During the reign of Russian Empress yekaterina, there was a very beautiful princess. She has amazing beauty, but she also has an arrogant personality. The princess thinks that no man in the world is worthy of herself, so she says, "I will never get married."
But the king insisted on marrying his daughter by any means, so the princess had no choice but to come up with a terrible plan to marry her. After that, the imperial list was posted all over the country. "No matter what your status is, as long as you can hide for three times, the one who won't let the princess find it is Xu, and the one who fails is only chopped!" Although the consequence is death hell, there are still people who covet the beauty and wealth of the princess. They think it is very easy to hide three times without being found.
Unexpectedly, the princess has a window inlaid with 24 sorcerer's stones, and can see any corner of the world! The princesses killed the suitors one by one, hung their remaining heads on the trees in the garden and enjoyed them every day!
Finally, a young man came to propose. He is holding a beautiful doll with two golden braids, a petticoat, red lips and dark blue eyes.
In particular, this doll has nine floors, that is, there are eight small dolls on the big doll. The princess hates dolls and young people who propose marriage, but she can't find him anyway. The king was very happy and thought that someone could finally control this terrible daughter.
I didn't expect the princess to go back on her word and want to get rid of this person who can escape her magic. The princess falsely invited her future husband to enjoy flowers in the garden. When he was shocked by those heads, the princess cut off his head!
Blood was sprayed everywhere from the neck and mouth, and it was also sprayed on the princess who had no time to dodge. When the young man's head was spinning on the ground, he actually said, "You are a snake-like woman, you have to pay 999 for your crime!" " "Suddenly the princess's blood turned into a chain with a knife tooth. It cut the princess's body one by one. She was dismembered alive in screams, her soul was cut into nine pieces and locked in that beautiful doll. Each layer of dolls is locked with the soul of a princess.
This is a cursed doll, which is sold with many toys in the shop. Whoever buys this Russian doll will suffer a terrible event for nine years in a row!
However, there are several versions of the legend about Russian dolls. It is said that an elf lives in every Russian doll. Just open all the dolls, find out the smallest doll inside and make a wish, and then combine all the dolls, then the genie in the doll will realize the wish of the wishing person and seek freedom. Therefore, Russian dolls have become a blessing gift from Russians.
There are many legends similar to the beautiful version. It is said that there are two neighboring cousins in the Russian nation, who grew up together. Later, my cousin left his hometown. Because they miss their cousins in their hometown, they make wooden dolls every year, and the dolls they make get bigger every year. A few years later, he returned to his hometown and gave the doll to his cousin. Later generations imitated it as a doll, also known as an auspicious doll.
Another said: Matryona and Matriosha are very common female names in the old Russian countryside. Scholars point out that these two names contain the Latin root "mater", which means mother. Hearing this name, people can easily think of the mother of a big peasant family, usually a strong and capable Russian woman, a little obese and with many children. Moreover, there are so many small dolls hidden in the chubby wooden dolls that the dolls naturally become the names of beautifully carved and brightly colored wooden dolls.
There are also love stories in Russian Taowa. There is a boy who is trapped by love, and three girls make him unable to decide. So he went to Russia to play. A week later, he came back and brought presents to all three girls.
The first girl got a Russian doll. This doll is very cute. Open the first floor, then the next floor, then the next floor. Five identical dolls were covered by one. He told the girl that there is a beautiful legend about Russian dolls: "A long time ago, there was a Russian boy who lost his parents when he was very young, and lived alone with his sister, but his sister was trapped by a snowstorm on the road of herding sheep and eventually lost it." My brother missed his sister so much that he carved a wooden doll with him. Every year, his brother will carve a slightly older one. In his mind, my sister grew up one year old, and so many years passed. At this time, he told the girl that the doll is a symbol of affection, representing the elder brother's yearning for his younger sister. No matter what happens in the future, I will love you like a doll. The girl understood the boy's meaning and put on the opened dolls one by one in tears.
The second girl also got a Russian doll. He opened the first floor, then the second floor and then the second floor. He told the girl that Russian dolls have a beautiful legend: "Once upon a time, there were two good friends, one was a carpenter and the other was a painter. The painter's birthday is coming. It took the carpenter a long time to chisel out a set of dolls smaller than each other from the best basswood and give them to the painter to make. He thought that if these wooden dolls were painted with colorful clothes, they would definitely confess. So he began to mix colors and put beautiful clothes on the wooden dolls. Everyone liked them very much. Since then, the doll has become a symbol of pure friendship. " He said to the girl: No matter what happens in the future, I will love you like a doll. The girl understood the boy's meaning and put on the opened dolls one by one in tears.
The third girl got a Russian doll. This doll is very cute. After opening the first floor, the boy suddenly took the girl's hand and said, "There is a legend about Russian dolls that can help people realize their wishes. Open the doll to find the youngest one, secretly tell him what you want, and remind him that you won't open the doll until your dream comes true, then put it in and restore it to its original state. This little doll locked in the belly of the big doll can't wait to come out early, so you can find a way to realize your wish as soon as possible. " The boy said to the girl, I have made a wish to the smallest doll in it. If you open it, you must help me realize my wish. The girl nodded and opened the last doll without hesitation. There is a note inside, which says: marry me, and I will love you as much as I love it! The girl happily threw herself into the arms of the boy.
The boy said that the legends of the three Russian dolls were all true. He said, I love them as much as I love Russian dolls. But love also has different expressions, some are family, some are friendship and some are love. ......
Friends can choose a delicate doll, put on their own good wishes, give them to their loved ones and express their good wishes. The process of opening the doll layer by layer is also a process of finding happiness for the recipient. According to different wishes, dolls have different meanings, so Russian dolls are also wishing dolls and blessing dolls.
