竹取公主和一群小兔子的故事: . 月亮上…

竹取公主和一群小兔子的故事:
.
月亮上,除了嫦娥、吳剛,還住著一群身負重任的小兔子們!
.
月亮,廣寒宮中庭,桂花樹旁。
「起來阿!起來阿!明天是什麼日子你們不知道嗎?」戴著冠帽的兔子正恨鐵不成鋼的催促著他的隊員們。
圍著桂樹東倒西歪的小兔子們,聽到隊長這樣說都不禁有點心虛。
.
隊長說:「一個禮拜後,就是長居在凡間的『竹取公主』,一年一度,回天上的日子,屆時,你們都必須化成仙童仙女去接竹取公主,和天上的家人團聚……」
.
照理來說,兔子們現在應該都忙著練習抬轎,連吳剛都不好意思來桂花樹旁打擾他們。但是,現在有個小小的問題……
.
鼓著嘴巴的兔子一號:「今年柚子太好吃了!」
肥了一圈的兔子二號:「今年嫦娥姊姊訂太多月餅了。」
把臉摀起的兔子三號:「……酒不是我喝完的。」
兔子隊員們一個個最近因為貪吃、變胖、代謝變差,體力也變差了!幾乎是做完一次訓練就全累倒在樹旁,隊長生氣,根本合情合理。
.
「一年也就忙這一次啊!今年甚至連搗藥的工作都給了吳剛,你們真是太不爭氣了!」隊長心急如焚的叨唸著。
.
頭低得不能再低,小兔子們真心覺得對不起自己的工作。
「都是我們的錯……我……我們願意繼續練習!」雖然還是氣喘吁吁,但兔子們紛紛懺悔,表現出願意勤奮練習的可憐模樣。
.
「你們這些都是要氣誰啊!」隊長看到大夥兒真心認錯,也無法再罵下去了。現在想想補救辦法比較重要:「我手上有一套功法_《八卦內功》,剛好可以給你們對著桂樹練習,借助樹滿滿的能量,搶救你們的體力和健康。」
.
「是,隊長!」小兔子們異口同聲地回答。
於是,小兔子們每回練習前都會先走完1小時的《八卦內功》,再開始抬轎訓練!
.
中秋節當日。
竹取公主疑惑道:「從天上傳來你們無法負荷訓練的消息時,我還以為要自己去借人馬來帶我回天宮,結果我看你們好像只是胖了點,抬轎時臉不紅氣不喘的,怎麼回事呀?」
.
眾兔子傻笑。從知道「八卦內功」後,兔子們每天都會先練一個小時八卦,再接著日常訓練,體力竟然比變胖前還好,甚至體重都慢慢下降了,這也算是因禍得福吧?
.
兔子隊長裝傻:「誤會、誤會,沒有這回事,我們只是精壯一些,不是胖!」

The story of Princess Zhu-Qu and the rabbits:

On the moon, besides the legendary Chang-Er and Wu-Gang, there lived a herd of rabbits entrusted with significant tasks!

At the courtyard of the Guang-Han Palace on the moon, which is near the famous osmanthus tree, the chief rabbit with the dress hat was heard hastening his team-mates in disappointment, ” Wake up! wake up! Don’t you know what day it is tomorrow? ” The rabbits, who were sleeping in a haphazard manner around the osmanthus tree, felt guilty on hearing their leader’s reminder.

The chief rabbit continued, “On the day exactly a week from now, Princess Zhu-Qu, who has been leaving in the mundane world, will return to heaven. This takes place once a year. On this day, you have to transform yourselves into fairies to welcome and receive the princess who will be reunited with her family in the heaven… ”

All the rabbits should now be very busy practicing carrying the sedan chair. Even Wu-Gang deliberately stayed away from the osmanthus tree in order not to disturb these rabbits. However, there appeared to be a hiccup this time…

With a mouthful of food, Rabbit One exclaimed, “The pomelo this year is really delicious!” Rabbit Two, who had put on some weight, said, “This year, Sister Chang-Er had ordered too many mooncakes.” Rabbit Three, who covered his face, declared, “.. I was not the one who emptied the bottle of wine.”

All the rabbits had indulged in food, put on weight and suffered from indigestion and become physically weak! So, after just one round of training, all the rabbits were exhausted and laid around the osmanthus tree. The leader was furious.

“Come on, we only do this once a year! This time we even assigned the task of preparing medicine to Brother Wu-Gang. You guys are disappointing! ” The chief rabbit grumbled aloud in great anxiety.

Lowering their heads as much as they could, the rabbits genuinely felt apologetic for their poor work performance. “It is all our fault.. we are willing to continue the training!” So even though all of them were still breathing heavily, the rabbits repented pathetically and expressed willingness to carry on with the training diligently.

“Who are you trying to upset! ” the chief rabbit stopped his scolding with the sincere repentance of the rabbits. The priority for him then was to find a solution. He said, “It just happens that I have an Energy Bagua practice manual, and it is convenient for you to practice around the osmanthus tree and leverage the abundant energy of the tree. I hope you can quickly re-build your energy and health. ”

“Yes, sir!” The rabbits replied simultaneously. Henceforth, the rabbits would complete an hour long Energy Bagua practice before their training on sedan chair carrying!

On the Mid- Autumn day, Princess Zhu-Qu was somewhat puzzled, “I received messages from the heaven that all of you could not withstand the tough training so I thought I might have to arrange my own transportation to return to heaven. But it seems that you guys have merely put on some weight. You don’t seem to feel tired or out of breath while carrying the sedan chair. What happened? ”

The rabbits giggled. Ever since they learnt the Energy Bagua, the rabbits would always practice Energy Bagua for an hour before their regular daily training on carrying the sedan chair. They became stronger and even started to lose weight gradually. Was this hiccup actually a blessing in disguise?

The chief rabbit acted as if nothing had happened, said, “it was a misunderstanding and what you heard was not true. We are just getting more muscular and stronger, not fatter! ”

「烙團圓餅」的習俗 中秋佳節又快到了!「…

「烙團圓餅」的習俗

中秋佳節又快到了!「花好月圓人團圓」這是亙古不變的夙願。
有一位網友給我分享了他家的中秋趣事,與當地特有的風俗,我也把這有意思的過節方式跟大家分享。希望大家都能在中秋這天與最愛的家人團聚,共享天倫。

—————————————————————————————
【網友分享】
我的家鄉在中國西安,在當地中秋節有烙「團圓餅」的習俗。
在這一天,大哥、嫂子都會帶著5歲的小侄兒從外地趕回來。那天,爸爸和媽媽會用糖、芝麻、桂花和蘋果、麵粉等來做大月餅時,小侄兒非要來壓花,他把他的玩具兔子壓在上面、用一個小圓盒壓成月亮、還用牙籤雕刻了一顆桂花樹。烙好後,看著大月餅出爐,他高興得直跳!
.
到了晚上,明月升起,爸媽搬了張桌子放在院子裡,把烙好的團圓餅放在桌子上,將月餅、石榴、棗子等瓜果供於桌案上拜月,媽媽說:先給月亮吃。小侄兒說:既然月亮會吃,那我試試砸一下看她會疼嗎?說著就用一個小月餅拋向空中,月亮不但沒有反應,他的月餅差點砸中旁邊的小狗。爸爸一看笑著說:「月亮離我們十萬八千里呢。」把我也笑得差點暈過去。
.
拜完月之後,全家人圍桌而坐,由爸爸將餅按人數分切成塊,每人一塊,那年二哥遠在東北讀大學沒趕回來,父親也為他留下一份,表示闔家團圓。現代生活多元化了,二哥雖然沒回來,但我們還用手機和他視頻,千里之外化為零距離。
.
一家人邊吃邊談,帶著思念,共賞明月……。

你的中秋將如何過呢也歡迎在這兒與大家共同分享吧!!

#中秋節、#烙團圓餅、#拜月、#分月餅rnrn”Bake Reunion Cake” custom

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching! The festival may have originated in China, yet it is also a traditional local festival in parts of East Asia such as Japan, Vietnam and Korea. The different regional cultures in these places mean that customary practices vary as well. A netizen shared an interesting story about his family’s mid-autumn festival activities and unique customs and I would like to share the appreciation for this meaningful occasion with all of you too. I wish that everyone can reunite with relatives and close friends on the Mid-Autumn Festival day to enjoy familial bliss.
———————————————————————
“The flowers are always blooming, the moon always round and bright and our loved ones always together” – these are the eternally cherished wishes of everyone. My family is most lively during the Mid-Autumn Festival, with my elder siblings, sister-in-law and 5-year-old nephew visiting in earnest from abroad. In Xi’an, China where my hometown is, there is a local custom to “bake reunion cake” during the Festival. On that day, my father and mother will use sugar, sesame, sweet-scented osmanthus and apple with flour to bake a big moon cake. My small nephew will always be involved during the process, imprinting his toy rabbit on the cakes, molding the ingredients in small round boxes into the moon-shape, and carving osmanthus trees with toothpicks. Seeing his creations turn out well from the oven into big mooncakes, he will jump for joy!

In the evening, as the moon gently rises into view, our parents will shift a table into the courtyard and serve our freshly-baked reunion cake, including moon cakes, pomegranates, dates and other fruits on the table as offerings to the venerable moon. My mother explained one year, “.. offer these first to the moon”. My little nephew then asked, “Since the moon will eat, then I will try to hit it to see if she will be hurt?” He then hurled a small moon cake into the air in the moon’s direction. The moon was not only unresponsive but the cake almost hit a puppy that was nearby. Father smiled and said, “The moon is more than 108,000 miles away from us.” I almost fainted with laughter at the hilarious moment.

After making the offering to the moon, the whole family will sit by the table, with father serving the cake. Dividing it by the number of family members. That year, my second brother was in university in the north-east and could not make it back home. Father left him a slice too, symbolic of the family reunion. In this versatile modern age, when second brother was not present, we connected with him on video using the mobile phone, bridging the thousands of miles as if he was physically here with us.

The family reunites, in the bliss of warm ties and comfort food, with kind thoughts and remembrance, in appreciation of the brilliant moon …

中秋外傳—嫦娥也來走八卦?? . ….

中秋外傳—嫦娥也來走八卦??
.
.
有一個上初中的小弟子,給我講了一個他自編的中秋故事—嫦娥八卦傳,實在太有趣了。臨近中秋佳節前,也分享給大家聽。
.
———————————————————————————————
這一天,嫦娥從廣寒宮裡走出來,到外面散步,看到吳剛正坐在桂花樹下喝桂花酒,一邊喝酒,一邊唉聲嘆氣。
嫦娥問他:「你為什麼在這裡借酒消愁?」
.
吳剛苦著臉說:「哎,我來月宮裏已經好幾千年啦,雖然做了神仙可以長生不死,但是因為廣寒宮中太過濕冷,手腳是越來越不聽使喚,我因此愁苦身體健康問題呀。」
.
嫦娥聽完說道:「我是個姑娘家,待在月宮中的時間也不比你短,我依舊可以精神飽滿,身體輕盈,完全不受廣寒宮中濕冷之氣所影響,天天開心地飛來飛去呢?」
.
吳剛一臉困惑的問:「仙女姊姊,您是怎樣做到的呀,也快告訴我祕訣吧!」
.
嫦娥:「那沒問題,只要你跟我一樣堅持住,每天繞著桂樹走「八卦」,相信你也可以跟我一樣健健康康的。」
.
吳剛一臉驚訝地:「原來如此,那麼嫦娥姊姊,妳是不是也跟桂樹一樣能量強大呀?」
.
嫦娥甩了甩飄逸的長袖,呼呼生風,說:
「當然啦!因為我長期在廣寒宮裡居住,這兒潮濕又寒冷,我因此得了風濕病,四肢酸痛,畏寒怕冷,手腳冰涼。還有,我離開丈夫這麼多年,非常想念后羿,悶悶不樂,抑鬱成疾,落下了我一身的病痛。
「玉兔」非常擔憂我的身子,每天都為我搗藥,炮製風濕丸、補氣丸、開心丸,我吃了許多年,但收效甚微。
.
後來,我學習了菩提的「八卦內功」,只要每天早上堅持走一個小時,不用多久,現在我所有的疾病都好了,渾身都有使不完的勁兒,而且心情也變好了,每天健康開心的,玉兔再也不用辛苦搗藥,可以天天陪我玩,我現在過得可開心了。」
.
吳剛聽得此言,一拍大腿,「八卦甚好!我也要學,嫦娥姊姊,快教教我吧!」
.
.
備註:「樹吸收了天地間的能量、宇宙之精華,所以擁有了強大的能量,你天天繞著他走,與樹溝通能量,相信你也可以一樣健健康康的。」

Mid-autumn Legend—Chang’e (the lady in the moon-Chinese mythology) came to practice Energy Bagua??
.
A young junior high school disciple narrated his self-composed version of a Mid-Autumn story to me— The legend of Chang’e (Goddess of the Moon) and Energy Bagua. It is hilarious. As Mid-Autumn festival is near, let me share his story with you too.

————————————————————–
As the story goes, Chang’e left her Moon palace for a stroll outside. She sighted Wu Gang sitting under the Osmanthus tree sipping Osmanthus wine, sighing while drinking.
Chang’e asked, “Why are you drowning your sorrows here?”
Wu Gang responded bitterly, “.. (sigh).. I have been living on the moon for thousands of years. Although being an immortal allows me to live forever, it is too cold here and now my limps are not as responsive as they used to be. Hence, I am more and more worried about my health as time passes.”
.
After listening to Wu Gang, Chang’e shared: “Although being a lady and having to stay on the Moon palace for a time not shorter than you, I am still full of vitality and my body feels light and graceful, completely not affected by the coldness and dampness on the Moon palace living each day and happily flying around”.
.
Wu Gang looked confused and asked, ”Fairy sister, how did you do it? Can you share with me your secret?”
.
Chang’e, “Sure, as long as you persevere on like me and practice Energy Bagua round the Osmanthus tree daily, I believe you can also be as healthy as me.”
Wu Gang looked surprised, “So that is the secret. Elder sister Chang’e, are you full of energy like the Osmanthus tree then?”
.
Chang’e swung her long elegant sleeves, and with a voice as strong as the wind, answered, “That’s of course!” I’d lived in the Moon palace for a long time. It is damp and cold, causing rheumatism, sore and aching limbs, bodily chills and fear of the cold, especially at my hands and feet. Also, I’d left my husband for so many years. I miss Hou Yi dearly, and this made me unhappy and depressed. I had lapsed into illness, and it left me full of ailments. The Jade Rabbit was worried for my health and prepared medicine for me daily, such as rheumatism pills, vitality pills, and mood pills. I was on all these medication for many years, but with little result. Later, I learned about Bodhi Meditation Energy Bagua. Every morning, I would practice for an hour, and am now free from all the diseases. I feel most energetic and with much vigor and even my mood has improved. The Jade Rabbit need not exhaust itself to prepare all the medicine now. It can play with me all day long and I am so happy now.”
.
Upon hearing these remarks, Wu Gang gave his thigh a pat and exclaimed, “Energy Bagua is excellent! I want to learn too. Elder Sister Chang, please teach me quickly!”
.
Note: “The tree absorbs the energy from heaven and earth, the essence of the universe, so it has strong energy. As you walk around the tree daily, communicating with its energy, I believe you can also be as healthy.”
