1. In ancient times, there were two tribes of the Naxi nationality, Wo and Mei, living in the first bay of the Yangtze River. The leaders fought for each other and refused to give in. Cruel fighting occurred year after year, people and animals were killed and wounded, villages were ruined, ghosts cried, rivers flooded, and the gods could not bear to see them. At night, God Ding was sent to become a white-haired old woman and a stone drum that could ring from the north side of Yulong Peak.

The old woman walked for a while and knocked on the drum. When the soldiers of the two tribes heard the drum, they involuntarily stopped their weapons and joined hands to make peace. The ghosts of the deceased were also comforted and the evil waves subsided. When she carried the ancient drum to the edge of the Chongjiang River, she stopped and knocked three times. Suddenly, the crow crowed, and God Ding hurried back, and the stone drum stayed there forever.

At the junction of Shiguchong River and Jinsha River, there is a pillar about 1 meters high. People call it "the stone of the general's guillotine". There is also a legend behind the mountain where Dayu stopped his boat. In ancient times, the Jinsha River flowed to Shigu area, surrounded by mountains, and there was no exit, and the river was rising day by day, making it difficult for the people to survive.

just seven Dayu came here to control the water. He parked his boat at the top of Wangjiang Mountain and looked at the mountain. He saw two big snow-capped mountains in the northeast corner, where no one lived. He decided to dredge them and sent the bravest general with him to chisel the mountains. The general went for a long time, but nothing happened. Dayu personally supervised. It turned out that the general helped Dayu to control water day and night, and he was overworked and fell asleep in the middle of the night, which delayed the event.

Dayu was furious and wanted to behead him. The general was extremely remorseful, and begged for his life, willing to smash the snow-capped mountains with his head. Dayu couldn't bear it, but he had to grant his request and put the sword in one fell swoop. The general's head rolled into the river like a ball of fire.

It washed away the river, washed away the silt, and slammed on the cliff between Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain. Suddenly, thunder and lightning flashed, and a passage was opened between the two snow-capped mountains. The river surged away, and thousands of people turned the corner. The general turned into a stone body. In memory of him, Dayu made a skull-shaped boulder embedded in the stone.

2. As for the origin of the New Year, there is a legend near the Jinsha River in Lijiang. It is said that in ancient times, a master and a disciple made a positive result and went out to govern the world. At the foot of a mountain, the teacher saw the Buddha throw a rag into the tree tomorrow and asked his disciple Ji Riliang to pick it up. Ji Riliang said, "What does an emperor do with rags?"

the teacher picked it into the basket by herself. After walking for a while, I saw a rope by the side of the road. The teacher asked his disciples to pick it up. Ji Riliang said, "You don't need a rope to be an emperor." The teacher picked it into the basket by herself. To the top of the mountain, I saw a hunter's teapot hanging on the tree. The apprentice refused to pick it, and the teacher picked it into the basket himself. When they were tired of walking, they made wild tea on the spot.

The teacher looked for firewood to make a fire, and told his disciples to look for water. On an auspicious day, he didn't find a drop of water. The teacher dug a hole by the pond and the water came up. Just as the tea was being simmered, it suddenly rained heavily. The teacher hung the picked teapot on the tree with the picked rope and turned himself into a fly and hid in the pot. On a auspicious day, there was nowhere to hide, so he turned into a rabbit and squeezed into the pot. After hiding his head, his tail was exposed, and he was caught in the rain all night, and his feet were also injured.

The next day, the apprentice's foot ached, so the master bandaged him with rags. Tomorrow, when the Buddha saw that his disciples were neither capable nor lazy, he just wanted to sit and enjoy the blessing of the emperor, and said, "We haven't the ability to govern the world yet. Let's go home." Unwilling, Ji Riliang said, "Whoever has a camellia in his tea bowl will be emperor on earth."

The two men made tea and waited. A camellia bloomed in the master's bowl. Ji Riliang quietly picked it from his bowl and said, "I'm going to be emperor!" Tomorrow, knowing that his disciples had ulterior motives, the Buddha only told him, "If you become an emperor, there will be more robbers and thieves, so you should take good care of them ... I'll make a show for you in the first fifteen days of every year, and you can take care of yourself after fifteen days."

So, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the first month, the Buddha of Tomorrow will be in charge of the world, and then the auspicious day will be in charge. On a lucky day, there is not enough merit, and the rich in the world, the poor and the poor, lead a restless life. Until the first month, people will eat big meat, wear new clothes and live a happy life every day, which is called New Year's Day.

3. Legend has it that on the Mengshi Mountain of Lashiba, there is a hawthorn tree with branches and leaves spreading like an umbrella cover. This hawthorn tree looks very strange. The two people can't close its thick tree, and it bends like an old man's waist. The branches that are stretched out are like a dragon crawling in all directions. Its shady area in Fiona Fang is more than 9 square meters.

On this amazing hawthorn tree, there are more than a dozen pairs of Naxi youths hanging around their necks to die of double suicide every year. It is a love-dead tree that is known far and near.

In ancient times, Aizu, the goddess of love, planted this tree while eating hawthorn fruit. Later, when the hawthorn tree grew to the size of a bowl, Zugu Yule and Kaimei long-lived quietly fell in love.

However, their marriage was blocked by their parents. Zugu Yule and Kaimei Jiuming met a barrier in their marriage. They were bewitched by the love of God, Youzu, and they met to find the kingdom of heaven. They both hanged their necks on this hawthorn tree and died of double suicide.

From then on, young men and women in the village, when they met things that men and women didn't like in their marriage, they had a long-cherished wish that they couldn't burn a fireplace together when they were alive, but they would also bury a pit after they died. They both bit their fingers, dripped blood beads together, and made an oath of never turning back. They both secretly fled home and came to this hawthorn tree.

In imitation of Zugu Yule and Kaimei's long life, they both hung their necks and died on this hawthorn tree. Such young men and women who are double-hearted have more than ten pairs of lovers every year.

There is an old orphan in Mengshi Village. His wife died of excessive bleeding in the second month, but a baby as big as a kitten was left by the fire pond. The lonely old man is both a father and a mother, bringing up the baby.

When the lonely old man's son grows up, he is not only handsome, but also sings many love songs that can turn girls' hearts over, making the girls in the mountains laugh and flying with his shadow all day.

The lonely old man frowned when he listened to the sweet laughter of the girls. Young men and women of Naxi nationality are free to fall in love, but their parents have to make a final decision to get married. Will this unrestrained laughter blow an irreparable gap in the hearts of their sons and fathers? Will the son leave his father and follow the laughter of women to double suicide? The lonely old man couldn't help shivering.

He thought: Eggs that are not tied with string roll wildly, so it's strange that eggs that fall to the ground can not be crushed. We can't delay, put a rope on this egg earlier!

On this day, the lonely old man and his son were sitting around the fireplace, sipping morning tea. The lonely old man said in a trembling voice, "Look, Dad's temples are covered with snow. You are also a bird flying in the sky. Dad is trying to marry you, so you'd better put on forehead oil as soon as possible."

"Dad, you can marry a daughter-in-law, but you have to do one thing according to your son."

"Yes, yes, ten pieces will do."

"ABBA, you mean my aunt's cousin. I don't want to marry her."

"what, what?" Cried the father in panic.

"Dad, if you marry a daughter-in-law, you can only marry the right person. If you don't marry the right person, I will be a bachelor all my life."

ABBA is going to hold a wedding for his son in Laba despite his son's opposition. While the son is in free love, he talks about the right person, and the girl has the crystallization of love in her stomach, and Abba is forcing her to get married. What should I do? The son went to the girl quietly, but his father's life was hard to disobey. He arranged a marriage, which was a scrag suozi, and they met and died.

It will soon be the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. Tomorrow, Dad will force his son to wipe his forehead with oil. In the house, he will kill the fat pig, soak rice, brew wine and wash vegetables, and his relatives and friends will be busy with tomorrow's happy event, as busy as ants on hot bricks. That night, my son made an appointment with the right person, and both of them escaped from the village, hanging their necks from the tree of love and dying.

When the sun first appeared from Dongshan, the lonely old man climbed up and urged his son to get up quickly. But ABBA's shouts passed, and there was no response in the inner room. The lonely old man thought his son was angry with him.

He went into the room and touched the bed. The bed was cold. I don't know where his only son went. The lonely old man was in a cold sweat. It was him ... He was double suicide. The lonely old man fell to the ground and touched the inner room, crying and crying: "Oh, hey, my only son has won, and he is dead."

The wailing of the lonely old man's beating his chest and stamping his feet made the villagers run out one after another. When everyone heard that the lonely old man's son had escaped, people all had a hunch that his son had been double-martyred. People found the lonely old man's son and lover, strangled by their necks, rigidly hanging from the hawthorn tree.

Ah, the happy event turned into a funeral. The lonely old man saw his only son die of double suicide. He was like a drunk madman. He cursed the ghosts in the tree of love death and took his son away. He took an axe from home with a lot of resentment, ran to the hawthorn tree that hooked his son's soul, spread his feet, waved an axe and cut it at the hawthorn tree.

The lonely old man suddenly found a touch of lightning-like bright air flying from the tree, and suddenly the mountains shook and the earth bumped, and there was a faint cry.

When people hold their expression steady, a drop of blood beaded from the axe mouth on the hawthorn tree, and a choking smoke rolled up from the axe mouth, from which came a burst of heartbreaking cries. People looked at each other in horror. Suddenly, there was a frightened shout in the crowd: "Hey, the lonely old man fainted."

When people recovered from the shouts, they found that the old man was foaming at the mouth and fainted on the ground. At night, around the lonely old man's house, a green and dense jack-o'-lantern flickered precariously. The jack-o'-lantern sometimes dispersed, and sometimes circled around the house, and there was a faint cry of Lengsen's ghosts.

At this moment, the lonely old man struggled to get up by the fireplace, his eyes glowed with cloudy cold light, and he pointed his hand at the door in horror and cried, "Hey, here, my son is coming."

The lonely old man had a painful spasm, and then he lay down stiffly. He rolled his eyes, foamed at his mouth, and trembled all over. In a daze, he said intermittently, "Come, come, my son is coming ..."

In the middle of the night, the lonely old man let out a scream of terror, stamped his feet and died. It was found that the lonely old man left a five-ring blue mark on his neck. It was said by villagers that the old man cut down the love-dead tree and offended the love-dead ghost (it is said that young men and women who died of love on the hawthorn tree carried the tree on their backs, and cutting down the tree was equivalent to cutting its soul), and he was strangled by the love-dead ghosts.

From then on, people never dare to cut down this hawthorn tree. Some people even say that if you pass by the tree of Love Death at night, you will find a big fire burning under it, and a group of young men and women will dance "Amonda" around the hawthorn tree, which is the love ghosts guarding their tree of Love Death in body double. The tree of love death has become a sacred tree, and it grows more and more lush.

4. It is said that after Emperor Wu of Hong gave the Naxi leader Ade the surname of Mu, the Mu chieftain often paid tribute to the imperial court. Seeing the majestic walls inside and outside the capital, he had the idea of building a wall in Lijiang.

As soon as this order was spread, the people in Lijiang complained bitterly. Because of successive disasters, eating became a problem, and they had to be assessed by this labor, which was even worse and more miserable. After hearing this, a scholar on the riverside rushed to Muwangfu overnight. When he saw it, he asked the first sentence: "Is the master going to destroy himself?"

For a moment, King Mu was stunned. When he came to his senses, he lashed out at him: "What fanatic did you say such nonsense? Give you a chance to explain yourself. If you can't tell me why, you will never get back! " The literati said unhurriedly: "Princess Muzheng lives in Lijiang, which belongs to the wood.": If you build a city to surround it, won't it become a' sleepy' word?

if you are trapped for a long time, you will die! Look at the public and think twice. " On second thought, Mu Shi thought it was a good idea, so he rewarded the literati and hired him as an aide. The people of Lijiang also escaped, and they all praised them.

In fact, the reason why Old Town of Lijiang doesn't build city walls is closely related to the geography, military and economy of Lijiang. The chieftain of Lijiang won the appreciation of the imperial court, and he can be the dominant party with peace of mind, and he can live in harmony with the neighboring local governments such as Tubo, Nanzhao and Dali, without the worry of war; Old Town of Lijiang is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which form a natural barrier.

There is a square square in the center of the ancient city, which is called "Sifang Street". For hundreds of years, Sifang Street has been the largest trade fair in northwest Yunnan. According to Ganlong's Records of Lijiang Prefecture, "merchants who sell Zhongdian must stop here in order to hire their feet for transshipment". It can be seen that Sifang Street was the most important economic hub at that time.

In the Naxi people's mind, Old Town of Lijiang is an open village and market town, which is closely connected with the life of every Naxi people. Streets and lanes seem to bring people together in this land, and rivers breed the most primitive culture in this town.

Walking on the bluestone road that has been deposited for thousands of years in Old Town of Lijiang, the broken soil beside the flower bed slowly falls with the afterglow of dusk, and after reflecting the whole earth, it flows under the Dashiqiao. After watching the most beautiful scenery in the dreams of ancient ancestors for a long time, you may occasionally get lost, and this ancient town without walls, like the Guanghua in childhood, will always find the direction.

5. Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain rise from the river, forming a grand canyon with a depth of three or four kilometers and a length of twelve kilometers. The Jinsha River passes through the gorge, forming seven waterfalls and eighteen dangerous beaches, and the sound of water is like dragons and tigers whistling. This is the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge. The legend about it is unexpected, like a soft lyric poem; Jinsha River, Nujiang River, Lancang River, Yulong Mountain and Haba Mountain were originally five brothers and sisters.

When the three sisters grew up, they agreed to go out and choose their husbands. Their parents were anxious and angry, and ordered Yulong and Haba to catch up. Yulong took thirteen swords, Haba took twelve bows, took a path to Lijiang, sat face to face and waited in turn, and made an appointment with the law; Whoever lets go of the three sisters will be beheaded. When it was Haba's turn to guard, Yulong just fell asleep and the Jinsha River girl came.

when she saw her two brothers blocking the way, she bowed her head and thought carefully, putting her feet very lightly. Suddenly, when her heart lit up, she sang a tactfully moving song, and Haba, who was singing the customs, was fascinated and gradually fell asleep. She sang and walked, and although she won eighteen in a row, she finally passed through the limbs of her two brothers. As soon as she got out of the gate, she also ran away with laughter and joy.

when Yulong woke up, he was angry and sad. He was angry that Miss Jinsha had gone away, but sad that the Haba brothers were going to be beheaded. He couldn't break the contract, slowly drew a sword and cut off Haba's head when he was sleeping, then turned his back and wept bitterly. Two tears turned into white water and black water, Haba's twelve bows turned into twenty-four bends on both sides of Tiger Leaping Gorge, and Haba's head fell into the river and turned into a tiger leaping stone.

There is another legend: there is a big gold mine in the upper reaches of Jinsha River. God sent a magic worker to dig gold. After years of digging, the magic worker missed his mother and asked God to allow him to go back to visit, but God refused, saying, "The gold dug is not enough for the world, and we can't go until we have dug enough." The gold digger was very angry and said to himself, "Let the people in the world who want to use gold go fishing in the river."

Then he scattered all the gold he had dug into the river. People in Jinsha River go fishing in the river. "Say that finish, he scattered all the dug gold into the river. There is gold in the Jinsha River, and people are not allowed to seek gold. The Yulong man asked the devil to judge, and the devil said arrogantly, "Whoever dares to take a step toward the river will eat it!"

The two brothers were furious and waved swords to fight with the demon king. Unfortunately, Hare's brother's head was cut off by the demon king. Yulong fought with the demon king for three days and three nights, and thirteen swords were cut short in a noisy battle, and finally the demon king was driven away.

From then on, the Haba brothers changed.
