Haiyang, Shandong: The legend of the tomb of "King Kang"

A long time ago, on the ground of Haiyang, there was a member with the surname Kang Mingwang, and the townspeople humorously called him "King Kang". The old member Waimei thought: King Kang is an emperor of a dynasty, auspicious! lucky! Since then, he has been renamed "King Kang". The Kang family has good fields and dry land, three four-in-one houses, one pawnshop and one money house, which is really full of grain and full of gold and silver. It is the richest family in the area.

Kang Yuanwai gave birth to seven daughters in a row, and he had a son at the age of sixty, and took the name Ruyi. Husband and wife love is like a pearl in the palm of their hands, accustomed to pain, hate can not add mouth to hold. Habits are like killing children. Ruyi has developed a bad temper of doing whatever she likes and saying one thing and saying one thing at a time; when she grows up, she has become a "strong iron head". Daddy told him to go east, he went west; Mom told him to beat the dog, he beat the chicken. Although Ruyi was not satisfactory, because he was the son of the old man, the old man and the old man were under him for everything.

One year, the "King of Kang" invited the famous Mr. Feng Shui to step on a good piece of land in a large ditch shaped like a pocket under the root of the mountain, where he was buried, and his descendants could produce a heavenly son. Kang Yuanwai was overjoyed: Sure enough, he responded to the good omen of King Kang!" King Kang "made a mistake before he died. I thought to myself, if my son is buried at the bottom of the mountain, he must be buried at the top of the mountain; if he is buried at the top of the mountain, perhaps he can be buried at the bottom of the mountain. He left a will by ruyi's habit: "Bury me on the top of the stack," and swallowed his breath. On the day of the opening of the cave to repair the grave, Ruyi thought: I have never listened to my father's words, and today my father is dead, I have to listen to his instructions. So he buried the "King Kang" on the top of the battlements. Where does Ruyi know that the chaff is packed in a pocket and cannot be broken, but placed on the top of the mountain, blown by the wind, clean, floating everywhere, doomed to the destruction of the family.

After the death of "King Kang", Ruyi made a group of fox friends, ate, drank, gambled, and did everything. In less than two years, the family's wealth was tossed to the limit. Ruyi's hand could not carry the basket, the shoulder could not bear, and as a result, he starved to death in the wilderness and fed the wild wolves. To this day, the locals scold the disobedient children and say, "You are really a descendant of King Kang!" (Haiyang County Chronicle)
