The origin of the Big Dipper The names corresponding to the seven stars in Nordic mythology are: first-class bright star Dubhe, second-class bright star Merak, third-class bright star Ficuda, fourth-class bright star Megrez, fifth-class bright star Helios and sixth-class bright star Mizar. In ancient Greek myths and legends, there was a beautiful and kind girl whose name was Callisto. Among the fairies around Artemis, the moon god and the goddess of hunting, she is the most touching one. But she never relies on it. She always treats every partner well and makes everyone feel her heartfelt care from time to time. People also like her very much, and everyone lives a carefree and happy time together.

what makes Callisto unique is that her gentle appearance contains a resolute character. Unlike other fairies, she wandered around the stream all day, strolled in the garden, recited poems and danced lightly. She always wears a mighty hunting suit, bows on her shoulders, holds a Jin Mao, and follows Artemis bravely to chase wild animals in the mountains and forests. The tiger's roar, which made all animals tremble, did not frighten her, and the cunning fox could not escape her vigorous skill. She became Artemis' most effective and trusted assistant.

On a hot summer day, Callisto chased wild animals to a glade. Hot and tired, she lay down in the shade and soon fell into a deep sleep.

All this was seen by the almighty Zeus. In ancient Greek mythology, Zeus was the biggest god in the sky and the father of the gods. He is supreme and admired by all things, but he often does shady things. It is common for him to secretly seduce the goddess of heaven and the beauty of the earth.

Zeus was stunned when he saw the beautiful Callisto lying on the green grass. Naturally, he would not let go of such an opportunity. He flew down from the clouds and transformed himself into the image of Artemis. He approached Callisto gently and held her in his arms. Callisto woke up from a dream and was indescribable happy to see Artemis in this lonely place. Just about to stand up and continue hunting with Artemis, Zeus suddenly showed his true colors. Poor Callisto was unprepared. She fought hard, but to no avail. After all, Zeus is omnipotent. Although Callisto has the ability to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, she still can't escape from Zeus' clutches.

Zeus proudly returned to the Heavenly Palace. As the master of the universe, he naturally won't be punished or rewarded. Unfortunately, it can only be innocent Callisto! She wiped away her tears and silently returned to everyone. I can't say how much pain I have inside, but I have to smile in front of everyone. However, the old Callisto will never see it again. She always hangs her head and looks at the ground in shame; The smile on his face disappeared, and he often sat silently away from everyone; When hunting, there is no courage and aura, watching the prey slip away from the nose.

to make matters worse, she found out that she was pregnant. No matter how to hide it, finally one day, everyone still knows the secret. Artemis, who didn't know anything about it, was furious. Although she regarded Callisto as her own daughter, she couldn't restrain her anger and drove her out of the hunting ground.

Callisto, who was helpless, built a thatched shed in the deep forest and settled down. She never saw the laughing scenes of her sisters or heard the call of the goddess. Soon after, she gave birth to a boy and named him Arcaz, which became a little sustenance in her life.

Zeus thought it was done in secret and no one would know. However, when God also miscalculated, his wife Hera, the queen of God, heard about it. Hera was born in a noble family, and she was arrogant since she was a child. Even Zeus sometimes had to respect her. Zeus has done such an ugly thing behind her back, and Arcaz Jr. has been born and is following her mother to walk! Hera, who has always been uncompromising, is going crazy. She vows to punish Callisto with her magic and let her know the majesty of the queen of heaven.

days later, Hera came to the woodland where Callisto lived. When she saw her, she swore at her. She ignored Callisto's pleading, tore her hair and threw her to the ground. She said savagely, "I'm going to ruin your beauty so that you can't be charming anymore!"

While speaking, Hera secretly cast a spell. Suddenly, Callisto's white arms grew long and thick black hair, her delicate fingers turned into sharp claws, and her delicate red lips suddenly turned into maws. Hera was still not Japanese. She was afraid that Callisto's prayer voice would be heard by Zeus, so she was deprived of her ability to speak and turned her silvery voice into a dull roar. In a blink of an eye, the angelic Callisto disappeared forever, and she turned into a big bear.

Poor Callisto wanted to cry, but she kept wailing, lamenting the tragic fate and cursing the heartless Zeus. Once upon a time, that heroic hunter has become a beast chased by hunters, hiding in the mountains and forests all day, and there is no longer a peaceful time in the past.

time flies, fifteen years have passed. Little Arcaz grew up to be a beautiful young man, brave and determined like his mother, and became an excellent hunter. One day, Hera happened to meet Arcaz. The son of her enemy was so handsome. The evil spirit of more than ten years ago came to her mind, and a deadly trap was born in her heart.

One day, Arcaz was looking for prey in the forest with a pike in his hand. Suddenly, a big bear came slowly towards him. This bear is Callisto. She recognized that the brave hunter in front of her was the little Arcaz she had been thinking about for fifteen years, and she excitedly ran forward to hug her baby.

God, how could Arcaz think that the bear in front of him was his mother who had been separated for fifteen years! Seeing such a big bear coming at him, he flashed back excitedly, raised his spear and tried his best to stab the bear.

it's almost a tragedy. Fortunately, Zeus, who was touring the sky at this time, saw this scene, and he really couldn't bear to let his son kill his mother himself. So he changed Arcaz into a bear by a little magic. In this way, little Arcaz immediately recognized his mother. He ran up affectionately and snuggled up in his mother's arms, and the mother and son were happily reunited.

In order to prevent the mother and son from suffering any more accidents, Zeus promoted them to heaven and gave them two glorious positions among the stars, namely, the constellation Ursa major and the constellation Ursa minor, which are shining brightly in the northern sky.

Hera stole the chicken and wasted the rice. She was furious, but she couldn't provoke Zeus, so she sent a hunter with two ferocious hounds to chase after the two bears. This hunter is the shepherd in the sky, and the two hounds he leads are the dog constellation Canis.

The ancient Greeks saw this big bear wandering in the sky every night and never falling below the horizon. They thought it must be Hera's trick again. It turned out that Hera sent hunters and hounds to chase the bear mother and son, but she still refused to give up. She went to the blue sea again and asked her brother Poseidon for help. Poseidon listened to her sister's story and agreed to her request. Therefore, we can see that other constellations have the phenomenon of rising in the east and setting in the west. There is always a period of time when they sink below the horizon and go to rest in the territory of Poseidon. Only the two bears are excluded. But it's all right, Callisto can always stay by her Arcaz's side, lest Hera come up with any bad ideas again. Fuxi's brother and sister said that a long time ago, the heavens and the earth changed dramatically, and the storm day and night attracted floods in all directions. The rich are hiding in the silver cabinet, and the poor naturally have no place to hide. Only the smart Fuxi brothers and sisters are hiding in a big gourd. When the flood overflowed the mountains and rivers, and the sky was even, the silver cabinets all fell to the bottom of the water, and the poor people were drowned, only the big gourd was still floating on the water. Since then, there has never been a human being between heaven and earth. I don't know how long it took, and the floods in all directions gradually receded. Everything miraculously reappears, except for the fireworks on earth. So, the immortal descended from the sky and began to look for people everywhere. When the fairy met the bee, she said to the bee, "Big Brother Bee! Brother bee! You've been foraging everywhere. Have you ever seen a human being anywhere? " The hateful bee replied, "I haven't seen it. If I see it, I will definitely sting people to death." The fairy said angrily to the native bee, "I can't find someone to smoke. Even if I do, I will be stung to death by you. You are the only creature left to be burned by the sky." If I want to find a ghost, I must call someone to burn you. " Therefore, people nowadays have the habit of burning ground bees to eat. When the fairy met the little grass bee, she said to the little grass bee, "Little grass bee! Grass bee! You've been foraging everywhere. Have you ever seen a human being anywhere? " The hateful little grass bee replied, "I haven't seen it. If I see it, I will definitely sting people to death." The fairy said angrily to the little grass bee, "I can't find someone to smoke. Even if I do, I will be stung to death by you. You are the only creature left to breathe." With that, the golden wrist rope will be beaten down, and the grass bee will be whipped into two sections instantly. The little grass bee begged the immortal to live, and the immortal felt pity for the little grass bee, so he had to connect the waist of the little grass bee with the horse mane of his mount. Therefore, the small grass bee is also called the thin waist bee. When the immortal met the palm tree, he said to the palm tree, "The palm tree king! Palm tree king! You are stirring up the wind, have you found out where there are people? The hateful palm tree replied, "I didn't listen. If I wanted to listen, I would definitely fan out the fireworks on earth." The fairy said angrily to the palm tree, "I can't find someone to smoke. Even if I do, you will fan out the fireworks on earth. You are the only creature left to skin." If I want to find a ghost, I must ask someone to skin you twelve times. " Therefore, people nowadays often peel palm trees to sew hemp fiber, and one peeling is twelve pieces. When the fairy met the little bee, she said to the little bee, "Little bee! Little bee! Have you ever heard voices anywhere? " The honest little bee replied, "When the flood flooded, I had no way to pick flowers. I once flew to the middle ocean to pick gourd flowers, and I heard someone talking in a floating big gourd." The fairy said happily to the little bee, "When I find the human beings, I must ask someone to suffer for you." The hurried little bee listened to what the fairy said as "suffering for people to eat" and promised to fly away "mm-hmm". Therefore, people nowadays always enjoy the honey that the little bees have worked so hard to accumulate. When the immortal met the eagle, he said to the eagle, "Brother Eagle! Brother eagle! Can you fly to the middle of the ocean and bring me back that floating gourd? " The sly eagle replied, "I can take the gourd back. What good will you give me?" The fairy said, "When the people are crowded, you can go to the people's place to pick up two chickens around the Spring Festival." So the eagle took the gourd to the cave with satisfaction. Therefore, before and after the Spring Festival, the shadow of the eagle will always hover over the mountain village.

When the immortal met the mouse, he said to the mouse, "Brother Mouse! Brother mouse! Can you chew up this big gourd for me? " The sly mouse replied, "I can chew up the gourd, but I can't eat or drink. What good will you give me?" The immortal said, "When people pass by, I will give you three liters of upstairs grain." The greedy mouse didn't agree, so the fairy had to promise the mouse that he could eat food for three years. Then, the mouse slowly chewed the gourd open. Therefore, now rats always take turns to eat food from each household for at least three years. When the mouse completely chewed the gourd, the immortal finally got his wish, and Fuxi's brother and sister saw the light of day again. Facing the desolate land, Fuxi brothers and sisters felt infinite loneliness and sadness. Crying day and night, no end. The immortal said, "If you want to pass on cigarettes, brother and sister should also be husband and wife!" " Fuxi's brother and sister said, "How can I be husband and wife if I call my brother and sister?" The immortal had to think of various ways to persuade Fuxi and his brother and sister to be husband and wife. The immortal said, "There is a mill on the east mountain and a mill on the west mountain. If the bottom of the grate is rolled up, brother and sister will be decided by heaven." So, Fuxi's brother and sister went to the two mountains to roll and grind, and as a result, the two mills rolled together in one place. The fairy said, "Brother and sister should be husband and wife this time!" " But Fuxi's brother and sister still said, "How can I be husband and wife if I call my brother and sister?" The immortal said, "There is a cage fire on the mountain in the east and a cage fire on the mountain in the west. If the fire and smoke come together, brother and sister will be decided by heaven." So, Fuxi's brother and sister went to the two mountains to make a fire, and as a result, the smoke was twisted together. The fairy said, "Brother and sister should be husband and wife this time!" " But Fuxi's brother and sister still said, "How can I be husband and wife if I call my brother and sister?" The fairy said, "There is a dustpan on the east mountain and a dustpan on the west mountain. If the dustpan is rolled up, brother and sister will be decided by heaven." So, Fuxi's brother and sister went to the two mountains to roll dustpans, and as a result, the two dustpans really rolled together. The fairy said, "Brother and sister should be husband and wife this time!" " But Fuxi's brother and sister still said, "How can I be husband and wife if I call my brother and sister?" The fairy said, "God has decided that brother and sister should be husband and wife!" " Fuxi's brother and sister could not go against their destiny, so they had to get married. Poor Fuxi and his wife gave birth to only one meat ball, and the mission of reproduction was not completed. The immortal had to pinch the meat on the meatball, and smoke spread from mountain to mountain. When the immortal reached the hundredth mountain, the meat on the meatball was pinched out, and the immortal pinched the hundredth dish of meat on the ninety-nine dishes in front of the ninety-nine mountains and spread it on the hundredth mountain. The next day, fireworks started on this mountain, fireworks started on that mountain, and there were people on this mountain and there were people on that mountain. On a hundred mountains, a hundred nationalities began to breed. The Yi nationality is the dish of meat pinched by the immortal on the mountain of Ma Yinghua, and this day is the eighth day of February. Since then, the Yi people have thrived under the Ma Yinghua tree and lived a happy and peaceful life. On the eighth day of February, the Yi people will celebrate the Ma Yinghua Festival, singing and dancing to celebrate the prosperity of the population and the prosperity of six animals. It is said that there were five mountains in the east of the ancient Bohai Sea, which often floated with the waves. God ordered 15 giant aojiang to stand on their heads, so that the mountain could not move. A man in Longboguo felt very inconvenient because he had to go through these five mountains when he went out. When he learned that it was supported by an aojiang, he used bait to catch the aojiang and caught six aojiang in a row, so the two mountains sank into the sea. ................
