Sun Liang, the head of the mountain god

For the Changbai Mountain people who put the mountain, Sun Liang is the patriarch and is respected as "the old head of the mountain god". "Fangshan" is the customary name for the business of digging ginseng into the mountains in the Northeast, and the leader who gathers everyone to release the mountain and dig ginseng is called "the head".

Sun Liang is a native of Laiyang, Shandong. There was a severe drought in Laiyang one year. In order to make a living, Sun Liang decided to dig ginseng in the east of Guandong. After crossing the ocean and going through hardships, Sun Liang came to Changbai Mountain, met fellow villager Zhang Lu, and became brothers of life and death.

The brothers discussed going to different mountain farms to find wild ginseng, and made an appointment to come back three days later. Sun Liang found a large piece of ginseng on the sunny slope of a big mountain, including a seedling of six-leaf ginseng (in the Northeast, the number of ginseng leaves, such as the number of common products, pieces, batches, etc., indicates that six-leaf wild ginseng is very rare). He hoped to share the harvest with his brothers, so he returned to the place and waited for Zhang Lu to meet, but after three days, Zhang Lu was still nowhere to be seen. In order to find his brother, Sun Liang traveled all over the deep mountains, and finally fell hungry and exhausted, and passed out beside a large lying cow stone. Before dying, he bit his finger and wrote on the stone:

He lives in Laiyang, a natural grandson, and travels across the ocean to dig ginseng.

I lost my good brother on the road, so I went up the cricket river to find it.

I ate a cricket for three days, but I was unwilling to find my brother.

Later, when Emperor Kangxi heard about this incident on his third trip to the east to worship his ancestors, he was moved by Sun Liang's loyalty and bravery, and named Sun Liang the old head of the mountain god. To commemorate Sun Liang, later generations designated Sun Liang's birthday, which is the 16th day of the third lunar month, as the "Old Head Festival", also known as "Mountain God Festival", and reconstructed his tomb in Kuaidamao Town, Tonghua County, Jilin Province. Laobatou Festival is the first important festival after the Spring Festival in Changbai Mountains.

Ginseng Fairy

During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, most areas in Shandong suffered a natural disaster that was rare in a century. The crops failed to harvest for two consecutive years, and the food for the local people became a huge problem. In order to survive, most people embarked on the road to the east of the border to escape the famine and beg for food.

Wei Changshan of Weijiazhuang sent his sick mother and the only two buckets of sorghum in the family to his sister's house in a neighboring village. He and his wife brought a bed and three sons, and went through untold hardships to a village called Erdaogou in the northeast. . With the consent of the villagers, Wei Changshan's family of five temporarily lived in a adobe house that was ventilated and leaked at the north end of the village.

Wei Changshan's eldest son, Wei Dazhu, was seventeen years old. The second son, Erkui, was fifteen years old at the time. The third child was Wei Sanmin, who had just turned thirteen at the time. At that time, there were only a dozen households in Erdaogou. To the east of the village was an endless virgin forest, and to the west of the village was fertile black land.

Less than three years after arriving in Erdaogou, Wei Changshan led his family to reclaim more than 20 acres of wasteland and built three adobe houses. His family of five finally had a home of their own.

Uncle Li, an old hunter in the village, saw that Wei Changshan’s family was very hard-working, kind, and very responsible. During the slack season, he took Wei Changshan and his sons into the mountains to hunt, pick mushrooms, and dig ginseng. Although Uncle Li is a hunter, he does not focus on hunting. He mainly digs wild ginseng in the mountains, because nothing is better than digging ginseng to make a lot of money. It's just that there are not many wild ginseng in the forest, and the more you dig, the less you get.

Following Uncle Li to release the mountain for a year, Wei Changshan and his three sons were all familiar with the situation in the mountain, and they all tasted the sweetness of releasing the mountain. .

At noon one day in the early autumn of that year, Wei Changshan found a six-leaf ginseng tree in the old forest in the deep mountains. He quickly tied the ginseng tree with a red rope and let his younger son Wei Sanmin guard it. He went back to the village and called Li Uncle is gone. Wei Changshan has no experience in digging such a large mountain ginseng. If the ginseng whiskers are cut off, it will be sold for a lot of money.

Wei Changshan had just left when Wei Sanmin, who was standing beside the ginseng, suddenly heard a woman's voice: "Brother, please, let me go." "Who are you? Where are you, why can't I see you? "Hearing everyone's words, Wei Sanmin's whole body shuddered with fright, where did this woman come from in the mountains and forests?

"Brother, I'm a ginseng girl, the ginseng tree you tied with the red rope. As long as you untie the red rope, you can save my life." The woman's voice was clear and sweet, like a copper bell.

Wei Sanmin hurriedly grabbed the red rope tied to ginseng, and asked in surprise, "Are you really a ginseng fairy? But I can't let you go. If you let you go, my father will kill me." "Brother, you won't let me go." Go, when they dig me out of the soil, I will die. You have pity on me. My brothers and sisters have all been killed by you. If I die again, there will be no more ginseng in this deep mountain forest. ." The woman's pleading voice was desolate, and Wei Sanmin moved with compassion.

"I let you go, why should I explain to my father? He went back to the village and asked Grandpa Li to go." Wei Sanmin said.

After being silent for a while, the ginseng spoke again: "Brother, as long as you untie the red rope, I will come out to talk to you and find a way for you. If you are afraid that I will run away, I will bite your finger and drain the blood. Sprinkle it on the ginseng leaves, so that I can't run away." "Okay then." Wei Sanmin bit his finger in disbelief, dripped the bright red blood on the ginseng leaves, and untied the red rope tied to the ginseng.

In an instant, a beautiful young girl stood in front of Wei Sanmin. The girl's beauty was beyond description. It would not be an exaggeration to describe this girl with the appearance of sinking fish and geese, and the appearance of shy moon and closed flowers.

Wei Sanmin was stunned when he saw this beautiful ginseng girl in front of him. Before Wei Sanmin could speak, the ginseng fairy spoke first: "Brother, don't be afraid, I have ginseng seeds here, if you take them back and plant them in the ground, a lot of ginseng will grow, and you won't have to go to the deep mountains and old forests to dig in the future. Ginseng. As long as you do as I say, I will marry you when your village is full of ginseng." After the ginseng fairy finished speaking, she suddenly disappeared, leaving a bloody shirt on the ground.

Wei Sanmin returned to the village with the ginseng seeds that the ginseng fairy gave him, and told his father and Grandpa Li what the ginseng girl said truthfully.

Three years later, the land around Erdaogou was full of ginseng, and Wei Changshan became a big ginseng planter. The people in the village no longer go into the mountains to dig wild ginseng, and they all live a prosperous life. That autumn, Wei Sanmin married a beautiful wife who looked exactly like the ginseng fairy. The villagers in the village said that the girl was the ginseng fairy.

A Little Story of Traditional Chinese Medicine - Ginseng

A long time ago, there was a Yunmeng Mountain in Shandong, and there was a Yunmeng Temple on the mountain. There were two monks in the temple, one teacher and one apprentice. The old monk had no intention of burning incense and chanting Buddha on the mountain, and he did not cultivate the fields diligently and diligently. He also abused his younger apprentices in every possible way.

One day, the old monk went down the mountain and left his young apprentice to work in the temple. From nowhere, a child in a red apron came to help the young monk. From then on, whenever the old monk went out, the child in the red apron came to help the young monk, and when the old monk came back, the child disappeared.

After a long time, the old monk felt very strange to see that the younger monk's face was ruddy and he could finish no matter how much work he had done. I thought, there must be some mystery here. He called his little apprentice and forced him to interrogate him. Out of frustration, the little monk had to tell the truth.

The old monk pondered in his heart: deep in the mountains and remote mountains, where did the children with red doudou come from? Could it be the magic grass stick (ginseng)? So he took out a red thread from the box, put it on a needle, handed it to the little monk, and explained, "When the child comes to play again, you can quietly pin this needle on the child's red belly pocket."

The next day, the old monk went down the mountain. The little monk wanted to tell the truth to the child in the red apron, but was afraid of the old monk's scolding, so he had to pin the needle on the child's apron while the child was in a hurry to go home. In the early morning of the third day, the old monk locked his apprentice in the monastery. He took the pick and followed the red line to find an old red pine tree, and saw that the needle was inserted into a mallet seedling. He was so happy that he picked up his pick and dug up a "Shentong".

The old monk took the "Shentong" back to the temple, put it into the pot, added water, covered it, and pressed the stone. Then, ask the little apprentice to light a fire and cook. Unfortunately, at this time, the old monk's friend was in a hurry to ask the old monk to go down the mountain, and the old monk refused. When he was about to leave, the old monk told his younger apprentice, "If I don't come back, don't expose the pot!"

After the old monk left, a strange aroma continued to spew out of the pot. Out of curiosity, the young apprentice disregarded the old monk's advice, removed the stone and lifted the lid of the pot. It turned out that there was a big stick in the pot, and the aroma was fragrant. The little monk took a piece and put it in his mouth to taste, it tasted sweet and fragrant. So, regardless of the 3721, the little monk simply ate it up, and even drank all the soup.

At this moment, the old monk hurried back. The little apprentice was in a hurry and was at a loss. He ran two steps in the monastery. Suddenly, his legs were light, and he took off leisurely. When the old monk saw such a scene, he knew that "Shentong" had been eaten by his younger apprentice, and he regretted that Mei was out of reach.

It turned out that the Red Dudou Kid was transformed from that ginseng tree. The old red pine grows a pair of ginseng. Since the "Ginseng Tong" was dug up by the old monk, the rest of the ginseng was crying sadly under the old red pine. The old Hongsong said, "My good boy, stop crying. I will take you to Kanto. There are few people there. I can protect you forever." "Settled in". Since then, ginseng in Guannei has gradually disappeared, but more and more ginseng in Changbai Mountain.

Myth: Ginseng Doll

At that time, there was a poor boy named Ma Xiaobao. He lost his mother at the age of three and lost his father at the age of five. Later, he was adopted by his uncle Ma Poison, who was like a snake and scorpion. He lived a day of beatings and scolding every day.

When Ma Xiaobao was ten years old, his uncle Ma Duxie took him to Changbai Mountain in the northeast and formed a team to dig ginseng, hoping to make a fortune.

During the day, the uncle and other workers went out to work early, while Ma Xiaobao stayed in the shack to watch the house and collect firewood and cook dinner.

Apart from animals and plants, there are almost no people in the deep mountains and old forests, so Ma Xiaobao always plays alone after doing his work every day. After a long time, he is very lonely, and he talks to the squirrels in the trees or the fish in the water.

One day, Ma Xiaobao suddenly found a little girl about five or six years old by the water. She was all white, wearing only a red apron, and her hair was tied up in nine braids. Her appearance was a bit strange. However, because Ma Xiaobao was so eager to play with other children, he didn't care if there was something strange about the little girl, so he took the initiative to make friends with her, and the two of them played happily all day.

For the next period of time, Ma Xiaobao wandered around with the little girl every day, drinking the sweet mountain spring water when he was thirsty, and eating all kinds of wild fruits when he was hungry. Lots of tips for life in the wild.

Another day, the uncle Ma Venus came back with the workers, because they hadn't dug a single ginseng for a long time, and everyone was very depressed. When eating, people found that Xiaobao was full after eating very little, and then carefully observed the changes in his body, and they all said, "This child seems to have a fairy spirit…" Uncle gradually became suspicious after hearing this.

Late at night, Ma Venomous Scorpion went to Ma Xiaobao alone to ask what happened during this time. Ma Xiaobao is a child who can't lie, so he told all about his good friend, the little girl with a red belly pocket. . .

Unexpectedly, the horse poisonous scorpion is a well-informed and slick, and he immediately thought - that mysterious little girl must be a ginseng essence in the deep mountains! So he gave Ma Xiaobao a ball of red thread and asked him to tie it to the little girl's braid tomorrow. . .

However, the next day, Ma Xiaobao was holding the red thread. As soon as he saw the little girl, the little girl turned around and ran away, saying, "It must be a bad guy who asked you to harm me! If we are tied by the red thread, we will be People find that their lives will not be saved at that time…"

When Ma Xiaobao heard it, he hurriedly threw the red thread into the water! The little girl found that Xiaobao was good to herself in her heart, so she stopped caring, and came back to play with Xiaobao for a day.

In the evening, the horse poisonous scorpion whipped Xiaobao fiercely because Xiaobao didn't catch the ginseng doll. Then he took out another ball of red thread, made Xiaobao move again, and drew out his dagger and threatened viciously: "If I miss this time again, I will chop off your legs! Throw you into the valley to feed the wolves!"

The next day, Ma Xiaobao hid the red thread in his pocket, and when he was having a good time with the little girl, he suddenly tied the red thread firmly to her braid! The girl struggled and cried, "I didn't expect you to still hurt me!"

Xiaobao pulled the red thread and said, "I just want you to meet my uncle, what are you afraid of?!" The little girl cried, "To tell you the truth, I am a ginseng baby in this mountain, and if your uncle sees me, I will lose my life. !" When Xiaobao heard it, he immediately bit the red thread with his teeth, letting the ginseng girl escape. . . That night, the horse poisonous scorpion really chopped off one of Xiaobao's legs and threw him into the valley!

The next day, the ginseng doll was thinking about Xiaobao, so he went back to the place where he used to play and waited for him, but he didn't wait. The ginseng doll found Xiaobao's shack again, but still couldn't find it. . . Just when the ginseng doll was about to turn and leave, he suddenly saw a broken leg on the edge of the cliff! She was surprised that something was wrong, and hurriedly took the broken leg to the valley, and she found Xiaobao's body. The ginseng doll bit her own finger, used the white slurry that flowed out to help Xiaobao connect the broken leg, and then put the finger in Xiaobao's mouth and let him suck the ginseng essence, and finally Xiaobao lived safe and sound!

At this moment, the horse poisonous scorpion rushed out with a long wooden stick. It turned out that he had been lying in ambush not far away, waiting to catch the ginseng doll who came to save Xiaobao. After the two children found the horse poisonous scorpion, they quickly stood up and ran away, especially the ginseng doll was extremely flexible and disappeared in a blink of an eye. And Ma Xiaobao, who couldn't run fast, was beaten to death by the horse poisonous scorpion! The ginseng doll came back, bit the tip of her tongue, and poured her essence into Xiaobao mouth to mouth. Xiaobao not only survived, but also grew nine pigtails upside down, and he also became a ginseng doll!

The two children jumped and played happily in the mountains and forests, their bodies were as light as swallows, and they climbed the cliffs through the valleys as if they were walking on the ground. . . Unexpectedly, the horse poisonous scorpion still did not give up, and finally found the two ginseng dolls again, so they persevered in pursuit! In the end, the greedy and despicable horse poisonous scorpion fell off the cliff and died alive, but the two ginseng dolls lived happily in the deep mountains forever. . .
