The Legend of Calabash Bay (two Short Stories)
General Fiction葫芦湾传奇(短篇两则)
Tian Dongzhao
The village of Huluwan is not big. At its peak, it only had more than 300 households and a population of more than 1,000. It is located on a gentle slope at the foot of Hulu Ridge in the bay of the Yellow River, backed by mountains and facing the Yellow River. There are hills on the left like a crouching tiger and a ridge on the right like a green dragon. It has always been praised by Feng Shui gentlemen. The people of Hulu Bay are of course more proud: "You said the Feng Shui of our village is good? Well, do you need to say that? The Feng Shui treasure land selected by the Hulu Taoist, can the Feng Shui be bad?" The Hulu Taoist is based on a legend passed down from generation to generation. It is said that in ancient times, Hulu Bay was a barren mountain and grassy slope. One day, a wandering Taoist came with a gourd on a wooden stick. He was known as the Hulu Taoist. The gourd Taoist stood down and looked around, then started to build a hut, hung the gourd at the door, and settled down.
