Huamachi legend

According to legend, a long time ago, at the junction of Yanchi and Dingbian today, there was a long piece of Sichuan land. Sichuan is full of lakes of all sizes, just like the stars in the sky. One of the water lakes is particularly large, with clear water and overgrown with weeds on the shore.

At noon one summer, people living near the water margin suddenly found a colorful flower horse in the grass by the lake. Everyone thought it was an out-of-control mount on the Mongolian grassland. However, this flower horse is out of reach. When people get close to it, they jump into the lake. An active young man took off his clothes and jumped into the lake to catch it. Flowers and horses jump in the water. Not to be outdone, the young people struggled to catch up and were about to be caught. Suddenly, they heard a long hiss, and Huama suddenly dived into the bottom of the lake. The boys floated up and down in the lake, groping for it, and for a long time, they didn't even see the shadow of the flower horse. Everyone said sadly: a good horse drowned! Who knows that at noon the next day, MCA is eating grass leisurely by the lake, which makes people feel very strange. The playful boy went to catch it again, but Huama still dived to the bottom of the lake. Every day for several days. In the future, people will not bother him, saying that he is a horse and let him eat grass and drink water freely.

In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived, the flowers and horses are fat and the melons are smooth and round. One morning, the sky was full of snowflakes and the lake was covered with ice. Suddenly, I heard MCA hiss. In an instant, the ice on the lake cracked, and the water wave was set off with a bang. As soon as MCA jumped into the lake, the waves immediately calmed down and the lake was covered with sparkling ice. Since then, MCA has never jumped over the lake. But the lake turned into a salt pond. Lake water naturally crystallizes into salt, which has been inexhaustible for thousands of years. Because of the magical flower horse, people call this big salt pond the flower horse pond. The city built by the pool is called Mahua Chicheng.
