: Legend of Black Dragon Pool

A long time ago, Kunming was often dry, and once it didn't rain for months. A young man named Little Black Brother, in a fit of pique, wrote a doggerel to scold the Dragon King:

The Dragon King was killed by the sword, and there was famine everywhere. I pulled out your scales when I met you!

Brother Xiaohei told the villagers not to look for water. There is no airtight wall in the world. When Brother Hei scolded the Dragon King, the pockmarked Old Dragon King on the Five Old Mountains heard about it and was very angry. But the storm in Kunming happened to be his responsibility.

The old dragon king decided to punish little black brother. So he became a pockmarked old man with white hair, sitting at the mountain pass waiting for the little black brother. Brother Hei saw the pockmarked old man, asked him for water and asked him to lead the way. The old man led the little black brother into a dark mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he saw a pool of spring water. Little black brother was about to drink water when he heard a crash. Little black brother was tied up by a thick and long chain.

The old pockmarked man said, "I am the Dragon King. If you dare to scold me, I will throw you into this deep pool and drown! " "

Hearing this, little black brother flew into a rage and gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to scold you, the dragon king!" " "

The pockmarked-faced dragon king said, "You and I have no enmity in previous lives, and we have no enmity in this life. Why did you scold me? "

Little black brother said, "If it doesn't rain for half a year, you will kill a common people. Who are you scolding if you don't scold? "

The Dragon King said, "When it is dry, it will rain, and when it rains, it will rain. These things are exhausting. I am an old man and I really can't control it. "

Little black brother said angrily, "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

"You can try to do it, but promise me two things."

"What is it?"

"Rain is what dragons do. If it wants to rain, it must first become a dragon. This is the first thing. Second, after Jackie Chan, you are locked in this Longtan, and it rains only once every six months. "

"I promised you everything, but I can't wait six months. I'm going to rain today. "

"But today is not a rainy day. You can leave if you want. If it doesn't rain once, your chain will gain 1000 pounds. Will you do it? "

"fuck!"

The pockmarked-faced dragon king nodded, with one finger, untied the chain on Little Black Brother, and let him drink three mouthfuls of Longtan water. Little black brother suddenly turned into a big black dragon, rushed into the air and began to rain. It has been raining for three days and nights, the villagers have been saved and the crops have come back to life.

Little black brother was locked under the Longtan after the rain. Whenever there is a big drought, little black brother goes to rain privately, and the chain increases by 1000 kg. Every time he tried to break free from the chains, he struggled in Longtan, because it was a black dragon, and the sweat was black, which made Longtan black. This Longtan is called Black Dragon Pool. In memory of Little Black Brother, the Black Dragon Palace and the Dragon Spring View were also built.

The legend of Panlong River source

At the source of Panlong River, there is a small village with a quiet environment-Nanying Village. Here, people live in harmony with nature. Especially in Nanying Complete Primary School, there is a pool of semi-clear spring water, surrounded by green trees, and the school is particularly quiet when it is on holiday. However, it is not always so quiet and harmonious.

Legend has it that long ago, there was no such spring here. There is a big black cave among the green trees here. The mouth of the cave was cold and windy, and there lived a greedy and ferocious python in the cave. Therefore, the locals call this cave "snake cave". As long as someone walks through here, the python will open that horrible maw at the mouth of the cave, and with a gentle breath, passers-by will unconsciously take off from the ground. At this moment, I only see a big mouth full of fangs, but the outside world is getting farther and farther ... passers-by are swallowed into the python's stomach. Many villagers lost their relatives as a result.

The village is shrouded in fear of death. ...

In Nanying Village, there is an old man who sells north and south groceries for a living. The only relative of the old man is the little donkey who lives alone with him. In order to kill the people, the clever and brave old man came up with a way to subdue the python. The old man found a little donkey and a lot of powerful * * *, which was enough to raze a mountain bag to the ground. The old man wrapped * * around the donkey and drove the donkey near the python's mouth. The old man took out the flint, lit the fuse and shouted, and the flame ran up the fuse. The old man waved his whip and gave the donkey a good beating. The donkey brushed and ran to the mouth of the cave. At this time, the python thought that food was delivered to the door again, so it lazily opened its mouth and took only one sip. At this moment, the sky is about to fall and smoke is everywhere. The old man's donkey died, and the evil python finally got what it deserved. When the pythons' purulent blood ran out, people were surprised to find that there was a bright spring here, and from then on Nanying Primary School had this pool of spring water. Locals call the spring water "snake cave spring", while the stream where the spring water flows is named "Golden Snake Creek". From then on, people lived by water and finally lived a quiet and happy life. However, people have not forgotten the wise old man and the brave little donkey. People tell their stories from generation to generation. People here cherish this spring water, which never discharges sewage, because people want to continue this quiet and happy life from generation to generation.

The stories and legends of the goddess

Lion Mountain is the name of Yongning people, because looking from the east of Yongning Bazi, it looks like a lying lion, holding its head high and majestic, hence the name Lion Mountain. However, due to the prevalence of marriage and matriarchal system among local Mosuo people, the local mountains and rivers are branded with women. The largest lake is the mother lake, and the largest lion mountain is called "dry firewood", which is a mountain and "firewood" is the mother. Together, it is the mother mountain or the goddess mountain.

Ganmushan, also known as fox hill, is 3993 meters high and consists of limestone, with volcanic rocks in the north and depressions in the middle and northwest, that is, craters. People think it is like a sign of yin, so it is called Nvshan.

There is a vivid myth and legend about Ganmushan.

In ancient times, there was a beautiful girl by Lugu Lake. She was clever and ingenious. She can speak seven days after she was born, and her words are as beautiful as birds singing. Three months after I was born, I learned a lot that most adults can't compare with. By the time I was three years old, I looked like a fairy, and everyone around Lugu Lake knew it. When she was eighteen, she was already a local beauty. All the young men who met her came to please her and pursue her, and all the gifts she gave were piled up. But girls just don't talk, and boys can only keep outside the door and pursue them. This girl's name is Ganmu. She is diligent. As for spinning and weaving, it is said that she can weave 100 belts a day. In the process of knitting, she saw clouds, sun, moon and rainbow in the sky, and these patterns were also woven on linen; When she saw flowers, trees, birds and animals on the ground, she would also weave colorful threads on linen, so all the boys by Lugu Lake liked and pursued this girl. She is not cold to the young man. Anyone who pursues her will be treated well and get a belt as a symbol. Love on the earth also seduced the gods in heaven. One of the gods also courted the girl and set off a whirlwind that swept her to the sky. But the residents of Lugu Lake were angry and rushed to the earth. The gods were afraid and put her back, but she did not return to the earth, but attached herself to it.

The earliest goddess of dry wood should be a mountain left by nature, which was later called Lion Mountain. With the development of folklore, Ganchai Mountain gradually personified, and the image of goddess appeared. She is riding a white horse with a lotus in her left hand and an arrow in her right. At first glance, it looks like a hidden goddess, but it is actually a Mosuo female costume.
