The story has it that a guy in the Han  Dynasty named Dong Yong was so dutiful that the seventh fairy in Heaven  was touched and descended to the human world to help him pay off his  debt by weaving. The story is much favored by the general public and has  been selected on the List of Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritages.<\/div>\n<div>The legend of Dong Yong first appeared in Biography of Dutiful Sons  written by Liu Xiang, a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.  Record of the legend provided in Soushenji (Deities Searching Record)  written by Gan Bao, a scholar in the Jin Dynasty has been widespread in  the rural areas in China by virtue of its prominent theme (Filial piety)  and integral plot, thus serving as an original edition of story  evolution and literary transplantation, which has exerted profound  influence on later generations. This story embodies the cultural  tradition of filial piety in China; meanwhile, it co<em><\/em>ntains some romantic  tinge, which caters to the general public&#8217;s desire for happy marriage.  Moreover, with its artistic features reflecting on the skillful  combination of fantastic imagination with human reality, the story has  been acting as a common theme for pop literature (e.g. talking and  singing, traditio<em><\/em>nal drama) and the subject matter of the movie and  television, of which the movie-edition Huangmei Opera The Heavenly Match  is extensively influential.<\/div>\n<div>The legend of Dong Yong has been, during a long spreading time of  over 2000 years, co<em><\/em>ntinuously combined with people&#8217;s life in various  regions and has evolved to be legends of distinctive regio<em><\/em>nal features.  Accordingly, customs in this regard have been formed and relics have  come into existence, such as cultural relics, steles, villages and  topo<em><\/em>nym which are related to Dong Yong&#8217;s life experience. For instance,  there is Do<em><\/em>ngjia Village and Dong Yong grave in Boxing County, Shandong  Province, a stele written with &quot;Dong Yong&#8217;s Native Place&quot; and  &quot;Co<em><\/em>nsensual marriage cloth&quot; in Xiaohuai Village in Wanrong County,  Shanxi Province, and ceremo<em><\/em>nious worship of the dutiful son in temple  fairs held on the third day of the second lunar mo<em><\/em>nth and the tenth day  of the eleventh lunar mo<em><\/em>nth annually in Wuzhi County, Henan Province.  Historical and literary material co<em><\/em>ntained in the legend of Dong Yong is  valuable to the research on the society, economy, politics and culture,  in particular on the literature and art of every dynasty of China.<\/div>\n<p>  <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-2235696806\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The legend of Dong Yong and the seventh fairy is a story wildly known in China.
