fairy tale kingdom
Where is the fairyland where the elves live? Today, this is still a mystery. Sometimes, she seems to be at the other end of the horizon, but sometimes, she is right under our feet. Sometimes, people think that fairyland has a real place in geography, although it will keep moving.
For example, the Welsh believe that Wonderland was originally located in the northern part of their mountains, then moved to the mysterious and foggy West Peninsula in Pembrokeshire, and finally moved to the islands near the Irish Channel. Sailors have witnessed fairyland several times and even set foot on it, but fairyland always disappears suddenly and strangely. Even so, the residents of Wonderland occasionally appear in the downtown areas of Lawn and milford Haven disguised as customers. The Irish call Phantom Island "Hybresil". The British people think that the Isle of Man is a fairyland, and it is indeed an island full of fairy tales and documents.
Avalon is probably the most famous fairy island. King Artur, described by Lydgate, a famous poet in the17th century, was taken to Avalon after being fatally wounded and guarded by four elves. Legend has it that King Arthur is still sleeping in the Elf Valley with his Round Table Warrior, and will wake up when he needs his strength to rule the British Isles again.
Hollow hill
Freeland is like the capital of a royal city in the fairy tale world. Besides, there are many fairies scattered in other places. According to their living habits, they can be divided into several categories: living alone, small families and social organizations. Some of them live in fields and forests, while others choose to blend in with trees. Old forts, ruins, mounds, etc. It's a typical goblin residence. Among them, the most famous Xianju is Konggu Mountain. At night, there will be countless tiny lights shining on these elf mountains. Every year on August 7th (Lammas Tide), these sunken hills are automatically covered with stone pillars, and then the brilliant light of fairies will appear. Elves don't resist people looking at them kindly, but they don't show their faces in front of people casually, so if they want to enter the hollow hill, they have to walk around the hill nine times on a full moon night before the entrance will appear.
If you don't have the courage to go in, you can stick your ear to the ground so that you can hear the elves playing. In addition to being a residence, hollow hills are also places where gold is buried and used for funerals, such as King Arthur mentioned earlier. There was also a king, King Sill, who was buried in the depths of Silbury Mountain in Wiltshire, England, wearing golden armor and riding his horse. Because the empty valley mountain is such an important place, the elves severely punish those intruders who are presumptuous and blasphemous. According to Father F.Warne's record, in 1854, several gold diggers who were eager to dig for treasure dug on an elf hill, but turned a deaf ear to the warning rumbling noise around them, but in the end they found nothing.
As a result, it is amazing and terrible that all these intruders died of illness or accident within one month, even for no reason. They all paid the price with their lives for their arrogant behavior.

If you have the opportunity to be invited to an elf's banquet in the Empty Valley Villa, you must be careful and refuse their food and drinks. If you eat elf food, you will be locked up there forever and never come back to this world.
This concept is very similar to the legend of Pinna in prosser in the afterlife, and there is another legend that can make people see the similarities between Hades and the elf banquet. On a hill in Glastonbury.
There is a small room under Thor, where a hermit named St. Koren lives. He refused to attend several banquets hosted by the castle that suddenly appeared on the mountain. Later, Coren finally moved his heart, climbed the hill and entered the beautiful castle. There, he saw groups of handsome young men and women, groups of heroic soldiers and guards, and servants in red and blue brocade uniforms. Gwyn, the king there, warmly treated Collen, but he always refused to eat.
Finally, Coren said, "I won't eat leaves from trees." Later, Gwen asked Collen how he felt about his servant's uniform. Collen said, "Red is like an eternal fire; Blue as Xuan Bing for thousands of years is more in line with the identity of the devil than anything else. " After that, Collen carefully poured the holy water on the ground. In a flash, everyone and the whole castle disappeared, leaving Karen standing on the bare hill. ...
Elf music
Elf musicians have magical skills, and many famous music circulating in the world today originated from elves. The City of London is one of them. Elves are extremely keen on music. Excellent human musicians may be attracted to the country of elves.

Common words in place names
Lorraine city, castle
Demons are legendary creatures in both eastern and western cultures, but unlike people who look at dragons and phoenixes in the east and west, the general public will not be confused.
Goblins are often regarded as monsters, but the essence of goblins and monsters is actually different. The word "monster" is usually used as a general term for supernatural or horrible things, while "goblin" tends to be the embodiment of natural things and will fool human monsters.
The goblin of oriental culture
The goblin in China's mythology refers to something that is cultivated, just like cultivating immortals. Any animal, plant or tool will absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, thus becoming human or gaining human wisdom. Its name is "[prototype name]+essence". The goblins are still mainly fox spirits, in addition to snake spirits, cats, pipa, spiders, pheasants, fish, trees and flowers.
Fine things are often represented by "magic", and at the same time "magic" also represents things that deviate from the right path, so humans and immortals often punish them and have many violent conflicts. Once their identities are exposed (usually their tails are exposed, or they are illuminated by a demon mirror), they will inevitably be caught by the immortals, either destroyed or forced to embark on the immortal road, such as Bao Puzi, The Journey to the West's Romance of Gods, etc. And fairies almost always play a bad role. But there are exceptions, such as Legend of the White Snake and Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, which describe the love between many sentient fairies and human beings.
In Japanese mythology, there are countless examples of the refinement of animals and plants, but the word "essence" in Japanese is more inclined to elves. For example, "ランプの" means "the spirit of the magic lamp".
The devil of western culture
Fairy is sometimes used as another name for elves, fairies and goblins. Japanese has always called elves and fairies "goblins", but Chinese is more commonly used to call ugly and cunning Gobble.
The western elves live in Shui Ze like the China elves, but the difference is that the elves have their own country and society (please refer to A Midsummer Night's Dream). The image of elves is closer to loveliness and beauty, and it is not easy to think of evil things; Although the goblins in the west will do some bad things that are difficult to catch (usually pranks to avoid killing people), the plot of such a mage punishing goblins in the name of exorcism is not as famous as in East Asia.
On the contrary, the spirits in the West are most often confused with the immortals in China (including the gods in heaven and immortals). Their similarities have a positive image, and they all live in the so-called "fairyland". This may be the main reason why eastern and western goblins are rarely confused.
other meaning
China's "goblins" are mostly derogatory, usually referring to coquettish and dishonest people. "A Dream of Red Mansions" uses "goblin fights" to describe unbearable things. There are also formulas of "real name+essence", such as "broom essence" and "flatterer" and so on.
