【穀雨】花仙子傳奇
.
4月20日是春天的最後一個節氣「榖雨」。
穀雨代表著寒冷的天氣即將要結束、夏天就要到了。這個時節雨水漸漸增多，大地雨水豐沛，有利於各種作物的生長，是一年當中，農作最重要的春雨期。
.
「穀雨」還有個非常感人的傳說！
.
民諺：「穀雨過三天，園裡看牡丹！」
.
傳說，在唐代高宗年間，有位叫穀雨的年輕人，水性很好，有一次他的家鄉突然發大水，他憑著這個本領救出了所有的村民，當時還冒著生命危險救出了一株牡丹花，並拜託一位花匠師傅好好地栽養著。
.
幾年後，穀雨的母親生了重病，穀雨一邊要照料母親，一邊忙著掙錢給母親養病，非常辛苦。這時有位美麗的女子，突然出現在他的家裡，並且每天都來幫忙照顧他的母親，穀雨與這位女子日久生情，就在穀雨想與這位姑娘提親的時候，才發現美麗的姑娘原來是位牡丹仙子，而且是幾年前那一場水災，他救出來的那株牡丹花。
.
牡丹仙女和穀雨相約：「待到明年四月八，奴到谷門去安家。」
.
但是，四月八的約定時間到了，卻沒見到牡丹姑娘。穀雨到處找尋，才發現牡丹花仙的仇人「禿鷹」，逼迫牡丹花仙們為其釀酒。花仙們不願取自己身上的血，釀酒供惡賊，被禿鷹抓走了。穀雨為了搭救牡丹姑娘與眾花仙們，闖入魔洞大戰禿鷹，終於戰勝了禿鷹。但是「穀雨」雖然成功救出了眾花仙，卻也同時命喪此戰役中。
.
從此，在穀雨死的那一天，天空就會下起雨水，所有的牡丹花盛開綻放，以此來紀念穀雨。
.
所以在穀雨這個時節，除了牡丹花會盛開綻放，同時百花盛開，共同歌頌穀雨這個感人的故事。

【Guyu, the 6th solar term】The Legend of Floral Fairy
Guyu, the last solar term in spring falls on April 20th this year. It represents the end of cold weather and the coming of summer. At this time, the rain gradually increases and this abundant rainfall is conducive to the growth of various crops. Hence, Guyu is also the most important time of the year for farming.
There is a touching legend to this solar term!
The saying has it “You can see the peony flowers after three days of Guyu.”
The legend is about a young man named Guyu in the Tang Dynasty. Guyu was a good swimmer. Once, when his hometown was flooded, he saved all the villagers with his talent in swimming. Besides the villagers, Guyu risked his life and saved a pretty peony flower. He asked a floriculturist to take good care of the flower.
Years later, Guyu’s mother had a serious illness. The busy son had to take care of his mother and worked hard to pay for the medical expenses. One day, a pretty maiden suddenly appeared in Guyu’s house. She helped take care of his mother every day. As time passes, the relationship between Guyu and this maiden grew. Just when Guyu wanted to propose to her, he found that she was the fairy of the peony flower which he saved years ago in the flood.
The fairy promised Guyu, “I’ll settle down with the Gu’s family on April 8th next year.”
However, when that time arrives, the fairy did not show up. Guyu searched for her everywhere. He realised that the vulture–the natural enemy of the fairies of peony flowers, was forcing the fairies to brew medicine wine for him. The fairies didn’t want to use their own blood to brew wine for the villain, so the vulture took them away. To save his beloved and other fairies, Guyu broke into the cave and fought with the vulture. He successfully saved the fairies but lost his life in this fight.
Since then, on the day of Guyu’s death every year, it rains and all the peonies along with many kinds of flowers bloom in memory of Guyu and his brave story.
