A long time ago, a poor Dai boy went fishing under a hollow tree by the river every day to make a living, and he caught a lot every time. However, one day he fished from morning till night and couldn't even see a fish. He felt extremely strange.

Just then, suddenly a breeze blew into the tree hole behind him. There is a buzzing sound. At this time, the fruit trees along the river are ripe and fall into the river with the wind, making a crisp and pleasant sound. At this time, he saw the gentle and graceful reflection of the peacock on the hillside reflected in the river. Seeing this, the young man looked back in surprise and saw a pair of green peacocks spreading their beautiful feathers and dancing with the beautiful sound.

At this time, the young man could no longer restrain his inner excitement. He said loudly, "Ah! I went to the fairy today! " So the young man threw down the fishing rod and ran back to the village in surprise, telling the villagers vividly what he saw. The villagers were very surprised after hearing this, and they all hoped to see this moving scene with their own eyes. Later, the young man came to the river with many villagers, cut down the hollow tree, sawed it into a long drum, covered it with cowhide, and knocked it with his hand, suddenly making a melodious sound of "bang".

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a local official in the Dai area. He was sent by the king of heaven. He has two sons. The first is pockmarked, named Yan Di. The second one is very beautiful, and its name is Rock Tip.

After his father died, Yan Di became a local official, but he only knew how to exploit people, regardless of their sufferings. When the enemy came, he hid in the sky until he was driven away. So the people are very dissatisfied with him.

One year, the enemy invaded again, and the war was fierce, but he kept hiding in the sky. In short, his brother led the people in a heroic struggle with the enemy. Finally, when the enemy is defeated, people choose Jane as a local official.

However, in short, he doesn't want to be a local official because his brother will fall from the sky. People say:? He likes to be in the sky, let him be in the sky, and we don't want him when he comes down? . Jane said that his brother would attack them with heavenly soldiers, but people said that as long as Jane led them, they were not afraid of any enemies.

Shortly after Jane was elected as a local official, the bottom of the rock fell from the sky and tried to restore his official position, but the people refused and drove him back to the sky. Later, many heavenly soldiers will be taken to the bottom of the valley to suppress the people. After a fierce war, the people won and the heavenly soldiers will be defeated. The bottom of the rock was also captured alive. The bodies of the heavenly soldiers turned into mosquitoes and flies, the rock bottom was burned to death by the people, and turned into the sun after death. It's especially hot in summer now because ghosts at the bottom of the valley are wandering and trying to harm people.

In short, after becoming a local official, he is sympathetic to the people's feelings and has a good governance. The whole Dai area is rich in grain and livestock, and people's lives are getting better every day. The enemy will never dare to invade again.

But soon, Jane died of a serious illness, and people were very sad, so everyone picked a flower and inserted it around his grave to show their love for him. The rock tip turned into the moon after his death, and the flowers people gave him also turned into stars, and the stars always accompanied the moon. The moon is a good official, so its light makes people feel cool.

The next day, they took an army to the early stage of the war. Every day, the bad news of Zhao Shutun's defeat and retreat comes. Seeing that the war was about to burn to his own territory, Zhao Menghai was in a hurry, but just then, a vicious wizard slandered him: Lanurona. Zhao Menghai lost his mind, listened to his words and decided to burn the beautiful peacock princess.

He said that thanks to Lanwuluona's way of luring the enemy deep, he defeated the enemy. But where has she gone now? Hearing this, Zhao Menghai woke up like a dream, but he was remorseful and told Zhao Shutun the cause and effect of forcing Lanwuluona away. This is a sudden blow. Zhao Shutun only felt dizzy. After he fainted and woke up, all he could think about was getting her back: I can't live without her. What's the point of my life without her?

He found a hunter friend and asked Lanwuluona's hometown about riding a war horse far away from Qianshan. Zhao Shutun set off again. With three magical golden arrows sent by a hunter friend and unswerving love for Lanulona, he overcame many difficulties and came to the entrance of a valley, which was blocked by two elephant-like mountains. Zhao Shutun fought his way out with the first golden arrow and entered the valley for a long and arduous struggle. Despite all the scars and unpredictable future, he finally reached the hometown of Princess Peacock. But the king of Peacock Kingdom decided to test whether Shu Tun was unfair to Lanwuluona or not to let Lanwuluona go back. The king asked his seven daughters to stand behind the sheets with candles on their heads, and asked Zhao Shu Tun to find his wife, calm down and put out the candles with arrows. With yearning for Lanulona, with the second golden arrow, the candlelight on Lanulona's head went out. Finally, at the moment of reunion with Princess Peacock, they hugged again with tears and vowed never to part.

When he got home, Zhao Shutun asked his father, knowing that the evil wizard had framed Lanwuluona and went to seek revenge from the wizard, who was actually a vulture. As soon as he heard that Zhao Shutun came to see him, he immediately turned into a prototype, flew into the sky, and ran away like a dream. Zhao Shutun drew the last golden arrow and shot it at the evil wizard with lightning. Since then, the story of Princess Peacock, a symbol of peace and happiness, has also been widely circulated among Dai people.
