There is such a legend in the Tibetan Bath Festival.

Every night in late summer and early autumn, a very bright star appears in the southeast of Lhasa. At this time, the Tibetan people began the annual bathing festival. Legend has it that this star only appears in seven nights. Why do people designate seven nights when stars appear as bathing festivals? A long time ago, there was a famous doctor on the grassland. His name is Yuto Yun Dan Gombo. His medical skill is brilliant, and he can cure any intractable diseases. Therefore, King Chisong Dêzain of Tibet asked him to be a doctor to treat Tibetan kings and concubines. However, after Yuto entered the palace, he still couldn't forget the people on the grassland. He often uses the time when he goes out to collect medicines to treat people. One year, a terrible plague prevailed, and many herders were bedridden, and some were killed. At this time, the Jade Rabbit ran on the vast grassland to treat the sick herdsmen. He collected all kinds of drugs from the old forest of the snow-capped mountains, and whoever ate them would be cured. I wonder how many dying patients have recovered. The name of Dr. Yuto is widely read on the grassland, and people call him the King of Medicine. Unfortunately, Dr. Yuto passed away. After his death, a terrible plague occurred on the grassland, which was more serious than the previous one, and many people died. The dying herdsmen had to kneel on the ground and pray to heaven, hoping that God would bless them. Coincidentally, one day, a woman tortured by illness had a dream. In the dream, Dr. Yuto said to her, "Tomorrow night, when a bright star appears in the southeast sky, you can take a bath in Jiqu River. Just take a bath. " Sure enough, after the woman bathed in Jiqu River, her illness was immediately eliminated. A yellow and thin patient turned into a healthy person with a red face after taking a shower. After the news spread, all the patients came to take a bath in the river. All the patients who took a bath eliminated their diseases and recovered their health. People say that this strange star was changed by Dr. Yuto. In heaven, Dr. Yuto saw that the grassland people were attacked by the plague again, and he could not come to earth to treat the people, so he turned himself into a star, turned the river into a potion by starlight, and let people bathe in the river to drive away the disease. Because God only gave Uto seven days, this star only appeared for seven days. Since then, the Tibetan people have designated these seven days as a bathing festival. At this time of the year, herders all over the country bathe in the nearby rivers. It is said that after bathing, people will be healthy and happy and will not get sick.

Yao Jie's national legend

According to legend, in ancient times, among the beautiful mountains, there were two equally tall Baoshan Mountains, and the one on the left was called "Brohi" Mountain, which stood like a warrior. The mountain on the right is called Miroto, like a girl in a long skirt. The two mountains are getting closer every year, and finally came together after 999. On the 29th day of the fifth lunar month, an earth-shattering earthquake struck. The tall and handsome Brosi and the slim Miruotuo came out of the cracks between the two mountains and got married. They have three daughters. Time flies, and Milo, with gray hair, tells her husband to let her three daughters stand on their own feet. The eldest daughter plowed the fields on the plains with plows and rakes, gave birth to children, and became a Han nationality. The second daughter picked out a load of books and left, forming a Zhuang nationality with her descendants. The third daughter took millet and hoes to open up wasteland in the mountains, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and became the ancestor of the Yao nationality. Through the hard work of the third daughter, the crops have borne numerous fruits. Who knows that there are unexpected events in the sky, and the fruits of the bumper harvest are eaten up by birds, animals and gophers in an instant. Miroto encouraged her daughter when she was in danger: "It is inevitable that there will be dark clouds in the sky and life will inevitably suffer setbacks. Strong winds can't blow Jinsong, and difficulties can't scare hardworking people. As long as you work hard, life will be happy. " Gave her a gong and a cat. The crops will grow more gratifying in the coming year. She rang the bronze drum given by her mother, scared away the birds and animals, released the cat, ate up the hamster and got a bumper harvest. In order to repay the kindness of grandparents, the girl celebrated her mother's birthday with a generous gift on May 29th. Since then, Yao people have taken their mother's birthday as a festival to celebrate the harvest.
