Legend has it that a long time ago, the mulberry garden in Juxian County was the hometown of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. There are many touching stories circulating here. It turns out that the mulberry garden is not called "mulberry garden", but named after the cowherd in this mulberry tree. Cowherd, also not surnamed Niu, is called "Cowherd" because he lives by herding cattle. The weaver girl, originally the daughter of the Jade Emperor, was called the Nine-Day Fairy. Tired of the loneliness in the sky and envious of the beautiful scenery of the mulberry garden, she came to the world, married the cowherd, raised silkworms and weaved cloth, and people called her Weaver Girl. Cowherd was born in a family named Chen at the foot of the mountain, and his parents died early. It was a fairy in the mountain who saved him. Later, people called this mountain "fairy mountain". Cowherd has been herding cattle since he was seven years old. People often see him: wearing a small reed hat, wearing green hemp fiber and holding a flute, riding backwards on the back of an ox, wandering between Huangshan Mountain and Nanda Mountain. Every day, I go out to Tumen, cross Jingyu, wade across Qiaotou River, cross the mountain, and follow Shijiagou to Triangle Mountain. He spared the white tiger's cattle and stopped at Shangtan (regiment) and Xiatan (regiment). There is a bridle tied to the tree in Baizhuang, and it is too cold in the chestnut garden. On the way to herd cattle, he had a meal in Dongzhuang and spent the night in Xihoujiagou. Wherever he goes, he feels at home, whether it's Shi Jia, Xie Jia, Jia Fan or Dujia. While herding cattle, he raised mulberry seedlings in Sangzhuang, and then cultivated mulberry in Chahekou. Under his careful cultivation, the "mulberry garden" grew bigger and bigger. Standing under the tree, I couldn't see the sky. Looking around, it was dark and the leaves were fat. Looking at the fruits of labor in front of him, the cowherd was elated and happy from ear to ear. One day, the nine-day fairy in the sky took advantage of the jade emperor and the queen mother to attend the flat peach party and took time off to drive Xiangyun to play. When she walked past the mulberry field and leaned over to see the mulberry field of the cowherd, she couldn't walk any further. So he pressed Yuntou, disguised himself as a village girl, and came to the edge of Yuan Gong River. It happened that the cowherd was drinking cows by the river, and the two started talking. "Brother," said the village girl, "I've come a long way to visit my relatives. Who knows that my relatives have moved to other places, and it's getting late. How about staying in your mulberry garden for one night? " Cowherd blushed: "I am a bachelor, how can I take my elder sister!" " "When the village girl learned that Niulang was single, she couldn't help but feel glad:" Eldest brother, I'm 28 years old and I'm not engaged yet. If eldest brother doesn't mind, you can agree! "Cowherd said poor first, no room. The village girl replied, "You and I both have hard-working hands, so we don't lack anything. "Cowherd said again," If elder sister is sincere, then make a wish to heaven! "The village girl folded her hands, closed her eyes, made a wish to the east and made a wish to the west. Later, two villages were established here, one called "Dongyuan (Garden) Village" and the other called "Xiyuan (Garden) Village". The cowherd led the cow and walked north side by side with the village girl. He asked, "What did Big Sister do today, to solve the immediate difficulties or to consider it in the long run?" The village girl happily replied: "I am' Dae Jang Geum'! "That night, the village girl stayed and lived with the cowherd in the east and west of the building, ready to tie the knot another day. After the Cowherd and the Nine-Day Fairy combined, they first chose a treasure house in the lower reaches of the Yuan Gong River and named it "Zhaijia". In order to drink cattle conveniently, a pond was dug in the patio to store water, and it became the "king of the patio". Later, more and more houses were built, which were a mile long and named "Lizhuang". The couple go to work before dawn every morning, either in front of the mountain or behind the mountain, squatting (squatting) on the slope in the hot sun; After work at night, one goes to the top of the village and the other goes to the top of the village, which is really a pair. People praised their daughter-in-law for "willing (Yuan) to lead the family (Ling)." As the saying goes: "husband and wife are United, loess becomes gold." "After marriage, the cowherd stopped herding cattle for others, and his cattle became fatter and fatter. Fairy picks mulberry and raises silkworms every spring and summer, and weaves in autumn and winter, so it is called "Weaver Girl". The cloth he weaves is strong and beautiful, and the young couple live a beautiful life with respect and love. Three years later, the Weaver Girl gave birth to a boy and a girl, which added endless joy to this small family. There are unexpected events in the sky. On this day, the Jade Emperor suddenly felt that he hadn't seen his beloved daughter for many days, so he ordered the Queen Mother to find her at once. The queen mother is very worried! In desperation, he told the Jade Emperor the truth. This angered Lei Gong, and the Jade Emperor ordered General Lei Gong to rush to earth and catch the nine-day fairy. Lei Gong, with a hot temper, got the imperial edict and went straight to Sangyuan this time. With a burst of lightning and thunder, he waved his magic wand, first turning a mountain in the east into a "headless mountain" and then turning a tall and straight mountain in the north into a "crooked mountain"; Then, with a bang, "Longtan" and "Tiger Hill" became first-class "Tanzigang". Lift your foot to level the mulberry field, poke the gate open with a wave of your hand, and the water will rush into the leek hole, and the "storage ditch" will become a "dry ditch", and even the lush meadow will become a smooth "slate river" and "branded stone". There is no "village" in Dayu and Xiaoyu, and the weaver's shuttle has become a spindle-shaped stone. Later, this village was called "Suozhuang". After an earth-shattering ordeal, Weaver Girl was taken to heaven by Lei Gong. Fortunately, the Weaver Girl was smart enough to hide her valuables in the "Four Treasures" and "Jewellery Mountain" before she left, so as not to be copied. The cowherd was anxious and angry when he saw the Weaver Girl flying back to the sky. He picked up two children, jumped into the air and ran after them. On the verge of catching up, unexpectedly, the queen mother pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and drew it conveniently, and a Tianhe appeared in front of her eyes. The Tianhe River is very wide and the waves are very big, which separates the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Only on the night of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, there were hundreds of birds on the bridge, and the husband and wife burst into tears when they met. At this time, the mulberry field was flooded by rain, and everything was quietly moistening ...
