狮子回头风水

由来

流传的比较广的有三种，今天我想说的是小时候听苏州外婆讲的这一故事:

在明朝嘉庆年间，姑苏城外有一只长着翅膀的狮子经常在夜里飞来偷吃百姓的家畜，有时还伤及人命，当时从州官到平民都拿这只怪兽没办法，只好在天黑之时就紧闭门户。时间长了大家觉得这不是办法，有个山塘李姓小伙想出了一个点子，组织了全村的百姓在一个月黑风高之夜登上虎丘，人手一个火把，把整个虎丘照得通亮，一边还敲锣打鼓，把那飞狮怪兽吸引了过来。正当它朝着灯光飞扑下来时，只见李小伙一个手势，大家的火把、锣鼓全部熄了，飞狮怪兽眼前一黑找到不了目标，一时收不住翅膀便一头栽在离虎丘不远的地方，凌晨咽气之前用尽了最后的力气把头扭过去看了下让它丧命的地方--虎丘!

相传上古女娲补天，有一只老虎和一只狮子都看中了姑苏天堂般美丽的景色，经常为争夺土地证相互争斗到天昏地暗。在它们中间有一条河，河里停了一只船，这船上满载了女娲济世人类的药草。有一天老虎与狮子争斗时把这草药船掀翻了。女娲一生气就把它们变成了两座山:一座狮子山，一座虎丘山。狮子不服气，只奈是变成了山而无法争斗了，但狮子还总是时不时地回头望那老虎。。

本二

相传春秋时期，吴国的公子光(阖闾)为了争夺王位，和大臣伍子胥密谋，派著名的杀手专诸刺杀吴王僚。吴王僚喜欢吃鱼，专诸特地拜烹饪高手为师，用了一个月的时间学会了做鱼。他事先将行刺的匕首藏在鱼肠中----这就是著名的鱼肠剑的来历。然后趁献菜之机，拔出利刃，刺死吴王僚，自己也被乱刃所杀，吴王僚死后葬于狮子山上。

虎丘山原名海涌山。当年吴王阖闾率兵攻打越国，不幸在战斗中重伤而死，葬于海涌山。传说三天后有一白色猛虎蹲踞在坟丘之上，故吴王的儿子夫差改海涌山为虎丘山。

因吴王僚是含恨而死，冤魂不散，回头怒视葬于虎丘山的阖闾，便有了狮子回头望虎丘之说。。

秦始皇东巡到虎丘，准备挖阖闾的墓，据说阖闾墓里埋了三千把宝剑(其中就有杀死吴王僚的鱼肠剑，还有著名的干将和莫邪剑)，看到一只白虎蹲在墓边，于是拔剑刺虎，却刺在石头上，石裂成池，即剑池。后来白虎占山为王，危害人间。曾任寒山寺"客座教授"的文殊菩萨坐骑青狮恼恨白虎作恶，趁文殊菩萨闭目养神的时候，偷偷溜出山门，直扑虎丘，将白虎拍死，但因时差问题来不及赶回灵山，触犯佛门戒律，跌落人间化作石山，在那变化之一瞬青狮还回头怒望虎丘。

另一个说法是文殊菩萨知道青狮犯了杀戒，就把它点化成了石山。青狮变成石头还担心白虎会继续为害，就把头回过来看着虎丘的位置盯住白虎，这就是狮子回头望虎丘。。。

版本延伸:相传明朝初年，姑苏是由老虎镇守的，有一天狮子挑战老虎，要把姑苏占为己有，老虎为保住姑苏，请来七只狸猫(力大无比的神兽)帮忙，它们一起合力打跑了狮子，但狮子并没跑远，变成石头山回头看着也变成了山丘的老虎;为了防止狮子再来挑衅，老虎请七只狸猫镇守在山塘街每一里路的桥头，因此"七里山塘"又有"七狸山塘"之说。。

莫将传说当历史，传说总被雨打风吹去，如今站在狮峰转头，高楼林立，已无虎影。倚轻风，静听流云飘逝。。

origin

There are three kinds that are widely circulated. Today I want to talk about this story I heard from my grandmother in Suzhou when I was a child:

During the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a lion with wings outside the city of Gusu that often flew at night to steal the people's livestock, sometimes hurting people's lives. Close the door when it gets dark. After a long time, everyone felt that this was not the way to go. A guy surnamed Li in the mountain pond came up with an idea. He organized the people of the whole village to climb the Tiger Hill on a dark and windy night for a month. It was bright and bright, while beating gongs and drums, attracting the flying lion monster. Just as it flew down towards the light, I saw a gesture from young man Li. Everyone's torches, gongs and drums were all turned off. The flying lion monster couldn't find its target when it was dark in front of its eyes. Before dying in the early morning, he turned his head with all his strength and looked at the place where it died--Huqiu!

Honichi

According to legend, in ancient times, when Nuwa mended the sky, there was a tiger and a lion who both took a fancy to the beautiful scenery of the heaven in Suzhou, and they often fought each other for land certificates until the sky was dark. In the middle of them was a river, and in the river was a boat, which was full of the herbs that Nuwa gave to mankind. One day the tiger overturned the herbal boat while fighting with the lion. Nuwa turned them into two mountains when she got angry: a Lion Mountain and a Tiger Hill. The lion was not convinced, but it turned into a mountain and could no longer fight, but the lion always looked back at the tiger from time to time. .

Honji

According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to compete for the throne, the prince Guang (He Lu) of Wu State conspired with the minister Wu Zixu and sent a famous assassin Zhuozhu to assassinate Wu Wangliao. Wu Wangliao likes to eat fish, and Zhuan Zhu specially learned to cook fish in a month. He hid the stabbing dagger in the fish intestine beforehand - this is the origin of the famous fish intestine sword. Then, taking advantage of the opportunity of offering vegetables, he pulled out a sharp blade and stabbed Wu Wangliao to death.

Tiger Hill was formerly known as Haiyong Mountain. At that time, King Helu of Wu led an army to attack the country of Yue. Unfortunately, he died of serious injuries in the battle and was buried in Haiyong Mountain. Legend has it that three days later, a white tiger squatted on the mound of the tomb, so Fuchai, the son of King Wu, changed Haiyong Mountain into Huqiu Mountain.

Because King Liao of Wu died with hatred, and his grievances lingered, he turned his head and glared at Helu, who was buried in Huqiu Mountain. .

Qin Shihuang visited Huqiu in the east and was about to dig Helu's tomb. It is said that there were 3,000 swords buried in Helu's tomb (including the fish intestine sword that killed Wu Wangliao, as well as the famous general and Mo Xie sword). Only the white tiger squatted by the tomb, so he drew his sword and stabbed the tiger, but it stabbed the stone, and the stone cracked into a pool, that is, the sword pool. Later, the white tiger took over the mountain as the king and endangered the world. Manjushri Bodhisattva, who used to be the "visiting professor" of Hanshan Temple, was angry with the white tiger and hated the white tiger. , violated the Buddhist precepts, fell into the world and turned into a stone mountain, and at the moment of the change, the blue lion turned back to look at Tiger Hill angrily.

Another saying is that Manjushri Bodhisattva knew that the blue lion had committed the precept of killing, so he turned it into a stone mountain. The blue lion turned into a stone and was worried that the white tiger would continue to harm him, so he turned his head to look at the tiger hill and stared at the white tiger. This is the lion looking back at the tiger hill. . .

Version extension: Legend has it that in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou was guarded by tigers. One day, the lion challenged the tiger to take Suzhou as its own. The tiger invited seven civet cats (incomparably powerful mythical beasts) to protect Suzhou. Help, they worked together to beat the lion away, but the lion did not run far, and turned into a stone mountain and turned into a tiger when he looked back. Therefore, "Qili Shantang" is also called "Qili Shantang". .

Don't treat the legend as history, the legend is always blown away by the rain and the wind, and now standing on the Lion Peak and turning around, there are many tall buildings, and there is no tiger shadow. Lean on the breeze and listen to the passing clouds. .
