After receiving the order, Che Gong repeatedly thought: "If you obey the order, you will kill your family in vain; If you don't implement it, you may commit the crime of deceiving the monarch. " After repeated thinking, I came up with a satisfactory solution. That night, Che Gong secretly ordered a family named "Wan" to move out and set fire to Wan Jia. Afterwards, Che Gong wrote a letter about burning thousands of households, burning the temples and destroying the city, and reported it to the court. The emperor read the script to celebrate world peace and national stability. At the same time, Jie people were forced to move.
Later, Jieyang people traced back to the source and named the burned place "Burning Land". In order to feel the virtue of Chegong Temple, a "Chegong Temple" was built in Yuancuotou, east of the city, and the stone bridge was named "Chegong Bridge" as a souvenir.
"Burning Ground and Chegong Bridge" has been widely celebrated among Jieyang people so far, which may be the reason why Jieyang Jie left the fief!
The glory of the Jie family comes from the battle-hardened, outstanding exploits and the seal of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The danger of family disintegration stems from an imaginary dream of an emperor, which is ironic and legendary.
Meng Jie and his descendants are now distributed in Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Hubei, Henan, Guizhou, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Inner Mongolia, Taiwan Province, Canada, Singapore, Japan, Europe and America. For thousands of years, things have changed, and people named Jie have moved from Jieyang, but their descendants have never forgotten their roots. The genealogy of all Jieshi folks in later generations called their ancestors Meng Gong, and Jieyang was the birthplace of Jieshi. Jay's descendants are a family. No matter where we meet, even strangers are brothers and sisters, showing deep affection. Jieren's unique complex of the same root is very simple and real. The affection of people who reveal their surnames fully embodies the cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese nation's big family. The Dragon Boat Festival is also called Duanyang Festival and May Festival, and the time is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
There are many theories about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, the most influential of which is a festival in memory of Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan, a Chu native in the Warring States Period, threw himself into the river on the fifth day of May because he had no choice but to serve the country. The local people struggled to rescue by boat, so they had the custom of dragon boat racing. Later, people often put food in the water to worship Qu Yuan, but most of the food was swallowed by dragons, so people wrapped bamboo leaves in glutinous rice to worship Qu Yuan in the river, so they had the custom of eating zongzi.
The customs of festivals are similar everywhere, such as eating zongzi, dragon boat racing, hanging mugwort leaves and herbs, wearing sachets and drinking red wine.
The Dragon Boat Festival we revealed also has its own uniqueness. The fourth and fifth days are continuous. There is a legend here: more than two thousand years ago, the eastern part of South Vietnam was in turmoil, making it difficult for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Zhang Bang, the king of South Vietnam, recruited brave men and led troops to pacify bandits in eastern Guangdong. At that time, Meng Jie, the magistrate of Jieyang County, was a general with both wisdom and courage. He took off the imperial list. It is close to the Dragon Boat Festival. In order to quell the bandits as soon as possible, Meng Gong sent people to investigate their activities. Knowing that the bandits would hold a banquet on the Dragon Boat Festival, Meng Gong thought it was now or never, so he decided to kill three animals one day in advance (that is, on the fourth day of May) and wrap them in jiaozi to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. Late that night, Meng Gong led his army to attack the bandit camp quietly. On the way to March, I passed a cucumber field. At this time, the soldiers were tired and thirsty. Seeing this, the melon farmers were sympathetic and took cucumbers to quench their thirst. Meng Gong limited each soldier to three cucumbers and paid melon farmers. After eating the cucumber, the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted, and they marched quickly into the bandit camp, captured the bandit leader alive, wiped out the bandits in one fell swoop and went home. In order to commemorate the achievements, we spent two days at Jie's house from the fourth day, and put three cucumbers in the sacrifice on the fourth day.
Our Jie's zongzi is very distinctive: exquisitely made, with unique ingredients and various shapes (some are asymmetrical quadrangles and some are cylindrical). The leaves used to make zongzi are wild Ailanthus altissima leaves. Cut off the thorns, remove a small part of the tail, roll it into a circle to flatten it, boil it to soften it, and disinfect it at the same time. Wash the glutinous rice, soak it for a certain time, and take it out. Some people mix some red beans. There are pork, shrimp and so on in zongzi. , wrapped in leaves with thorns and placed in the center of zongzi. When wrapping zongzi, first bend the reed leaves into a boat shape and put glutinous rice, stuffing and so on. Fold it in half, tie it up and cook it in water. The boiled zongzi is soft and tough, with the unique fragrance of leaves and leaves, which is especially delicious.
