Where did Huangguoshu Waterfall come from and why did it get its name?

According to legend, the Baishui River is like a jade belt, winding between mountains, breaking through the stone gorge and sliding over the slate, sometimes exultating and running, and sometimes swimming slowly. Baishui River flows into the valley of Biandan Mountain, with willows and bamboos swaying on both sides; In the clear river, the mountains are reflected and the fish are falling flowers. At the place where the river will flow out in the gully of Biandan Mountain, at the foot of the green hill on the right side of the river bank, in a dense bamboo forest, a thatched house stands quietly under the cliff near the mountain and water. The mossy roof left traces of time; The dilapidated bamboo fence and bamboo door are printed with traces of long floods. There lived an old Buyi couple, 72 old people and 68 old nurses in the thatched cottage, which added up to 140 years old. The two old people have no children and daughters. Every year, they rely on the old people to cut off pieces of reeds and thatch by the river and the mountains, set fire to ashes, and plant millet to make a living. Cut wild hemp from old milk, feed chickens and ducks to lay eggs, and take oil and salt to cook. Close the door to sleep as soon as it gets dark, and get up for work as soon as the chicken crows. Life is neither hungry nor cold, but it is very deserted.

For decades, both old people wanted to have a boy and a girl. But I look forward to it every day and think about it every night. The old man wanted to lose his eyes, and the old nurse wanted to wrinkle her face, but sending her son away seemed to forget their family.

When the old man was young, he heard outside that women like to eat sour food when they are happy. He deliberately dug a seedling of Huangguoshu and planted it behind the house. Now 40 or 50 years later, Huangguoshu has grown taller than the straw house, but it only blooms every year without fruit. The two old people thought, this is God's will. Zisi's urgent mood gradually became indifferent, and she never complained about each other.

One night in the early autumn of this year, the weather was cool, the moonlight outside the hut was bright, and the night wind gently blew the bamboo leaves. The two old people were lying on the bamboo bed with a linen quilt in their arms. After smoking a bag of tobacco leaves, the old man knocked the hookah on the floor in front of the bed, closed his eyes and soon snored sweetly. The old nurse was lying on her side, but she was not sleepy at all. She didn't want to wake the old man's dream, so she quietly listened to the rustling of bamboo leaves outside the house and stared at the stars in the distance outside the small window. There is a big bright star, which has been hanging on the top of Nanshan, motionless, as if staring at the grandmother in the thatched cottage for a long time. Grandma seems to feel the light of that star shining into her heart, which is blazing.

The middle of the night passed, and the old milk fell asleep in a daze. In the dim light, grandma seems to see the star in the southern sky floating towards her home. Floating, floating, getting closer. A white light flew into the hut from a small bamboo window and turned into an old fairy with a white beard, standing in front of the old woman's bamboo bed, smiling.

"Yabuyi (Buyi women) Yo, do you want to play?"

The grandmother replied in surprise, "Yes, I really want to play."

"Huangguoshu behind your house, the tallest tree this year is Guo Huang. This yellow fruit must be preserved for one hundred days. Go and pick it. After you eat it, you will have a clever game next year. "

The white-bearded fairy disappeared after saying that.

The old woman began to cry excitedly. There are also lights. Grandma shook the old man and told him what she dreamed.

The two old people dressed in a hurry and got out of bed. They opened the back door and went out to check. Sure enough, on the tall branches of Huangguoshu, a fist-sized fruit was exposed in the dense leaves, and the green husk gradually turned yellow.

From then on, every morning, the old man went up the mountain to collect crops, went to bed in the afternoon and sat under the Huangguoshu to watch all night; The old nurse cooks and watches during the day.

The old man kept watch for ninety-nine nights and didn't even dare to blink his eyes every night. Until the last night, I will smoke a few more packs of cigarettes. At dawn, I can go up the tree to pick yellow fruits and drink old milk.

Just before dawn, a cold wind suddenly blew. A kite flew away with the wind and rushed to the top of Huangguoshu.

The old man shivered, and a big mystery rose in his heart: what will this kite do when it is not bright? Is it a ghost? He grabbed a stone, jumped up and threw it at the kite. The kite turned over in the air, avoided the stone and flew straight to the top of the tree. It took the yellow fruit away with its claws.

The old man picked up a skin full of stones, roared to catch a kite, and ran to throw stones step by step. The old wet nurse was awakened, ran out with a sickle, and stamped her feet and cursed at the kite in the air.

The kite hovers over the treetops, over the bamboo forest, over the Baishui River, and is about to fly to the steep cliff on the other side. The old man took the last stone out of the skin and threw it at the hateful kite. Impartially, the stone is hitting the kite in the abdomen. As soon as its claws were released, Huang Chengcheng's fruit fell straight to the center of Baishui River. 1 of "bang", rock-breaking, Guo Huang smashed the Baishui River, and the lower part of the river sank dozens of feet.

This is how Huangguoshu Waterfall was formed.

Second:

Legend has it that when Wu Sangui was defeated, he threw 18 gold and silver into the rhinoceros pond. Since then, people have dreamed of getting these treasures.

After several years, a family moved here for the first time, which happened to be an old couple. One day. A foreigner came to the rhinoceros pond and used his magic to see the wealth in the pond. However, he didn't know how to avoid the pond and get it, so he wandered around the pond for three days. One day, he suddenly found a yellow tree with a fairy fruit on the cliff above the waterfall. This fruit is a sacred object that sucks up the water in the pool, but the time is not enough, and the magical power is still a little poor. Must be raised for one hundred days. So, I asked my parents to watch the fairy fruit and go back to prepare the tools to get the treasure.

After three months, the fairy fruit grows bigger and bigger, shaped like a bucket. However, no foreigners came back. After ninety-nine days, foreigners still didn't come, so parents picked the fairy fruit and threw it into the pool for testing. As soon as the fairy fruit entered the pool, it was radiant, the sound was absorbed, the waterfall water stopped falling, and the pool water fell. In less than an hour, there will be no water in the pool. If you see the gold and silver treasures at the bottom of the pool. Just when they were surprised, there was a sudden loud noise like the sky were to fall in the pool. Hector's parents are at a loss. The waterfall immediately fell and the pool was full. Everything is back to normal.

The next day, when foreigners came here, they didn't see the fairy fruit on the tree. They asked the reason before they knew it. "Fairy fruit still owes a day's wages, what a pity!" He sighed. What a pity! "

Later, there were many people in this place. In order to commemorate this ancient fairy tree of the Yellow Sect, this place was named "Huangguoshu". After a long time, it was called Huangguoshu.

Third:

Huangguoshu is named after Huangjiaoshu. Because local Guizhou people can't pronounce jiao, they use the homophonic "fruit" instead, and Huangjiaoshu Waterfall becomes Huangguoshu Waterfall.
