Japanese folk story Three Years Sleeping Taro

The Three Years Bingtaro (Japanese: Three Years Bingtaro) is a Japanese folk story.

The three years of continuous sleep appeared to be a lazy man who was said to have suddenly risen to do the big thing of irrigation.

There's a lot of deformed stories all over the country.

A long time ago, in a village suffering from drought, a man who had been sleeping for three years was called “Bingtaro”.

He did not do anything, but went to sleep, only to get up a little bit, except to go to the toilet or to eat, but he went back to sleep for a little while, which made the residents very angry.

One day, however, Bitaro suddenly rose up and went to the top of the hill to move the boulder, and then the falling boulder continued in the valley, eventually stopping the flow of the river and bringing water into the fields, saving the village's crops.

It was not only for three years that he slept while he was sleeping, but instead he was considering how to complete the irrigation and rescue the village from the drought.

In the small and narrow area of Yamaguchi County, Yamayang Onoda City, there are stories similar to those mentioned above, but the conclusions of the final irrigation are the same, but they are completely different.

The village chief's son Taro, who had been sleeping for not working, was given the name “Betharo” by a nearby person.

Taro, who had slept for three years and three months, suddenly woke up one day and asked his father to make him a boat of thousands of stones and a boat of grass.

The father gave Taro the wish of his son to make a thousand stone boat and grass, after which he drove out.

After 10 days, Taro came back, and the rags in the boat became broken.

Taro asked his father to prepare a bucket, and after Taro had obtained it from his father, he began to wash the rotten grass and then find alluvial gold from the dirt.

In fact, Taro sailed to Sawashima for free to trade for the grass of people working in Sawa Kuan.

Taro is using the collected money of alluvial gold for the making of saplings and the rehabilitation of irrigation roads for the development of rice fields to be shared by the people of the village.

In fact, it is said that the well-moved swarms, which flow in a narrow area, are the ones that Betharo has gathered funds to prepare for, and is called the “Bethalom”.

As a local hero of the wasteland, he is still to be praised for having set up a copper statue of him in front of the JR Mansion Station and for having held a “Siburo Festival” every year on 29 April.

It's considered to be the original of Qinghing's son.

After the defeat of his father, Hen-shin Takeda, he became the chief of Zhou’s defence, trusted by the Fong Fong Fong of the Cold Spring, before his sister’s marriage, and fled to the Ning Temple, where he began to cultivate crops and was moved by the voice of poor farmers with insufficient water supplies。
