The legend of the first jar in the world

According to legend, a long time ago, there was an ancient village called Cheche Village near Qionghai, Xichang. Cheche Village faces the sea, sunny and surrounded by green hills; The fragrance of rice is overflowing, and the crops are abundant. People live a quiet and peaceful life here.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the county magistrate E was appointed by the court to take his son E Dalun all the way to the remote Xichang for inspection. Because of the long journey, Hubei Zhifu was not acclimatized all the way. Despite the careful care of his son and servants, his health is still deteriorating. A group of people arrived in Xichang, and the magistrate of Hubei Province became ill and died.

Because of his father's burial, his son, Adalun, is looking for a treasure trove of geomantic omen around Xichang. I happened to meet a Mr. Lai Xing Feng Shui who traveled all over the world. Mr lai xing feng shui asked, "do you want to be a vassal or an emperor?" Ye Dalun blurted out: "Of course I want to be emperor." Mr. Feng Shui closed his eyes and mysteriously pointed to the direction of Cheche Village. Prompted by Mr. Feng Shui, Dasha Dalun immediately took people to Cheche Village and went up the mountain to dig around for Long Mai. People dug into the western hills at sunset in the morning, and finally found a barrel of thick purple trunk protruding in front of everyone in a place where purple gas was covered and light smoke was scattered.

Cheche Village really has Long Mai. At that time, everyone rushed to touch it. In desperation, Dalun shouted: "Don't move, this is my Long Mai!" Say that finish and jump on it. Unexpectedly, the trunk snapped and the flood went straight into the sky. In an instant, torrential rain fell from the sky, floods rushed thousands of miles, and villages and rice fields were flooded. It was the 7749th day after the rainstorm, and Cheche Village fell into the abyss of pain. The whole village is infested with pestilence, trees wither and crops fail, and the villagers are preparing to leave home and emigrate. ...

At this time, the little red fish living in Qionghai was anxious and sad. She has been praying for Cheche Village. She even swam ashore at the risk of being killed by the scorching sun, asking the Jade Emperor to relieve the pain for Cheche Village. The kindness of the little red fish touched the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The Dragon King asked her to give people in Cheche Village a dream, and told them to burn the world's largest water tank and put it near Long Mai to catch the flood from Long Mai, so that Cheche Village would be as peaceful as before.

Inspired by the Dragon King, the little red fish remembered Zhang Tianbao, a young man who often came to the seaside to play. This man is smart and simple. He often feeds fish and shrimp in the sea. That night, Little Red Fish entrusted her dream to Zhang Tianbao. After waking up, Zhang Tianbao was dubious. However, in order to save the people in Cheche Village, he led the villagers to collect the best yellow mud, cut it into a green bar tree and began to burn the largest jar in the world.

In order to shape the vat, Zhang Tianbao's hands were worn out and his eyes were red. Three months later, the mold of the vat was completed. When the villagers saw the exhausted Tianbao burning the vat, half the sky was red. The jar burned for three days and nights, and the yellow clay mold became a golden jar. Zhang Tianbao succeeded, and the whole village was jubilant and rushed to tell each other.

Soon, the men in the village were carrying eight big poles, and the women were beating drums to carry the big water tank to the broken place in Long Mai. I saw the broken trunk turned into a Huanglong. When the gushing flood was spit into the vat from its mouth, it turned into a trickle, which magically infiltrated into the ground along the vat and flowed into Qionghai.

The flood was under control, and the villagers couldn't help cheering loudly and singing and dancing all night. Since then, Cheche Village has returned to a prosperous year. In order to commemorate the happy life brought by the "No.1 jar in the world", the villagers began to burn water tanks, and water tanks were placed in front of every household to exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings. Cheche Village was renamed Yao Gang Village.
