What are the beautiful legends in Changzhou?

A long time ago, this was a small village. In the middle of the river to the west of the village, there is a mound. No matter whether it rains or sunny, no matter whether the river rises or falls, only one mound is exposed on the water. No matter how far you look, it's like a cow bathing in the river, revealing the back of a heifer. Old people have passed down from generation to generation that there is a treasure on this mound, but no one has ever got it. Anyone who punts and wants to steal treasures, when the boat reaches the river, don't go near the mound. It always capsizes and falls into the water, and many people die. As the saying goes: "If you want to get rich, you will be unlucky!"

Once, a man from Jiangxi came. He said that one of his cows escaped to a mound in the river and wanted to borrow a boat to catch them. As soon as the local people showed signs, they knew that he wanted to steal the treasure, and no one would lend him the boat. Finally, he used the money he could buy a boat to rent a broken boat from Ye Laoren at Ye Jia Pier. The boss helped him punt, so he propped the boat to the middle of the river, with the bow facing the mound, took out a "millstone grass" from his side, waved it up and down on the mound, muttered something to himself, and finally took a golden buffalo to the wrecked boat and rowed it back to the shore.

Old Ye Man was surprised to find that Jiangxi people really brought back a cow. Looking again, the cow also took a big shit on the boat! He pulled a face and said, "Hey, hey! Clean up the cow dung lying on the boat before you leave! "

Jiangxi people said with a smile: "I rented your boat and sent you a pile of shit!" " "

Elymus said, "Don't go if you clean up!"

Jiangxi sighed, squatted down, threw cow dung into the river with both hands and said, "Don't regret it in the future!" " "

Elymus watched Jiangxi people riding on the back of the cow, flapping the cow's ass all the way to the east, and then returned to the boat. A closer look shows that the cow dung embedded in the seam of the ship has not been cleaned up, and there is a small piece in the cabin. Where's the cow shit? This is obviously glittering gold! Hurriedly chasing ashore, Jiangxi guy has disappeared without a trace, and he rode the Taurus early. As soon as the story spread, everyone called the mound in the river Jinniudun.

Although Jinniu has gone, a pile of golden excrement and gold embedded in the cracks in the ship's board were used by people here to build a market town, which is now the town of Benniu.

Changzhou Marco Polo and "Shuanggui Square"

In Guang Chen in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River and came to Changzhou. Liu Lun, a famous minister, accompanied the holy family all the way. On this day, I crossed the street and came to a bustling area of the city. Emperor Qianlong suddenly stopped in front of a very humble pie stall. Strange things have happened!

This street is very busy, with many shops and complete department stores. Only this pie stall, with simple shops, indecent doors and windows, is owned by orphans and widows. They both have the same name. They are both called Gui Fang. Their family is poor, and they live together by washing clothes and selling cakes, just like a generation of kings coming to Changzhou; A lady in Changzhou who calls herself "Miss Ma" came to wash skirts and shirts with her daughter, said she would pick them up the next day, and then left. When Gui Fang's mother was going to take the clothes to wash, she found a piece of white jade mushroom hidden in her skirt pocket. It was as light as crystal and beautifully carved! The mother and daughter expected that it was priceless, and immediately looked for the owner separately and found this Miss Ma in Mashan Port! Miss Ma, of course, even thank you! Praise the noble temperament of poor mother and daughter! Immediately, he came to ask about the temperature. When asked about the business of the pie stall, Gui Fang sighed and said, "Business is light, so we have to make up for it by washing clothes, and the days have passed like a year!" Miss Ma immediately thanked her with white jade mushrooms, but the mother and daughter resolutely refused. Miss Ma had a brainwave and took Four Treasures of the Study. She immediately wrote a poem and posted it at the door of Tupai, saying:

Marco is the king of cakes,

It's ridiculous that the son of heaven doesn't taste it.

The Lord knows the taste of people's food,

Huang Jiyong took care of Guo Bang.

This strange poem deeply attracted Emperor Qianlong, asking questions and asking what the mother and daughter's surnames were. When I learned that my mother and daughter were both named Guifang, I was even more surprised and asked, "Why is this pie called sesame cake?" Liu Lun is also difficult to answer at the moment. However, Miss Gui Fang answered bluntly, "There was a fairy here just now. It was God's will. This poem was written by a fairy. " Liu Lun was relieved: "Your Majesty, the emperor is so gracious. There is no doubt that this Ma Xian must be a Ma Jiaxian. God helps the Qing dynasty for generations! " Hearing this, the Qianlong Long Yan immediately picked up the baked wheat cake and swallowed it, giving it to Gui Fang's mother and daughter 120.

Ganlong returned to Beijing and brought the baked wheat cake to the queen for tasting. The queen praised him and said, "Changzhou sesame seed cake is really unusual, crisp and loose, delicious, crisp and fragrant!" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "The queen asked Emperor Qianlong," Who made this cake? " Emperor Qianlong could only vaguely answer the queen: "Double Gui Fang!"

Changzhou's Shuangguifang and sesame seed cake are named after this.

Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, traveled all the way and ate delicacies. June big

Arrived in Changzhou in the dog days. ,

One day, after eating the imperial meal, Qianlong saw sesame cakes and cheese sent by Changzhou local officials.

Sesame candy, pick it up and taste it. It is delicious. After eating a lot, I feel thirsty. I eat watermelon.

But watermelons are all water, sesame cakes absorb water, and their stomachs swell up after a sleep.

The ground is uncomfortable, and it is more and more sad not to go out to pee. Changzhou Futai, Wujin and Yanghucheng

The county is in a hurry to find a famous doctor for treatment. A policeman saw it and said, "Belly!

If the skin is swollen, eat dried radish. "Qianlong heard that, hurriedly get something to eat. know

The government thought, "How can this thing be put on the stage?" "But dare not disobey, just send someone to get it.

Ganlong took a piece and put it in his mouth to chew slowly. It's delicious, too, just one piece after another.

I ate several pieces in a row. After eating, my stomach growled for a while, and I was very busy with ventilation.

Eunuch was ordered to lift the toilet, defecate, and the stomach was cured, and the local officials were relaxed.

Happy.

When Gan Long left Changzhou, he took some dried radishes and ate them all the way. He thinks radish.

The shape of dried radish is a bit like an open orange, so it has a special taste, so it is called dried radish.

Heart orange. "In the future, Changzhou government will add a radish to the items paid by the court every year.

Fuck, "Changzhou Dried Radish" has become more and more famous.

Hongmeige was originally named Feixia Building. During the Yuan Dynasty to Mindfulness, a county magistrate named Gong Zibin worked as a supervisor in Hongmeige, and his maid brought him meals every day. One day, when he came back from going out, he was very hungry, but he didn't see the maid delivering food. He went home angrily and hit her, only to accidentally hit her on the head and kill her. The next morning, he found yesterday's food under the dust cover above his desk, only to realize that he had wronged his handmaid, and he couldn't help feeling extremely regretful. "There are many cases here. How do you know there is no waste?" So, a big fire burned all the files, and then he surrendered to Changzhou Futai and was sentenced to exile in Yunnan. As it happens, Futai is from Yunnan, so I asked Gong Zibin to take a message home.

Gong Zibin was escorted to the road, and just out of the city gate, an old man with a crane hair came face to face, willing to walk with them. As he spoke, he folded a branch into a crutch, untied the ribbon from his waist, put Gong Zibin on the crutch, pulled up the ribbon and closed his eyes. At the moment, he only felt the wind in his ear and the clouds at his feet. In less than half an hour, I came to a city where red berries are in full bloom. I have arrived in Yunnan. Gong Zibin was overjoyed and immediately went to town to send a letter to the court. When the government's father saw the date of the letter or the date of the day, he was surprised and asked why. In order to thank Gong Zibin for delivering the letter in time, he asked the local government to ask him for leave and let Gong Zibin return to Changzhou. Gong Zibin and others set foot on rattan and pulled ribbons back to Changzhou. The government thought they hadn't left yet, and was shocked to see the reply. So Gong Zibin took out the red plum from Yunnan as a voucher. Only a few years later, Gong Zibin saw the old man floating like a fairy again. Gong Zibin was willing to learn from Xian Weng, and a Taoist priest in Hongmeige also "followed". Disciples of the Taoist priest chased him and asked, "When will Master come back?" The Taoist priest pointed to a stone pillar in front of the door and said, "I will come back when this pillar blooms." Three years later, the stone pillar really blossomed. "Its lines are very clever, and generate comes out on the dirty stone." It looks like plum blossom, white, and its preciousness lies in the variety of flower shapes.
