Haiyan Heqing Four O’clock Days - Chapter 77

  Chapter 77 [Can Ju Qiufeng] The white shadow flies over the river and the geese fly in the south and the dew has caught the sky and the black bird [白露·Second]

  White gauze covers the river and autumn dew,

   Grey geese skimming water drainage resistance.

  Fortunately, the farmer eats potato,

  Jie Yan Shenzhou Yu Wang Shu.

  The longan tree is an ownerless tree. It shouldn’t know when it was caught by a bird and fell on the ground. After a few years, it grew bigger and bigger, and taller and taller.

  Nature gifted to people and things that pass through can’t be monopolized. Bai Lu took a few of Meng Jiuzhou and left with Jiuzhou.

  It was a day in a flash, and time passed quickly…

  Through the clouds, you can vaguely see a swarm of geese fluttering from the distant mountains. These grey geese come from the north to the south at this time of the year and are never absent.

  The grey geese passed the water surface and were about to stop at the bank of the riverside. The wind brought by the wings shook the river water, discharging water ripples after another.

The mid-air above the   River was filled with a mist of water like flowing clouds, which should look like morning dew with nowhere to cling.

As the grey geese fluttered their wings, the mist flicked across gently, like a white tulle, as if to wrap the grey geese, or maybe they were just whispering to the geese, asking them about the beautiful scenery of the north. .

   chasing the wild goose and walked to the nearby farmhouse. At this time, the farmhouse had just harvested the sweet potatoes and was roasting them to eat. When they saw Kyushu and Bailu, they invited one person and one immortal to taste the farmhouse’s own sweet potatoes.

  ”Girl, this sweet potato is the same as the roasted sweet potato you bought outside, but it’s a little smaller, just roasted.” The hostess of the farmer saw Kyushu curiously watching them build a campfire to roast sweet potatoes, and said.

  ”Take a few to taste. It tastes very good. Now the weather is a bit wet and cold. Eat it comfortably while it’s hot.”

   Kyushu was embarrassed to ask for it, and rejected it several times. In the end, Bailu gave the money. The hostess of the farmer embarrassedly accepted it, and Kyushu took the sweet potato.

  I ate sweet potatoes. Kyushu felt that it was much more delicious than the sweet potatoes at the roasted sweet potato stalls on the roadside. The sweetness was more aromatic. Maybe this was because the sweet potatoes were just shaved out of the morning dew, right?

  ”Little girl, do you think you also came out to play with your sister?” The peasant hostess saw that Kyushu liked her sweet potatoes very much, and she was very proud.

   “The King Yu is the Great Yu who controls the water. This sacrifice to King Yu is organized every year by the fishermen in our village near Taihu Lake.”

  Of course, Kyushu knows who Dayu is. It is said that Dayu ruled the water and divided the world into Kyushu, namely: Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, and Jingzhou.

   And Meng Kyushu’s name was chosen by the Kyushu mother, hoping that Kyushu can have the world in mind, protect the people of Yanhuang land like Kyushu’s father, water the flowers of Yanhuang land like myself, and make selfless dedication for the people of Yanhuang land.

   Kyushu recalled the pride in her words when her mother told her the origin of her name, and she couldn’t help but feel a little stunned.

The peasant hostess thought it was a child who did not know who “Dayu” was, and continued to explain, “Dayu went through the house three times and never entered, even if his father Gun (gǔn) was exiled because of poor water management, and died. For the funeral, Dayu still doesn’t care, just to dredge the flood.”

   “Only in this way, the land was fertile and people were protected from the flood.”

  ”Dayu was unselfish, and it was also a rare wisdom that he did not block water and reverse sparseness.”

   Speaking of the deeds of Dayu, the peasant mistresses who worshiped the **** Yu are as precious as every family.

   Kyushu nodded. My mother told her these stories. I didn’t expect that the contexts of China Shenzhou and Yanhuang Dadi were so similar, and they were really in the same line as the paintings on the murals.

  As the hostess of the farmer went to see King Yu, in fact, many worship procedures are not very different, but the objects of worship are different, which all contain people’s feelings of gratitude and worship.

  Looking at the statue of King Yu, Kyushu remembered the heroes who fought the flood-they are the “God of Yu” of this era! Dayu Shangnai commanded the canal, but they used their bodies to construct the embankment and protect the villages downstream…

  Kyushu always couldn’t control his tears about these heroic things, and shed tears unknowingly when thinking about it…

  　　① Dayu’s control of water: Dayu’s control of water (Gunyu) is an ancient Chinese myth and legend, the famous ancient flood legend. He is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. During the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Yellow River was flooded. The two Emperors Gun and Yu were ordered by Emperors Yao and Shun, Ren Chongbo and Xia Bo to control the water. Dayu divided China into nine prefectures based on the geographical conditions of mountains and rivers, namely: Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, and Jingzhou.
