Myths and Legends of the Dai People Chapter 1: The Legend of the Peacock Dance of the Dai People A long time ago, there was a poor Dai people

In order to make a living, the young man went fishing under a hollow tree by the river every day, and he could catch a lot every time.

However, one day he fished from morning till night and couldn't even see a fish.

He felt very strange.

At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew into the hollow tree behind him.

There was a "buzzing" sound.

At this time, the fruit trees on the riverside were ripe with fruit, and they fell into the river with the wind, making a crisp and sweet sound.

At this moment, he saw the graceful reflection of the peacock on the hillside reflected in the river.

Seeing this scene, the young man looked back in surprise and saw a pair of green peacocks spreading their beautiful feathers and dancing with the beautiful sound.

At that time, the young man could no longer suppress his inner excitement. He said loudly: "Ah! I have arrived at the place where the gods live today!" So, the young man dropped the fishing rod, ran back to the village in surprise, and vividly told the villagers what had happened.

Everything you see.

The villagers were very surprised after hearing this, and they all hoped that they could see the touching scene with their own eyes.

Later, the young man brought many villagers to the riverside, cut down the hollow tree, sawed it into a long drum, covered it with a layer of yellow cowhide, and beat it with his hands, and it suddenly made a "boom-boom-boom" sound.

There was a melodious sound, and then the young man found a copper basin and a copper pot lid, and asked other young people to knock in harmony with the rhythm.

Then, amid the happy drumming, the young man imitated every move of the peacock and performed a lifelike peacock dance.

At that time, the people watching were fascinated and never tired of it.

Since then, the villagers have unanimously recommended the young man to dance the peacock dance at the "rushing" mass gatherings.

During the "rushing" days, the young man performed the human peacock dance for the Dai family for the first time. He artistically reproduced the image of the peacock and won the appreciation of the Dai family.

Since then, this kind of peacock dance, accompanied by elephant foot drums and gongs, has spread among the Dai people.

Myths and Legends of the Dai Nationality Chapter 2 According to legend, a long time ago, there was a local official in the Dai area. He was sent by the King of Heaven. He had two sons. The first one was Mazi, named Yandi; the second one was very good-looking.

, named Yanjian.

After his father died, Yandi became a local magistrate, but he only knew how to exploit the people and ignored their suffering.

When enemies came, he would hide in the sky. He would come down only after the people drove the enemies away.

Therefore, the people were very dissatisfied with him.

One year, the enemy invaded again, and the war was very fierce, but he had been hiding in the sky. His younger brother Yanjian led the people to fight bravely against the enemy.

Finally, after repelling the enemy, people elected Yanjian as the local official.

However, Yan Jian was unwilling to be a local official because his brother had to come down from the sky.

People say: "If he likes to be in heaven, let him be in heaven. We won't want him if he comes down."

Yanjian said that his brother would bring heavenly soldiers to attack them, but people said that as long as Yanjian leads them, they are not afraid of any enemy.

Not long after Yan Jian was elected as a local official, Yan Di came down from the sky and wanted to take back his official position. The people did not agree and drove him back to the sky.

Later, Yandi brought many heavenly soldiers and heavenly warriors to suppress the people.

After a fierce war, the people won the victory and the heavenly soldiers and generals were defeated.

Yandi was also captured alive by the people.

The corpses of the heavenly soldiers and generals turned into mosquitoes and flies. The rock bottom was burned to death by the people. After his death, he turned into the sun.

The summer is particularly hot now because the ghost at the bottom of the rock is still there and wants to harm the people.

After Yanjian became a local official, he cared about the people and governed well. The entire Dai area had abundant crops and livestock, and the people's lives were getting better day by day. The enemy no longer dared to invade.

But soon, Yan Jian died of a serious illness, and the people were very sad, so everyone picked a flower and placed it around his grave to express their love for him.

After Yan Jian died, he turned into the moon, and the flowers given to him turned into stars. The stars always accompany the moon.

The moon is changeable, so its light makes people feel cool.
