Once upon a time, there was a place called Adidi. A beautiful girl was born in a poor Ashmaming family in Gurry. My aunt wanted her daughter to shine like gold, so she named her Ashima. She grew up like a gorgeous Imei flower. Ashima "wears embroidered hair, the beautiful girl makes people love, the embroidered waist sparkles, and the teenager is blinded by her." She can sing and dance well, and her clear and loud singing often attracts young people into bars. She can embroider and weave hemp, and she is as fragrant as carnations around young people. At this year's Torch Festival, Ashima confided her true feelings to Ahei, wishing to make a lifelong commitment and swear not to marry others. Ahei is a brave and clever Sani young man. When he 12 years old, his parents were abused by the toast and died one after another. He was taken by the rich Hot Bubala to do hard labor. One day, he got lost while picking fresh fruit for his host. He was cold, hungry and frightened in the dense forest, and he dared not go back for fear of being scolded by his master. Just then, he met Ashima, a little girl who was herding sheep. She took Ahei home, and Ahei was adopted as an adopted son by Ashima's parents. From then on, two young people, Ahei and Ashima, fell in love. Gradually, Ah Hei grew up to be a big boy, with a personality like a pine tree on a high mountain-he couldn't bend it, and he became an example for young people who evacuated overseas Chinese from Nepal around him. People praised him, saying: Ashima scenery (20 photos) Kameyama trees are high, Sani boy Ahei is the best, thousands of pines are not afraid of the cold, and the brave Ahei is too heroic. A hei is hardworking and good at growing crops. He planted corn on the gravel ground, which grew more luxuriantly than others and the ears of corn were longer than others. He went up the mountain to chop wood, much more than other boys. He likes riding bareback horses since he was a child. The horse he trained is as agile as a fly. He drew a bow and shot an arrow, hitting every shot. His adoptive father Grumman gave him an arrow, which made him even more powerful. A hei likes singing, especially loudly. He likes playing flute and sanxian. His flute is particularly melodious, and his black boy is particularly beautiful, attracting many girls. This year's Torch Festival, after Ashima and Ahei poured out their love, the righteous brother and sister were both engaged. One day on the street, Ashima went to catch the street and was taken a fancy to by A Zhi, the son of a wealthy man with a bottom, Bubala. He wants to marry Ashima. He went home and begged his father to heat Bubala and let him find a matchmaker to marry him. Hot Barbara has long heard of Ashima's good name. He immediately agreed to his son's request, invited the powerful matchmaker Hai Ruo, and immediately went to Ashima's house to act as matchmaker. Hai Re went to Ashima's house, boasting with his snake-like tongue how good and rich Bubala's family was, and how much Ashima enjoyed when she got married ... Ashima said: "The Bubala family is not a good family, but his family grows flowers to attract bees, and bees ignore him. Clear water does not muddy water, and sheep cannot accompany wolves. " Ashima's answer annoyed Hai Ruo. He threatened: "The Bubala family is a rich and powerful family with a bottom. If Bubala stomps his feet twice, the bottomed mountain will shake three times. Ashima will lose her home if she doesn't marry. " Ashima refused to get married, no matter how threatened and seduced by the hot sea. In a blink of an eye, autumn came, the grass withered at the bottom of the valley, and the sheep didn't have enough to eat. A hei wants to drive the sheep to a hot place in southern Yunnan far away to eat grass. When he left, Ahei said goodbye to Ashima. They encouraged each other, told each other, and reluctantly left. After Ah Hei's departure, Hot Bubala had evil thoughts and sent thugs and servants to rob Ashima like wolves. I want Ashima to kowtow, eat wine, have guests, cook with uncooked rice, or marry. Ashima is loyal to her love with Ahei. After Bubala's house was robbed, she refused to marry Azhi in the face of threats and inducements from the Bubala couple. The rich man held out gold and silver treasures, pointed to the barn and cattle and sheep and said to Ashima, "As long as you follow Aji, these are all yours." Ashima said contemptuously without looking, "I don't want these, I just won't marry your family." Azhi is skinny, blinking and cursing savagely: "If you don't promise to marry me, you will drive your family out of Adi!" " Ashima said without fear: "Big talk can't scare people. Adi doesn't belong to your family. " Hot Bubala saw that Ashima refused to eat hard or soft, and became angry from embarrassment. He ordered the servant to severely beat Ashima with a whip and beat her black and blue. Bubala's wife cursed Ashima for "being born cheap, but not enjoying happiness". Ashima was put into a dungeon, but she firmly believed that as long as Ahei knew that she was being held in Bubala's house, she would come to save her. One day, Ahei was herding sheep, and the messenger sent by Adi found him and reported the news that Ashima had been robbed. When Ahei heard the news, he was very worried about Ashima's safety. He jumped at once, whipped up, worked hard day and night, crossed mountains and steep cliffs, and rushed home from afar to rescue Ashima. He came to the door of Bubala's house. Chi closed the iron gate and wouldn't let him in. He offered to sing a duet with Ah Hei, and won't let him in until he won. Ah Zhi sat on the gatehouse, and Ah Hei sat under the fruit tree. They sang songs for three days and three nights. O lack of talent and wisdom, the less you sing, the more you blush and have a thick neck, and your voice becomes like a lame clam, which is more and more ugly; The talented Ah Hei, with a smile on his face and a loud voice, became more energetic as he sang. Ah hei finally won the song, so Ah Zhi had to let him in. However, A Zhi made every effort to cut down trees, graft trees and sow seeds with Ahesai. None of these tasks is as skilled as Ah Hei, who is better than Ah Zhiqiang in everything. Hot Bubala saw that Ah Hei couldn't resist, so he came up with a deadly trap. He pretended to say, "It's getting late. You have a good sleep first, and I will take Ashima to send you away tomorrow! " Ah hei promised to stay and was arranged to sleep in a house without a door. In the middle of the night, Hot Bubala ordered his servant to release three tigers in an attempt to hurt Ah Hei. Hei is ready. When the tiger opened its jaws and came at him, he took out his bow and arrow and pointed it at the tiger. Shoot three arrows in a row and kill the tiger. The next day, hot Bubala and his son were surprised at the death of the tiger. There was nothing they could do, and they agreed to put Ashima back. But when Ahei walked out of the gate and waited, Hot Bubala immediately shut the door, reneging on his words and refusing to let Ashima go. O black unbearable, immediately bow and arrow, even shot three arrows. The first arrow hit the city gate, and the city gate opened at once; The second arrow hit the pillar of the hall, and the house buzzed with shock; The third arrow hit the altar and shook it. Hot Balak was afraid, and hurriedly ordered dinking to pull out the arrow on the table. However, the arrow seems to have taken root, and no one can pull it out. He had to find someone to open the black cell door, release Ashima, and implore her: "As long as you pull out the arrow, I will let you go home at once." Ashima glanced at Hot Bubala with disdain, stepped forward, gently pulled off the arrow like picking flowers, and then left the home of Hot Bubala with Ah Hei. Hot Bubala and his son watched Ah Hei take Ashima away, unconvinced, but did not dare to stop him. Bubala and his son refused to give up. They came up with an evil fatal trap. Knowing that Ahei and Ashima would go home at the foot of the Twelve Cliffs, they colluded with the Cliff God to turn the river at the foot of the Cliff into a big river and drown Ahei and Ashima. Before Ahei and Ashima crossed the river, Bubala and his son took the lead, took advantage of the flash floods, pulled open the rocks in the upper reaches of the river and released water. Just as Ahei and Ashima were crossing the river, the flood rolled in and Ashima was caught in the whirlpool. Ah Hei only heard Ashima shout "Brother Ahei, come and save me", and never heard her voice or saw her again. Ashima disappeared, and Ahei struggled ashore, looking for Ashima everywhere. He searched and searched until it cleared up. When he found that the big river had become a small river, he couldn't find Ashima. He shouted: "Ashima! Ashima! Ashima! " However, I only heard the twelve cliff tops answer the same voice: "Ashima! Ashima! Ashima! " It turned out that the girl singing at Twelve Cliffs saw Ashima being swept away by the flood; He jumped into the whirlpool, drained the flood, rescued Ashima and stayed at Twelve Cliffs together. Ashima became a stone peak and an echo. From then on, she will answer whatever you call her. Ah Hei lost Ashima, but she always missed her. Every night at dinner, he walked out of the door with a rice bowl in his hand and shouted at Shi Yazi, "Ashima! Ashima! " Ashima, standing on the cliff, replied, "Ashima! Ashima "When my grandparents went out to work, they shouted at the cliff," How are your parents? Ah! Okay？ Ashima! " Ashima, standing on the cliff, replied in the same way: "What about my parents? Ah! Okay？ , Ashima! " Under the cliff where Ashima stood, friends played three strings, played flutes and sang folk songs in Ashima on the cliff, and Ashima on the cliff also sang folk songs in response to the chords and melodious flutes in front. Ashima's voice always echoes in the stone forest; Her figure has turned to stone and will be with her family forever. From now on, whatever you call her, she will answer you. Her voice and her shadow remain in this world forever. Now Ashima has become synonymous with Yi women. There are many versions of the legend about Ashima, but no matter which version, it shows the tortuous and touching love story between Ashima and Ahei, shapes the artistic image of Ashima, a beautiful, kind, hardworking and brave Sani girl, shows the strong will of the Yi people to pursue a happy life, and praises the hardworking wisdom and fighting spirit of the Yi people in their struggle against evil forces. At the same time, the legend of Ashima truly reflects the social life of Sani people at that time, and provides valuable information for studying the politics, economy, art, religion and customs of Sani people of Yi nationality. The state attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. On May 20th, 2006, the legend of Ashima was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. On June 5th, 2007, determined by the Ministry of Culture, Bi Huayu and Wang Yufang from Shilin Yi Autonomous County of Yunnan Province were the representative inheritors of this cultural heritage project, and they were included in the list of 226 representative inheritors of the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage projects.
