2 Dai story: Songkran Festival in Xishuangbanna and Dehong.

Legend has it that a long time ago, A Dai village near Jinsha River lived in the depths of a dense forest. Because the forest is on fire, the villagers are in danger of being swallowed up by the fire. A man named Li Liang from A Dai, in order to protect the village, was not afraid of danger. He rushed out of the sea of fire and carried water from the Jinsha River to water the mountain fire. ?

After a day and a night of hard work, the mountain fire was finally put out and the villagers were saved. Li Liang was so tired that he fell to the top of the mountain. The villagers called clear water to quench Li Liang's thirst, but he couldn't quench his thirst after drinking 99 barrels of water. Later, Li Liang simply jumped into the river, became a dragon, and went along the river. Others say that he has become a big tree.

To commemorate Li Liang, every year on the third day of the third lunar month, the Dai people clean every household, sprinkle pine leaves, and set up a half-mile-long green shed with green trees beside selected rivers or wells, with thick pine needles under the shed and water tanks filled with water on both sides.

At noon, when the sun is at the top, everyone walks through the shed, soaks the pine trees in water, and sprays auspicious and happy water on each other to express their memory of Li Liang and their wishes for the New Year. This activity has continued to this day and has become an auspicious festival for the Dai people to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new year-the Water-splashing Festival.

The two fields are interlinked, and in the same labor, they formed a pair of lovers.

However, Niangnie's mother betrothed her to her uncle's house in Dazhai. Later, she was locked in her room and was not allowed to come out, ready to force her mother and sister to get married. Zhulang flew into a rage when he learned that Niang Mei was locked up. But I am alone, wandering around Niangmei's house every night, and I don't know what to do.

On April 18th of the lunar calendar, that is, three days before my uncle's wedding, Niang Mei took advantage of her mother's sleeping, broke out of the window, jumped out of the room, and saw Zhu Lang, who was deeply grieved. They both cried bitterly. They decided to go far away and fight against the feudal marriage system by "escaping marriage". The two men climbed ninety-nine miles in the dark and went through hardships to reach the 700-hole.

The villagers in Guandong Village are very sympathetic to their misfortune. However, the rich Yi Yin has a bad heart. Because everyone in the village said that Mei Niang was ten times more beautiful than his little wife Meng Liang, Yi Yin wanted to take Mei Niang as his concubine. So he pretended to take them home enthusiastically and became brothers with Zhu Lang.

The "down payment" in this village is quite loose, which gives Yi Yin a fatal trick, that is, when the crowd "pays money", Zhu Lang eats "the tip of a gun" and kills him. If Niang Mei fights alone, she will give in.

Zhu Lang and others were forced to go to Jiangjianpo to participate in "gathering wealth" and were stabbed to death while eating "meat on the tip of a gun".

5. Mongolian story: Alga Qiao Qi thinks Khan.

Once upon a time, there was an overbearing Khan in Mongolia. One day, he said to the minister, "You made an announcement and called all the eloquent people to the palace. Whoever answers the question suits me, I will promote him as a judge. " Minister issued a notice, smart Algazi and others were called.

Khan asked, "In my opinion, wolves won't eat sheep. Are you right? " A glib man replied, "Yes, wolves don't eat sheep when they sympathize with them." Khan said, "I said wolves don't eat sheep.

According to what you said, wolves still eat sheep, "so he was driven out, and another man with a clever mouth replied," wolves don't eat sheep when they are full. " Khan said, "You still say that wolves want to eat sheep." And kicked the man out.

Finally, Algazi calmly replied: "Khan, my Lord! You are in charge of the life and death of our people, and you are uncompromising where you are in charge. In that case, I think even wolves have to obey your will and dare not eat sheep. "

The proud Khan was overjoyed and announced: "Algazi's answer to the question is completely in line with my heart, and now he is appointed as a judge." However, Khan wanted to spite Algazi. He ordered a stone table with a bulging desktop to be carried to Algazi, and a bowl with a spherical bottom was used to offer him tea. Then, he personally handed Algazi a snuff bottle.

It is impossible not to pick up the snuff bottle handed over by Khan himself. To pick it up, you have to put the spherical bottom bowl on the bulging desktop, so that the bowl will roll down and make the ministers laugh, which is also impolite; And if one hand holds the tea bowl and only the other hand takes the snuff bottle of King Khan, it is a sin of disrespect to King Khan. In the face of such difficulties, Alga was in no hurry.

He took off the rosary on his right wrist, wound it into three circles and put it on the stone table as a bowl seat, put the spherical bottom bowl firmly on it, then respectfully took the snuff bottle handed over by Hanwang with both hands and took a drag comfortably. When all the ministers saw it, they all admired Algar's cleverness and wit.
