Bai Folk Legend Story 1: Bai Torch Festival A long time ago, the leader of the Bai nationality was a handsome and brave prince with strong martial arts and won every battle. He often rides a tall white horse and wears white armor to patrol his country. Under his rule, the Bai people lived in peace and contentment without fear of foreign aggression. On one occasion, there was a dispute between the Han nationality and the Bai nationality, which triggered a war between the two nationalities. The prince of the Bai nationality put some clay figurines and horses in a cupboard with mud. Whenever the enemy rushed in, the prince opened the cupboard and read the recipe. The clay figurine and the horse in the cupboard instantly became brave warriors, fighting with the enemy with the prince of the Bai nationality until the powerful enemy was defeated and retreated to the village.
Despite this, the Bai prince was captured by the enemy for more than 20 times. Every time I get caught, I have to be dragged out to get a commission, but I can't die every time. He ran back and took the soldiers to the front the next day. Everyone feels very strange, and no one knows the mystery.
Once, the white prince escaped from the tiger's mouth again, and his wife greeted him. After drinking, she asked, Husband, are you a hero or a saint? Why didn't you die after being beheaded more than 20 times?
Prince Bai trusted his wife and told her quietly: Madam, the head God gave me can't be cut with a hard knife. If you want me to die, you must tie my arm with dog intestines and kill me with a sharp knife. Don't tell this secret to anyone. ?
Later, because the enemy couldn't kill the prince, he was defeated by the clay figurine of the prince every time he fought. They thought that if it lasted for a long time, the casualties would be heavier, so they came up with a poisonous plan, paid a lot of money to buy off the prince's wife, and knew the prince's achilles heel. In a battle, the prince didn't know that his wife had betrayed him, but he fought bravely as always. In this battle, he was unfortunately caught by the enemy again. The enemy really tied the prince's arm with dog intestines and killed him with sharp grass.
When the prince was killed, it happened to be June 25 of the lunar calendar. When people looked around and waited for the prince to return home in triumph, they lit torches and looked everywhere, but they couldn't find them.
From now on, in order to commemorate the prince, the Bai people will light torches to look for the prince every year on June 25th of the lunar calendar. Although I can't find it, I have been holding a hope. Over time, it has become a traditional torch festival of the Bai people.
Story 2: In ancient times, there was an old farmer of Bai nationality who raised a white-haired cow. This cow has a strong body. She often eats grass in the deep mountains and forests, and sometimes climbs steep rocks to eat grass, which is more dexterous than rock sheep. Later, the white cow was full and gave birth to a baby ten months later. At that time, there was a 70-year-old Bai woman in the village whose husband died in the war. She was childless, had a hard life, her eyes were dim, her body became weaker every day, and then she was bedridden.
One day, Bai Niu came to the door of the old woman's house, opened the door with a horn, went to the place where the old woman was sick, knelt down on her front foot, moved her nipple to her mouth and let her suck. In this way, more than a month, the old woman recovered. Another day, Bai Niu was looking for grass when he saw a baby lying on his dead mother crying, his voice hoarse and miserable. The dead mother's limbs were stiff, and the white cow circled around the baby several times. It holds the baby's coat in its mouth, moves the baby to a quiet place, and lies down on its side to nurse the baby. Then I brought some hay, spread it underground, and let the baby sleep in it. From then on, look for grass around the baby's place every day until the baby can walk and finally grow up.
It is said that this baby is the incarnation of Buddha. White cattle can understand human nature, and the matter of saving lives by giving milk touched the jade emperor in the sky, and it was officially named Shen Niu. As a result, the Bai people carved the story of the white cow milking on the rock wall of Huokeji and passed it down from generation to generation.
