Why are the little toenails of people under the ancient locust tree complex?

"Who is the ancient locust who moved here? Take off your little toe and check your armor. " . This folk song is not only widely circulated, but also used as evidence to identify villagers and descendants of ancient Huai immigrants. On trains, in hotels, in military camps, in university dormitories and even in other countries, people from foreign countries get together to ask about their hometown and check their ancestral home. They often take off their shoes and pull their socks to show their feet to see if the nails of their little toes are complicated. If someone has a few vertical stripes on his fingernails, which look like two nails, then his ancestors moved here from under the big pagoda tree in Hong Tong. So, they immediately recognized each other as descendants of Gu Huai, and they thought they were Hong Dong's hometown. So I sat around and told the historical facts and anecdotes when I touched the people. Compared with the rumors from my ancestors, I miss my hometown and my ancestors more. "People who moved from the same old tree meet each other after several generations, and they are happy." The cordial and friendly friendship is very strong.

Why are the little toenails of people under the ancient locust tree complex? There is a beautiful myth and legend here.

According to legend, Xuanyuan Huangdi was born in Gongsun Bao, Hongdong County. In Shang dynasty, there were two kinds of people living in Hongdong area. One is the descendants of the Chinese people, who live in scattered places and grow crops for a living; One is the Qiang people who follow Xia Qi's contribution to water control and live in the present Mingjiang area (Mingjiang was originally named Hunqiang, later renamed Qiang Ming, and finally renamed Mingjiang). At that time, Mingjiang was a grassland, and the Qiang people lived as nomads and learned from the descendants of the Yellow Emperor to grow crops. Winter goes to spring, and year after year, the descendants of the Qiang people spread; Agriculture and animal husbandry are developed and they live and work in peace and contentment.

One year, the King of Yin led troops from Henan to hunt here, which was actually a plunder of the Qiang people. One day, Lu Yu, a woman from A Qiang, saw her natural beauty and ordered her to be taken away. I just know that this Qiang woman is strong-willed, swearing and determined not to follow. Yin Wang is cruel and heartless. He flew into a rage and raised his sword to cut at the Qiang women. Qiang women are bold and cautious, calm and calm, and escape quickly. The easy sword here failed, so he won't stop. After that, he raised his sword and stabbed the Qiang woman in the abdomen. At this time, I heard a loud bang, and the Qiang women flashed red, which stunned Wang Yin and his entourage. I saw a Qiang woman lying on the ground, jumping out of her punctured stomach and holding a man, a woman and two children. Strangely, the two children just jumped out of their mother's body, sat on the ground, held one foot in one hand and began to cry. Confused Wang Yin ordered his followers to open their hands and look at the blood on their little fingers. Instantly, blood flowed, and the little toe was scarred. Seeing this, Yin Wang felt it was an ominous sign and shouted, "Where did the disaster come from?" Raise your sword and cut the waist of two children into three parts. At this moment, it happened that Sanyisheng, a good friend of King Wen, arrived, grabbed the sword of King Yin and said, "Your Majesty, calm down and let them go for the time being. I'll adopt them and see what happens. If it is a demon, it is not too late to dispose of it. " The king of Yin listened to his words and rode away with his entourage.

Sanyisheng rescued two children. Seeing that their mother died, and no one supported her, fearing that she would be killed by Wang Yin again, she took them home and adopted them. These two children are really unusual. When they were teenagers, they were brilliant, smart and brave. At this time, two thieves tried to frame them, drove the sheep with their tongues cut off to his house and falsely accused them of being thieves. Brother and sister fought hard and beat the thief away. At that time, people didn't have surnames. After this incident, people called it "sheep tongue". When Zhou was attacked, his brother and sister went there and made many contributions. After King Wu was destroyed, they returned to their hometown and married the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Men plow and women weave, and live happily. Since then, their offspring's little toe nails have become complicated.
