Wu Gang
conquered Gui
The
story of Chang'e has been processed and interpreted by successive dynasties,
and has long been changed beyond recognition. Many places are contradictory and
cannot be justified. However, this is normal. History can be fabricated, let
alone myths and legends. If you say it or listen to it, don't take it
seriously.
Agudengba
smiled and said to the coachman Azhuo:
How
did Chang'e live her life alone in the Guanghan Palace of the Moon? Yes, in the
long night, Chang'e was alone at first, living in the lonely and cold Guanghan
Palace. "She felt sad and mournful, and there was no way to
continue." This kind of empty and lonely time lasted for a long time.
However, you don’t have to worry about Chang’e. The fabricators of the past
dynasties were not idle. They fabricated a god and came to Chang'e. This god is
Wu Gang. So this man entered Chang'e's world.
Wu
Gang's prototype is named Wu Quan in the "Book of Mountains and
Seas". This Wu Gang was originally a mortal, but he had great ambitions
and determined to be an immortal, so he went out to seek immortality and learn
Taoism.
Wu
Gang was from Xihe. He went out to study Taoism for three years. Boling, the
grandson of Emperor Yan, the sun god, took advantage of Wu Gang's three years
away from home to study Taoism. He had an affair with Wu Gang's wife and gave
birth to three sons, one named Gu, one named Yan, and Wu Gang's wife. One is
called Shu.
Three
years later, Wu Gang returned to his hometown with a successful academic career
and wanted to give his wife a surprise. However, he sadly discovered that while
he was away from home, his wife had an affair with a man named Boling next door
and gave birth to three children. A son.
Is
it tolerable or not? ! Wu Gang was furious and killed the adulterer directly.
This
time he got into trouble. It turned out that the adulterer Boling was not an
ordinary person, but a second-generation official. He was the grandson of
Emperor Yan, the sun god. Although beheading an adulterer is to uphold ethical
principles and the crime will not lead to death, killing a relative of the
emperor and the nation must be punished.
Emperor
Yan is the sun god, lives in high temperatures all day long, and is
particularly afraid of the cold, so he naturally feels that sending Wu Gang to
a bitter and cold place must be the most severe punishment. In addition, he
knew that in order to make a person bad, it was best to let him make mistakes
in the relationship between men and women, so he decided to exile Wu Gang to a
cold place where he could easily have stories with single women - the moon was
of course the best choice. .
Another
reason why Emperor Yan made this decision is that Emperor Yan and Chang'e also
had a deep hatred. Back then, Chang'e's husband Houyi shot down nine suns in a
row, which caused Emperor Yan's strength to drop sharply and his status in the
fairy world to plummet.
The
hatred of shooting the sun is irreconcilable. Emperor Yan sent Wu Gang to the
moon and assigned him a boring and never-ending job: cutting down an osmanthus
tree that could never be cut down. The tree would never die, and the cut
branches would immediately regenerate. Grow up. As time goes by, Wu Gang will
definitely get tired, he will definitely feel empty, lonely and boring, and
something will happen to Chang'e. Yes, let Hou Yi wear a cuckold, and I will
let you shoot at the sun randomly. Hum, kill two birds with one stone, kill two
eagles with one stone. Only in this way can I understand my heart. hate.
Emperor
Yan's brain was obviously damaged by the fire. This stupid decision inadvertently
helped Chang'e. The originally deserted Guanghan Palace gained a bit of life
because of Wu Gang's arrival.
Wu
Gang was sent to the cold moon. When he first arrived, Wu Gang still stubbornly
believed that as long as he persevered and never gave up, sooner or later he
would cut down the osmanthus tree. As long as he completed the task, he could
return to the world. .
Therefore,
Wu Gang was focused on nothing else every day. When he saw Chang'e, he just
said hello politely, and then went to and from work day and night, just cutting
down trees.
Chang'e
saw that Wu Gang was so confused about his style, so she had to put down her
body, put on her sexiest and most revealing clothes, dressed up carefully, and
went to find Wu Gang.
"Brother Angkor, what are you doing?"
Chang'e was speechless.
"Didn't you see me working?" Wu
Gang didn't even look up.
"Well, I, I..." Chang'e looked shy
and hesitated to speak.
Wu
Gang stopped the axe, wiped the sweat from his head, and asked, "What's
wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
Chang'e
blushed and said coyly: "I feel a little cold."
Although
Wu Gang was stupid, he was still a married man. Seeing Chang'e like this, he
understood something in his heart. He immediately stopped what he was doing,
walked over and said with concern: "Look at you, you are so cold and you
are wearing such clothes." Master, come here, take the axe, chop down the
sweet-scented osmanthus tree a few times and it will warm up."
Historical
records record that this laurel tree is five hundred feet high, with one foot
being 3 meters. Moreover, the laurel tree has a particularly strong
regeneration ability and adapts to the tree's growth, so there is no end to Wu
Gang's cutting down of laurel trees here.
There
are no students who cannot teach, only teachers who cannot teach. Under
Chang'e's continuous enlightenment and guidance, Wu Gang finally realized that
there was no future for him to cut down trees, and that it was important to
seize the present moment.
As
soon as his thoughts changed, Wu Gang's life opened a new page. So, did Chang'e
and Wu Gang have that kind of relationship? This, how should I put it, there is
no record of this in historical materials.
Agudengba
smiled and said to the coachman Azhuo:
For
thousands of years, a lonely man and a widowed woman have treated each other
like guests in the moon palace and have always maintained a pure friendship.
After dinner every day, they say good night to each other and then go back to
their respective rooms to rest. Do you believe it?
Coachman
Azhuo said: Through the stories of the two families of Hou Yi and Wu Gang, I
came to the conclusion that separation between the two places is not the root
cause of infidelity. You see, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have been
separated for thousands of years, and they are not living well. of.
Agudenba
smiled:
Wu
Ganghuan did not cheat. Wu Gang's wife felt guilty, so she let her eldest son
and youngest son fly to the moon and turned into a toad and a jade rabbit,
spending the lonely and endless years with their father. This is the folk
legend of Wu Gang's expedition to Guangxi.
Agudengba
sang a song "Wu Gang's Expedition of Gui":
There is a man named Wu Gang,
I went away for three years to
study Taoism.
Determined to be a god.
Returning home in fine clothes and
studying successfully,
Unexpectedly, my wife has cheated
on me.
He left behind three illegitimate
children.
Is it tolerable or not?
Wu Gang became furious,
Kill the adulterer and cause great
trouble.
Adulterers are not ordinary
people;
It turned out that he was a
second-generation official.
His grandfather is Emperor Yan.
Emperor Yan was originally the sun
god,
Send Wu Gang to the moon,
Let him cut down the sweet-scented
osmanthus tree.
This laurel tree will never die,
After cutting the branches, they
will be reborn.
Emperor Yan took revenge to vent
his anger.
Originally, Guanghan Palace was
deserted.
Wu Gang came to add breath,
Chang'e is lonely and tender.
Unfortunately, Wu Gang didn't
appreciate it.
I would rather be punished by
cutting down the osmanthus tree,
Don’t kneel down in the face of
power and sex.
Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
