Legends Of Tzuyu A Taiwanese Grandmother Told Me

Taiwanese folklore tells of a mystical creature called a Tzu. Known as a Tzuyu in the common tongue.

I've passed down the legends of the mystical properties of a Tzuyu's hair. But today let's explore more about this mythical creature.

This is what a grandmother told me.

Taiwanese scholars detailed in parchments that a Tzu had incredible jumping abilities and could leap over even the tallest peasant.

A Tzuyu was said to have the hunger of 10 men. Some accounts even say an entire villages rice stockpiles could be eaten whole in 1 night by a particularly hungry Tzu.

It was said that if you had sudden showers and storms clouds or lighting it must mean a nearby Tzuyu was angry and they were stirring up the heavens in a Tzu-fit. Tzuyu's are said to be angels after all.

It is Taiwanese tradition to ask Tzuyu for luck before marriage proposals or engagements. They said if you were lucky enough to see a Tzu before you asked your beloved for their hand in marriage, it would mean they would say yes and the marriage would be long and successful.

Stories say in olden times Tzuyu's were commonly found sleeping in the middle of roads and bridges. They could sleep anywhere in broad daylight. Some accounts say one particularly sleepy Tzuyu slept for 10 years on a small village's bridge. Poke scholars theorize the popular Pokemon Snorlax is based on this particular legend.

A Tzuyu is said to have the ability to see into people's souls. They are very gifted and can even drive you mad if they wanted. But most Tzuyu's are said to be kind so they just play mischievous tricks on some.

The oldest folk stories believed Tzuyus to be angels. But stating in the 1900s more modern interpretation claimed Tzuyu's were actually aliens living amongst us. George Lucas is said to have been inspired to create Yoda after reading Taiwanese folklore and stories of Tzuyu's with their habit of sometimes speaking like a frog.

Well that's all for today. These are just a few of the legends about the Mythical Tzuyu.

More next time!

Tzuyu was not included because her inclusion would put all others to shame

Let's hope Tzuyu ends with no tragedy.
