Tell me about the origin of Sun Moon Lake.

There is a beautiful legend about the name of Sun Moon Lake. It is said that a long time ago, two dragons lived in this big pool. One day the sun crossed the sky, and the male dragon jumped up and swallowed the sun. At night, the moon crossed the sky, and the mother dragon jumped up and swallowed the moon in one gulp. Two dragons swam around in the pool, spitting, swallowing the sun and the moon, touching and bumping like playing with a big ball. They just want to have some fun for themselves, but unexpectedly, there is no sun and moon in the world, and there is no clear day and night. The trees withered, the birds stopped singing, the ears of rice withered in the rice fields, the food of every household ran out, the cattle and sheep starved to death, and life could not go on. ...

At this time, a pair of young local men and women, smart and brave big sharp brother and water club sister, are determined to find the sun and moon for the world. But how can we kill the dragon? Brother Dajian and sister Shuishe sneaked into the cave where the dragon lived, and overheard the golden axe and scissors that they were most afraid of being buried under Alishan from the dragon's conversation. Brother Dajian and sister Shuishe went through difficulties and obstacles, braved the wind and rain, waded through mountains and rivers, and finally came to the foot of Alishan and dug up the golden axe and scissors. Then they went back to the edge of the big pool, and there happened to be two dragons playing with the sun and the moon in the pool. Brother Dajian jumped out of the pool and waved a golden axe to cut the dragon's head covered in blood and black and blue. Sister Shuishe seized the opportunity and cut open the dragon's stomach with golden scissors. Two dragons died, but the sun and the moon still sank into the pool. Brother Dajian took off the male dragon's eyes and swallowed it in one gulp. Sister water snake took off the mother dragon's eyes and swallowed them in one gulp. They became giants, standing in the pool like two high mountains. Brother Dajian threw the sun out hard, and sister Shuishe pulled up the palm trees by the pool to hold the sun up and lift it to the sky. Then Sister Shuishe threw the moon into the sky hard, and Brother Dajian also threw the moon into the sky with palm trees. The sun and the moon are hanging high, shining on the earth, and everything is revived. The vegetation is alive, the birds on the tree are singing again, and the rice in the field is heading again. People are cheering. Dajian Ge and Shuishe Jie have since become two magnificent mountains, standing by the pool forever.

Later, people called this big pool and these two mountains Dajian Mountain and Shuishe Mountain. Today, every autumn, we can still see people wearing beautiful clothes, picking up bamboo poles and colored balls and coming to Sun Moon Lake to play ball-holding dance, learning the way of Dajian and Shuishe, throwing colored balls into the sky, and then holding them with bamboo poles to prevent them from falling, in order to commemorate the young heroes of Dajian and Shuishe.
