Sixty miles east of Qufu, there is a place called Shouqiu.

A high mountain uplifts the ground, and this high mountain is the remains of Shouqiu.

According to legend, Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, was born here.

According to legend, the mother of the Yellow Emperor was the daughter of Jiao's family and the concubine of the monarch of Shaodian.

Fu Baosheng has two sons, the first is Emperor Yan Shennong, and the second is Emperor Xuanyuan.

Shennong was born before Xuanyuan. He taught people to sow grains and taste herbs to treat people. He was acclaimed as the leader of the Central Plains Tribal Alliance, known as Emperor Yan, and established the capital in Chen Jian.

Later, he moved to Shandong (now Qufu, Shandong Province), which was called Dachao in history, and built a large palace library in Qufu, so Qufu was also called Dachao.

Attached treasure moved to Qufu with Emperor Yan.

One early winter night, Fu Bao came to the suburbs alone. She looked at the starry sky at night and missed her hometown.

Suddenly, a dazzling silver-white lightning flashed in the sky, rotating around the first star of Beidou-Pivot Star, and then suddenly disappeared from the sky to the ground.

Almost at the same time, the dumbfounded attached treasure suddenly felt a wonderful feeling on her.

It was some time before she realized that she was pregnant by lightning.

As the saying goes, "pregnancy in October, one delivery."

Fu Bao is 24 months pregnant.

One day in the winter of the third year, the sky was clear and there were thousands of auspicious clouds. Fu Bao felt unbearable stomach pain.

Soon, with a baby crying, the Yellow Emperor came to earth.

There is a bulge in the middle of the newborn yellow emperor's frontal bone, which is shaped like the sun. This is the so-called "sun angle". The yellow emperor has the shape of a dragon, and it is said that his hands and feet are also like the claws and toes of a dragon; Others say he has four faces.

What's more strange is that the Yellow Emperor babbled at birth and was able to walk soon.

At the age of ten, he left Shouqiu, studied with teachers everywhere, traveled around famous mountains and rivers, and never came back.

(2) The Legend of Shao Hao

A long time ago, the Jade Emperor had seven daughters as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade. The youngest daughter was named Huang E.

Orioles are smart, hardworking and kind. When I was a teenager, I could pick mulberry and raise silkworms, and I could reel silk and brocade.

Early in the morning, she often covered herself with sunset glow and rocked the boat to climb branches and pick mulberry trees on the poor mulberry tree at the source of Tianhe River.

This poor mulberry tree is the king of the forest. Its head is like an umbrella and mulberry leaves are like fans.

Flowers bloom once every five thousand years and bear fruit once every ten thousand years.

That kind of purple agate mulberry can live forever if you eat one.

Orioles love this tree very much and often water and fertilize it.

After picking mulberry leaves, sit under the tree and sing or dance.

One day, when she was singing, she suddenly heard a melodious piano sound, as if she were accompanying herself.

Looking back, I saw a young man with fine features playing the piano at her not far away! Seeing Huang E looking at him, the young man politely introduced himself and said, "My name is Venus. I listen to your singing every day and am moved by your touching singing. "

From then on, Venus and oriole became good friends, and then love sprouted from friendship.

A year later, they built several huts under the poor mulberry tree and held a simple wedding.

Men plow, women weave, husbands sing and women follow.

Soon, another son was born, named Shao Hao. This small family is very happy.

Later, when the jade emperor knew about it, he was very angry. He sent a heavenly soldier to drive them into the Heavenly Prison, and drove Shao Hao out of the Heavenly Palace and landed on earth.

At this time, Shao Hao is a handsome boy.

Shao Hao fell to the shore of Surabaya.

At that time, there were only a few families on the shore of Surabaya. People regard him as a fairy and make him a leader.

Shao Hao led everyone to farm, plant mulberry and raise silkworms, and lived a good life.

Because the land here is fertile and Sang Ma is everywhere, more and more people come here, and it soon developed into a prosperous town. Shao Hao named it Poor Sangyi, and on this basis, established the State of Shao Hao.

Later, with the expansion of the territory, Shao Hao moved the capital to Qufu.

(3) The legend of Nishan

Shu is very old. He has nine daughters and only one lame son. He wanted another son, so he proposed to Yan's family.

The Yan family has three sisters. Eldest brother and second brother are too old to marry Shu.

The third child, Yan Zheng, obeyed his father's orders and married him.

After the marriage, the couple went to Niqiu Mountain to pray for God to bless Yan Sheng with a good son.

Sure enough, Yanshi soon became pregnant and gave birth to a boy.

But the child is ugly, and the top is like an inverted jar (low in the middle and high on all sides); There are seven kinds of exposure on the face: eye exposure, nose exposure, mouth exposure, and ear exposure.

Seeing that the child was ugly, Yan sighed, "What a bitter day.

How can you support an adult like this! "Uncle Geliang was even sadder, so he left the child at the foot of Nishan and left.

It was hot and the child was crying on the ground.

Suddenly, a tiger came down from the mountain, circled around the child several times, and then took it to the cave to feed the child on time.

At the same time, an eagle flew in and fanned the child with its wings.

This is the "phoenix begets tiger, keeps eagle fan" passed down from generation to generation.

This cave is the existing Confucius Cave (also known as Hannah Quinlivan Cave).

Besides, after the child was abandoned, Yan was very sad, so she often wandered at the foot of Nishan Mountain.

On this day, she was walking on the path on the front slope of the foothills when she suddenly heard a child crying. She followed the sound and found a chubby boy in the cave. She picked him up and saw that it was her own son.

Yanshi was overjoyed and hurried back with her child in her arms.

In order to get home quickly, Yan desperately climbed the ditch and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Suddenly, her skirt was caught on a thorn in a jujube tree. Yan was very angry and said to the jujube tree, "Don't get in the way.

Let Nishan know that you will be uprooted. "Say, conveniently will hang a jujube skirt opened.

Since then, all the jujube thorns here have grown down.

This is still the case today.

Yan walked tired and thirsty with her child in her arms, and then looked at the child, and her body was dirty.

At this time, she saw a well, so she stepped forward, gently put down the child and wanted to get some water.

But she walked around the well, but she couldn't reach the water, so she said to herself, "Well, if only I could move you down and let the water flow out!" " I didn't know she had just finished when she heard the sound of running water.

When Yanshi saw it, the well really tilted, and a stream of clear water flowed south from the wellhead.

Yan thanked the gods with folded hands, and then drank with spring water in her hand.

The water is sweet and fragrant, which makes people feel refreshed. Suddenly, you are not tired at all.

She scooped up fresh water, bathed the children, and then returned to the village.

Since then, the shaft wall of this well has been tilted, and the spring water has been gushing all the year round, and it is still next to Yanmuzhuang.

The spring water flows south to form a stream. Later, people bathed in spring water to commemorate Confucius as a source of wisdom, so they called this stream Zhiyuan Creek.
