There is such a custom among the people. Generally speaking, the five big words " Jiang Taigong is here" must be written on the doors of the cow pen. It is said. Write the name of Jiang Ziya on the door of a cow pen or pigpen to protect the livestock from plague. Because Jiang Ziya's wife became the "plague god" and specifically harmed folk livestock, Jiang Ziya had to go out to deal with her and became the "Six Livestock God".

Legend, Jiang Taigong Jiang Ziya met King Wen at the age of 80, so he asked him to be a military advisor, raised the flag of righteousness, and led his troops to attack Zhou. Jiang Ziya really had a few tricks. After fighting for several years, he overthrew Shang Dynasty and captured the world for King Wen.

One day, the Jade Emperor in the sky issued an imperial edict, ordering Jiang Ziya to be appointed as the god, saying that no matter whether it is the enemy or our side, all the meritorious soldiers who die on the battlefield will be rewarded according to their merits. Entrust a god's name.

Jiang Ziya ordered his subordinates to build a seven-star platform, raise a colorful flag, and set up an incense table on the temple platform in the middle, and three cannons were fired. Jiang Ziya took the stage.

was blocked from morning to evening. He stood up, stretched his waist, and was about to leave the stage. In fact, someone from the audience shouted. Jiang Ziya looked closely and saw that it was no one else. It turned out to be his wife Ma, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

" Come and ask!"

Jiang Ziya was angry when he heard this, "What? You want to ask for a ban too? These soldiers with bans are all born and die. The hero, the warrior stained the battlefield with blood, what kind of virtue do you have? Why don’t you go back soon! "Have you heard this, the lady of

not only did not leave, but stood up, put her hips on her hips and said, "Okay! Are you pretending to be serious? Is there no me in your conquest? Cooking and washing clothes, isn’t I going to be less than me? You have to be this god, that god, even the god in your own family! Today, you have to be sealed, and you have to be sealed, and you have to be sealed if you don’t seal it. Otherwise, I will lie here and not go back." After saying that, she rolled all over the ground and started to splash.

Jiang Ziya was stunned when she saw her wife's appearance: This... this is so polite in this public occasion, it is impossible to add a seal. He glared at his wife fiercely and cursed angrily: "Why don't you leave quickly? You plague god!"

This is really the saying is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. When the wife heard Jiang Ziya say the word "plague god", she thought this was the title of the title given to the ground, so she got up and patted the soil on her butt and left. Along the way, she smiled. Finally got a ban. However, I can’t understand what kind of official this “plague god” is?

She went to ask others for advice, but others couldn't figure it out, so she told her perfunctorily: This "plague god" is probably an official who specializes in the civilians, right? Back then, Monkey King was officially named " Bima Wen ". Isn't it just to feed horses in Royal Horse Supervisor ? His official name has the character "Wen", and your god name also has the character "Peasian".

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she took office happily and left. When I got to the people, I saw that the livestock were all cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, etc. She was very angry and thought Jiang Ziya was fooling her and was named such a dirty official.

"Hmph, I'll kill all these animals. Do you still seal me?"

She entered the cow pen and came out of the pig pen, and killed the animals when she saw them. As a result, countless livestock were killed by her overnight.

Someone told Jiang Ziya about this, and when Jiang Ziya heard this, she became angry! Is this so great? He ordered his subordinates to immediately write the five big words "Jiang Ziya is here" on the cow pens and pigpens of each household. The

trick really worked. When the lady ran to the place where the livestock was closed, she saw the big words "Jiang Ziya is here" written on the door, so she didn't dare to be rash, so she had to walk away from afar.

has been passed down from generation to generation. Later, out of respect for Jiang Ziya, people changed "Jiang Ziya here" to "Jiang Taigong here". Some people write it as "The Taigong is here, the gods abdicate"

Folk fairy tale: Crying about the son and accepting his wife

According to legend, after the Weaver Girl was captured by the heavenly soldiers and generals, her two children were left to the Cowherd. Children miss their mother, husbands look forward to their wife, cry all day long, and life is very sad.

One day, the Cowherd suddenly remembered the instructions of the old cow when he was dying. He carried a pair of children, stepped on the old cow's skin, rushing to the sky palace, and chasing him. The Cowherd walked into the Heavenly Palace and searched for it, but he couldn't find the Weaver Girl. Finally, under the guidance of the kind god, I met Queen Mother . He and his children cried and made trouble, and insisted that the Queen Mother hand over the Weaver Girl.

Cowherd also swore to the Queen Mother: "If you don't hand over your children's mother and my wife, you will die in the Heavenly Palace and never go back."

Crying and making trouble for five or six days, making a fuss, and the Queen Mother couldn't eat and sleep well, and couldn't think of any way to deal with Cowherd. On the seventh day, Queen Mother thought about it all night and finally came up with a plan to deal with the Cowherd. She called the Cowherd to her and said, "You ran to the Heavenly Palace to find your wife. Do you know your wife?"

Cowherd said, "We loving couples have lived together for many years and have children. How can we not know each other? As long as you can release my wife and let her stand in front of me. , I must recognize it."

Queen Mother said, "What if you can't recognize it?"

Cowherd hurriedly replied, "I would rather carry my children home and never come to heaven again."

"I'm afraid that you will not keep your word?" Queen Mother was afraid that Cowherd would regret it, so she deliberately provoked him.

"I'm still afraid that you will regret it." Cowherd said, "A gentleman's words are as good as his horse, and my Cowherd's words are counted!"

"Okay." The Queen Mother said, "Come on! Come out and ask him to recognize him." With a command, seven fairies floated from afar, standing in front of Cowherd in unison, letting him recognize him. When the Cowherd saw it, he was shocked and shocked. He never expected that the seven fairies, who were dressed differently, were average tall and looked the same, and they really couldn't recognize which one was his wife.

He said to the Queen Mother, "My wife has a mole on the back of her neck."

The Queen Mother said, "Daughters, lower her head and let the mole leak out for the Cowherd to see."

Seven fairies all lowered their heads, revealing a mole.

What should I do? The Cowherd is in trouble. Did he just take his children back like this? No, no! He looked at his children who were anxious to see his mother, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he came up with a good idea. So he hurriedly picked up his son, twisted his ass twice, and his son burst into tears with a "wow".

As the saying goes, a child is the mother's heart, the dog is born and the cat is hurt. Weaver Girl Seeing her son crying pitifully, her face turned cold, her heart moved, and tears flowed out. The Cowherd was clear-headed and quick-witted. He hurriedly grabbed the Weaver Girl and shouted loudly: "This is my wife, this is my wife!"

When his children saw their biological mother, they also cried and threw themselves into the Weaver Girl's arms.

Cowherd said to the Queen Mother: "What should I do? I recognized the Weaver Girl, let her follow us!"

Queen Mother saw that the Queen Mother really recognized the Weaver Girl, and didn't know what to do for a moment. Then he turned his face and said, "Cowherd, let me tell you the truth. You are an ordinary child. How can you be a married woman with the fairy in the Heavenly Palace? You are about to die! " After saying that, he pulled out the silver hairpin from his head and pulled away a pair of children. He drew a rolling river of heaven among them, and separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on both sides of the river. However, later the Queen Mother still expressed her kindness, and on July 7th every year, they were allowed to meet again.
