A long time ago, in a small mountain village where Yao people lived, there lived an industrious old man. He is very kind, keeps his position in farming and hunting, and never does anything bad.

However, fate is unfair to him. He is almost 60 years old, but he has no children. The old couple are heartbroken all day and don't say a word every day, let alone joke. On such a sad day, even eating delicious glutinous rice is tasteless, and drinking sweet rice wine is not fragrant.

The old couple kill pigs and sheep every year to sacrifice to the gods. Every morning when they get up early, they should pray to the gods devoutly and ask them to give them a lovely child. After a long time, their sincerity finally touched the gods.

On the night of the old man's 60th birthday, the old couple had a dream at the same time. They dreamed of a golden peacock, shining brilliantly, flying to them and kindly saying to them, "Good old man! I am willing to be your daughter. " On this strange night, his wife was pregnant.

The story of peacock's daughter

Since then, the old couple have been happy from ear to ear all day, talking more and singing more.

Nine months later, the child was born, a beautiful daughter. The old couple gave her a nice name, Ajenma.

Azhenma will laugh when she grows up to two months, as beautiful as a thrush in the mountains. Ajima could walk when she was six months old. She is as lovely as a bird.

However, when Ajenma was one year old, her grandmother died suddenly. Since then, father and daughter have lived together, and no one can live without anyone.

Smart and beautiful Azhenma can herd sheep at the age of three, spin at the age of four, weave at the age of five, embroider at the age of six, and work in the mountains at the age of seven. At the age of 16, she learned all the fine work in the world.

The beautiful and intelligent Azhenma, who is 17 years old, is the most beautiful and intelligent girl in the world. She can embroider all kinds of flowers and birds with dexterous hands. The more she embroiders, the better. She can embroider living flowers and flying birds.

When the beautiful and clever Ajenma grew up to 18 years old, she wanted to add some of the most beautiful birds to the world, so she hid in the hut and embroidered them. On the first day, a beautiful peacock was embroidered, and the peacock flew from the cloth; The next day, a love birds was embroidered, and love birds flew away from the cloth; On the third day, a colorful golden pheasant was embroidered, and the golden pheasant flew away from the cloth ... so more and more beautiful birds began to appear in the mountain village

She embroidered for 360 days and embroidered 360 beautiful birds. These birds fly to the mountains and live with the earth. The mountains and the earth will be more beautiful.

The story about the beautiful and clever Jane Valerie's live bird spread like wildfire. The greedy toast also knows about it. The toast has an evil idea and wants to marry Ajenma as a concubine. He invited a matchmaker and drove 30 cows and 300 sheep to Ajenma's house to propose marriage. All the cattle and sheep in the mountain could not move the old man's heart, and the matchmaker's request was rejected. Later, the toaster personally proposed marriage with gold, silver, satin and wine and meat.

Gold, silver, satin, wine and meat could not touch Ajenma's heart at all, and the toast's proposal was rejected again.

The greedy toaster tried his best, but he couldn't marry the beautiful and clever Ajenma. He was so angry that he ordered his men to tie Ajenma to his horse and take her away.

The kind old man cried and told his misfortune to the Yao family. People were angry, and they all took bows and arrows and blew horns to chase the toast and recapture the beautiful Azhenma. After chasing a mountain, the Yao family let go of the crossbow, the toast and his horse and fell off the cliff and died. Poor Ajenma was also killed by a fall.

The old man saved his daughter back to the village and cried in his arms, but Ajenma didn't come back to life. That night, she became a golden peacock and passed away. The old man's sad cry attracted countless birds. Later, every autumn, there will be a grand "bird meeting" on this mountain.
