Weaver Girl is seen in the records of "Book of Book of Songs, Xiaoya · Dadong". In the text of "Customs and Fun": "The weaver girl is crossing the river and made the litter as a bridge. : "The glory of the cattle, the girl of the bright river ... Yingying is a water, the pulse is not able to say." What a beautiful picture. In Qin Guan's "Bridge Fairy", "If the two feelings are long, how can it be in the twilight" become a famous sentence chanted through the ages, making the story of the cowherd and weaver girl more romantic. Since ancient times, people have believed that Cowherd and Weaver have really met the river in the Qixi Festival. That night, the women wore a beggar and worshiped the weaver with the fruits. The story of the Cowherd and Weaver is often used as the subject of drama.

At that time, I didn't know that the birthplace of this story was Lingshou. It was not until I later participated in the "Tanabata Party" held in the Occupy Mountain, and I knew the ins and outs of the story. Under the beautiful landscape, under the Tatou Township, Lingshou County, there are three villages, Niu Laozhuang (also known as Niuzhuang), Occupor's Village (also known as Girl Village), and Qi Nu Gou (also known as Qi Yougou). The legend of the familiar "cowboy and weaver girl" happened here.

The elderly in Niuzhuang Village knew such a story: in the Han Dynasty, there was an orphan surnamed Du in the village. The sister -in -law was very mean to him. He put the cattle cut grass during the day and let him sleep at night. Lang, also called cowherd. One night, Lao Niu guided him to go to the lotus pond under the southeast mountain of the village, and waited for the beautiful weaver girl. The mother and mother of the weaver girl learned that she was married to a cowherd, and she was furious. Not only did she bring the weaver back to the heaven, but also a heavenly river, separated the cowherd and weaver girl on both sides of the strait.

There is a small road in the south of the village. It is said that cowherds often walk when they let go of cattle, and call Niu Lao Dao. The Seven Girl River in the east of Niuzhuang Village is the "Tianhe" drawn by the Queen Mother. Hedong is a female village, and Hexi is Niuzhuang. There is a weaving female peak in the upper reaches of the Seven Girl River. From here, you can see seven small peaks, also known as Qi Nu Gou. On the upper reaches of the Seven Girl River, the height and curvature of the seven small peaks are basically the same. There is also a folk song here: "Seven Girls, Seven Girls, One Fairy and One Ditch. The seven girls walked in front of the door, and then went to the Queen Mother Tower."

After the Niuzhuang Bridge was completed, the young men and women in the two villages of Niuzhuang and Nuzhuang began to marry, and more and more. The villagers all said that with the bridge, the men and women married the two villages were together, and they would never be separated.

In 2009, the "Tanabata Festival" of Lingshou County Weaishan was included in the third batch of intangible cultural heritage list in Hebei Province, and it became the first batch of national traditional festivals in our province. Now, on the seventh day of July each year, people come to Niuzhuang, Girl Village, and Seven Girls to visit the scenery of the elderly. Listening to the story of the old man telling the cattle and weaver girls, young men and women swap token, hold begging, begging, begging, begging, and asking for children Wait for a series of beggar activities.

Writing here, a small poem "The Story of Lingshou Niuzhuang Women's Village" was born in the pen: "Where is the source of the Niu Lao weaving girl, there is a legacy of Lingshou Yaugou. Lock/text)
