The historical development of the Qiang people. What are the folklore stories about the Qiang people?

Legend has it that a long time ago, the ground was flat with no ravines or peaks. At that time, there was a tree called the mulberry tree, which was as high as the sky. One day, a group of bored apes climbed to the Tiangong along the branches and accidentally pushed them into the water jar of the Tiangong. Suddenly, rain and water surged like a spring, reaching the south gate. Seeing this situation, the patrolling heavenly god Mu Bita quickly recited a spell, and the water just ran away. But there are no fireworks in the world, and the ground is full of ravines.

Bita sighed unconsciously when she saw this situation. Suddenly, a heaven came and reported that there were two brothers and sisters. Seeing the water rising from the ground, they put it into their bags together and floated along the water towards the heavenly palace. Bita was very happy and hurried back to the palace. When he saw the smart and lovely brother and sister, he asked them what their names were. The man said his name was the moon, and the woman said his name was the sun.

Beeta told them the story of the world and heaven. She said: "Now that the floods are raging, there is no one left in the world. I only hope that you two brothers and sisters will do good things again." Bita gave the tactful instructions for the brother and sister to get married. After hearing what Pita said, the brother and sister had different opinions.

Bita had no choice but to let each of them take a millstone and lower it from two distant mountains. If two millstones collide, they will get married. The two siblings went up the mountain and put down the whetstone. As a result, the two millstones collided together at the foot of the mountain.

The two brothers and sisters were still dissatisfied. Mupita was very moved when he saw their persistence, but for the sake of the prosperity of the world, he had to give in to them. Then he said: "Then, you two each light a fire in the distance. If the smoke and smoke come together in the sky, you brother and sister will get married." The two brothers and sisters lit a fire as instructed, and the smoke was really came together in the air.

The two brothers and sisters knew that this was bxl's fate, and were moved by Mubita's concern for the world, so they became close. Soon, my sister became pregnant and gave birth to a baby. When Mupita found out, he asked them to turn the meat into small pieces. A few days later, I saw fireworks everywhere, and Mupita turned the pieces of meat scattered on the rocks into little people.

The sun and moon have made immortal contributions to the prosperity of the world. Bita decided to stay in paradise, but the two pandas were unwilling. They wanted to protect their children, but because they were already married, they had no face to meet each other at this time and asked to live separately from now on.

Bita admired the moral character of his brother and sister, so they took turns taking care of the children day and night with magic lamps. Brother Yue Yue knew that her sister was embarrassed, so she went out to look after the world at night, because no one would see it at night. she. But my sister is afraid of the dark, her brother lets her go out during the day, and my sister is afraid that mortals will laugh at her. So, her brother gave her an idea and asked her to go out with the Qianyin Needle. If anyone looks at her, she will use a silver needle.

From then on, they could never see each other again. Whenever the sun is about to set for my sister, my brother will escort her to the distant mountains. When she rose from the east, she wanted to call her brother, but the moon had disappeared from the western sky, so they lit up the world with the pain of parting.

At the same time, Mupita issued an order prohibiting intermarriage between brothers and sisters in the world, and the sky-high mulberry tree died when it was three feet above the ground.
