What are the customs of "night marriage" in Nanyang that we don't know about?

During the Three Kingdoms period, Nanyang was an ancient city where wise men gathered. Many famous historical figures are all over Nanyang City, because it was once the place where Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, made his fortune, and talented people came forth in large numbers. It is said that Pang Tong (known as Feng Chu), who was recruited by Liu Bei at that time, often had tea and chats with Kong Ming (known as Wolong), who retired from Wolong, and talked about state affairs. They often gather in Zi Shan for sightseeing, or discuss the world situation, or talk about historical figures, or talk about the rise and fall of ancient and modern times. Later, after Pang Tong's death, he recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, and there was the story of Liu Bei's "Wolong coming out of the mountain". According to the traces of their common activities in Zishan, later generations established Feng Chu Station as a memorial. According to textual research, there is an original temple in Feng Chu Terrace, which consists of a front hall, a main hall, left and right side halls, a mountain gate and other buildings. Due to its long history and the destruction caused by war, only the ruins of terraced fields in Feng Chu remain.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, made all his sons princes, and took their fiefs as the screen vassals of the central court, which spread all over the country. Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for his 23rd son, Zhu Gui, to establish a vassal state of Tang Dynasty in Nanyang. Later, he called his mansion Tang, and all the emperors were Zhu kings. Zhu Hui regards the site of Feng Chu Terrace as a treasure trove of geomantic omen, and also comes here for recreation from time to time. Probably for the sake of divination, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, including Wang Ding, Wang Jing, Wang Xian, Wang Zhuang, Wang Cheng, Wang Jing, Wang Shun, Duan Wang, Wang Yu and some princesses, built their cemeteries in Zishan.

Later, during the annual Tomb-Sweeping Day or Hanyi Festival in the Tang Dynasty, Meixi River, the main road leading to Zi Shan, was widened and dredged, and plums and willows were planted on both sides. Every time there is a sacrifice, there are several dragon boats and cigarettes, which swim against the current and will soon reach the cemetery. In spring, willow hangs gold thread, full of green; In winter, plum blossoms are fragrant. In order to show the king's demeanor, Wang Zhu changed the stone bridge built by Lu Banxiu on Meixi River to "Wang Zhu Bridge". Zhuwang Bridge spans Meixi, which seems to have the water color of Jiangnan water town, adding the infinite charm of Meixi. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhu of the Tang Dynasty became more tyrannical and greedy, and the people of Nanyang lived in dire straits. In addition to enjoying himself in the palace, the king of Tang often took his concubines and domestic slaves by boat to Zishan along Meixi River. When he caught a glimpse of a beautiful woman, he secretly sent someone to snatch her into the palace and lived with her for three days before putting her back. Therefore, the good women of Nanyang people usually get married at night, so as not to be seen by the Tang King and taken away by Wang Fu people. This is the origin of Nanyang's "night marriage".

One day, King Zhu went to Zishan by boat and the boat arrived at Yangjiawan. When he saw a beautiful girl washing clothes by the river, he instructed his servants to rob their relatives. When the girl saw something bad, she threw away her clothes and ran away. The minions shouted, "Listen, you wife, you have three days to prepare the dowry, and we will tie a float to pick you up and marry King Zhu ...". The woman surnamed Yang, born in the twelfth lunar month, is red and white, and looks like a plum blossom in the twelfth lunar month, hence the name Yang. Yang and her neighbor Wang Qingxi didn't guess that they were married. At the critical moment when Yang's daughter is ready to marry Wang Jialang in three days, she is going to rob her relatives. How can she not let both men and women worry about their little son?

The Ming and Tang kings hijacked their relatives' ships.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the king of Zhu really sent someone to tie a float, and the gongs and drums came to rob the relatives. At this moment, two children are sitting by the river crying, and the neighbors are screaming at them. At the right moment, Zhang drove by Xiangyun and saw the dark crowd. He turned into an old man with a white beard and squeezed into the crowd. When he heard that "King Zhu plundered the people's wealth in Nanyang, built a large-scale building and built the Tang Palace, which was immoral and shameless" and "Zhang Ben shouldn't have brought Zi Shan here in a fit of pique, which led to frequent visits by King Zhu, harming others and harming himself, which caused this disaster", he was extremely angry.

Zhang rode a donkey backwards.

Just then, the mob came up to rob people, and the two children threw themselves into the river with hatred. On the same day, Zhang rode a donkey backwards through Meixi River. He really saw all this. He deeply felt sorry for these two spoony men and women, and even expressed infinite hatred for corrupt Tang. In a rage, he ordered the donkey to lift its hoof, and Asako kicked it well. Several hooves blocked Zishan python spring, and Zishan was scattered at the same time. Since then, Mangquan has never run south again, and Wang Zhu can't take a boat here. Zishan was scattered from a high mountain to 65438 today.
