The following is the origin of this word:
According to legend, a family named Ye gave birth to two sons in Luoyuan County, Fujian Province in the early years. Unfortunately, they all do nothing but hang out in casinos all day.
I left my sick father at home for a few days. Their uncle is a member of the public and has more money, so they often think of their father.
Cheat money on the pretext of buying medicine and gamble at his house. Once, they lost all their money, came home, saw their father dying, and cheated at their uncle's house.
Twenty taels of silver, but all lost. When I got home, I found my father had passed away. They had to go to my uncle's house again and explain why. this
At that time, my uncle happened to have official business, so he took fifty taels to let them bury his father. I hate it when they take it to the casino and lose everything, and finally use grass.
Sweep his father's body and be carried to the mountain for burial. On the way, I met a thunderstorm, and the loose soil collapsed, which just wrapped my father tightly.
Real. A few days later, my uncle asked his two brothers to take him to see his father's grave, but along the way, he repeatedly praised the mountains and rivers here.
It looks like a sleeping cow, pointing to the position of its head, body and tail. Finally, he sighed, if their father was buried in the straw mat,
It's nice here. The brothers asked why. My uncle explained that if your father is buried in the place where cows sleep, you have the best feng shui.
We are very lucky. This cow likes eating grass. If your father's body is wrapped in straw mats, your brothers will be either rich or expensive.
Hearing this, the two brothers knelt down, told the story and made up their minds to turn over a new leaf. My uncle gave each of them twelve taels of silver to do it.
For the money, they were instructed to join the army. Finally, the elder brother officer went to our time, and the younger brother officer went to the Ministry of War as an assistant minister. When I came back to China in rags, I wanted to repay my father.
Thanks to their upbringing, they washed away the previous reputation of unfilial. They rebuilt the grave for their father and wrote "To sleep with cows" on the tombstone.
A big word. "Respect the sleep of cattle" comes from this.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaders invaded the coastal areas of Fujian, and the descendants of Luoyuanye moved to the northern port of Pingyang, Zhejiang Province, which also made this custom.
Brought it to Pingyang North Port.
The ancients believed that the "land where cattle slept" was a blessed land for a long time, and they believed that building a cemetery here could make future generations promoted and made a fortune. mutually
Legend has it that this is related to Tao Kan, the great-grandfather of Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. When Tao Kan lost his father and was about to be buried, his family suddenly lost a cow, Tao Kan.
Looking around, I met an old man on the road and told him that I saw a cow sleeping in the mud on the mountain ahead. If I bury the dead in that place,
The party and future generations will be able to "be an extraordinary minister." Tao Kan buried his father accordingly, and it was fulfilled.
