Nandou and Beidou--Yan Chao bribes Beidou Xingjun

Because the appearance of the Big Dipper is too obvious and easy to handle, all countries in the world have corresponding stories. In fact, such stories can easily show the basic values of a nation or cultural circle. Listening to children, some of them are still full of debate, in fact, the problem of Chinese mythology is particularly serious...

This time we are going to introduce the third story about the Big Dipper. This time the Big Dipper is no longer seven little pigs, but an old man!

The story takes place in the Three Kingdoms period in China. A young farmer named Yan Chao was ploughing the fields. One day, Guan Yu, who was good at fortune-telling, happened to pass by. He felt that this young man didn't look right, so he watched it for a while. Then he asked his name and age.

The young man replied, "My name is Yan Chao, and I am 19 years old." Then Guan Yu said, "I see that your Yintang is black and dead, and I think you will die within three days. How pitiful!" Guan Yu left.

Yan Chao was startled when he heard it, and almost died early. He left his job and ran home to tell his father what Guan Rong said. After his father heard it, he immediately took Yan Chao to go out to find Guan Yu. When he found it, he was afraid to cry on the ground immediately, and asked Guan Yu to help him.

Guan Xun saw it, and just said with a blank face: "Life and death are fate, this is his destiny, no matter how you bow, it's useless."

Yan Chao and his father cried when they heard it. The two of them hugged and slumped on the ground. Although the two of them cried so miserably, they felt unbearable. After a while, he finally told Yan Chao: "Tomorrow, you will prepare a pot of wine and some delicious food to go to Nanshan. You will see a big tree, and there will be two old people playing chess there. You After the past, don't interfere with them playing chess, just prepare the wine and food, bring them to eat and drink when they stop, don't say anything, wait for them to finish eating, then ask them to help you increase their lifespan , but you must remember that you can't tell them that I taught you.

Yan Chao nodded and agreed. The next day, he really took the wine and meat to Nanshan. After walking up a distance, he found a big pine tree on the side of the road. There were two old people playing chess under the tree. An old man dressed in a white robe looks very ugly, like a terrifying man. The other was wearing a red robe and looked extremely elegant, looking like a fairy painted in a temple.

The two old men were concentrating on playing chess without making a sound. Yan Chao immediately prepared the wine and meat and brought it to the old man.

Probably smelled the smell. Although the two old men were staring at the chessboard, they stretched out their hands to eat and drink the wine. Yan Chao prepared by the side and filled the wine glasses as soon as they were empty.

Finally, all the wine and meat that Yan Chao brought were eaten up, and the two old men turned to look at Yan Chao at this time, while Yan Chao immediately knelt down and begged the two old men to let him live longer.

The two old men looked at Yan Chao, and the old man in red said, "This kid must be in charge of teaching. But since we both ate good food from others, we just wanted to help."

The old man in white robe took out a notebook from his arms, flipped it over, stopped to look at it for a while, then raised his head and said to Yan Chao, "You are nineteen years old this year, if you follow the record of life and death, you will die tomorrow, now I Add a nine on top of ten, and your life expectancy will be ninety-nine." The old man shook his head and continued, "Go back and tell that guy Guan Rong to stop acting like this, or we won't be able to help you next time. There will be punishment."

I saw that the old man in red suddenly changed into a pen and added a few strokes to the notes. Then a whirlwind rolled up, and the two old men turned into two white cranes.

After Yan Chao went back, he asked Guan Xie to thank him, and told him the old man's warning by the way. Guan Yu told him that the old man in red was Nan Dou Xingjun, and the old man in white was Beidou Xingjun; Nan Dou was born and Bei Dou was dead, the old man in white agreed to let you not die tomorrow, and the old man in red allowed you to live an extra ninety years. You can rest assured.

Because this story involves bribery of gods, there are actually quite a few people who reflect on it, and the previous article also had a similar problem:

This article is also going to be used as a radio program draft, but the target of the program is children, so the writing is relatively simple, so I will add some other things to the content posted here. There are actually various stories about the Big Dipper in ancient China, and different countries in different eras have different images, but it is very interesting to imagine the Big Dipper as a pig, because this kind of imagination first came from India. It is said that even Taoism regards Beidu Qixing as piglets. ...

And because this is a bribery, although it is a very typical Taoist myth, it has a much less educational meaning, and even was deliberately deleted, but to be honest, the Taoist myth is full of this kind of content. After all, the Taoist system responds. It is the Confucian-style Chinese official culture, which is fundamentally unhealthy...

But another interesting point of this article is the life book, because this thing has the same product in all civilizations with writing, although it may be a scroll, a stone tablet, a book or a clay tablet. The point is that the name is very Importantly, in ancient times, you were not allowed to play salmon casually, and even had the habit of hiding your real name!
