Folk customs in Heguo Township

In the north of Nanhe County, there have been two friendly villages since ancient times, one is Heguo and the other is Song Jia. On the 21st day of the first month of every year, people in Heguo Village always take yellow stripes to Song Jia Village to play social fire. People in Song Jia Village treat them as warmly as relatives. According to legend, this is a rule left by the Yellow Scarf Army when it fought against officers and men at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Scarf Army after the Julu uprising. Liu Hong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, panicked and sent Lu Zhi, a corps commander, to Julu to suppress it. Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei defected to Lu Zhi on the way, followed the officers and men to move to Julu, and Lu Zhi led the main force to attack Guangzong (the battle of the boundary bridge). Guan Yu led a part of the ranks into the South River and launched a battlefield in the south and north of the city.

Guan Yu was stationed in the county seat, and the Yellow Scarf Army was stationed in Huanglong, Zhanglu Village. The distance between the two armies is 18 mile. After several encounters, Guan Yu didn't get the upper hand at all, and he was defeated. On this day, Guan Yu heard the report that the Yellow Scarf Army had food.

There was not much grass, so he led the troops to sneak attack on the Yellow Scarf Army Village in the dead of night. When he arrived in Zhang Lu Village, Guan Yu reined in his horse. Seeing that the village was quiet, he became suspicious. He bridled the reins himself and investigated the village head. In the moonlight, there was a mountain of grain and grass in the yellow turban insurrectionary army camp, and then he asked the farmers. A farmer told him that Huanglong led a part of the Yellow Scarf Army south, and Guan Yu was surprised.

When he turned his horse's head and just walked to the edge of Song Jia Village, he saw a group of troops coming in the distance, powerful and imposing, with many treasures. Guan Yu is like a frightened bird. He dare not continue fighting. He urged the horse to run around and didn't run far. The spies came to report: "The Yellow Scarf Army camp is really empty, and the grain and grass are all disguised mounds. The front team is the grain carrier and the Yellow Scarf Army. " Guan Yu was angry and anxious. He turned his horse's head and ordered the people to disperse and snatch rations, and never let the Yellow Scarf Army get food and grass. The officers and men joined hands with the grain transporters, and in an instant, the swords and shadows were shining, the sound of killing was deafening, the sky was dark and the dust was flying. In the fierce battle, suddenly a group of people rushed out of Song Jia village, armed with spears and steel forks, and went straight to Guan Yu to kill them. Soon, the officers and men were beaten to pieces, and even Guan Yu's horse's ass was poked with two holes. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise his life would be lost.

It turns out that the Yellow Scarf Army only cares about fighting these days and hasn't had time to raise food and grass. There are really not many supplies in the camp. In order to cover up the emptiness, Huanglong asked the ranks to pile up a mound in front of the village entrance, surround it with seats, and write down the number of the grain depot, just like missing the grain heap, putting down a confusing plan. At the same time, send people to the rich villages around the country to raise food and grow grass. When the people of the Republic of China heard that the Yellow Scarf Army was short of food, they donated money one after another, and soon carried away a hundred tons of rice and food. In order to transport the rice grain to the Yellow Scarf Army safely, it was agreed with Huanglong that on the one hand, the villagers would carry the rice grain, and on the other hand, the Yellow Scarf Army soldiers would escort it. When the delivery man came to the edge of Song Jia village, he happened to meet Guan Yu, and the two sides fought. When villagers in Song Jia heard that the officers and men had withheld the pay of the Yellow Scarf Army, they rushed out of the village together and violently culled the officers and men.

When the officers and men heard the news, they cried for their parents, killing and injuring hundreds of people. This day is the 21st day of the first month.

After playing ball here, He Guohe's villagers forged a deep friendship and became a friend in need. On this day every year, villagers in the Republic of China will prepare 32 shoulder poles as they do when delivering meals, indicating that they want to deliver meals. Thirty-two brave men and 320 villagers and soldiers riding on burly horses will show their guards and go to Song Jia Village to thank them for their support. It's called a delivery. People in Song Jia Village are greeted by the same number of people, which is called taking over the bar. When the two villages handed over. It is also necessary to hold a solemn ceremony according to the rules of Taiping Road: the two sides run relatively at the entrance of the village and hand over under the command of the bar leader.

Year after year, over time, this kind of activity gradually evolved into a kind of social fire loved by the people: people should put on makeup, anesthetics should be hanged, and poles should be decorated with red and green. The gongs and drums are loud and lively. According to the requirements of the bar spectrum, all the staff stood on the drums, singing and dancing, and the scene was grand and varied.

This custom of wrangling has been passed down to this day. According to legend, Sanhuanggu was the third daughter of Miaozhuang, the king of Xinglin in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and her name was Miaoshan. His father Wang is from Wagu Village, Heguo Township, Nanhe County. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xinglin State was established and Pingcheng was its capital. His mother Baoying, a native of Lanzhuang Village, Nanhe County, was nicknamed Lanwuyan. Wang has three daughters, the eldest is Miao Yuan, the third is Miao Shan and the third is Huang Gu. Legend has it that when Queen Gong Zheng was pregnant, she gave birth to a chubby baby girl in Hiuke on February 19th of the lunar calendar, which means "kindness" and was named Miao Shan.

The three girls grew up, and Miao Yuan confessed and enjoyed all the splendor. Only Huang Gu was devoted to goodness. Sanhuanggu was born smart. She did not learn to draw dragons and embroidered phoenixes, but secretly practiced Zen in the palace. At the age of sixteen, King Miao Zhuang wanted to betroth her to Li Bing, the son of Prime Minister Li Long. She refused, and fled the palace to Yang Gang at night. Later, Nanyang Zhuang set up the second day of April as a memorial meeting to commemorate the day when Sanhuanggu fled marriage and took refuge. Sanhuanggu went forward dressed as a village girl, and on September 19, she came to Baique Temple in Baifo Village and converted to Buddhism. After the news reached the palace, King Miao Zhuang gave the old teacher a secret message and asked him to make every effort to make him change his mind. Sanhuanggu carries water, grinds, husks rice, cooks rice, splits firewood and rings bells every day, and suffers hardships, but she is determined.

Gong Zheng knew that all three daughters were obedient to Buddhism, and everything was pain and trouble. Mountain delicacies are not delicious, and jade beds are sleepless. I often secretly go to Baique Temple to see my daughter behind Miao Zhuang's back. The third aunt sometimes misses her mother and secretly runs back to the palace. After a long time, starting from the capital city of Xinglin State, and passing through the villages east of Guo Ping and South Korea, a winding path was trodden, commonly known as "White Buddha Road".

There is a Huanglong monk in the White Buddha Temple southwest of Baique Temple. Third aunt went out to collect firewood, so she said lewd words and flirted. Although the third aunt ignored her, she was still rumored to be unruly. Rumors spread to the palace, and King Miao Zhuang ordered the Baique Temple to be set on fire. At this moment, Baique Temple is full of smoke, and the ghosts of 500 monks and nuns have ascended to heaven. When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he sent Taibai Venus to rescue Sanhuanggu from the fire with a rope to avoid the fire.

After Sanhuanggu was rescued, she decided to practice in Taihang Mountain. When I came to Shuanglou Village, the boundary of Xingtai, I poured the soil into my shoes, and three mountains immediately rose from the south to the north. People call it "Santai Mountain" (now Yaoshan Mountain). In order to avoid the wonderful king, Sanhuanggu walked Taihang Mountain on September 18th of the lunar calendar and came to Cangyan Mountain. She looked at the mountains and rivers with mixed feelings, mixed with grief and indignation, and moved Taibai Venus. Taibai Venus sent a gorgeous tiger to carry her up the mountain. She climbed to the top of Cangyan Mountain, settled down and concentrated on spiritual practice. She burns incense and worships Buddha with her hands clean every day, and she is pious and enlightened. In a blink of an eye, nine years later, on the 19th day of June of the lunar calendar, it turned out to be a positive result, and thousands of altars visited Wan Li.

Wang Huo, Miao Zhuang, burned a white bird's nest and took it out on our mother. He is in a trance all day and often has nightmares. He suffered from a strange disease-facial ulcer. In the capital, Chaoping City, I searched all over the world for famous doctors, and I don't know what disease I got. Despite the past, the Third Aunt turned into a "monk" to enlighten King Miao Zhuang, offering her hands and eyes in person to cure "facial sores".

King Miao Zhuang, mindful of his great kindness, saved his life and led hundreds of officials to Cangyan Mountain to seal the Three Empresses. Originally, I wanted to call it Guanyin, whose hands are too weak to bind chickens and eyes are too weak to bind chickens. Because of excessive excitement, I said it was "a thousand hands and a thousand eyes". As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the icon of Sanhuang Valley was displayed in the air, which really grew 1000 hands and eyes. Since then, there has been a dignified and kind Guanyin in Mingsha Temple, who "looks at human injustice with a thousand eyes and protects ordinary people with a thousand hands".

King Miao Zhuang instructed skilled craftsmen all over the country to rebuild Baique Temple and build a "Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes" guanyin temple. It is said that this Bodhisattva is "omnipotent". The common people regard her as a protector. As long as you sincerely pray, you will be able to turn adversity into luck and protect your home.

Due to the failure of the government, two horses were killed in the war, and the great aunt and the second aunt were named Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. King Miao Zhuang and Baoying, the mothers of the country, deeply felt unable to get rid of worldly troubles and fled into an empty net.
