What is the legend of "King Mo Yi" in Xiaoshanxia, Hechi, Guangxi?

The legend of King Mo Yi is widely circulated in Hechi, Nandan, Yishan, Liucheng and other Zhuang areas. Besides legends, the story of King Mo Yi is also circulated among Zhuang people in the form of epic, drama and dance. "King Mo Yi" is a god worshipped by people in northern Zhuang areas. Accordingly, some areas have "King Mo Yi" temples, and there is a festival in memory of "King Mo Yi" every June. It can be seen that King Mo Yi has a great influence on Zhuang nationality, so it is necessary to study and discuss the legend of King Mo Yi. Therefore, the legend has always been concerned by the academic circles, and many articles about the legend can be found in books and periodicals, such as Qin Deqing's "The Explicit and Implicit Structural Connotation of the Prototype of King Mo Yi and the Cultural Psychology of Zhuang Nationality" [1]; Qin Guiqing's "On the Flying Head of King Mo Yi" [2], Gu Lezhen's "Zhuang local folk god Mo Yi Wang Kao" [3]; Yang Shuzhe's Worship of King Mo Yi of Zhuang Nationality in Central Guangxi and Its Implication [4] and so on. Some of these articles analyze the deep meaning of King Mo Yi from the perspective of culturology, and their opinions are quite original; There are also some articles that use the method of philology to research the prototype of the legendary hero king, or that Wang is a descendant of the founder of Nandanmo in Guangxi in the Song Dynasty, or that he is a grandson. People who hold these two views are eloquent and have a good argument. The author was inspired by the previous article, but I really don't agree with the textual research words that historicize the legendary figures. Today, I don't want to be superficial, but I also want to express my views and humble opinions on the prototype of the legendary "Mo Yi Wang Da" in order to discuss with your generous families.

Among the Zhuang people, there are many the legend of heroes similar to the king, such as the legend of Cenxun, the legend of Cen, the legend of Chen Hongdan, the legend of simplicity, the legend of the king of one tooth and so on. These legends reflect the same theme, and they all tell the stories of heroes who used magic and magic to resist the imperial power. Although there are some different plots, there are more similar plots. So I think the above legends can be roughly summarized into the same legend. In order to facilitate the research, according to Selected Stories of Zhuang Nationality [5], Tales of Tianyang County [6] and Selected Works of Guangxi Folk Literature [7], as well as the introduction of Wang Legend in the above papers and related field materials, the common plot units in this legend type are summarized as follows:

1. The birth of the hero is very strange, or he was pregnant because of Feng Shui, or he was not born by human beings, or he was born after several years of pregnancy.

2. Heroes study or be officials in Beijing or far away from home.

He wears flying boots or sleeps on a horse and his wife every night.

4. The wife was pregnant and was misunderstood by her mother (stepmother) and neighbors, leaving a hero's boots as evidence.

The hero missed the opportunity to go to school or appear in court because he didn't have boots. He waved or shot an arrow to make the sun set.

6. Because the sun sets or an arrow hits the palace, the emperor or others panic and the hero is killed.

7. The hero went home head to head, and everyone asked: Can he be resurrected after breaking his head? Stepmother or pregnant woman etc. Can't answer.

8. When the hero died, his wife put his body in the jar and watered it with rice porridge for forty-nine days.

9. Mom (stepmother) found that it was opened in 48 days, and it was still porridge.

10. A villain or bee in armor was poured out of the altar. Because the villain's bones are soft and the bees' wings are not hard, the emperor escaped.

1 1. Bamboo was born in the place where the hero's body was buried. The hero once again gave his wife a dream, none of which was bought for 100 yuan.

12. When the emperor passed this level, he bought bamboo as a sedan chair pole when the sedan chair pole was broken. His wife sells one hundred dollars, and his mother (stepmother) sells ninety-nine dollars.

13. The bamboo was broken, and the child with the gun jumped out of the bamboo, and the bone was too soft and fell to the ground.

14. The heroic cause finally failed.

Every year, on the second day of the sixth lunar month, people in northern Guangxi celebrate King Mo Yi Festival, also known as Grain Temple Fair. In memory of King Mo Yi's contribution to saving the Zhuang nationality.
