There is also a story about "having a baby early":
"There is a Great Wall in the north and a Lingqu in the south!" In 22 1 BC, after Qin Shihuang annexed six countries and pacified the Central Plains, Dish was ordered to "dig canals and build steep gates" to connect Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River and open up navigation channels. The steepest "steep gate" in the world is the entrance to the Lingqu of the famous Qin Dynasty water conservancy project in northern Guangxi, and it is the earliest movable dam or lock built in the world to improve shipping conditions.
According to legend, after the Lingqu was completed, Qin Shihuang authorized an officer named Ji to settle at the first steep gate of Lingqu with his entourage and family members, guarding Lingqu and 36 steep gates for generations. Some of his descendants took the place name as their surname, which was called Doumen's. Later, it was simplified to a single surname Doumen.
There is a couple named Dou Shi who live in the steep gate of Lingqu. They care about each other. The man goes out fishing for a living, while the woman grows spines (spines, which are jujube trees in Qin Feng) for a living. Every time a husband goes out fishing, his wife always puts a bag of dried dates for him to take with him to satisfy his hunger. Happy life has always been very happy.
Suddenly, one day, the husband sailed without wind and waves in the morning, but in the afternoon, a storm suddenly blew in the river and the husband never came back at night. The wife is nervous and anxious, and she wants her husband to come back. That night, several fishermen left the ship and there was no news. After the rainstorm stopped the next day, his wife and the village chief discussed gathering everyone to save people! After the boat set out, the villagers searched for three days and nights, and finally found her husband and another child 10 on an island. The child's father was killed in the storm. The wife was very excited when she saw her husband and hugged him. After returning to the village, he told how they survived. The husband said it was urgent. He and his companions fell into the water and the child was saved by him. Fortunately, they grabbed a plank and dragged it together, drifting with the strong wind. Finally, all the other fishermen were killed and the children drifted to the shore. He stayed with the children for three days with the dried dates given by his wife, and finally waited for the rescue of the villagers!
Later, the child became the son of the couple, and the following year, the couple who had no children for a long time finally gave birth to a lovely little girl. It is said that one son and one daughter are happy, and a family of four is enviable! Their deeds of planting thorns and catching fish are praised by the world as "the love of Dou Shi"! Later generations associated their story of saving children with "the wish of having a baby early". "Jujube" and "early" are homophonic. When many people hold wedding ceremonies, they can't do without jujube in the wedding bowl! It means "jujube gives birth to your son".
