For more than two thousand years, the legend of Yong Dong and the Seven Fairies has been widely circulated among the people. According to legend, the seven girls of the Jade Emperor were moved by Yong Dong's filial piety, so they made Huaiyin Tree a matchmaker and married Yong Dong.
Yong Dong said, "How can a tree that can't talk talk?" The seven fairies said, "A tree that doesn't talk is a perfect match." . Then, they both bowed down, and the Huaiyin ancient tree began to speak because of being moved.
Unexpectedly, when the old Huaiyin tree got excited, he said something wrong, saying that it would take a hundred days to get together, which made Yong Dong and the Seven Fairies only have a hundred days' fate.
There is a folk saying that couples can be grateful for a hundred days overnight. According to Guo's Changge Ji, he sold himself to bury his father and went to the rich man's house to work and pay off his debts.
Next to him, Zhang has a daughter named, gifted and intelligent. She voluntarily married Yong Dong and went to work in the rich man's house to pay off her debts. The rich man deliberately made things difficult for them and asked them to weave 300 excellent horses in January.
Qiaojie stayed up all night and finally finished it on time, so the rich man had to put them back. Five years later, they gave birth to two sons, the first named Shu Meng and the second named Zhong Shu.
Qiaojie, like Yong Dong, is very diligent. One day, while she was working in the field, a strong wind blew and it rained heavily, not only because she was weak, but also because she was struck by lightning. Qiaojie is dead.
Later, it is said that Qiaojie turned out to be a weaver girl in the sky. After helping Yong Dong, she returned to the sky. The descendants of Dong, the eldest son of Yong Dong, were scattered in many villages such as Dongcun and Guanting, while Dong Zhongshu, the second son, moved to the south during the war.
