Ancient legends and stories 1: the legend of Miao pleated skirt
According to legend, a long time ago, Chiyou, the ancestor of Miao nationality, lived in a far, far place, where the land was fertile, the water plants were rich, the cattle and sheep were in flocks, and the people lived well. This is not only because Chiyou is well governed, but also because he is brave and good at fighting and cares for his subjects. At the same time, it is also because he has a very good secret weapon-"Jin Duojian". This sword is not only extremely sharp, but also extremely powerful. Even if the enemy is as strong as a forest with thousands of troops, as long as you wave the "powerful sword", no matter how powerful the enemy is, how many times my strength will be shattered under its power. So Chiyou is famous. People loved him, and other vassal states came to pay tribute and signed friendly treaties with him, and some even took the initiative to form "Qin Jin friendship" with him.
Because Chiyou's prestige and status are increasing day by day, some people are bent on defeating him and then occupying his vast fertile land. Hanwang is one of them. In order to defeat Chiyou, he hypocritically befriended Chiyou and betrothed his beautiful daughter to Chiyou as a concubine. The purpose is to let her daughter act as a "spy" to spy on Chiyou's military deployment and steal his secret weapon-"Jin Duojian".
After marrying Chiyou, Hanwang's daughter pretended to be docile and hardworking on the surface, but was paralyzed by Chiyou in secret, secretly observing where Chiyou put his sword. Three years later, Hanwang's daughter couldn't find a place to live in hide the sword, Chiyou. Three years later, they gave birth to a little boy. One day, Chiyou went on a business trip, leaving only Hanwang's daughter to look after the children at home. On this day, the little boy cried all day. No matter how coaxed by Hanwang's daughter, the child just kept crying and pointed his little hand at the ceiling. Hanwang's daughter felt strange and went upstairs to have a look. It turns out that Chiyou's secret weapon "Sword and Sword" is hidden here. The overjoyed daughter of Hanwang quickly took out her sword, sprinkled it with dog blood and women's urine (according to folklore, dog blood and women's urine can make the divine power ineffective), and then quietly put the sword back in its original place. After all this, the Hanwang woman tried her best to tell her father the news and let her father lead troops to attack Chiyou. But it's such a long way, how can I post the letter? So she came up with an idea, that is, put the letter in the midsole, there is a needle on the mezzanine, and when she puts on her shoes, she pricks her feet. After all this, Hanwang's daughter entrusted her shoelaces to her father. Hanwang put his shoes on his feet immediately after receiving them, and he couldn't stop stabbing his feet when he walked. Hanwang felt strange and opened his shoes. As soon as I opened my shoes, I saw the contents of the letter clearly. So, Hanwang came to attack Chiyou with a large number of troops. When the dark army surrounded Chiyou's army, the guards quickly reported to Chiyou that Hanwang's army was coming. Chiyou thought he had many swords in his hand, so he said confidently, "Don't be afraid, wait until they get close." Hanwang's army was getting closer and closer, and Chiyou took out many swords, but no matter how hard he waved, no enemy fell ... In this way, Chiyou was defeated.
Since then, Chiyou has lost a large area of fertile land and lived a life of wandering and migration. ...

Ancient Legend Story 3: Legend of Golden Horse and Blue Chicken
There is a mountain in the east of Kunming called Jinma Mountain, and there is a mountain in the west called Bijia Mountain, which is historically called "the gods in the east and the spiritual instruments in the west" and is a symbol of Yunnan. As early as the Ming Dynasty, "Golden Horse in the Morning" and "Autumn Blue Chicken" were regarded as scenic spots in Kunming.
There are two main contents in the legend of golden horse and chicken crow circulating in Kunming: First, it is said that ancient Kunming was a desolate and barren land with no trees and flowers on the mountains. One day, the sun rose, and a fine horse flew out of the sun with a "rumbling" noise; When the moon came out that day, a rooster carved by Jasper flew out with the sound of "Flowers". So, in arachis duranensis, Kunming, flowers are in full bloom, the mountains are full of golden fruits, the dam has become a blue sea, birds are flying, and fish and shrimp are jumping.
Secondly, according to legend, King Yong of Wu married Princess Ailao, and Golden Horse and Blue Phoenix was a dowry gift from King Ailao to King Dian. Later, because the king of Dian had two princes, they both gave way to the throne. The old king of Yunnan accepted the prime minister's plan and asked the two princes to look for the golden horse and the blue chicken in the mountains. As a result, the two princes never came back after they went to find the golden horse and chicken, which became the reason why many folk customs in Kunming commemorated the golden horse and chicken.

The legend of golden horse crowing has a long history, and it was circulated among the people as early as the Western Han Dynasty BC. According to historical records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to the alchemist's statement and thought that there was a chicken in the south of Yunling, with green feathers, which could break stones and fly in the air, dazzling and lasting forever. Xuan Di, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, appointed Wang Bao to cure too much, and went to Yunnan to invite him to cure too much. Wang Bao did not arrive for some reason, but also wrote "Ode to Golden Horse and Chicken" as a sacrifice. Huayang Guozhi, a long canal in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, says that there are dragons and horses in Dianchi Lake, and horses and dragons mate to produce good horses, which can be "500 Ali days". Li Daoyuan (AD 472-527), a geographer in the Northern Wei Dynasty, also mentioned that there was a golden horse and a blue chicken in Yushan, Dayao, which was "common among the people". After the Tang and Song Dynasties, this wonderful legend was used by Buddhists, saying that the Golden Horse was the "god horse" of the Buddhist Ashoka. After the Tang Dynasty, there were temples such as Golden Horse and Biji in the East and West Mountains of Kunming, which people regarded as gods to worship. Scholars of all ages recited many poems about Golden Horse and Blue Phoenix.
