Who can help me briefly tell the Yi torch legend?

There are many legends about the origin of Liangshan Torch Festival, the largest Yi settlement in China. Among them, the most influential, widespread and representative story is the story of the Yi hero defeating the gods and demons and uniting the people to fight evil and disaster.

According to legend, there were six suns and seven moons in the sky in ancient times. There is sun exposure during the day, strong light shines at night, the land is barren, demons are rampant, and everything in the world is facing extinction. At this moment, the Yi hero Zhige Along shot and killed five scorching suns and six bright moons, tamed the last surviving sun and the last moon, conquered the raging flood and eliminated all kinds of demons that harmed the world. From then on, the world was sunny and lush, and the Yi people began to live and work in peace and contentment, just like a paradise. Yi people's traditional Chinese painting works-author Di Ying Shao [1] However, the god who rules all things in the world, Endiguqi, was dissatisfied when he saw that the world was so prosperous, so he sent his son, Heracles Majesty Aribi Tian Bing, to collect exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees from the world every year. Wherever the heavenly soldiers go, they burn, kill and plunder, and do all kinds of evil. The beautiful human world has been turned upside down by ghosts and gods, and people are living in dire straits and suffering. Later, in the hometown of Zhige Along, a Yi hero named Blackbody Laba appeared. He is strong, intelligent and fearless. He rides a fine horse and can walk thousands of miles every day. He can fly over cliffs and walls with his feet. He often solves problems for various tribes and eliminates violence, which is very popular among the people. One day, Laba went hunting in the mountains, standing on the top of a high mountain, intoxicated by the beautiful scenery. He couldn't help singing, expressing his love for nature and his desire for hairdressing life. The sonorous singing attracted the melodious and euphemistic singing of Zhang Ni A Zhi, a shepherd girl on another mountain. They sang love songs and crossed mountains and rivers until dark. From then on, they loved each other and swore to each other.

Heracles Hot Abby, who has been coveted by Zhang Ni A Zhi for a long time, heard about their affair. Her heart was mixed with resentment and jealousy, and she was always looking for opportunities to kill Rabbah. Not long after, Slaby, who couldn't bear to be jealous, challenged Rabbah and wrestled with him. As a result, Rabba, a folk hero of Yi nationality, fell to his death in the wrestling duel. The gods were furious. They released an overwhelming number of insects (locusts) to destroy the mature crops on the earth.

Zhang Ni A Zhi, a clever man, climbed the mountains and found a venerable Bimo (priest) on the horizon. Bimo leafed through the gobbledygook and told Zhang Ni A Zhi: We should use torches to exterminate locusts. Zhang Ni, A Zhi and Blackbody Rabbah led the people up the mountain to tie the Artemisia pole torch, tied the torch for three days and three nights, burned the torch for three days and three nights, and finally burned all the bugs, and the crops were saved. On behalf of the Yi people's traditional Chinese painting works-the author Di Ying Shao was furious when he saw this scene. Use magic to turn the overworked blackbody Laba into a mountain. Zhang Ni A Zhi looked at all this and was heartbroken. In Bimo's prayer, she gave herself up and turned into a beautiful Miluo flower in the mountains and turned into a black Laba. This day happens to be June 24 of the lunar calendar.

From then on, in order to commemorate this day, the Yi people will strike a flint to light the flame in the traditional way on June 24 of the lunar calendar, and go to the fields to pray for good weather and good harvests in the coming year. People are singing and dancing, celebrating the victory of disaster relief, praising the courage of Laba, a black man, and the cleverness and beauty of Zhang Ni A Zhi. Over time, the annual Torch Festival of the Yi people was formed. The Torch Festival of Yi people generally lasts for three days and three nights, and is divided into three stages: welcoming fire, playing with fire and delivering fire.
