Myrica rubra is one of the earliest fruits in the history of China, which grew in the Neolithic Age. Later, in the Han Dynasty, it became a tribute. Myrica rubra is a beautiful and long-lived tree. Although this tree is not very tall, its crown is strong. Seen from a distance, slim; Take a closer look, the graceful umbrella cover holds up the thick shade, which is the best place for people to enjoy the cool and rest in summer. There are many legends about Yangmei, among which the legend of "My Fruit" is the most beautiful. This story says that in ancient times, Yang Liang's son Yang Xiu was very clever. At the age of nine, his father's friend Kong Jun visited. It happened that his father was out. Yang Xiu took out several plates of fruit to entertain the guests, including a plate of bayberry. Kong pointed and said, "This is really the fruit of your Yang family!" . Yang Wanli, a famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, described Yangmei as "the fruit of my family", which is from this allusion. It is said that bayberry blossoms are very special. Midnight in bloom, dawn is fading, which is hard to see. There is a legend that two sisters-in-law embroidered Yangmeihua and went up the mountain late at night to wait for Yangmeikai. Later, they met a tiger and separated. My sister-in-law visited her aunt, trudged to Qianshan, and finally became a bird under the bayberry tree ... but they didn't see bayberry after all. As we all know, flowers are in full bloom in the wind, competing for beauty and showing their charm to the fullest. Yang Meihua, on the other hand, is reserved, too beautiful to talk, afraid of being known, amazing and embarrassed. Even though there are thousands of kinds of elegance, it only blooms in the middle of the night. Especially precious and rare.

Yang Miao is old, his wife died early, and he has nine sons and one daughter. Nine sons have married daughters-in-law and have 23 grandchildren; Only the youngest daughter, Yangmei, is getting married.

Yang Miao is snobbish and despicable, colluding with the government and exploiting villagers. He has endless birthdays and blessings all year round, forcing the villagers to give gifts, making people in this area sell their children and girls, losing all their money. Everyone hates it, but if you plant his fields and rent his houses, you have to lower yourself if you don't lower your head.

What about Yang Miao's nine sons and nine daughters-in-law? It's like a mold. It's fake. Usually bully neighbors and do evil; They all stared at the monk's property like black-eyed chickens, wishing to swallow it alone. Only the youngest daughter, Yangmei, is like a phoenix among crows and gold in the sand. She is clever and kind. He is also helpful, often secretly helping poor villagers.

One day, a rich man from other places came to visit Yang Miao. For Saifu, Yang Miao paved the way with golden rice to welcome guests. Some people say that he "treads on the golden road". He washes his face with old wine and takes a bath with milk. Seeing that Yang Miaozhen was rich, the rich man took out a luminous pearl the size of a goose egg from his pocket when he was drinking at the wedding banquet, and said that he would marry Yangmei. At the sight of this priceless treasure, Yang Miao's eyes turned red. She hurried over and even said, "Climb higher! Climb high! " I readily agreed.

On the day of engagement, Yang Miao hung lanterns at home, set hundreds of tables and traveled hundreds of miles in Fiona Fang. Four relatives and eight relatives all went to the banquet to congratulate. When the wine was half drunk, Yang Miao asked Yang Mei when she was with her son and daughter-in-law: "Mei Er, today my father is at home, my brother and sister-in-law are in the hall, and my relatives and friends are in front. Whatever dowry you want, just ask, because my father has no reason not to allow it. "

Yangmei, who usually helps villagers, is often more willing than able because of lack of silver. Now, after listening to my father, I was about to speak. I suddenly saw all my brothers and sisters showing off their horns and staring at her with wide eyes. I suddenly shuddered. I think I'm just a daughter who hasn't been to the door. They should work together, not sing alone. How can I fight them? She thought for a moment and boldly said to the rich man, "I will decide what dowry I want in the future."

The rich man thought, you are even our family, and this property has flown elsewhere? He promised again and again: "Of course! Of course! "

So Yangmei said to her father, "Thank you for loving my daughter." But my daughter doesn't want Jinshan Yinshan or Pearl Treasure. She only needs one grain, grows it in the field for nine years, and then gives her rice fields as a dowry.

The people in the room listened to Yangmei's words, just like sprinkling a handful of salt in the oil pan. Everyone is blindsided and chattering. The rich man is more like a deflated ball, shaking his head in disappointment. Yang Miao laughed when he saw this. "Silly girl, what is this dowry? Aren't you afraid that my relatives and friends here will say that I bully my daughter? " Ask again, ask again, or the queen mother will be too late. "

Jiufang's son and daughter-in-law were overjoyed at first, but when they heard Yang Miao's words, they all said, "No! No way! The amount of dowry depends entirely on my sister's words. This is called a promise, a promise, it's a joke. She wants Jinshan Yinshan, the moon in the sky and the dragon liver in the sea, but she can't change it. " It is unlucky to ask for a dowry and her husband remarries. It's too late to regret it. "

Yangmei was angry and funny when she saw her brothers and sisters in distress. She smiled and said to her father, "As long as her father and his brothers and sisters don't repent, her daughter won't regret it."

All the brothers and sisters said in unison, "Never repent, never repent! Whoever repents is a pig and a dog! Sister, don't believe you can prove it. Just, sister, dare to establish evidence? "

"Stand on the evidence!" Yang Mei replied.

So, on the spot with Four Treasures of the Study, made the credentials. All the relatives and friends present here have signed their credentials. Everyone is suspicious, drunk and dreaming, and wait until nine years later.

Since Yangmei begged for a dowry, the weather has been good every year. In the first year, plant one grain, send three seedlings and smoke three ears of rice to get one hundred and fifty millet. In the second year, One Happy and Fifty millet seeds were planted and 22,500 millet seeds were harvested. In this way, year after year, one hundred times, one hundred times, one trillion times, the bigger the number, the more millet is planted. Nine years later, 25,000 mu of land will be enough for rice fields. At this time, Yang Miao and his son had a daughter-in-law to wake up from a dream. Want to rely on, the original appointment, are well-known, all signed, credentials in Yang Mei's hand. What should I do? Yang Miao quietly phoned Q9' s daughter-in-law, discussed it for three days and three nights, and finally gritted his teeth and cut off 80,000 mu of hillside around the "plate" as a dowry for Yangmei. Yangmei did not dispute, so she sent someone to divide this 80,000-mu field into countless small pieces.

On the day of Yangmei's wedding, it was sunny and cloudless in Wan Li. Four relatives and eight relatives heard that Yangmei was going to leave his hometown, and thousands of people came to see him off. Every village was empty. Yangmei, wearing an embroidered wedding dress and embroidered shoes, said to the neighbors who came to see me off before getting on the sedan chair: "The 80,000-mu hillside as a dowry was a small gift to all the villagers when I left my hometown, all of which were divided into small pieces, one for each family. May you all live a good life on your own. "

Hearing this, everyone cheered and said in unison, "Thank you for your kindness! Thank you for your kindness! "

The sedan chair carried Yangmei away gradually, and everyone went up the mountain happily to see the Tian Ban that Yangmei gave them. Yang Miao scolded her daughter for eating inside and picking outside, and she was so angry that she sat on the hillside panting. Jiufang's son and daughter-in-law stood at their door and shouted angrily, "These fields are all mine! It's all my house ... "

Shouting, suddenly, it was cloudy, the wind was blowing hard, and suddenly it rained cats and dogs. Just then, there was a sudden "rumble", which sounded like the sky was falling and the ground was shaking. Fiona Fang Shili Yang Miao is reluctant to give her daughter a dowry, and her house and all her belongings have fallen to the ground! Into a Wang Yang!

Legend has it that this fallen place has become the present Dongqian Lake.

Yang Miao's family, except Yang Miao, sulked on the hillside and only saved one life.

The 80,000 mu hillside that Yangmei gave to her neighbors, together with all the people on the hillside, is safe and sound.

Yang Miao's gold, silver and tongboshan all fell into the lake and became large and small lake mussels, which the locals called "Qian mussels". The lake is also called "Thousand Lakes" or "Ten Thousand Lakes". In order to thank Yangmei for her kindness to this field, the locals called this lake in Wulitang, which used to be a paddy field, "Humei Lake".

Later, every day in Tomb-Sweeping Day, white-haired Yang Miao would go to his wife's grave alone. Therefore, for thousands of years, Ningbo has such a well-known folk proverb:

Grain has been planted for nine years, and Humei Lake has been used as a paddy field.
