As we all know, the dragon lantern is a very beautiful lantern for performance. How did the dragon lantern come from? There is a beautiful legend here. The following is a brief introduction to the relevant content in detail.
It is said that a long time ago, there was a Lotus Village on the Bank of Tiaoxi. In front of the village, there was a lotus pond full of lotus. Every summer, the water surface is covered with green lotus leaves, and countless water lotus flowers are curling and bright.
By the lotus pond, there lived a hard-working and kind-hearted young couple. The man was called the shutter and the woman was called the lotus. The husband and wife worked for each other and loved each other. This year, lotus became pregnant. After ten months, the child was not born. After another year, he was still not born. It was not until 999 days that he gave birth to a boy. Seeing that the child is healthy and healthy, I like it in my heart. On a closer look, he was stunned: the child’s chest and back were covered with thin dragon scales, glittering with gold. Count, there are 999 pieces. When the midwife nearby saw it, she was shocked and shouted, “Oh, no, you have a dragon god in your family!”
The news spread all over the village, and everyone came to congratulate. The news alerted the old clan leader in the village. His son was an official in the imperial court, and he left a tyrannical ugly grandson beside him. As soon as the grandparents and grandchildren heard about the birth of dragon seeds in the louver family, they immediately came to kill them with steel knives. When the villagers got the news, they immediately reported it to the blinds. After careful discussion, they came up with a solution: put the child in a footbasin and quietly hide him in the lotus pond in front of the door.
The old patriarch and his grandson rushed into the door. The child had disappeared. When the patriarch saw that he could not find the Dragon seed, he grabbed the shutter and forced him to hand it over. Seeing that the lotus was beautiful, grandson had a plan. He raised a steel knife and killed the shutter, robbing the lotus into his house. The old clan leader thought to himself: the Dragon species will starve to death even if they live without their parents. Besides, the lotus will give birth to the dragon. In the future, the dragon will be born in my own home. This world is my home.
Lotus was snatched to the old patriarch’s house. She missed her husband and children and was very sad. The old patriarch forced her to wash rice. The lotus dragged the basket to the side of the pool and gently stirred the water. Suddenly, a cool wind blew. Deep in the lotus pond, the flowers and leaves fell to both sides to make way for a waterway. I saw my son sitting in the footbasin and floating towards her. Lotus was surprised and delighted. She quickly took her son to her arms, fed him with milk, and put him back in the footbasin. In a cool wind, the footbasin drifted back to the lotus. Lotus was very happy to know that her son had not starved to death.
Since then, she has washed rice in the pond three times a day and fed milk to her son three times. After 999 days of feeding, the son grew up and was covered with dragon scales. At night, the lotus pond shines with light. The people in the village were secretly happy to know that the Dragon seed had not been destroyed. When the old clan leader learned that the Dragon seed was in the lotus pond, he was poisoned again.
One evening, when the lotus came to the pond to wash rice, the grandparents and grandchildren hid in the poplar bushes to observe the movement. They saw the blue waves rippling, the flowers and leaves floating, and a cool wind blowing. A footbasin slowly floated from the deep of the lotus pond. In the basin, a child full of gold was sitting, happily throwing his hands at the lotus. The lotus was full of joy and was about to stretch out her hand to hold it. A man flashed out of the poplar bushes, raised his bright steel knife and cut straight at the child. In an instant, the child jumped up from the footwell, turned into a golden dragon, and jumped into the pool. But it was too late. The knife cut Bruce Lee’s tail. A beautiful big butterfly stopped among the lotus flowers, suddenly flew over, connected to the tail of Bruce Lee with its body, and turned into the tail of Bruce Lee with a pair of beautiful wings.
Bruce Lee let out a long song. Suddenly, the wind was blowing hard, the dark clouds rolled, and the petals of the lotus flowers all over the pool were flying. In the midst of the thunderbolt and lightning, Bruce Lee’s body grew larger and became a giant dragon tens of feet long, leaping and tumbling over the lotus pond. At this time, a tornado rolled over. Bruce Lee rose into the air, rode the wind straight up and flew into the clouds. The tornado was so bad that the man who cut off the dragon’s tail was swept into the air and left without a trace. When the patriarch saw that his grandson was swept away by the wind, he fell into the lotus pond and drowned.
Lotus saw her son fly into the sky as a dragon, and shouted loudly, but the Dragon had already flown without a trace.
Since then, whenever there was drought on both sides of Tiaoxi, Bruce Lee came to scatter clouds and sow rain.
In order to thank it, the local people picked 7749 lotus flowers from the pool and used 999 leaf petals to make a dragon. Because there are less than onethousand leaves, it is named the louver dragon.
