The Miao ancestors only had wooden drums, also called leather drums. As for the bronze drum, it was handed down from heaven. When it comes to bronze drums, people all know that only Laoxian Po Wuhou Ni has them. It is said that she participated in the founding of the world and made contributions. The king of heaven specially gave her this precious gift and asked her to bring it back to the world to have fun with everyone. This bronze drum has delicate patterns. When it is beaten, the valley shakes. When people hear it, their hearts are excited; when birds hear it, they want to sing. Who would have thought that after Wu Houyi was brought to the human world, he would occupy it all by himself. She also specially fed two vicious dogs and guarded the bronze drum for many years. The two vicious dogs were so ferocious that no one dared to get close to them.
Whenever the festival comes and everyone happily dances around the wooden drum, they will naturally think of the bronze drum of Wuhou. It would be great to get a bronze drum! One year, when the Chinese New Year came, a young man and woman took advantage of the festival to get married in Longtou Village by the Qingshui River. They made appointments with many guests and prepared to have a fun time. With everything in place, it would be best to borrow Wuhou Ni’s bronze drum to play, then you will be truly satisfied!
Everyone came up with a way: pool money to rent the bronze drum from Wuhou Ni for a day . As a result, the person who was sent was blocked by Hou Ni, and everyone was disappointed. At this time, a young man named Bo Songga stood up. He said: "Friends and relatives! Such a grand festival and such a lively wedding cannot be without bronze drums! I am willing to go again and go to the Procuratorate and the Ministry of Affairs to find a solution." Everyone agreed, Bo Song Ga then ran to the court hall and the service hall to tell everyone their wishes. Gongtingla and Wutingsai gave Bosongga three handfuls of rapeseeds, three handfuls of lings, three handfuls of water, and three handfuls of rocks, and taught him how to use these things. Bosonga immediately went home and found two white radishes, roasted them half-cooked in the fire pit until they were scalding hot, wrapped them in rotten cotton, and put them in a small wooden box. Put the things given by the prosecutor's office and the service office into your purse. When everything was ready, he immediately went to Wuhou Ni to borrow a bronze drum.
When Bosongga arrived at Wuhou Ni’s house, Wuhou Ni had not returned from a visit to heaven. The two vicious dogs guarding the bronze drum saw Bo Songga and pounced on him. Bo Songga calmly threw out two hot white radishes. The two vicious dogs pounced on them and bit them. They were so hot that they screamed and fell to the ground. I was spinning around and my teeth were all burnt off. Bosongga stepped into Wuhou Ni's main room with three feet in two steps, picked up the bronze drum and left. Because he was walking in a hurry, he forgot to look at the road and fell. The drum hit the stone and the sound shook the valley and spread to the sky. When Wu Hou heard the sound of the bronze drum, he hurried home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that his beloved bronze drum was gone and the two dogs were barking without teeth. Wuhou Ni was so angry that he stamped his feet. She immediately took off the two bracelets and put them in the mouths of the two dogs. The two dogs suddenly had sharp teeth. Wuhou Ni immediately led his dog to chase him.
Bosonga was running with a bronze drum on his back when he suddenly heard a dog barking and knew that Wuhou Ni was chasing him. The barking of the dog was getting closer and closer. He immediately took out three handfuls of rapeseed given by the Public Security Bureau and the Ministry of Affairs and scattered them on the roadside. Three fresh and tender vegetable seedlings appeared in front of him. Wu Houyi was attracted by the vegetable seedlings. She stopped the dog and started to beat it immediately. By the time she finished planting seedlings in three fields, Bosonga had gone very far.
Wuhou Ni chased after the vegetable seedlings. The barking of dogs was getting closer and closer. Bosongga turned around and threw three handfuls of lings. The road suddenly became smooth and slippery. When Wuhou Ni came, he fell down and the dog couldn't chase him. By the time Wuhou Ni found the ashes from the fire pit and scattered them in pursuit, Bosonga had already gone very far.
Wuhou passed through the smooth and slippery icy road and chased after him desperately. The sound of the dog barking was getting closer and closer. Bosongga turned around and poured out three handfuls of water. Suddenly, three large rivers appeared behind him, and the waves were surging, blocking Wuhou Ni. She immediately drove two dogs home to carry the wooden trough. It took the two dogs a long time to carry the wooden trough. Wu Hou Ni immediately sat down on the wooden trough. Two dogs guarded the wooden trough and sent Wu Hou Ni across the river. By the time Wuhou Ni crossed the three rivers, Bosonga had gone very far. After crossing three rivers, Wuhou Ni tried his best to catch up. The dog's barking was getting closer and closer, and he was about to be overtaken. Bosonga calmly took out three handfuls of rocks and threw them away. Three cliffs with a height of 10,000 feet appeared in front of him, blocking Wuhou Ni. Wu Houyi could have jumped up the cliff to catch up, but the two dogs were helpless. Without the help of the dog, even if she went up, she could not take the drum back from Bosonga, so she had to go back dejectedly.
Bosongga stood on the high cliff and saw Wuhou Ni walking back with two dogs. He said "Ahu"① and happily carried the bronze drum back. Arrive at Longtou Village. The bronze drum was brought, and the men, women, old and young from the neighboring villages all danced and sang around the bronze drum for three days and three nights. From then on, the loud sound of bronze drums resounded throughout Miaoling.
