Ashima's Story

There used to be a place called Awadi, where a poor family named Geluriming gave birth to a bright girl. The parents hoped that the daughter would shine like gold, so they named her Ashima. She gradually grew up, like a gorgeous beauty flower. Ashima wears embroidered buns on her head, and the bright girl is charming. The embroidered waistband shines brightly, and the young man is dazzled by her. She is good at singing and dancing, and her clear and loud voice often attracts young men into the public room. She is capable of embroidering and weaving hemp, and is as fragrant as cinnabar flowers beside the young man. On the Torch Festival of this year, Ashima confided her true feelings to Ahei and vowed to never marry anyone else for life.

Ahei is a brave and intelligent young man named Sani. His parents were abused by the tusi when he was 12 years old and died one after another. He was captured by the wealthy man Rebbala and sent to serve as a laborer. One day, he got lost while picking fresh fruits for his master on the mountain. He suffered from cold and hunger in the dense forest of Daguan Shen, and was shocked. He was afraid of being scolded by his master and dared not go back. At that moment, he met a little girl named Ashima who was herding sheep. She brought Ahei home, and Ahei was adopted by Ashima's father and mother as his adopted son. From then on, Ahei and Ashima, two innocent children, loved each other deeply. Gradually, Ahei grew into a big and small guy, with a personality like a pine tree on a high mountain - so broken that it couldn't bend, becoming a role model for the young men around him. People sing and praise him, saying:

The trees in Guishan are tall and green pine trees,
Sani young man Ahei is the best,
The towering green pine trees are not afraid of the cold,
Brave Ahei has eaten tiger gall.

Ahei is very hardworking and skilled at growing crops. He cleared the land on the gravel ground and planted corn, which grew stronger and had longer ears than others. He went up the mountain to chop firewood more than other young men. He has loved riding bare backed horses since childhood. The horse he adjusted is strong and agile to ride. He drew his bow and shot arrows, hitting every shot with precision. His adoptive father, Gelu Riming, passed on the divine arrow to him, giving him wings like a tiger. Ahei likes singing, his voice is particularly loud and clear. He likes to play the flute and three strings. The sound of his flute is particularly melodious, and the strings he plays are particularly pleasing to the ear. I wonder how many girls he has attracted. During the Torch Festival that year, after Ashima and Ahei expressed their love for each other, the righteous siblings became engaged to each other.

One day on the street, Ashima went to rush to the street and was noticed by Aji, the son of the wealthy Jebbala. He wanted to marry Ashima as his wife. He went home and begged his father Rebbala to hire a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for him. Rebbala had long heard of Ashima's beautiful reputation, and he immediately agreed to his son's request, inviting the powerful matchmaker Haire to come to Ashima's house to propose marriage. When Hai Re arrived at Ashima's house, he used his snake like tongue to praise how good and wealthy the Rebbalah family was, how Ashima had enjoyed her past marriages… After hearing this, Ashima said, "The Rebbalah family is not a big thug's family. They only plant flowers to attract bees, but bees ignore them. Clear water does not beat muddy water all the way, and sheep cannot accompany jackals and wolves. Ashima's answer angered Hai Re, who threatened, "The Rebbala family is a wealthy and powerful family in Yadi. If Rebbala stomps his feet twice, the mountains in Yadi will shake three times. If Ashima doesn't marry, she's already gone. Be careful not to lose her home. Ashima, no matter how threatening or tempting Hai Re is, will not marry.

In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived, and the grass at the bottom of the water is withered. The sheep cannot eat enough, and Ahei has to drive the flock to a faraway hot place in southern Yunnan to graze. Before leaving, Ahei bid farewell to Ashima, and they encouraged and instructed each other, reluctant to part ways. After Ahei left, Rebbala had evil intentions and sent thugs and servants to take Ashima like wolves and tigers. I want Ashima to kowtow, have a drink, receive guests, cook cooked rice, and marry even if she doesn't get married. Ashima was loyal to her love with Ahei. After being taken to the home of Rebbala, she refused to comply and refused to marry Ahi in the face of the threats and temptations of the Rebbala couple. The wealthy man held out gold, silver, and gold treasures, pointing to the barn, cows, and sheep, and said to Ashima, "As long as you follow Azhi, these are all yours." Ashima didn't look at them and said contemptuously, "I don't care about these, I just won't marry your family. Beating Ashima fiercely, leaving her covered in bruises. Rebbala's wife cursed Ashima as' born with a lowly fate, blessed without enjoyment '. Ashima was locked up in a black prison, but she firmly believed that as long as Ahei knew she was being held in the Rebbala family, she would come to save her.

One day, Ahei was shepherding his sheep when the messenger found him and reported the news of Ashima being robbed. After hearing the news, Ahei was very worried about Ashima's safety. He immediately jumped his horse and whipped his whip, traveling day and night, crossing mountain streams and dangerous cliffs, and rushed home from afar to rescue Ashima. He arrived at the doorstep of Rebbala's house, but Azhi tightly closed the iron door and refused to enter. He proposed to sing a song against Ahei and only allowed him to enter after winning. Azhi sat on the doorstep, and Ahei sat under the fruit tree, singing and dancing together for three days and three nights· Azhi lacks talent and intelligence, and as he sings, he becomes more and more speechless. He is so anxious that his face turns red and his neck thickens, and his voice becomes more and more unpleasant, like the sound of a lame clam; And Ah Hei, who is talented and wise, becomes more and more energetic as he sings, with a smiling face and a loud voice. Ah Hei finally won the singing, and Ah Zhi had to let him in through the door. But Aji also raised various difficulties, such as cutting down trees, picking up trees, and sowing seeds with Ahei Sai. These tasks are not as skilled as Ah Hei, who surpasses Ah Zhi in every aspect. Rebbala couldn't resist Ahei, so he came up with a cunning plan. He pretended without a smile and said, "It's getting late. You should sleep well first, and tomorrow I'll take you and Ashima all the way!" Ahei agreed to stay and was arranged to sleep in a house without a door. At midnight, Rebbala instructed his servant to release three tigers in an attempt to harm Ahei. Ahei was already prepared. When the tiger opened its bloodbath and pounced on him, he took out his bow and arrow, aimed it at the tiger, and shot three arrows in a row, killing the tiger. The next day, the father and son of Rebbala were surprised to see the tiger die and had no other choice. They agreed to release Ashima. However, when Ahei walked out of the gate and waited, Rebbala immediately closed the gate, broke his promise and admitted not to release Ashima.

Ahei couldn't bear it anymore and immediately drew his bow and shot three arrows in a row. The first arrow hits the gate, and the gate is immediately shot open; The second arrow hit the pillar of the hall, causing the house to vibrate and hum; The third arrow hit the altar, shaking it and causing it to sway. Rebbala was frightened and quickly ordered the servant to pull out the arrow from the offering table. But the arrow seemed to have taken root, and no one could pull it out. He had no choice but to ask someone to open the door of the black prison, release Ashima, and plead with her, "As long as you pull out the arrow, I will let you go home immediately." Ashima looked disdainfully at Rebbalah, walked forward, and gently pulled out the arrow like picking flowers, then left Rebbalah's house with Ahei.

Rebbala and his son watched eagerly as Ahei led Ashima away, feeling very dissatisfied but afraid to stop him. The father and son of Rebbala, with their wicked hearts, refused to give up and came up with a ruthless plan that would destroy all conscience. They knew that Ahei and Ashima had to pass through the twelve cliff feet to get home, so they hooked up with the cliff god and wanted to turn the small river at the foot of the cliff into a big river, drowning Ahei and Ashima. Rebbala and his son, accompanied by their servants, rushed to clear the rocks upstream of the small river before Ahei and Ashima crossed the river, taking advantage of the flash flood. Just as Ah Hei and Ah Shi Ma were crossing the river, a torrential flood came and Ah Shi Ma was swept into a whirlpool. Ah Hei only heard Ah Shi Ma shout 'Ah Hei Ge come save me', and he never saw her voice again, nor did he see her trace.

Ashima disappeared, and Ahei struggled to get to the shore, searching everywhere for Ashima. He searched and searched, finding the clear sky and the river turning into a small river, but he couldn't find Ashima. He called out loudly, "Ashima! Ashima! Ashima!" However, he only heard the same voice from the top of the twelve cliffs: "Ashima! Ashima! Ashima

Originally, the girl Yingshan Ge on the Twelve Cliff saw Ashima swept away by the flood; He jumped into the vortex, cleared the floodwaters, rescued Ashima, and settled together at the Twelve Cliff. Ashima transformed into a stone peak and a card drawing god (Echo God). From now on, she will answer as you call her.

Ahei lost Ashima, but he always missed her. Every day at mealtime, he would carry a bowl of rice and walk out the door, shouting to Shi Yazi, "Ashima! Ashima!" The Ashima standing on the stone Yazi responded, "Ashima! Ashima.

When Dad and Mom went out to do work, they shouted at Shi Yazi, "How are Mom and Dad doing? Yeah! Yeah? Ashima!" The Ashima standing on Shi Yazi also responded, "How are Mom and Dad doing? Yeah! Yeah? Ashima

Under the stone cliff where Ashima stands, the companions play three strings, play the flute, and sing mountain songs in front of Ashima on the cliff. Ashima on the cliff also responds to the sharp and melodious sounds of the strings and flute, singing mountain songs.

Ashima's voice echoes forever in the stone forest; Her figure has turned into stone, forever accompanying her fellow villagers.

Legend Two:
In the small stone forest, there is a lake with sparkling blue waves, and an independent stone peak stands by the lake, attracting countless tourists to come and admire and take photos every day. Look, with that tall and slender figure, graceful and charming figure, and that Baotou shirt, the backpack behind her, how much like a Yi ethnic girl! This is the famous Ashima Stone Peak. She has another touching legendary story. In the past, in the Azadi region, the poor family of Gelu Riming gave birth to a bright girl. Parents hoped that their daughter would be as precious and shining as gold, so they named her "Ashima", which means gold. Ashima gradually grew up and became as beautiful as a gorgeous Meiyi flower. She is good at singing and dancing, and many young men like her. She fell in love with her childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart, the orphan Ahei, who loved each other deeply and made a vow not to marry him. On the Torch Festival of the year, she got engaged to the smart and brave Ahei. Azhi, the son of the wealthy Jebbala, also fell in love with the vibrant Ashima and asked a matchmaker to arrange a marriage, but no matter how threatening or tempting he was, it was to no avail. The Rebbala family took advantage of Ahei's journey to a distant place to herd sheep, and sent people to take Ashima away and force her to marry Azhi. Ashima swore to die and refused, but was whipped and imprisoned in a black prison. Upon hearing the news, Ahei rushed day and night to save Ashima. He competed with Azhi in singing, cutting down trees, picking up trees, and withdrawing seeds, all of which won against Azhi. Rebbala became angry and embarrassed, and instructed his servant to release three fierce tigers to pounce on Ahei. He was shot dead by Ahei's three arrows and rescued Ashima. The venomous Rebbala father and son refused to give up and hooked up with the cliff god. When Ashima and Ahei crossed the river, they amplified the water and swept away Ashima. The Yingshan Song girl from Twelve Yazi rescued and transformed Ashima into a stone peak, becoming the Echo God. From now on, she will answer you as you call her. Her voice and shadow will forever remain in the human world. The legendary story of Ashima has also been adapted into movies and large-scale musicals, which have caused strong reactions after being screened and performed at home and abroad, and Ashima's story has also been widely spread.
